I'm using 10.3.9, and I wrote a program that needs to access a lot of memory, so I wanted to do ulimit -s unlimited but OS X won't let me. I did a ulimit -H -a and found stack size is hard limit is 64M. I know on Linux, there is a /etc/security/limits.conf file root can edit...

Hello, I'm doing some calculations for my master's thesis, and I think I found a bug in gcc/g++. So can some knowledgeable person tell me whether it is/isn't a bug, and if so, should I report it to Apple? So I boiled the problem down to 2 simple programs, one buggy and the other not...

Hi, one day a long time ago (3 yrs), I was working on Javascript where I really wanted to be able to use Java/C++ style inheritance instead of the built in prototype inheritance, so I came up with a scheme to do this. Now I'm working on some ActionScript in Flash and needed this facility yet...

Last week I finally layed my hockey puck mouse to rest in favor of a Logitech wheel mouse because I downloaded Quake III and hated not having at least 2 buttons and a wheel. As much as I was loathe to get such an unattractive looking mouse (well, not that bad, but ugly compared to one of those...

Okay, I'm not a REAL programmer (I know java, js, you know, fluff languages), but I did read K&R's "C" book way back when. my question is, why are actual UNIX C programs out there so hard to read and compile? i guess it is because of the fact that they were written to compile on like a billion...

I think I'm gonna make a switch to Mozilla from IE. I read about Mozilla in Time today, but was skeptical, because I've used NS6.2 before, and the experience stank. But Time had glowing things to say about Mozilla's speed, and being a non-geek publication, I felt those words had to mean...

Hi. I have a G4 350MHz with OS X 10.1.3, and for some reason, the network connection through my cable modem no longer works. My question is, how does one trouble shoot problems like this? I seem to remember when I ran Linux a long long time ago, there were utilities that checked stuff like...
