No problems here. Try another user account.

You mean another user account on the iBook, right? (The Weather Channel lets you set up accounts as well.) I'll give it a shot. If it works well with another user account, what …

So how does one fix Safari's cache and/or preferences? The issue seems to be creeping into oddness with other sites' content.

msuper69, thanks a lot! I'll take a whack at it right away. Later...That seems to have done the trick, at least as far as The Weather Channel goofing things up goes. I renamed i…

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…

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.

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…

forgot the link www.ashortdesign.com

very well done! a few nitpicks: it really bothers me to see the gn from design dropped down there--not readable. As the animation played, I kept expecting it to move up where it b…
