The location of the BootPanel.pdf file used by Panther has been changed significantly in Tiger. It is now located within the file: /usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow It starts a…

Any idea how this can be changed??!!

The brute force aproach of overlaying the imbedded image with another on didn't work. The new image was a bit smaller so it fit but the program may try to use the entire space rat…

That sucks... It's strange that Apple chose now to make it so difficult to mod the boot panel.

Made it work. The new pdf must be exactly the same size (bytes) as the original. My new one was smaller so it was padded with nulls before the $EOF. \n's will also work. I don'…

Can you describe exactly how you made the edit? What tool did you use?

how do you crack the executible open to get at the .pdf? -Andrew

hex dump was used in this case but any number of other approaches will work. The key is be sure the new image is exactly the same size as the original image.

I used Photoshop and Resorcerer (HexEdit would do just fine). I'd be interested in better methods for reducing the size of a pdf image. Don't forget the progress bar: http://forum…

How efficiently would an SQLite database run on 10.4? The purpose would be to create an accounting program, with many sophisticated features, most of which would be dealing with in…

The number of records and whether you wanted to have network abilities would be the deciding factors in making the SQLite/PostgreSQL decision. The latter is going to be for network…

I almost hate to respond, because I'm just starting to tinker with Core Data, but... I'm developing an app that is quite involved, and is probably as complex as an accounting pack…

Very nice...I especially like two separate point you both made. First, I forgot to mention that this will be a network-able accounting package and to learn that SQLite is not, that…

Another option might be write an abstraction layer that would allow you to plugin Postgres or CoreData. That way you could test both and also give the user the option to not requir…

WJMoore makes a good point, I just wouldn't even know where to begin...use CoreData but with PostgreSQL...hmm. I don't know enough about CoreData yet. What I have done was to creat…

You can't pass SQL to CoreData. You must pass CoreData's own predicate formulated queries. CoreData then converts these to SQL internally (if using SQLite) or to another suitable…

Hi, I would like to hire a website design company to build a website. How do I know if they are legit? Are there any questions I need to ask? Any help or suggestions would be very…

Just ask for their portfolio - then ask their former clients.

Check the meta tags. If you see the words 'frontpage' or 'microsoft word' anywhere, start running

Ask them for 3 URLs of recent work, then post them here. You won't get a more honest appraisal of a web development company's work than from the folk here, me included

ok thank you for the replies. The website I was thinking of choosing is sophea.com Any opinions?
