Myst III looks like it's shaping up to be a great sequel -- heck, it finally gives us a reason to use those DVD drives in all our computers But the release date has changed... f…

im a big fan of Myst and Riven......but im wondering, is this going to be the last title of the "D'ni games"? It sure would be nice if they came out with a new game ever other y…

Myst IV is already in the works. Sorry I can't find a link so you can confirm this, but it came in one of Ubi Soft's press releases that also created the firestorm over the delayed…

Turned out the jumper I was using to terminate the internal drive was broekn,. Soon as I replaced it, all worked ok.

Yes I've just spent most of the day trying to install 10.1 The procedure has been: 10.0 Clean Install 10.1 Update Freeze,or Error... Reboot Kernel Panic Reboot into Mac OS 9 Eras…

I have had the same exact problems as BooBoo. The diference is I have a stock Dual 450. I removed all 3rd party devices and never even touched my DVD drive. Right now I'm zeroing …

OS X will definatley have a probelm with SCSI CDR. Try replacing with the old one - probably gonig to need it for X anyway. Had major problems installing X on a beige. Finally w…

I couldn't install 10.0 on my Beige G3/300 until I returned it to its original condition (down to the master/slave IDE config). Once I installed, though, I re-customized the config…

Schwa, you had better luck than I did. The only way I can get 10 or 10.1 loaded onto my G3/266 is to pull the HD and put it in a G4. If I try to boot from the OS 10.1 CD on the …

First, calling someone a "bastard" isn't the best way to introduce yourself and ask for help. That rude comment aside, what's so bland about the information on the Internet? P…

Poor english and/or typos aside, I don't think Train of Death was calling anyone a bastard. Nice list of online resources!

I'm using Cocoa and Objective-C, I can create an NSURL with the string, but there seem only to be methods that can extract host etc., not decode the whole string... I would write i…

There are some CGI libraries in C that have to do this sort of parsing. Try looking at cgi-lib or cgic. I was working on an Objective-C CGI library at some point, but haven't had…

CFURL.h (in CoreFoundation) has some functions for encoding and decoding URL text. Others can be found in the open-source Omni frameworks: the stuff you'll find useful is split bet…

I tried using CFURL and CFString to decode the URL data, but I'm having a problem.. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR>…

Oh, obviously I need to pass the allocator(?) in the CFURLCreateWithString.. but I haven't a clue what that is.

Well, I actually got the time to sit down and sift through the CF docs a little, and the solution was quite clear and simple. Here it is... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face=…

AppleEvents aren't really anything related to remote control/display of programs... You'd be better off using something like OSXvnc, if I understand what you're trying to do.
