Howdy folks, I have a question for the vi and vim masters out there. I am trying to map a key in vim to execute a search-and-replace command (for ## comments). The following command works perfectly if I just type it in: :s'<,'>g/^/norm I ## However, if I map it over to a key like...

Greetings, Due to an overwhelmingly high amount of RFI (radio interference) being generated by my wired ethernet network, I have decided to switch some of it over to fiber optic medium. This question isn't mac-specific obviously, but I think the folks here will know the answers faster than...

Hello friends, My Dad just deleted a very important file off his computer (Leopard, ppc, HFS+). What is the best program to use for undelete? A quick search with google or macupdate reveals several programs. Impulsively, he already purchased one (" Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery...

Greetings, When in plug in to the headphone jack on our 24" intel iMac, the audio continues to come out of the built-in speakers. I have tried plugging in all sorts of headphones, as well as amplifiers and such. The System Preferences, as well as the Audio MIDI Setup continue to only say...

Born on the 12th. He's our first, and we just got him home. He's doing great! His name is Skyler.

Greetings, I recently purchased an old iMac DVD SE. (400MHz G3, slot-loading Matshita 8184 DVD drive.) When I first powered on the computer, it had many problems. It wouldn't boot, the screen was all out of alignment, etc. Now I've fixed most of the problems, and I'm on the last one...

I was curious tonight as to the inner-workings of these parts of iTunes, so I dug in with some tools, and wrote a little article on my web site about the details. You should be familiar with words like "EQ", "Distortion" and "Compression" before you read this article...

I'm not a big fan of most GUI config tools, and here's an example of why: When I try and add "sites" to apache, everything appears to be ok while I'm editing the new config, but when I return to the "sites" part of the apache config, all the sites are gone (that is, none show up). If I click...

a program designed to keep your OS up-and-running reports the following things need to be installed: It's not a flame, I'm just admining my first OS X Server box after many years of other unix-based operating systems, and I find it funny.

Obviously 398 is known as "kryptolan", but then... what is kryptolan? Noticed a connection from a computer on my network, and I just have no idea what it is. I'm hoping someone here knows what this is, because I will seriously go insane if I can't figure this out! Thanks!

Hello all, I'm wondering if there's a way to convert RTFD files (which contain images) into HTML. Preferably, something that is either command-line, or apple scriptable. I've been googling all day, have only found one such utility, yet it depends on an old program distributed binary-only...

Hello folks, I'm looking for any information on common tape backups. My data is around 100GB, and long shelf life is very important. I've looked at company data sheets, charts, etc, and they all look good on paper - so I'm posting here, hoping to find some actual users of the products...

Greetings all, I've never posted in this area before, but there's a first for everything, right? So I've got this project in Final Cut Pro, which is destined for a DVD produced from DVD Studio Pro. I was hoping to make use of Apple's Compressor.app for the final MPEG-2 DVD compression...

If you had to backup 20 to 30 gigs of unique data every week to a removable format, what would it be? Has to last a long time (over 10 years, climate-controlled, of course), has to be compatible with Mac OS X (scsi, sata, or firewire connected), cart's can't cost more than $50 So, any...

As the topic says, I'll be moving to the area of Woodstock, NY in a few weeks. What a change from Arizona, eh? Anyway, I'm having a little trouble finding housing in the area. Looks like the nearest apartments are a good half hour out of the way. And in the winter, I'm sure that time will be...

I have a quicksilver G4 (not mirror'd drives) with an Nvidia GeForce 2 mx. Believing that this card supports TwinView (perhaps it does not, I may be mistaken), I purchased an ADC to VGA adaptor in order to connect two VGA monitors to the card, and support "Desktop spanning", or "dual head"...

I left the screen at my mom's house for a month or so, and then it happened. Sounds like it needs to be degaussed, right? Well, the monitor (an Mitsubishi 920, by NEC) has a degauss function built right in to the on screen controls. When I press it, the screen does the usual psychedelic...
