  • I take it your not using and XServe and XRaid otherwise these questions would be pretty redundant. 1. You can do it without destorying the drive but I would advise to do a backup beforehand. a) open terminal and su - root. b) diskutil list Yo…

  • I don't think cell processors are design for Desktop CPUs? Aren't they more of a vector processor? On a PC you want an allrounder type CPU and not a application specific. Dobby.

  • I think it sucks that developers have to pay $999 for the transition kit! APPLE this should be free! You need as many developers behind your as possible and your pissing around with them. Why should I partially re-write and recompile my code of…

  • open /apps/utils/Terminal.app $ cd / $ du -skc /* (lists directories and their size and gives you the total in KB). $ cd direname (direname being the directory with the larges size.) /System and /Library should be only 2-3GB each. Dobby.

  • Try http://www.pollet.net/GLterm/ I think you can also use tn3720 as well. Terminal is quite okay. Not quite putty but a hell of a lot better than MS terminal. BTW, All terminal app developers, I hate when I highlight something and it goes t…

  • Go to www.memoryx.com and you can check for the correct memory for the correct model of mac. Apple tell you the memory your machine supports so you can my any memory of this spec and it will work. I used a swag of HP pc memory for our G5's as we h…

  • You could try something like $ cd /directory_you_want to start at $ find . -name '*/rsrc' -exec cp /dev/null {} \\; I don't have a mac handy at the moment so you might want to create a dir with a could of test files and try this. If the files …

  • The new XBox 360 is something Apple should have done. It plays music/DVD's,games,XBox live (online chat or something). If I buy a new dvd player, I would buy an xbox 360 as I could play my mp3's as well etc. With Apples iPod and the whole home …
