  • Well, the fact that every other unix out there has X11 is a pretty powerful incentive for Apple to include it. Right now X sucks on OSX because it is an after-thought implemented by third parties. You'll never play Tux Racer w/ an attitude like t…
    in Should Apple include X11 with Mac OS X? Comment by stimuli June 2002
  • Yes! Apple should make it 'default install' and put some work into it so it integrates w/ OSX nicely.

  • No, only mirroring is possible. Thus you are stuck w/ the iMac's resolutions.

  • open a term and type: killall itunes or something like that. Use 'top' to see what itunes threads are called.

  • Well, like I give a rat's ass whether it's for legal purposes or not. AFA tunneling traffic, you need a machine outside that can redirect traffic to the host/port required. Basically, you need to hack either a ISP's switch or a remote machine.…
    in OS X breaking-through a firewall? Comment by stimuli June 2002
  • Edit: Are you trying to sneak through your school's LAN, or just trying to download carracho stuff from home, and your personal FW is blocking it? [ 06-10-2002: Message edited by: stimuli ]
    in OS X breaking-through a firewall? Comment by stimuli June 2002
  • I whole-heartedly agree w/ the above post. Tabs are the she-at. Esp. opening them in the background, while still reading the current page, esp. when you can open a folder of links in one click. Web browsing has never been better, IMHO.
    in what is your favorite browser in OsX?? Comment by stimuli June 2002
  • Assuming Chimera uses Mozilla's .html format, look in /home/you/.mozilla/you/something.obscure/bookmarks.html note the period in front of /.mozilla/ Hope this helps!
    in what is your favorite browser in OsX?? Comment by stimuli June 2002
  • Someone w/ the OSX dev tools could compile just Mozilla, w/out email, composer, chat, etc. I think Mozilla by itself is in the neighborhood of 9MB compressed, so that same someone could put it on their iDisk for others as well. It would take a lo…
    in what is your favorite browser in OsX?? Comment by stimuli June 2002
  • I'm using Mozilla 1.0 right now, but 99% of the time I use Galeon, which is like a finished Chimera for linux. It uses 'native' GTK widgets instead of Mozilla's crufty custom GUIs, is very well threaded, has supported tabbed browsing longer than oth…

  • First: This article is weak. Nostradamus pointed out that the author needs to research a little. Second, to combat the anti-FUD, linux isn't that hard, the kernel does not resist change (it changes very rapidly, IMHO), and it isn't inherently ins…

  • In linux, there's a file in your home directory called .xinitrc The last line of it says 'exec something' where something is your window manager, ie sawfish or blackbox or whatnot. here's mine: #!/bin/sh # $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/…

  • Hey SFX: That's actually the config for xfs, the X font server. Maybe try searching for XF86 or Config or something. It should look somewhat like

  • Hey SFX: Any luck finding XF86Config? You can dump it's contents into this thread if need be.

  • Hey Starfleet: Could you send me a copy of your XF86Config ? On most *nix systems it's in /etc/X11/ I wanna see if you XDarwin cats have hardware acceleration turned on. I've heard a couple times that X11 is 'slow' compared to Quartz. However,…

  • Ask Starfleet, but my educated guess is that the sound-out program, ie ESound or OSS on linux, isn't present on Mac OSX. Ask SFX how he got it working. Xmms is good stuff; while certainly on the fugly side of aesthetics, it uses ~12% CPU on my 29…

  • lot's of pervasive threading in all apps (finder, et al) would make the system more 'responsive'. When in linux I have four virtual desktops and apps open on all of them (Gnapster, web browser, file manager, mp3 player, volume, terms, sytem monitor …

  • Darwin's got a monolithic kernel?! I thought it had a mach microkernel, and there was talk of performance trade-offs because of that?
