    No more PowerBook... now we play the waiting game...

    Yep, definitely ring AppleCare support. They will record the serial number of your laptop as being stolen, and if anyone rings up asking about where to get a power adaptor they will refer them to a reseller and then call that reseller to let them know. It's worth a try.

    libpcap and OS X?

    Thanks for the link wadesworld, but I'm not sure it's entirely that guy's fault. I tried using some other pcap routines in my code which were also designated "undefined symbols" by the linker. That is, until I tried bracken's method of using the "-l" flag which seems to work for me too. One...

    libpcap and OS X?

    What is a namespace, and how would I go about finding out what it is for libpcap? P.S. libpcap is the library which programs like tcpdump, etherpeek, ntop, etc., use to capture and analyse network packets from a network device.

    libpcap and OS X?

    I'm trying to compile a simple C program which relies on the libpcap library, except everytime I try to compile it i get the error: ld: Undefined symbols: _pcap_lookupdev Here is the C code: #include [pcap.h] #include [stdio.h] int main() { char *dev...

    Cocoa: application vs. document-based application?

    What is the difference between the two? Can a normal cocoa application still create a .plist file? Which of the two would be best to use for certain applications? Would it be fair to say that the features of a document-based application are just a superset of those of a normal application...

    12" Powerbooks drop $200

    12" PowerBook dropped $900 here in Australia, the 15" 1GHz dropped $1100, and the 17" dropped $700. Amazing.

    tcpdump and dropped packets...

    I plan to write some sort of network data tool in Cocoa which will let you know how much data you have downloaded/uploaded. I've decided to base it on the built in tool 'tcpdump'. The problem is that if the network transfer rate is too high tcpdump will end up dropping a majority of the...

    Ah-ha. Application Support -> UT2k3 -> Benchmarks -> Results. :D They're all there, named chronologically.

    Unreal2k3 demo

    Perhaps it was just "timedemo"... I think that was it. But the problem still remains, as you said, because the demo only plays once - it doesn't loop.

    Oh, okay. Umm... I think there was a timedemo command in UT... was it "timedemo 1"? I can't remember...

    Unreal2k3 demo

    Well, the Terminal-newbie friendly way to do it would be this: 1) Right/Control-click on the UT2k3 application icon 2) Choose "Show package contents" 3) Double click on "Benchmarks" 4) Now, open the Terminal and drag one of the ".sh" files from the "Benchmarks" folder into the Terminal...

    Unreal2k3 demo

    Apparently, the botmatch demos are meant to test your CPU, while the flyby's test your graphics card. I'll post my scores for each later when I get a chance.

    Unreal2k3 demo

    It would be much more accurate if you benchmarked your machine with one of the included demos, then everyone else could do the same and the results would actually mean something. On the UT2k3 application icon, choose "Show package contents", go to benchmarks, and execute one of the shell scripts.

    Unreal2k3 demo

    Have a look in your Application Support folder. I went there to customise my resolution to 1440x900 which is the native resolution of my 17" PowerBook, but the game runs totally *shite* like that :( That's a big disadvantage with large LCDs, if you have a low end graphics card and can't...

    Unreal2k3 demo

    Runs very very well on my 17" PowerBook with 512 RAM, I was surprised. Default graphics settings at 800x600. Very smooth and no lagging/skipping framerate. I'm not too interested in UT2k3 itself, but if this is any indication of how Deus Ex 2 will perform - I'm stoked :D

    128 AAC vs 128 MP3

    I too am noticing the same thing with some of my MP3s in iTunes 4, though I feel it has nothing to do with the "Sound Check" option at all. I've never, ever had that option checked in the preferences. The volume seems to dip at specific points in a track... perhaps when it reaches a certain...
