you lack the proper codec. avi files sometimes use exotic codecs (encoder/decoder), and without the codec you cannot view the file. with windows, i find that a lot of times you can go looking for codecs and install them, and then the movie will work. on the mac platform, most codecs are not...

yeah me too. weird.

actually, none of the new builds of jaguar have any new features (any newer than previous builds, that is). apple stopped adding features to jaguar quite a while ago, and is in the final stages of debugging (presumably), so no new jaguar builds have new features, just fewer bugs. if you want...

let the installer do a clean format. make sure you use HFS, not UFS. same thing with the 10.1 update. let it format and do a complete clean install. maybe zap the pram?

apache will not serve up files that are not in the designated directories. the default configuration looks here only: /Library/WebServer/Documents/ and ~/Sites. you can change these locations in httpd.conf, but it is not recommended. a better option might be to set up anonymous ftp. most...

strange that your disk utility.app doesn t do msdos

i think disk utility.app gives a choice of msdos format. can you use that?

try df -k

try newfs_msdos

this is not UNIX. this is a firmware level command line. to access it, hold down command-option-O-F while the computer turns on. from there you can change the password. realize that the firmware password app that you used was just a frontend to this firmware utility. if you can t use the...

go to the OF prompt, and type setenv security-mode none it will prompt you for your OF password, and then it will turn security off, allowing you to boot from any disk you want, including in firewire target mode.

well, i believe you can specify which OS you want to boot by manually specifying the boot file from the OF prompt. it would look something like this: boot hd:5,\System\Library\CoreServices\BootX for OSX. i m not sure which file is the boot file for OS9 (and i no longer run OS9, so i can...

one of the nice things LaTeX can do is easily fit equations in line with your text. it is smart: if you put an equation in the text, it will make the fractions and integrals and stuff fit on one line, but if you designate it an important equation, the fractions get two lines, and the integral...

i ve just been poking around in TeXShop, and i noticed that you can open a panel with a whole bunch of buttons for using LaTeX tags. this would make it considerably easier for someone to start working in LaTeX without any previous knowledge. still not as simple as a WYSIWYG equation editor...

word processors with equation editors (appleworks, MS office, koffice, and others all have them), are OK if all you want to do is print it out and have it on paper (although LaTeX documents look a lot better than any equation editor i have used, but that s just my opinion) the problem with...

i believe that option startup will only show you a choice os OSes if they are installed in separate partitions. this is due to the fact that only one folder can be blessed at a time.

the problem usually lies more with the fact that you are moving your software from one UNIX to another, with slightly different APIs, than the fact that your processor is different. for example, porting gnome for linux/intel to linux/ppc requires just a recompile. but OSX has different APIs...

yeah, its free of cost and free of restriction (being GPL). you can get it from apples website here this software package won apples award for best open source OSX port, by the way. incidentally, it has a slight learning curve. so if your needs are very modest, just insert your greek...

go to the international preference pane in system preferences, and choose the keyboard menu tab. then check the box next to symbol. when you want to use it, choose symbol from the menu bar with the flag that will appear when you do this. incidentally, for scientific papers, i find nothing...
