I'm definately NOT the one to ask (I myself ask UNIX Qs all the time!) but I will say this; in short: NO! Enabling root can be a security problem even when you are NOT logged in as root. The REAL security issue that experts talk about when referring to the root issue is not the "oops, I...

"If I have to turn around one more time, I'm gonna lock you in the basement for two weeks longer than last time. And this time I won't cook the rat before I make you eat it." ahh... childhood memories. Don't you all look fondly on your childhood? I remember this one time when my old man...

Am I missing something? I own Toast Titanium 5 on CD and have updated it in the past. BEFORE the update suite package that you were referring to I already had version 5.1.2 of Toast, 1.5.1 of Spin Doctor, etc. It seems that the only app that seemed to be NEW is a carbonized version of Magic...

Well, QueueSync X  -  1.4.0b6 is nice and I like to see independent developers try to fill the void, but ... it is NOT a solution. It is buggy (although the author is working on it :) and does not hotsync precisely the way the official conduit will likely be (for example, it doesn't handle...

Watch Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing, deliver the kick-off keynote address at the 3rd annual QuickTime Live conference in Beverly Hills, CA. See the video-on-demand rebroadcast right here exclusively in QuickTime...

I loved it too! I was trying to figure out (in that exact moment) what the iMac was going to "do" once the guy stuck his tongue out -- clever!!:D Also, check this out ... http://www.apple.com/hardware/ads/newimac.html

No disagreement here.

FROM MACFIXIT.COM com.apple.internetconfig.plist bug: settings changes lost Brad Oliver describes this bug in InternetConfig in Mac OS X 10.1.3 (we confirmed it): 1. Launch MS Entourage (perhaps any Internet app will do). 2. Launch Internet Explorer 3. Change some of the auto-fill...

I agree. Apple is hypocritical. They want to project the illusion of simplicity and ease of use regarding Apple Macintosh OS X (as their longivity depends on it!). And in many ways it IS easy, simple, elegant, and fast. (I DO love it). ... but ... Apple also creates many instances that...

TestUser: Thank you soo much. Your comments were perfect in helping me along the way to troubleshooting. I have subsequently fixed my Library permissions problems that were blocking some third-party apps from being able to be installed properly (basically, Adobe goofed on its...

Thanks for the info.... So are you saying that it should be: Owner: R W X Group: R - X Everyone: R - X What is the OWNER of Applications Folder? What is the GROUP of Applications Folder? Should I change ALL subfolders to the same? Is it by chance, Owner: System (root); Group...

In other words, I have two users on one of my OS X boot partitions which belong to the same Group (staff). One of these users is an administrator (me), and the other isn't. My goal is to give the NON-admin user the right to READ and access all of my apps but not be able to delete/modify them...

I actually have a similar permissions question: I have been using my permissions as set by me for so long now that I forgot how they used to be. Can someone please tell me the DEFAULT settings for all applications which reside in the Applications folder (including those apps and FOLDERS in...

Regarding Illustrator, true enough (but AfterEffects is hardly a blockbuster product). But I want my MTV, I mean GoLive (and PhotoShop --- which is NOT shipping until late Spring, so I would hardly call it "available" (a reference to MacWorld Magazine, Apple, and Adobe who all seem to act like...

Anyone know where, when, why, what (the heck is going on)???? Microsoft, what are you doing??? Palm, what are you doing??? I no longer buy the B.S. finger-pointing of "Palm didn't release their Developer Kit yet" but I also don't buy Palm's "Try our beta, final release coming soon" crap...

Yeah, I actually booted up into OS 9 and deleted the files and rebooted into OS X. All is well at the moment; time will tell ....

I bought it for my girlfriend recently but haven't used it yet. (I use an accountant). When we do, I'll let ya know ...

Yeah, I eventually noticed that when I took a closer look in a WYSIWYG menu yesterday; but thank you for educating me nonetheless. I actually like learning differences between character sets -- like cyrilic etc (spelling), Hebrew, Arabic, etc.

They appear in font viewer utilities and get in the way -- its like webdings and dingbats only worse 'cuz I have no use for 'em.

There's always DragThing ...
