The King and Rook don't exactly exchange places. The King moves two squares to its right or left (depending on whether you're castling King-side or Queen-side) and the Rook hops over to the other side of it. To castle in a chess program, move the King to its destination square. Since the...

Can someone please post the build number? I'm sure many of you know this, but for those who don't: go to the Apple menu, select "About This Mac", and click where it says "Version 10.1.2". It should change to say "Build XXXX". TIA, --Andy

Wow, you're way out there. I live in Astoria, which is much closer. If you want to make the trip, you can find directions at: http://www.jandr.com/Templates/Information/directions.tem Note that the City Hall station is (I believe) closed due to Sept. 11, but the other options are just as...

I had the same problem with .bashrc not getting picked up after I changed my Terminal preferences. When I renamed it to .bash_profile, it worked. This is weird, because .bashrc worked in 10.0.4, but at least there is a workaround for 10.1. --Andy

I've found the output of 'ps' does not always contain all the command-line arguments that were passed to a given process. Specifically, if any of the arguments has the form "-xxx=yyy", that argument and all arguments that follow it are missing from the 'ps' output. The missing information...
