The problem with Crossover is that it tries to emulate the entire Windows API, which is no small feat. They will always be playing catch-up to Microsoft as the Windows API is constantly evolving. It is much better to just create a VM that allows you to install an actual copy of MS Windows (a la...

I think the wise thing to do is to wait until Macworld is over. Nevertheless, if it is important you get a Mac there is no harm in buying now, and setting aside $200 for the iWork and Leopard upgrade. New models of computers get released all the time on the PC side, and there is much less ruckus...

Crossover in its current form is a waste of time and money. You'll get better Windows experience with Parallels or Bootcamp. It's a shame I've already purchased a cross over license :(.

While it isn't a fix per se, it's much better than leaving your machine unpatched after the entire world has been alerted to the vulnerabilities affecting Apple machines. I suggest using Landon's fixes until Apple releases an official fix. Waiting till the end of the month before doing something...

Most law firms who do class action lawsuits do not charge a fee, preferring instead to go for a percentage of the winnings. This is especially profitable, as class action lawsuits try to seek millions and billions of dollars in compensation. That's why there are so many frivolous class actions...

I'm looking for a program that allows you to make a movie from by capturing whatever is displayed on your monitor. This is useful for making live demonstrations of how bits of software work, and saving that to movies for others to download. It's also useful for creating videos of gameplay, like...

The Intel Macs run Linux perfectly. However, take it from a long time Linux user, Mac OS X has nothing to fear from Linux as far as usability is concerned. Performance wise, while it isn't bad, there are things that could be better. You will not notice a performance difference, unless you're...

Cocoa does not use C++. You can access the Cocoa framework from Java and Objective-C, but that doesn't mean that the framework makes "use" of them. Cocoa is implemented using Objective-C and while there is a bridge to make it work in other languages like Java and C#, it's usually far more hassle...

#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char** argv) { double *y; y = malloc(sizeof(*y) * 100000000); //that's a double array of size 10^8 y[0] = 1; y[99999999] = 1; printf("%f %f\n", y[0], y[size - 1]); //when done with the array, release the memory free(y)...

The original "i" stood for Internet since the original iMacs were touted as computers that were "internet ready".

Araf. That's all I know in welsh. Keep seeing them on the roads and such.

I thought it was daft :rolleyes: There is only so many ways to design a calendar application, or a photo management application. Copying is just so rampant in this industry that it is silly to make a big fuss about it.

Try using a different keyboard. See if the problem persists. I'm suspecting that it wouldn't, and hence the keyboard is faulty. I can type at about 100 words per minute, and I've never experienced the problems you describe. Do CMD+Left arrow to go to the beginning of the line, CMD + right...

Macbook with a Core Duo processor. How I wish I got a Core 2 Duo though :(.

True, but it just shows that Windows has had support for 4 letter extensions for some time now. It's not something new.

Except that PDF is not editable by most word processors ... Most people share documents for collaboration, which is why Word is so important and so indispensable. People who just want a good word processor, and share finished PDF files with others use Mellel anyway ;).

Hmm .... I've just checked my copy of Mellel and NWE. They do not support exporting to OpenOffice formats. Perhaps I should try to get in touch with the user communities and find out if support for OpenOffice file formats are worth while. However, the fact that an open format isn't supported by...

That's a rather perverse way of thinking. How does the popularity of Open Office help the developers of applications like Mellel, Nisus Writer Express, Mesa, etc?

Err... how is this a major issue? Not many people are using Office 2007, which is due to be released for the Mac sometime in 2007. Those who do have Office 2007 will know to save in formats readable in previous versions. Just wait till Office 2007 is released, or for $YOUR_FAV_OFFICE_SUITE to...

Only available on Windows, I'm afraid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RatDVD
