  • Well all I know is that my system has been rock-solid since I bought it in March, and since installing Panther a little over 48 hours ago, I'm having nothing but problems. Preferences randomly getting hosed for a variety of applications (notably Fin…
  • Quote: Originally posted by shetline Is it possible that .dmg files have somehow become associated with QuickTime or some other media player? Perhaps you can try explicitly opening and mounting one of these files with Disk Utility as see what hap…

  • One of my problems right now (mentioned in the Software forum) is that everytime I start up X now, it opens windows on my "other" monitor (I'm running multi-monitor from my PB). Now I could always drag windows from one monitor or the next, but my xt…
  • Either that update, or the Filevault reorginizing thing totally screwed me. Wiped out my Mail (lost all my settings and some of my mail), lost all of my Finder settings, lost all of my System Preference settings, still looking to see if anything els…
  • Okay, if you insist on making me ask: How? It don't see an option in the Preferences nor anyway of passing an argument (i.e. command line argument -multiscreen).

  • OUCH! I just looked at GoLive; $399!!! I'm sure it's totally worth it to professional web wizards, but I just wanted something for my personal use. Basically I'm trying to create a "scrapbook" of HTML pages that I can quickly "page through". GoLive …

  • Quote: Originally posted by Spyky Clock speed is only useful when comparing chips from the same exact family, P4s or Athlons or G5s are all different families, and their clocks speeds are not comparable. -Spyky That I actually do know,…
  • A PC friend sent me that link yesterday, this is what I had to say (of course, I'm no expert, this is just my opinion): Well it goes without saying that all tests are biased, and I certainly wouldn't conclude that one chip is better than the othe…
  • Since it's all pretty much new to you, go for Obj-C. That is the current focus for Apple (although that could change in the future, depends on developer adoption, if most developers stick with C/C++ and the Carbon libs, then things could change). Go…
  • Thanks for the replies! I'll keep my eye out on the mail. When is the next monthly mailing? I imagine it will be in that rather than a special mailing.
  • The answer appears to be "yes and no". "Yes" if you got money to spend, or you're willing to use Perl as your script code "No" if you don't like those two options. Here are some links: Here is the free module for Perl Taken from the FAQ of t…
  • $100 is overpriced for what the service offers. I wouldn't be paying it except my wife loves how easy it is to post pictures from iPhoto to Homepage. I just hope Apple adds something I find more worthwhile for my money...
