Hmm, looks like a limitation of the basic Unix file permissions system. Directory permissions: r - list files (ls) w - add files x - access files Now, you'd think setting it to -w- would be sufficient, but without -wx, you can't actually create files in the directory for some reason...

Beats me, but I definitely notice it in more than just Safari, and for some reason it only does it here on campus. Perhaps the other browsers are automatically retrying the DNS lookup or something.

I'm suspecting it's not specifically Safari's fault. Why is that? Well, xchat (IRC client) will do the same thing. It'll fail to find the server, and cycle through the list until one of them works (usually after 2 or 3 attempts at most). So I'm pointing the blame at either the DNS server being...

WindowServer is the actual window manager that handles windows on screen. Don't kill it, in other words. Heh. And if you're wondering what started python, use this command: "ps -axw" See if you can find any python related commands running.

Nope. You can put your main() method wherever the heck you please. Just make sure that if you put it somewhere other than the default (ProjectName.java), edit the Manifest file so the java runtime knows where to look for it.

I'd suspect the DNS server. That happens quite a bit on my college campus, but never at home. Unfortunately, the DNS server issues are largely out of our control.

Ah, that's an easy fix. That error message means it can't find the main() method in the specified startup class. See that Manifest file in the project? Edit that. Change the Main-class definition to the name of the class that actually has the main() method in it (in this case, GameLauncher)...

See? I told you it was a dumb problem. ;-) That worked fine. Thanks.

Yes, but they're pretty much identical to yours. Ha ha.

http://store.apple.com Go go go! ;-)

So I've got some really simple source code that does some basic DES related stuff, and it (obviously) uses libdes. However, attempting to compile with -ldes gives "ld: can't locate file for: -ldes". If I just specify "/usr/lib/libdes425.dylib" as another argument, it builds and runs okay. Of...

It's actually quite easy. Add this option to ls: --color=always Otherwise it'll detect that it's sending output to a pipe rather than a terminal and deactivate printing of color escape codes.

Maybe a silly question, but have you tried the ol' PRAM zap? That's usually the first thing I try when a drive stops being recognized for whatever reason.

To avoid using sudo every time, you can just enable the setuid bit on the application. Do this carefully though, because it means anybody who runs the program is running it with root permissions. Okay, here's what you do: (most of it from the Terminal) 1. First, set the owner of the...

Alright, I just went over to IT, had them refresh my address entry in the access control lists, and by the time I got back to my apartment, it had re-propogated, and now it works. Weird. I guess their custom app for updating access lists across multiple access points simultaneously has a few...

Okay. Now this is just weird. I just walked over to the student center to try it there. Lo and behold... http://www2.gvsu.edu/~brittedg/AirportGraphGood.pdf Worked beautifully there. Now, normally I'd suspect some kind of incompatibility between my card and whatever access point the...

Believe me, I got all the updates as soon as I had this computer set up. I tried rolling back to the older driver just for kicks, but it wouldn't let me install it over the newer version. Blah. If you want to see what the signal looks like, here's what Airport Client Monitor graphs...

This beats the hell out of me. I just got my new iBook yesterday, and I'm trying to use it here on the campus network with Airport Extreme, and every three seconds, the link status cycles between up and down. The signal is perfectly fine - 3 bars steady (when it's actually up). And my old iBook...

Well, the buddy icons are possibly stored locally in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iChat.pictures (though this may just be for caching pictures sent in the chats). You could always try cleaning out this directory. Also try forcing a different static image for that particular buddy. I think you...

Trust me, I've collected hours of scientific data from playing NES emulators during dull lectures. ;-) I notice a fair difference on my machine, anyway.
