1. No, there's no automatic garbage collection in Cocoa. 2. That's true, there's no built-in regex, but there are a few third party frameworks you can add to your application if you need it. 3. Obj-C is a subset of C. There's also Obj-C++. You can use regular C or C++ calls in Cocoa...

If you really want to go all out, you can mount a partition at /var/log. :p There's not any way to limit the file size, unfortunately. Oh, and some people have gotten Safari to be a bit snappier by deleting the favicon cache every once in a while. They're all held in a bunch of folders in...

Yeah, that'll change it.

named.conf is pretty easy to configure. Though I have been using it for the past 5 or 6 years, so maybe it just seems that way to me. ;) I don't know if redhat-bind-config will work, but you can always try getting the source and compiling it. Err, and if you have something you're...

Err, how is that questionable? It's just telling you if you hit reboot, you can't change your mind.

If you're not connecting to Windows machines or letting them connect with Samba, go into the Sharing preference pane and deselect "Windows Sharing" - that'll stop the messages.

Hmm, network shares should work, as long as the path is valid. Are you using Cocoa at all? Or just straight C/Carbon calls? If you're using Cocoa, you can use FSRefMakePath(), then copy the returned char string to an NSString, and use [string fileSystemRepresentation] - that'll correctly...

/etc - for both questions.

Hmm, try launching Console (Applications -> Utilities -> Console) and look at the system.log and see if there are any errors being reported.

Sure, no problem. A little addendum to the above: if code wasn't compiled on the same processor and operating system as you are using, it won't run. For example, something compiled on RedHat for the x86 processor won't run on RedHat for the PPC processor. That sort of thing.

Probably some preference files got corrupted when the system crashed. Go to your Preferences folder (Home -> Library -> Preferences) and move these files somewhere else (you can delete them if you want, but if they turn out not to be the problem, you can move them back if you don't)...

Hit that "Go Advanced" button... you can figure out from there. ;)

The dmg file is probably corrupt. Get him to send it to you again.

What does the output look like?

Don't you love it when you find out you had the answer all along? :D

Just curious. ;)

Something (the iShock driver, I suppose) is spewing out errors to your system log. If you open up Console (/Applications/Utilities/Console), you can read whatever's in the system.log. You'll probably see something logging an error in intervals of less than a second apart - probably the same...

Look at /Library/Receipts, and see if you have a package there named BSD.pkg.

Sometimes it just takes a while to propagate through the system. Hmm, or maybe there's some sort of firewall issue at your work place that's interfering with Software Update.

Hmm, try checking the permissions on the /tmp/mount directory. They're probably fine, but you can get this error when trying to mount a device to a directory you don't have permissions for. Other than that, try reading mount_nfs's man page, and try out some of the options there if they look...
