I have been a switcher for about a 1 1/2 years, and am intested in taking some courses on computer programming. There is a course on Perl at the local community college. A six week…

Stick to the cross-platform languages (i.e. take ANSI C instead of Visual C) and you should be able to program in any language on your Mac.

I've got a Mac (and only a Mac), and I'm currently a student of Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona. All the work I've done so far has been easily accomplished on any…

We have 2 computers, A 1Ghz PowerBook running Tiger and and old iBook running Panther, both running the old airport cards. I have an Airport Extreme Base station. My wife was promp…

Restart. Maybe twice. Do it until the iBook prompts for permission to transfer keychain information. It happened to us yesterday too. For some reason after the update the OS di…

I kept seeing a keychain prompt come up JUST as the computer was shutting down which made me curious. When i got up this morning I re-installed the Airport Extreme Update 2005 Driv…

I recently found a local community college that is offering an intro course on perl, and I thought I might try it out. Now, the various languages are not too obvious to me, as to w…

C is popular, it's everywhere. It's offshoots are C++, which is immensly popular, and on the OS side of things: C# for windows and Object C for macs. Java is the most portable, b…

I second the php idea. Basically php is a scripting language that runs on web servers to produce web pages. It is similar to c in syntax. The basic concepts are identical to any l…

I say go with the PHP idea as well. You learn C syntax, can learn OOP concepts if you'd like, and also acquire the knowledge of a really useful language.

I am using PB G4 400Mhz and Aria Extreme wireless card, and it has been a happy marriage until it suddenly stopped working. I do not remember what I did - as matter of a fact, I d…

Recent software update?

Actually, I clean-installed OSX 10.4 as I had additional HD. It did not work. I upgraded to 10.4.5. Did not work, either. I also upgraded Airport Extreme Driver 2005-001. still di…

Try uninstalling the card and restarting the computer, then reinstalling the card. PC card power is often controlled by the computer; the computer may have "forgotten" about the c…

Thanks for your reply. But, that's what I did in the first place. And 300 times after that. You are right that it looks like the computer have forgotten the card exists. But, at t…

What a POS. The rubber got stretched out putting my iPod in it, and now it doesn't sit flush against the cheap screen protector. Man, I am sick of buying crappy products that ove…

I have a black Belkin Flip cover that i like. It works nicely, just do not drop the ipod when the flap is open

Sucks. I wish I had gotten a skin for my old 3G. Now I have a new black 5G and I'm babying that thing like none other until the Contour Showcase for 30GB ships.

I prefer the Speck ToughSkin. Those thin skins just don't do it for me. I had a rubber skin from another company and it also didn't sit flush on my iPod video.

I'm updating a small screensaver I wrote to universal Binary, and I'm wondering about backwards compatiblity. I wrote it origionally on 10.3 and found it works on 10.2 as well (so…

If you compile as universal binary, you must use the 10.4u SDK. This makes it incompatible with anything less than 10.4. So "no", it will not work with 10.2, but even more signif…

I'll preface this with the caveat that I have no Macintels, so I haven't tested any of this myself. That said, it should be possible to create a 10.2-compatible universal binary. F…
