No one has any thoughts on this system??

just looks computer speakers that are "iPod compatible," which just means they'll plug into anything with a headphone jack. i didn't see anything about a dock. go to the store an…

Hi, is there a way in Cocoa to distinguish between an actual DVD from a loaded DMG image? I'm building a software and hoping this will diminish the chances it'll be copied illegall…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_SIMD_Extensions There's SSE, SSE2 and SSE3. These are sort of like Altivec equivalents in the x86 world. When is Apple going to start optim…

OSX requires a minimum of SSE3, although it has been hacked to support machines that only have SSE2. The system vector libraries support the use of SSE (1/2/3) in addition to Altiv…

I think Apple already is. As mduell points out, an official requirement is SSE3 because Rosetta uses it. And I'm sure it's used elsewhere.

All the intel binaries are optimized for SSE2 when they are compiled. Some also include SSE3 instructions, but since there are equivelents in SSE2 for all SSE3 instructions, the ke…

Did Intel release its own compiler for OS X or is Apple still using gcc from 10.4.4 to now?

The compilers automatically use SSE, unless you explicitly tell them not to. AFAIK the fpu is actually integrated into the SSE unit of the P4 at least.

Apple is using GCC for the OS and its applications at the moment. Intel has a new compiler for the Mac in beta (final release this fall) that offers a substantial increase in perf…

That'd be cool, a nice 5-40% speed bump, although my Mini Core Duo already is pretty smokin' compared to every other Mac I've ever used.

A friend of mine came to me with a problem today, he accidently copied 3500 pic files onto his desktop. So the desktop is covered in files, but they can't be deleted. When trying t…

You could use something like Force Delete, or you could try these two terminal commands: cd ~/Desktop mv *.jpg ~/.Trash Why do I mv them to the Trash instead of rm'ing them, you …

the terminal commands worked, thanks! Had to use different cases to get them all: *.jpg *.JPG *.tiff *.TIFF He thanks you and is in the process of joining this site. Tim

Probably could have just restarted, then whatever file was *hung up* would have been released. What annoys me is that when the desktop is covered in too many files, it starts over…

Sometimes I get the "file in use" message when the file is not really (or apparently) in use and the trash won't empty (adium file transfers and slideshows from the finder are cham…

where is it?

Ask the developer?

I'll try again. I posted this and all that showed up was the Title "Irfan View for OSX". I don’t know if this has been mentioned before as this is my first post and I tried a sea…

Hi all, I am a high school senior and novice OS X developer. I am attempting to create a small OSX app fro a self-directed "Senior Project" course I'm taking. What I would like to …

Well, assuming you can't hax0r Universal Access (maybe look into using APE?), you could do something like read in the framebuffer, modify it, and then display the modified version …
