importString = s.substr(s.lastIndexOf("?") + 1, s.length); Gets a substring starting from the last occurance of "?" in the string "s" to the end of the string. splitString = importString.split("!"); creates an array "splitString" containing each fragment of "importString" which is...

Sadly it's just not gonna happen, Apple has already said the 13" MB replaced the 12" PB and 12/14" iBook models. I wish they do what some PC laptop mfgs are doing and making the video card expandable/replacable. Then again with integrated graphics I'm sure that's simply not doable since all...

if you look at what he said, it's obvious that it's BS. The only advantage the black one has is a bigger HD, and AFAIK you can get equally spec'd black/white macbooks

http://yourtech.typepad.com/main/2006/05/its_official_no.html It's too bad too, I <3 my little powerbook, i have a feeling the MB just won't feel the same (new keyboard, bigger, heavier, not metal) On the plus side, wireless will be better, but I'm gonna miss this little thing when I...

as the owner of a broken nano, while it is pretty indestructable, I got a dent on the back of mine which pretty much fubared it because the battery was right underneath. It was a TINY TINY dent, but the thing got fucked up. I think i may have run into a desk corner or something when it was in...

I used macFLAC, it works pretty well, but it just gives you giant .aiff (or maybe .wav) files from what i remember. Then you have to load them in to iTunes and convert them to whatever yourself, or use lame from the command line if you're leet. Anyway, it's about the only solution since...

i have no idea what relavance that quote has to this discussion; but following the source and argument set forth, MPlayerOSX installed just by dragging it to my apps folder.

I've had permissions randomly disappear on some of my itunes music recently. I can only think of one poorly written application that would be accessing it.

Permissions are exactly what they say they are. It's a 3 digit octal number that says who can access the file, and there is also information about who owns the file (user and group). The fact that permissions can just break like that is something that really confuses me, I don't know why ANY...

according to http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/Users/Drivers the fans work fine, they just aren't audible until you get to higher CPU loads.

I generally use playlists for parties and when i have ppl in the car, that way I can put it on shuffle without wondering whether the chicken dance or something stupid will accidently come on.

IMHO, steve wants podcasting to become THE mainstream means of distributed content, much like radio was in the early 20th century. He seems all about giving up old technologies and riding the wave of the future, and that's just what he's doing here.

The one thing intel really has going for them is they can build Northbridge chips, and thus motherboards that don't suck. AMD has always had problems connecting the chip to the board, and they are just now starting to get their act together in that arena.

I'll have to disagree with you there. While the screen is small, it's not sharp. That is to say, there is nothing wrong with it, but when you compare it to a 1280x800 display like on the 700m's, it doesn't even compare in terms of sharpness.

hdparm is a linux only thing, i know there is atacontroller for FreeBSD. Not at my mac at present so I can't give it a whirl

if it's almost any sort of image file, photoshop will open it.

Finder->Preferences, Advanced tab, show all file extensions

yeah, the correct syntax in bash is alias whatev='command'

Try using a bash function instead of an alias.. trash() { mv $* ~./Trash }

i find that if it does that and you just scroll with two fingers then return to using one, it works.

like morty said, best place to start is cocoadevcentral.com, i think they have a nice simple tutorial on building your first app. Since you don't know much programming outside of HTML, it'd be a very good idea to buy a book or take a class on the basics of OO programming, this way you get a...

my best guess would just be to make a new account, or get in touch with microsoft and see what they can tell you

I run civ3, the sims, simcity, other games like that with no problem at all on my 12" powerbook. the 15" should run them like a champ. (and hopefully civ4 once they port it)

there is also a non-short circuit AND operator, useful when you have something like if (x<7 & ++y<3) when you want the second one to be evaluated (in this case so a variable is incremented)

IMO, you would be better setting up regions of grass/stone/whatever, then putting entities on top of that. e.g. grass(20,20,40,40) would have some grass from (20,20) to (40,40) seems like a much more plausable/computationally easy way than having a giant matrix

12" iBook G3 off ebay for $300-400 will go a long way.

tried that, left it plugged in for about an hour, still made the high pitched noise, resetting does nothing, and it was getting a little warm (granted it was under a blanket cause i couldn't stand the noise)

Ok so i left it sitting around for a few days when the battery went low one time, and now it's not responding at all. When i plug it in the nano makes this really high pitched sound from it's buzzer, and it's not mounting as a disk or showing up in itunes or anything. Anyone know what might be...

It's illegal considering osx86 is an apple developer release only meant to run on the developer intel G5s. Not that i have any issues with it, but i wouldn't go playing it off as legal

fujitsu makes that tiny ass lifebook... http://www.transmeta.com/success/notebooks/fujitsu/fujitsu_p1120.html

going from apples specs online, the iPod nano is 350% smaller in volume and 366% lighter than the iPod 60GB... not exactly insignificant

For some reason the inspector in grapher isn't working anymore. If you click on an equation, it pops up with the options, but then they disappear rather quickly and leave only the little dialog box that says "Show: All" Also the rendering of 3d graphs has slown considerably, even after a...

very nice, you're making me want to buy a broken one on ebay to fix up for my brother

it manages my networking, graphics, filesystem, etc... if you think OS's haven't made big jumps in areas other than appearance/bug fixes, you're fooling yourself

The iMac is looking more and more scrumptuous every day. Probably gonna end up getting one before the intel powerbooks come out

It's ok if the charger gets hot, mine gets very hot if it's sitting on the carpet and charging.

The market just isn't there for portable video players like it is for music. You can listen to a 3 minute song pretty much whereever you are, but watching a tv episode or a movie requires a much longer time commitment. Add to this the total lack of universiality when it comes to codecs...

powerbooks just suck at picking up wireless because they are made of metal which deteriorates the radio waves coming in.

a splitter is going to result in a net loss of sound quality. He's probably going to want to buy a decent external sound card if he wants 6.1 that bad.

keyboard on the powerbook is better, imho
