I think the idea of Carrafix is awesome, and I'm curious, from a "Darwin underpinning" as the author purts it, how the data packets have a pause applied to them? He explains that the upload speed of the local server can be reduced by applying a pause to the outgoing data packets (on a...

I was wondering if there was any simple utility, either graphical or Darwin, to strip HTML tags from an HTML (i.e., plaintext) file? A perl utility would be best, since I do a lot of work remotely on the terminal. TIA :p

I have thousands (no joke) of text files I need concatenated into a single file. They are all separated into hundreds of little sub-folders, and some in 2-3 levels deeper. The folder names and file names are all alphabetically sorted. Is there any analogy to rm -r {directory_name} for cat...

Like I said, can one burn CDs from the Terminal? I suppose it will be a third-party application somewhere? Just wondering what's good, if it's even possible at all. TIA!:p

I was thinking of getting one, and being a poor student, I need to figure out if it's worth it. What are your views and feelings on the iPod (I'd get the 5 GB model, it's all I can reasonably afford :)) TIA

Is anyone else having problems with the download link here: http://www.versiontracker.com/php/dlpage.php?id=13212&kind=1&db=mac I get the status bar message in IE 5.2 "Connecting..." -- "Requesting File (url)" (repeat ridiculously fast 3 times) then just fails. I also can't visit the...

Is there a way I can set media: 100BaseT full-duplex? I've got a little Nortel Networks ADSL adapter (model unknown) which may not support full-duplex; but if it does, would I have to configure this manually, or would my ethernet adapter determine automatically (and correctly) what my ADSL...

I was wondering if it's possible to put a ceiling on the amount of bandwidth my OS X (client version 10.1.5). I can't really find any keys appropriately named in httpd.conf Basically I don't want the outgoing connectiong to ruin my download speeds (on my little ADSL). Thanks!

Hi, You might be able to help, don't get scared away by the music equipment :) I've got the following recording setup: - Bass guitar - Boss GT-6B (effects processor with analogue outputs) - Bass Amp (Kustom 10W) - Griffin iMic (Analogue-USB converter) - Studio headphones * Bass...

I heard a rumor that there is a patch for UT to let it run natively in OS X. Does such a patch exist? Secondly, I have no classic installed, and therefor can not install UT on my TFT. Do I have to install Classic for this to work at all? TIA

I noticed in my local Apple retailer, a plug that I think was called the Apple Display Adaptor. You plugged one end into the Apple Display Connector, and at the other end of the 10 inch cord is a box with an RCA and S-Video jack. My question: is this composite RCA, or can I just hook a...

I was just looking around VersionTrackerX and came across this cool little free dockling/app. It fetches weather for you, and displays it in the dock as well as a transparent window, for basically any city in the ICAO database, which is most cities on Earth. Good, since I'm in Canada and wasn't...

I'm trying to figure out how much power my iMac TFT draws when the system is awake, when the screen is dead, when the HD is dead, and when the system is sleeping. Does anyone know either percentages of max draw (e.g., Sleep draws x% of the power of an alive machine) or real values for this...

Does the wireless Palm.net service work in metropolitan areas in Canada? So far, this device hasn't even made it into stores here, and there's no coverage map on their web site (that I can find).

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this: I can't login to MSN using version 3.0 X anymore. It just times out. Same thing for my friend's house, but all the Windows XP version I have, on my LAN, work just fine. Did Microsoft ban us? I couldn't find anything in the archives for the...

I thought that the little iTunes icon that appeared when the track info was displayed in the visualizer was cool. It looks unnatural not to have it there... I had a qucik look through "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and can't find anything I want to touch. Does anyone know if there's a way to get...

Which one would you go with and why? We're talking about the new McAffee Virex released with .Mac versus the newest 7.0.1 version of Symantec Norton Anti-Virus.

I'm sure I saw it somewhere but i just can't find it! I need to set Mail.app to be the default mail handler, since Outlook X took over that, I'd like to revert but can't find that anywhere. Thanks, forgive my idiocy :p

For some reason, the latest version of Palm Desktop (and it's been the latest for a long time--no recent updates) always launches Classic whenever I open it. What's the deal? Can I stop this?

Took 'em long enough! :rolleyes: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/realoneplayerx.html
