Wow, that's nasty. Today I installed Jaguar on my old Cube which my Dad uses at the moment. After the first CD is finished and it should boot into 10.2 to install the second CD, after about 3 seconds of booting I am thrown into the unix shell. I tried everything, zapping PRAM, running...

OK people, tell us what your favourite movies are and why you think people should watch them if they don't know them. Let me start with my favourite movies - in no order Alien trilogy - everything you want. Action, horror, science fiction. Note that I wrote "trilogy"!!! Natural Born...

OK, I don't know if this is possible, but I am sure that the UNIX guys here will be able to help me. Correct me if I am wrong, but a pipe is used to redirect the standard out of a command. Now, if I pipe something into the standard in of another command, is there a possibility to get what is...

Is it possible to pipe the output datastream of tar over an SSH connection? Let's say I am logging in to a remote server via SSH and want to make a backup, taring some files before moving them to my computer. Is it possible to tell tar that it shouldn't create the archive on the remote host...

I know that some over here use it. I'd like to know on which rank you are and how many WUs you have returned/what your score is. Everyone who doesn't know what I am talking about, check out folding.stanford.edu I am running it nearly 24/7, only quitting it when I am using time critical...

I officially open the movie quotes thread! I will now post the quote from a successfull movie, and the first who posts the correct answer may post the next quote. You may ask questions about the movie, but I - as the one who posted the quote - may only answer with "yes" or "no". The quotes...

I am searching a certain input device for OS X. It basically is an advanced volume control. All I know is that it is round, silver, has a pulsating blue light under it and is in the fake iTiVio movie...and it once was on the Apple site, since it works together with FCP and Quicktime...anybody...

Today I tried to install Flash MX and got the following error message: "Administrator or higher access required". I am logged in as root. When I log in with an admin user, the installer runs, and at the end, it says it doesn't have enough privileges to finish the installation. I installed...

I am running my machine mainly as root, but I seldom login as other users for different tasks plus my GF uses my Mac sometimes, so using automatic login is no option for me. The problem is, I hate it that I always have to use the "Other Users" button to use my "standard" root user account...

It seems like nobody mentioned it....Connectix just released an update to VPC 5.0.2, promising better performance...well, let's see if that is true

http://slashdot.org/apple/02/03/04/1445216.shtml?tid=107 Hmmm....well, I think this is redicelious, it's like accusing the producers of a VCR that they support making illegal copies of movies. What I don't really get, why does Disney attack Apple? I mean: Apple likes/cooperates with...

I have red a rather interesting article written by one of the Windows programmers... what if Apple would port OS X over to x86? OK, this horse has been beaten to death, most of us agree that it would be the death of Apple since they have to sell their hardware....but....what if they would...

Today, for the very first time, I used the OS X DVD Player. I have real good standalone, region code free, macrovision free DVD player with a dolby 5.1 surround system and a big TV attached to it in my living room, so I never used the OS X DVD player till now, and since I make all my DVDs in OS...
