Here's an error I got yesterday while using iGetter. Think I should contact them :p

Perhaps I am overreacting (As I usually do :rolleyes:), However you would thing that Apple would at least give you a special character in the display as most calculators do if there is more data to be seen. I am sure many people have been affected by this problem which they are most likely...

I understand that there are calculators that work as expected for mac os x however my point was the calculator provided by apple does not work!! If M$ can pull off offering a calculator that does what is expected, shoulden't apple at the least be able to make a calculator worthy of comparision...

Sounds like a good project for a Cocoa newbie like me. It's things like this that make me wonder if Apple is going downhill....

I am a computer science student and, well, frankly this bothers me... Open up Mac OS X's calculator do: 168740 - 19.95 to get 168720 Now get a normal calculator and find the problem (hint: answer is 168720.05) If you do this in Mac OS X's calculator's advanced mode, it works out fine...

I'd make it a webserver :D

Ok, the primary reason people cannot get jpeg support for imagemagick is they forget to install the libraries. Technically you should be able to install the jpeg distribution with the following commands: ./configure --enable-static --enable-shared --prefix=/location make (sudo) make install...

Alright, I am actually trying to get Imagemagick installed (again) too. The first time I installed it gave me quite a few problems and this time is no different. I am now stuck (yet again) with installing libjpeg and having ImageMagick find it. What is the error you are running into when you...

My problem was I couldn't boot :eek: It happened right after I installed fink and then restarted. Speaking of scary situations, I also got stuck in the zsh shell without being able to log in. My computer would just start up then go into the zsh shell with a comment about /etc/ missing. That...

Yes I agree. You can't be sure your getting the most up to date versions and it CAN cause problems. Exa, if everything does not install without error. I had to reinstall X after fink had a bad relationship with my iMac. Then again, I am a unix newbie so...:D

ah I see, I had read about that change in another post but did not think it was relate because it was ntalk since there are ntalk and otalk commands as well as talk. As a follow up question, when I am not connected to the internet and I try to talk to users on my computer I get the following...

I have never been able to get talk to work. I always get a repeating [Checking for invitation on caller's machine] message. I have tried connecting locally by doing... [me:~] me% talk me ttyp2 [root:~] root% talk me ttyp2 [me:~] me% talk root ttyp2 And remotely with a friend who has red...

Thanks for the help davidbrit2. However now tab only works for displaying directories and still not for "man (space) (tab)" If it makes any difference for the resolution, I couldn't sudo the command. Instead i had to log on as root in the terminal.

TAB, sorry not the soda In 10.0-10.1.5 I was able to use the tab key to do some neat terminal stuff. One of my favorite uses for it was >man (space) (tab) Which gave me a listing of all the manual entries! Very helpful for UNIX newbies. In 10.2 if I hit the (tab) key, I just get a...

Alright, I think I'm going to try upgrading. Thanks for all of your help. I would also ask you about upgrading my graphics card but it appears mine is soldered into my computer :D :rolleyes:

I just went ahead and did a reinstall. Although even the reinstall did not work at first! I had to delete some stuff in the folder /system/core services/ or else the os x installer would just skip installing some "corrupted" files because they were already on my HD.

Yea, I was afraid of that (no dvd support). but it seems odd that the low end models would have dvd support and the next revision with new cd rw drives not. Quite a step backwards if you ask me. It does "kind of" makes sense because of the dvd lawsuit thing though. I was also wondering about...

A while back, my brother inserted a game cd at a odd angle into my 400Mhz SE imac. This bent the metal top of the cd-rom drive preventing me from inserting/removing disks without damage. After voiding my warranty, I got the imac open (without breaking the little plastic tabs located under the...

I just installed image magick after a little trouble. what part are you stuck on?

netcraft.com says WWW.apple.com is running Apache/1.3.9 (Mac OS X Server) on MacOSX. Much better but could still be boosted to 2.X for apache :P mac.com also comes up as running the netscape server software AS WELL as www.mac.com so I am still baffled.
