I've done this. Over the years, my mailbox has accumulated thousands and thousands of emails thanks to being subscribed to many mailing-lists. Mail.app has gotten fairly unresponsive and took about 10 - 15 seconds to start up. After running this command, Mail.app starts up instantly! Definitely...

This is the article I am beginning to direct people in the West to who start being preachy about being eco friendly and such. You hate being affluent? Then swap with us. I grew up in the third world, and moved away for university and never really looked back. People who argue about the emerging...

Ehm... CSS = Cascading Style Sheets if we're talking about web design. No idea where fryke got that weird definition from :D

Or we could wait 20 years or so for the global warming fad to die out and they'll bring back global cooling like we had in the 1970s.

As a general rule, most games on OS X commonly store their saved games in two places. ~/Library/Application Support/game name or ~/Documents/game name. Sometimes, they may not use the game name but the publisher's name like EA or Microsoft Games, etc. I have yet to come across games saving data...

The saved games are stored in your Documents/EA Games/Sims 2 folder. If you trashed your installation, your saved games shouldn't be affected since they are stored in a different place.

Is carbon-offsetting just eco-enslavement? This is an interesting article that I came across while surfing the web. I do not do carbon offsetting, so I do not know if the claims in this article are true. But if they are, carbon offsetting could be a very disturbing trend. What do you...

I agree if we're talking about instances of pick pocketing and such, which are repeatable crimes. I don't know much about law, but wasn't it the fact that she was tried and found guilty of murder and had already carried out her sentence? There would be no need to appeal her first conviction...

Heres my list of applications: 1) VirtualBox - Something like Parallels (i.e. allows you to run other OSes via virtualization), but its free so give it a go. 2) TexShop - I work with LaTeX a lot and this has been tremendously helpful. 3) BibDesk - Bibliography manager for use with LaTeX. 4)...

Uhm, it calls itself a "small Christian calendar". What else did you expect? :)

Or you could make it run something useful, like Protein folding or some such. What's a few dollars (or ££) if you contribute towards life saving treatments?

I've contacted Apple and they've been nice enough to ship me a new battery free of charge :)

In such scenarios, a better question is why you are rendering/working off a NTFS partition in OS X to begin with.

Here's a picture that should hopefully help explain my problem. My laptop shuts down when there seems to be something like 30% charge left (see attached picture). I've tried resetting the PMU, and I've also tried running the battery flat a couple of times. It never uses the last 1400 mAh before...

Samba works well on Unix machines too so I don't see why you wouldn't want to use it. Before I used samba (I thought it was too much hassle to set up), I used ftp to transfer files. Don't laugh, it worked quite well.

My Macbook is going to be 1 year old on the 6th of September. Even so, the battery life is half of what I should be getting. Anybody know if the battery is covered under warranty? Or if the Macbook battery exchange program is still active?

They need to have more programs on there and lower the price a little. £1.89 per episode of South Park?!?

I've figured out a solution. I just switched the keyboard layout from GB to US. It all keys seem to work and the pound key is now replaced with a hash key.

That's the pound sign (£).

I need the Hash key under Windows. On my Macbook with a UK keyboard layout, the hash key is usually ALT+3. This doesn't work on Windows. Any ideas?
