    Mac laptops cheaper than Dell's offerings?

    If I could not get a powerbook or ibook, I would buy a thinkpad. I've had 4 thinkpads in the past 6 years and they are strong reliable laptops (if a bit heavy). Thinkpads still can't compete with a Powerbook though. BTW: my company has some 2yo Gateway laptops (the silver ones that try to...

    graphical view of running services

    If I understand what you are asking for, you can do all this from the terminal window. Terminal is located in applications/utilities in the terminal window type (ignore the "") either "top" to see a general list of all process running on your system OR "top -u" to see a list of all...

    OS X interacting with Wins servers

    Anybody had any experience with getting OS X to "see" PC's or interact with PC's in a Win server environment? Because our netowrk at work is served by a Win server (some kind of windows only server lookup thingie I think), I have to use a "special" router to have any internet access at all...

    help finding virtual desktop/terminal emulator

    Thanks for all the responses. I've tried X11 and can't get it to work (I have run it for 2 years on Linux) correctly. I'll look into vnc. Thanks, David

    help finding virtual desktop/terminal emulator

    I am looking for an app that is similar to Hummingbird (for windows). It would allow you to log into a (in this case) solaris system. You would then be presented with a "window" containing the solaris desktop (gui not command line). I've been looking for something like this for a few...

    [FAQ] long time for applications to open!

    I am having the same problem. I will start an application and nothing will happen, other than a pulsating arrow next to the icon in the nav bar. Takes some 30 seconds for the app to start. Maybe it is because I updated from 10.1.5 to 10.2

    My computer works funny after waking from sleep

    I've got a similar problem. When I put my Quicksilver to sleep (running 10.1.5) it will start up but almost immediately locks and eventually displays the kernal panic code for one of the processors. I only have the keyboard and mouse hooked up via usb. Hopefully upgrading to 10.2 next week...

    greenmedia updated?

    I still don't understand why eveyone likes flash so much! Here are my opinions (BTW: thanks for asking for input on your site, more of us should do the same). 1. You need to ask yourself (and you might have already), what is my target audience. If you are trying to appeal to a select few...

    Screen size to design for?

    I usually design for 1024x600. But, I put all of the main content in the 800x600 section of the page and any other content in the extra space.

    Best Open Source Text Editor???

    BBEdit 6.5 has syntax coloring for ASP, PHP, HTML, Perl and there are language modules available for many more (I use the SQL one). I'm not sure if the lite version has the syntax coloring feature or not. BBEdit is the best text editor that I know of.

    Uploading MySQL database from my computer to server

    A fairly easy way to do it is to use mysqldump (as slur suggested). Here is example code you can use from the terminal commandline: mysqldump --opt -p DATABASENAME > filepath/DATABASENAME.sql --opt adds the most commonly used mysqldump flags -p requires you to use the password for...
