Does any one know how to get proper ANSI display in the terminal. Even basic ANSI would be fine. What I am talking about - is for example when a script uses the 'dialog' command. I am sure everyone has seen this command in use at some point. Its the command that will draw a pseudo dialog box...

I am playing around a little with the hacked tar called "hfstar" to implement a backup strategy. I noticed in the hfstar help it indicates: I have a vague understanding of POSIX - but don't really know what it is. Can someone give me a brief description of POSIX and how it affects me and my...

Every time I launch a Quicktime movie - the QT player (5.0.2) launches, plays about 2 secs of video, then the video stops and the audio continues, eventually the video starts playing again about 5 secs later. Happens on all movies, all types, etc. Has anyone else seen this problem or know a...

I am using Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) on my internal LAN to maintain 3 other Macs. I am having problems waking the machines from sleep. I read in the docs that in order for this to work you must turn on the "Wake for Administrative Access" in the Energy Saver cp. I have done this as recommended...

Has anyone had any luck compiling IceS, Liveice, or other similar audio streamers to provide a source for Icecast? I am getting lots of errors and unsuccessful compiles. Best bet (least errors) so far is iceS, but I am getting this error when compiling: make all-recursive Making all in...

I have been tweaking my OS X box over the last 2 weeks since I started using it full time and have been experimenting with various apps, etc. My SERVICES menu has become rather crowded with some things I don't really want any more.
