    Panther networking, automount, frozen Finder

    My work has a few network volumes that I use frequently. After installing Panther, I noticed that if I shutdown/restarted with any network volume mounted, it would try to automount during the start up process. The problem I'm about to describe happens to multiple OS X machines at work AND to...

    precise content filtering

    i'm talking about simple browsing. not a page i have control over. right now, i have a css script that gets rid of the ads on most pages i visit. i'd also like to be able to filter out specific news items form popular newsites. hence my curiosity regarding the strength of css.

    precise content filtering

    with css and safari, you can create a file which targets and eliminates specific chunks of data, like images of a certain size, images from a certain destination, etc. my question is this, can you have an entire table removed if it contains a specific word phrase?

    porting x11/linux app to OS X

    This might be the code that indicates which libraries are being called: HOST := $(shell uname) MACHINE := $(shell uname -m) LIBS = -lm -lX11 -lpthread MACHINECFLAGS = ifeq ("$(MACHINE)","x86_64") LDFLAGS = -g2 -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 MACHINECFLAGS = -DCPU_THREADS else LDFLAGS = -g2...

    porting x11/linux app to OS X

    Hi, I'm completely ignorant about porting, programming, compiling and anything else that involves smartness with computers. :) That said, how hard is it to port an x11 or linux app to Cocoa or Carbon or whatever is best for native OS X execution. Assume that the code is really really...

    "Go To" Hell

    Here's what's going on. The path (unless you're logged in as root) starts with ~. The cool thing is that you can type "~/Do" then press the "tab" button on your keyboard and it will fill in the rest "~/Documents/"

    ssh tunneling and classic

    I have a terminal-like client I want to use in classic. For specific reasons, I have to use this client and not any OS X native variant. Basically I want to tunnel a remote ip to my localhost in OS X, then sign on to my localhost. I'm open to using any port available, but I'd prefer to keep it...

    ssh tunneling and classic

    I found an old thread (2001) that said that OS X doesn't open its ports to classic. That seems wrong, but I'm not sure. Is there something I need to enable in classic or some command I can use in terminal to bridge the gap?

    Blurry text

    LCD's have only one resolution in which everything looks crisp. Lower or higher resolutions are going to make the entire screen fuzzy. If more than the font is fuzzy for you, try changing the resolution a couple of times. See if the cleans it up.

    Quark screen refresh hints?

    you can also turn guides on/off. I have my middle mouse button (scroll wheel button) set to do that. 2 clicks and no arm movement, voila!

    Creative use of the .css user Style Sheet

    Ya. I've gotten it to work partially. I think it really amounts to the support Safari has for .css.

    Creative use of the .css user Style Sheet

    I read somewhere that the same scripts that work in the Chimera userContent.css will work if you place them in the Safari .css script you use (assuming you've created one). I've tried the scripts that I found at this site: http://207.44.210.206/article.php?story=20021127061854547 but they...

    Sharing iTunes files via iCommune

    Well, I actually couldn't find the local URL until I removed that second period. So something odd is happening. I've also been successful going one way. But for whatever reason, I cannot get my powerbook to transmit. That tip about the index.html is most excellent.

    Sharing iTunes files via iCommune

    Some observations: 1) sometimes you have to click, then move the mouse to get the fields selected when trying to add a URL to the list 2) using rendevous, the actual URL that your machine publishes on is displayed after you turn music sharing on. BUT, the address contains an extra "." that...
