Excellent. I thought much of the article was fluff though (I wonder if this Ted Landau gets a little kickback). Half of it seemed to be a product ad and manual. Nonetheless it got to the point (albeit fuzzy with drag'n'drop blab) with the SetFile command from the OSX Developer Tools. Thanks...

Ah, I see how not knowing the OS can be a problem. I've added a signature, accordingly. I'm pretty familiar with the terminal. In fact, I should search for a good hex editor so I can mess around with these Mac files just for fun. Anyway, Unix and OSX is kinda new turf for me (maybe just...

How about Timbuktu? That was used a lot in my old office.

Anybody know how to change the US flag on the menu bar to a Canadian one without having the keyboard change to some strange frankophone configuration? Also, is there any way to change the text colour of the "Item Info" (activated when flagged in the Show View Options pop-up box). That...

Aha! Thanks. But I don't see that file being replaced by the system yet. Time to tell? :( Nawwwwww!!!!! I spoke too early. It don't work with nominal sized files (approx 500k). Wait. And now thrice; it works. Lest (heh) another response from me here, your cure was true. Thank you.

I've read about this somewhere recently and there was a thread like 40 posts long with a myriad of uninformed suggestions about deleting certain files and stuff. In the end, however, it was the consenus that Stickies for OSX has a bug. When the notes are minimized their screen location is...

I don't know when this started happening, perhaps my last system update of 10.3. Now I can't drag more than one icon at a time to move into another directory. When I try, all icons dissappear and come back unmoved and unselected. I got a 20G drive with 2G left and was thinking it might...

Thanks all. But heck, I just ordered OSX10.3 and a new power adapter (I wont get into that). Viro, thanks, much is clearer, but much is still goopy sounding. The whole "get up-to-date-with-modern-computing" is like a whole other topic that might be somewhere else here or I'll start one...

I know nill about KDE and XFree86, though the second one sounds familiar. So like are they the same things this X11 and XFree86? Well, I'll check it out anyway. Still, if anybody's gots X11SDK for OSX10.2.8 I'd love to get the package so I don't feel that empty hole if you know what I mean...

:( How much is it in Canadian bucks?

I love my iBook. I love OSX. And I love that it handles tech stuff without the crud that Windows throws at you. However, if I ever hear anybody tell me that Linux or Unix and all that GNU stuff is very user friendly and practically installs itself then my brain will melt. Almost every...

Umm. Maybe it's because I have a headache or because it's early, but I can't find the patch to update my 10.2.8 to the new 10.3. Software update is saying it's available for download and looking around the net isn't helping much. ::sleepy::

Does anybody know if it's easy to "hack" around a permission denied result when trying to get a streaming video. Like this for example http://www.exn.ca/news/video/exn2003/05/26/exn20030526-bc-geckofeet.asx Which is just way to choppy on the page it normally comes from (<a...

Aha! So I need to "setenv TERM xterm-color" for dselect to be viewable. Okay, that's one down. "fink" is now found as a command - somehow it corrected itself, that's two down. No idea of why the update tells me of unfound files. Perhaps these are unfound on the web and not my computer...

Thanks for the tip. It brings up more trouble as usual - I'm like a magnet to computer bugs. At installation it couldn't set up a proper path because I had a .login file, so I deleted my .login and followed the instructions to retry; it lies by saying that things are already fine. But they...

Yo, 'tsup, I've been slowly but surely getting a hang of this UNIX (or is it more like linux, hmm). Roaming around the Internet for info, however, shows that what we've got seems to have minor variations to what others have. For example, it took me like a week to discover that I needed to...

Cockroach? I'm still really new to this forum and not familiar with the regulars. ... Oh, heh. Yeah, just found the Hulk's signature. True.

Yup

Heehee. Indeed. After working for a year at a cable TV/Internet/cellular/VHFcom company that has all sorts of computers, I've touched deeply into Linux, Windows (all of them), the older mac operating systems, and OSX (Unix below)... I have determined that OSX is the undeniable gold metal...

Good stuff, thanks. I found it at http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11842&vid=47924 When I reduce the size enough it fits into Icongrapher, but there is something wacky with the colours. It seems to be using a different palette. I'll play around with it a while later to...
