  • HMUG (Huntsville Macintosh User Group) has the man pages on the web. http://www.hmug.org/man/ I find that is easier to browse different commands then going to /usr/bin, entering ls, and using man to figure out what this "qdiv" is.

  • Unix for Dummies is a great book, but not Mac specific. Unix for Mac OS X though is most likely the best book I've read for someone wanting to move from Aqua to messing with the terminal. It is by Matisse Enzer and published by Peachpit Press.

  • If its accessing the hard drive so much, wouldn't this be a really bad idea for notebook users, who when this was announced was pitched at? Accessing the hard drive so often will just kill the battery very fast.

  • Well we know that they won't be moving over in the next 5 years at least. But I believe Marklar will always be around in order to keep a backup plan (and to help with debugging purposes).

  • Yes, it is known. Mac OS X has always only checked the first 8 characters. Is it serious? I don't know. Someone else here can answer that better then I can.

  • Look for the report a bug... It should be under one of the menus. I know I still have the bug button on my toolbar so I never paid much attention to the menus.

  • I'm still using Proteus and have not recieved any messages from Microsoft saying that I need to downgrade. I know Fire users have recieved such messages. And with Proteus's IM handling open source, a fix should be coming soon.

  • For Warez, BT isn't that great as it holds no anonymity (sp?) like in programs like Kazzaa or other mainstream warez. BT was designed to assist with large downloads, like say the new Panther build. Apple could have posted a torrent, and what happ…
