  • [quote]Cocoa is faster because it's more efficient in its delegation model, you cretin. I tend to be of this school. If you have to load shared libraries, sure that's an overhead. but once those libs have been loaded, they remain in ram, so the …

  • does OSX use /etc/fstab ? if so, make sure his home is mounted at the proper place, and there are not two home folders competing for the same mount point. If OSX uses /etc/fstab (ie: does this file exist?), get him to get you to post it here, so…

  • The 8 character thing is kinda ghey (gei?), as already mentioned. Every Unix-like system, after all, has one user in common: the super-user. So I know your system can be logged into as 'root', and with a Max of 8 chars in your password, bruteforce m…
    in One Hell Of A Bug In OS X 10.2...How Could They Miss This? Comment by stimuli September 2002
  • ROTFL!!! Go to google.com and search for 'google sherlock plugin mac' Check the links and download one....

  • Don't expect X to be 'snappy' either, as last I checked it is not hardware-accelerated on OSX.
    in X11 Apps? Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • Well, what the hell, just ln -s .cshrc .tcshrc and you'll know for sure you've got a viable rc file. No restart necessary really. Maybe Eugene knows some command to merge the new .tcshrc w/ whatever is in RAM?
    in .tcshrc Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • A Lucky guess is that that is the file you are looking for. Try it; if on reboot those aliases you added to it don't work, then you know it's not the rc file you are looking for. If that's the case, type: ln -s .cshrc .tcshrc And your problem …

  • Your welcome. Make sure you peep the edit in my above post.

  • In your home directory. ls -al ~/ will show all your files, in 'long' format. In fact, you might want to add: alias ls='ls -s -F -T 0 -b -H -1 -C --color=auto' alias fmake='./configure && make && sudo make install &&…

  • I don't get your plan, J-Dawg. Are you going to hand out free CD-Rs, then install jaguar, and use the titanium balls as those chinese-hand-marble things (OMFG gross mental Picture!) while it installs? Spit it out, dude.
    in Many of us need to pay full price for Jaguar >:^( Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • Yeah, that's due to 'context switching' in L2 cache/ processor as well as hard disk seeking/loading. Multitasking isn't faster (in fact it's usually slower) it's just that a multi-tasking system is more responsive to a human (to a point). [ 07…
    in Adding Programs to OSX Startup Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • A couple of things, and these took me a while to figure out and learn: Control-C kills an app. So let's say you are surfing the web in w3m, and it stalls while loading a page. Control-C, and you are back in the terminal, ready to give another she…
    in What command lines do you use, and what are they for? Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • Hey Eug, how is gcc 3.1? Last I checked Gcc 3 was an evil bitch goddess. Does compile successfully in comparison to GCC 2.9x? BTW, dude who started this thread, I suggest reinstalling the latest dev tools. You don't seem to have awk/mawk, and c c…
    in ./configure not working Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • Have you checked the README, BUILD, INSTALL, etc files that are in there w/ the source code? What do they say?
    in ./configure not working Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • You don't have the developer tools installed. Download them off of Apple's web site, install them, try again.

  • Have one machine perma-connected to the LAN, as a proxy server, and then have all the other computers connect to it for their IP addresses (DHCP). Just be sure to add the proxy's address in your web browser preferences. With this setup, you can a…
    in Can you connect to PPPoE and Network at the same time? Comment by stimuli June 2002
  • Dude, your system has to seriously be maxxed out (ie horribly crashed in endless, CPU hogging loop) to not respond immediately to mouse clicks. That's hardly a problem in my experience. Unless of course X crashes
    in Should Apple include X11 with Mac OS X? Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • [quote]Count me as the first person to point out that if you throw enough hardware at any performance problem you will eventually overcome it. The guy said he was using a pentium 2 300mhz... or is that what the smily was for? Bloated? Sure. Bu…
    in Should Apple include X11 with Mac OS X? Comment by stimuli July 2002
  • Bingo. Moreover, you homegirls have to realize that X11 isn't slow. It's very fast, as I know because I'm in linux/PPC right now. The reason it is slow in OSX is because X11 isn't doing hardware rendering, but instead software rendering. Apple could…
