    Mac OS X VNC *CLIENT*

    Too bad it seems to be a frozen project. (no update since last May) And it's not like it's a finished project. Ie I couldn't connect to the server with the Java-applet. Sargon

    D Programming Language

    Disclaimer: When it comes to programming languages, the arguments often are rather subjective. So let's not start a flame war here but always remember it's more _opinions_ than _facts_. 3) In, Out designation on parameters. This denotes intention much better than const, references and...

    Make command on MacOSX

    You need the (freely available) developer tools.

    Terminal Background

    You missed my point, testuser. I have nothing against lots of eye-candy to attract more people to the Mac. ;) I was saying that most people who want to work with the terminal won't want this feature. So while it makes sense to add background-images to finder windows, it doesn't make sense to...

    Terminal Background

    With all due respect, but I think the guys in Cupertino have better things to do than this. Most people who use the terminal appreciate that the system does what you tell it to do w/o trying to be fancy. While the transparent terminal _can_ be useful at times, having a background picture...

    PHP, the real solution?

    Hi I've uncommented all lines containing 'php4' and it worked for me. (there should be a 'loadmodule' line and a 'addtype' line or two) HTH Sargon

    Oh, say, can you 'C'?

    Why is := an assignment and = a comparison? I've learned using C, where assignment was = so that you wouldn't get it confused with ==. Sheesh... And while we're at it.. who would use { and }? What's wrong with the words 'begin' and 'end'? 'struct' is part of the C language whereas...

    Two petitions Type/Creator vs. Suffix

    To be honest - I'd be too lazy to write such a big petition text for a (in my opinion!) minor issue. I see file extensions as... *drumbeat*.... visual types. The user changes the file-extension and the file can't be used now properly you say? Well.. you can change the type of the file and...

    Aqua Inconsistency

    I see 2 solutions to your problem. (a) You have to activate the window before being able to do anything else with it, including closing, resizing, iconifying it. Most people wouldn't like that I guess. I wouldn't mind - and in fact usually do exactly this. (eg first activate it, then close...

    entourage vs. mail.app

    I'm not sure why you guys like Carbon stuff so much. (yeah, I'm wildy generalizing now ;) Every Carbon application I've tried behaves rather bad and slows down the system considerably. Heck, I can't even listen to MP3's with iTunes while sending messages with that ^&^&( ICQ client from icq.com...

    entourage vs. mail.app

    On the other hand, this is exactly what I'd expect from a mail application. YMMV. Sargon

    gimp worth the hype?

    Not that you asked for it, but there definitely is another product which can live up to Photoshop. (and is way better depending on who you ask) It's TIFFany from Caffeine Software. (http://www.caffeinesoft.com) TIFFany initially comes from the NeXT platform. So it's not just Photoshop or...

    Un-installing stuff

    Hi I'm a bit surprised MacOS X doesn't ship with an un-installer. Having an installer provided by the system is nice but if there's no (user-friendly) way to un-install packages... What will all the people who installed the SSH-package do, when Apple ships the 10.0.1 updates which prolly...
