Well, as I said already, p2p file sharing isn't really a big interest of mine. It doesn't seem too difficult to understand that I haven't really checked out too many of the p2p threads before, but if that's beyond your understanding, there's not a heck of a lot I can do to enlighten you...

Well, this amounts to "if you don't like the discourse here, feel free to take it up in Russia/Cuba/Iraq." It's dismissive and avoids the issue. Furthermore, I have not now, nor ever, used this forum as a place to discuss piracy (that is to say, asked for or given advice on how or where to...

Whoa ed. You're darn right I don't appreciate that you edited my posts. Now I can't even write: {sour citrus fruit that's not a lemon}{thin piece of conductive material}? This is exactly what I'm talking about. I was making a theoretical point before, playing devil's advocate, but this is...

Hmmm. Are you running TinkerTool? That'd do it. (Make it visible, that is) -alex.

This is exactly what concerns me. Warez trading? Ban it. Warez talk? Well.... Like I said, doing something and talking about it are not the same thing. Absolutely. I feel I went out of my way to make that point. Heck, the board can ban all discussion of Photoshop (or any other random topic)...

What exactly is the rationale for banning any discussion of the "illegal aspects" of p2p file swapping? Editing posts that actually contain links to pirated material? Sure, I can understand that, but there is a wide gulf of difference between speech about prohibited activity and the activity...

OS X's command line ftp client also supports resumed dowloads, through the "reget" command. -alex

cd burner: Two choices. Get a firewire card, or loose the ability to boot. I suppose you could find an Apple cd burner on ebay. If you're willing to part with cd booting, then any IDE burner should work. If you are using a tower, not the desktop, you could consider making that new drive an...

pppd can do this. Read the pppd man page, and try looking at FreeBSD.org if you need more info. You'll have to at least create a /etc/pppd.conf file and start pppd on one machine. Then you can simply dial in as normal from the other. I haven't done this particular variation on a BSD system, so I...

RAID? I have all my important data on a NetBSD server running two 120GB IDE drives as a mirror. One could do the same thing with a software RAID 1 on OSX. Of course there's a speed penalty, but my theory is, desktops have fast but relatively volatile RAID 0 stripes (basically as scratch...

Well, one thing's for sure, either the make process for this app is broken, or your download is faulty. Try getting the source again and doing a make all, if that doesn't work, it would seem the developer has shipped an incomplete distribution. There is no file "disdvi.o" and no make rule to...

try this: make disdvi then make all -alex.

I presume you've downloaded the source code of some piece of software, decompressed and untaredit, and have cd'd into the source directory. If you have not done that yet, start there. That aside, "./configure" does not refer to a command, meaning an executable program installed on your system...

The short answer is that, altivec aside, a new 1GHz+ G4 is going to blow the doors off your lombard. As long as your windows app isn't doing anything crazy like 3D graphics, it should run pretty well (not blazing, but decent), like maybe a 1-1.5GHz PIII machine (at least). It sounds like it's...

So here's a new one: there's plenty of info around on configuring OSX as an NIS client.... What about setting it up as an NIS server? Has anyone tried this? Is it possible? Thanks in advance! -alex

Well, the tradeoff seems to be money for time (isn't that always the way?). This won't do anything that fink can't do, but you won't have to wait for anything to build. OTOH, this is a one time shot. When new versions of the software are released, it's not clear that they will provide updates in...

There are a few ways you could go about this. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, so I'll give some general options: -Use Netinfo Manager to edit existing OSX users to match the user info on the Solaris box. Note that you will not be able to copy the password field unless both...

I don't have any of this hardware, but: From my experience with LinkSys, the latest firmware is always a good idea. Beyond that, check the router's web interface and make sure that the 802.11b (Airport, WiFi) is enabled and routing to the internet, as this may or may not be the default...

6098, 19:08:35:07, 30.98GB Th vast majority of my tracks are ripped from ~600 CDs (I still have ~200 to go) but there's a measurable number of downloads and such in there as well. Combined with an AudioTron this makes for the best music solution I've found so far. (Trying to find something to...

Without a question, my AudioTron. This thing has totally changed my music listening habbits. All 800+ of my CDs are now instantly accessable, either song by song, or via what I like to call "super-mega-random." Sleek, stylish, convenient, and sounds friggin great on my stereo rig. -alex.
