Sure do... Nothing wakes you up in the morning like some cartoons. My favorite at the moment is Penny Arcade. For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's about 2 video-game obsessed kids. Pure gold-dust -- go kill an hour reading through their archive now. After that, I still can't get up...

Update: This works, but I have *no* idea why! ./configure --with-apxs --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/php/ There seems to be a libxml2.2.6.0 in there, where it came from I don't know... I thought Panther only came with libxml2.2.5.4, which isn't high enough. If someone with Panther can...

Hi there gurus, I'm trying to compile PHP 5 (beta 2), for my general enlightenment and the goodness of my soul. I have got it working fine without XML, but this means I must lose all the best extensions that rely on XML (simpleXML, WDDX, PEAR - I can't live without them!) So I've installed...

Sorry, I wasn't clear on the details of the hardware - the modem is a USB modem which requires drivers installed on the PC. The only way of getting the modem connected to the macs is: Modem -> Windows PC -> NETGEAR Router -> Macs...

Hi guys, your help on this would be appreciated. I'm setting up a house network, and need wireless access for my Macs. OK, here's the setup: The room with the ADSL connection has a PC with XP (sorry;) connected to the net by a standard ADSL modem, and a combined router and 802.11b...

if you can read 100,000 lines of plain text then you're a legend ;o) I suppose there are some versions of the perl man pages on the web which have had their formatting sorted out, but I prefer a hard copy. It may interest y'all to know that my quest to learn perl, I've been so...

Ta, I'll check it out Bernie :o)

Hello, I figured this was the best forum to post this in... I'm already OK at programming - i.e. I know what all the control structures do, know what recursive functions are, and eat PHP for breakfast (it's actually rather nice on toast). I hate all the basics being re-explained to me at...

Ta Michael, much appreciated Ah, you'll be looking at in a web browser. It's a text quine, so you have to look at it in source mode (or run command line PHP), because the web browser interprets < and > as HTML tags, so doesn't render the contents. I was going to make it render propery...

I'm tragicly forlorne... Here I am coming back from the pub after a few swift beers looking for some checksumming action, and they've removed the command in 10.2! How do I checksum files in 10.2? ta Bernie :0) (in a mildly drunken state)

aah - resource forks... Thanks, I consider my curiosity sated Ta bernie :o)

How bizarre... Well that answers my question about how to do anything with them (thanks), but does anyone know how they work on a filesystem level? It just seems bizarre that they appear to be blank files (i.e. when you open them in a text editor there's nothing there), so I'm guessing...

Aah, back to MacOSX.com after a year away - who else could answer this one? Not a stupid newbie question this one - .textClippings: what, are they? They don't appear to be like normal files. Try this - create one on your desktop by dragging text from Safari, and open it in a text editor...

Cheers for the advice - I've had a snoop round based on what y'all suggested and decided to go for Demon. Bernie :o)

Hi mac nutters... Do any of you know a good ISP for OS X in the UK? I believe AOL (who don't really fit into the category of a good ISP anyway) have stopped suporting OS X, or are dragging their feet for too long, so I must find another. Bernie :o)

Strange bug this one. I recently had some trouble with my computer (10.1.5 upgrade killed it), so I reformatted the OSX partition and reinstalled 10.1. Now when I try to create a new user, I get no response - the "Create new user" button in the users panel of System Prefs appears to be...

I used to think duct tape was called duck tape. They sound the same, and It makes sense, because its a tape that is waterproof. I still think I'm right actually - the majority is always in the wrong. Bernie :o)

Probably not. Sorry, I didn't mean personal offence, I was just in a really bad mood when I wrote that post. Deep breath... it's passed now. It was way over the top, and I'll go edit it now. Sorry. Bernie :o)

// edit - removed some libellous comments about mudvayne fans... Replacement answer - approximately 500,000 (at a guess) How much wood would a woodchuck chuck? Bernie :o)

Not much, at least this isn't one of those attachment based threads. How fast can you down a pint of beer? BTW Paragon - it's been a long time since I did my GCSE physics, but I thought one Kilogram excerted a force of 'g' newtons, g being 9.81. 1000/g = 101.9368, i.e. just over a hundred...
