Ok, this is a problem I had on a Linux system/network, but I was wondering how to fix it on either Linux or OSX if there is a different (HFS+?) way: I created a drop-box directory, with the sticky bit set (`chmod 1777 .`). I want other users to be able to put files or entire directories...

I've used fink for a long time, and it has proved to be quite simple (especially if you use FinkCommander, although it's not necessary) and generally stable. The package selection is ever growing and fairly up to date. However, if you need something specific that is not offered with one...

Ok, so I planned to backup a good chuck of my hard drive (OSX.1, HFS+) to a Windows PC, temporarily. First, I sent over all of my mp3 music. This was easy, they're all flat files and I even tried a few test cases to see if they would copy to the PC and back and still play. But now I managed...

I encountered the same spinning beachball thing (coming back from screensaver) a while back. Two things: I got back to the finder eventually, without rebooting. I don't recall exactly what I did, but I think I spent a little while moving the mouse around until the login box popped up (it...
