There are probably 100 different tools you could use to do it :) If you wanted you could do it with sed, with awk, with perl, tcl, php, c, c++, pascal, basic, lisp, elisp, python, etc etc etc :) Brian

The problem I have with this is the author is an idiot. He has it listed as the worlds first 64bit mobile computer. This is really really far from true. Tadpole has been selling 64bit SPARC laptops for years and years. :) Brian

Except iDVD doesn't work on external DVD burners, just internal. And since he has an iMac, he's kinda SOL :) Brian

Depending on what quality you want, I got a Canon LiDE 20 for $50 that works amazingly well in Panther. The LiDE 30 is around $70 and has a bit more quality. It's 600x1200dpi, not sure how that compares to your old AGFA scanner, or if you're looking for higher end. I just know this little $50...

Any reason why you want to use sed to do this? The best way to do this would most likely be using applescript via osascript. Brian

I vote for the 12" iBook. Buy it stock off the shelf, stick in an AirportExtreme card, and buy 512M of 3rd party memory. $1299 total for it with the card and memory. Thats what I did and I love this little laptop. Brian

You're not supposed to set the DISPLAY on the remote server when you're using ssh. ssh sets it for you automatically. Type "echo $DISPLAY" and you should see something like "localhost:10.0", which is the pseudo entry that ssh uses to tunnel X to your local box. Brian

I have 512M Kingston SODIMMS in both my iBook G4 and my iMac G4 and haven't had a kernel panic on either one. Ofcourse YMMV. Brian

mDNSResponder is used with Rendezous and is used for name discovery/reponses on a network that has other hosts using Rendezous. So, mDNSResponder isn't responsible for your normal DNS stuff. Are you sure now that you're in the DMZ you can access a DNS server? What does 'host www.gnu.org' tell...

I'm just wondering why you're crippling OS X with a PCI video card? You can't use Quartz Extreme with it. If I were you I'd go buy a retail boxed Radeon 9000/9800, stick your two primary screens on that. Then may try a 3rd monitor on your PCI card, but just having it display anything that...

Before you complain, did you open up system preferences and click on the security button? Did you not notice the "Disable automatic login" checkbox? Try unchecking that. Did you tell Mail.app to remember your password? Mail.app always runs without asking me for my password. Brian

By "how many MB/GB of upload/download" do you mean since the computer booted? Brian

I have Virex installed cause it's free for .Mac users :) I wouldn't pay $60 for a virus package tho. Brian

Right now the only way to reliably keep the PB from sleeping when you close the lid is this: http://home.earthlink.net/~mrob/pub/ibook.html which basically involves taping a piece of metal over the magnet that triggers the sensor that tells the PB that the lid is closed and to sleep. The lack of...

Au contraire mon frair (said in a Bart Simpson voice): http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/mac.simpsons@mm.html There are infact quite a few stupid applescript viruses, and also word/excel macro virus's that can effect macs. But not to the extent that they effect windows...

Friends don't let friends run Emacs. :) Brian

Actually somewhere out there, I can't find the line anymore, is a walk-thru on how to modify a graphite g4 to add a 2nd 5.25" drive bay. Ofcourse, it requires extensive use of a dremel ;) Brian

I'll pipe in as another 10.3.3 user with no problems with Toast 6.0.3. Brian

Oh, also forgot that if you want AppleCare, it's $249 for the iBook and $349 for the PB. Brian

Someone asked "why buy AppleCare?" Well, piece of mind for one, but you have to weigh the cost/risk. I spent $1500 on my wifes iMac and paid $170 for AppleCare. So, I paid approx 10% of the cost to replace it if it dies in 3 years. To me that was a no brainer. Now, on my 12" iBook I paid $1099...
