is an unfortunate choice of names for an operating system.

I have a LAN with a linux machine acting as a router connecting to a DSL modem. I've connected an airport express basestation to a hub on the LAN and have been happily using my powerbook wirelessly. Now, mein girlfreund wants to connect her windows laptop wirelessly using a linksys wireless-g...

So far I've wanted to use spotlight on a few occasions. Every time I'm looking for something like a jar file etc. The result is just the name of the file... what do I do now? I can't click on it or it tries to execute the jar file. Is there a way to open finder at the location of the file or...

I haven't had to deal with this for a while, so maybe I'm forgetting something. I can't see dot files in the finder (or more importanly, I can't select them in file open dialog boxes), after upgrading to 10.4. There is no such default anymore: com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles. How can I show...

Thanks! I had to remove the intellipoint software, even thought I had disabled it for blender, before I could get it to work, but it works well.

I'm trying to use my external trackball mouse to send a middle mouse button click to blender, but the intellipoint software doesn't offer an assignment for middle mouse button. Do you know of a way to get the the scroll wheel button to generates a middle mouse button click, or to get blender to...

Hmm. It's just a subtle difference apparently. I'm able to drag now after tapping more softly.

I have trouble dragging things with the mouse using sidetrack. I have the trackpad button assigned to be the 2nd mouse button, and my trackpad to be left-click drag lock. Some windows I can use the trackpad button to click and then drag by moving my finger across the trackpad. I also I read...

Wow! This seems to work well so far. It seems be the solution. In addition to being able to right-click, I can set the button to be right-click, so I can left click on the track pad and not have to tap so hard to left-click. I was getting seriously fatigued both with having to use 2 hands all...

Emacs is a great editor. There are a couple of carbonized versions available. In emacs you can use the grep function like so: ESC-x grep change the command to grep -r 'some string' .

I spent a lot of time figuring out what notebook computer I would buy. The main negative for the powerbook was the one button mouse. I finally convinced myself that powerbook would be a good buy, and I'm badly hurting from the one button mouse. There is this new thing called the internet and...

Ooh, tombraider III seems to work nicely in classic though. At 1440x900 the screen is stretched making Lara appear... healthier.

As far as I can tell, HotApp doesn't actually look like it will do what I want, because it's not an application that I want to launch, it is a keystroke that I want to generate. See, I use X11, remote desktop to windows and citrix and vnc to windows and unix boxes. When I use applications that...

... I totally like said that I did.

I'm trying again in a different forum. Is there a way that I can have it so that when I press the keys F1 - F12, applications will recieve the corresponding F1 - F12 keystroke, rather than the powerbook's brightness being adjusted etc.? My powerbook manuals says I need to hold down fn + the...

I prefer psgml mode in emacs to any of the icky gui IDEs that I have seen. It doesn't have any schema support though. nxml mode for emacs has RelaxNG schema support, but it doesn't automatically insert tags, you have to start typing and complete. But I rarely encounter people that aren't...

I want numerous applications some of which I use now, and others which I don't know of yet, that I will probably use in the future on X11, macos X, remote desktop, VNC and citrix, to be able to recieve the keystrokes F1-F12 when I press them, identically to how they would recieve them on various...

No, it's not just F10. It's all the function keys. That just happens to be the key stroke that I need to generate. Incidentally, I tried installing fnSwitch last night and it didn't allow me to get the function key keystrokes, and oddly if I press Fn+Opt+F10 say, it brings up System...

I was actually trying to get at how to produce the F1-F12 keystrokes. I thought I had tried this before, but apparently not. With "Use F1-F12 for custo actions" unchecked, to get F10 I have to hold down FN+Option+F10... I would really prefer to only have to press F10 to get F10. If I check...

F10 = change brightness Fn + F10 = "a brightness icon displays on the screen with an international don't symbol". My experience with my new powerbook doesn't match what I've read on this forum. I finally dug out the manual I got with the powerbook and it just says to hold down Fn while...
