    Drag and Drop Shell Script

    Okay... I have found scattered resources on the web pertaining to this issue, but can't really understand how to implement it. I want to create and Applescript, that I can drop a file onto. The applescript then calls a shell script on the file that I dropped. I got the "code" below from...

    Login to a win2k Domain

    I noticed that Orielly sells a book called Using Samba Second Edition which tells you: how to integrate Samba's authentication with that of a Windows PDC which is exactly what I need, but I don't have money to fork out on a book I will use for like a two pages worth of information. Does...

    Login to a win2k Domain

    Hey all, I had a simple little question that has been bugging me for a while. I have done a bunch of research to no avail: Is there a way for the MacOS X login prompt to authenticate users on a win2k domain (obviously with a little scripting...perhaps)? We have a couple of macs in a...

    G5 or what...??

    That said, now if IBM had reached the theoretical limit of the G3 (back when it was expected to in 2001), and the fastest G4 is 1 ghz then I would say Moto's not living up to the alliance. (Of course you then have to also acknowledge that Moto's been working on Apollo...) You KNOW IBM has these...

    G5 or what...??

    Um, yeah G3's aren't as fast as the G4's? Think Again. IBM has been working on these suckers for a while and have tried to get Apple to adopt the 1 ghz G3 chip. http://www.newsfactor.com/perl/story/17712.html Also check out this posting that stated IBM should hit 1.5 ghz by next year...

    G5 or what...??

    I guess not everyone is compiling a kernel, working with Video or Audio, or a 2 gig Photo in Photoshop ;-) After all the mac community is the "creative" community right? BTW why don't you put those spare CPU cyles to use: SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)...

    G5 or what...??

    I agree. I am a college student (an Computer/Electrical Engineer major as well, go figure ;-) and things get tight. Hell I make 6.00/hr in a lab working 15 hours a paycheck with 18 credit hours of school. I just want to see things up to speed. I am not going to go out and spend $4000...

    Will OSX ever be as fast as XP?

    My Ti-book (400mhz, 256, 20 gig) runs comparably to my dad's Celeron (433, 312, 100gig-7200rpm). I am not impressed with the performance of XP, and I am not impressed with the performance of X (I even have XP's cache file on another hd!!). XP maybe faster resizing windows, but it still feels...

    How to increase Mac sales? Give away iPods!

    Apple and IBM are buddies....sortof... Too bad IBM doesn't do HDs anymore, but what IF those nice little microdrives would make their way into the iPod. Or maybe a PCMCIA slot...Hmmm wishful thinking... Why not add an Organic screen and backlighting? Hmmm, how about Ogg support, duh...

    G5 or what...??

    Okay, so, does anybody know when the hell G5's are going to come out? I am sick and tired of waiting for Motorolla. GET WITH IT. I think Apple should just buy the PPC assets from Motorolla, and work with IBM on the effort. IBM has a much faster G3 chip than Moto's Fastest G4. I keep hearing...

    Help! Newbie warning... I am currently reading Aaron Hillegass' book, and am confused on page 42. The code reads: id foo; foo=nil; [foo count]; Can somebody explain what each line of the code does, and possibly explain why I "should be happy" about this. (I understand the Java...

    What's a good book for learning C for Mac OS X?

    If you understand Java, then skip C and go right to Cocoa. Aaron Hillegrass wrote an excellent book called "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X." I am currently reading/enjoying it. You can find more information here: http://www.bignerdranch.com/book What is great about this book is that there...

    Any Network Cocoa-ers Here?

    I think this would be cool as well. It sux that I have barely started using Cocoa, but I will get better. I promise :D I am getting quite annoyed with Carracho, mainly because there is no bandwidth control. And some of the other clients I have been using seem confusing (in my opinion)...

    Accessing objects from another class

    You must first instantiate the class that you are trying to use. In java, you instantiate the class to pass it arguments. You need to have a constructor, accessor, and mutator for the class you want to instantiate. Then you can access the objects in the class you want to use. Did I make...

    Power for 1 IDE device

    Are you suggesting building a power supply? I have no idea where to begin with the any electrical equipment (kind of ironic considering I am a second-year Computer/Electrical Engineering major ;-). Is there any place I could potentially buy a power source? Are there any sites where I can find...

    Power for 1 IDE device

    :confused: I am building my own firewire drive using a firewire-to-ide bridge and an IDE cdrw drive. I want to also build a custom case for this, but I have one draw back and that deals with the power supply. Where can I find information on how to power a single IDE device? Any help would...

    Firewire to IDE bridge question...?

    :confused: Does any body know if you can daisy chain more than one IDE drive (using an IDE cable) onto one of these cards. I am assuming that the card does not need to manufacture specific, but I want to have a burner and an extra hard drive. Can both of these drives work on one Bridge...
