Is it a top secret project for the US military or something? Why not tell us what it is!

since i could always need some practice with cocoa, sure, why not. as far as objective-c is concerned, that's kind of new to me, too, but i'm not new to programming, so... let's t…

Sorry, that I can't provide a solution but what is "little-endian mode"? Lars

Little-endian and big-endian refer to how numbers are interpreted by the processor. The bits that form a number can be interpreted either right-to-left or left-to-right. But, you…

If you're using standard C, the bitwise operators are required to operate as if the data they were handling was big-endian, regardless of what the underlying platform actually supp…

<strong>This is all on x86. Or maybe it was more data that was swapped (bytes over bits), I cant remember now. But I am almost positive it had nothing to do with the directio…

Sorry for being unclear - I was trying to get the point across without giving a comp-sci lecture What you say is absolutely correct. Just out of curiousity, does anyone know w…

I think you have to be in supervisor mode and of course use assembly code to do the switch. Then I suppose you'd have to switch back if you want to use any system calls. Sounds lik…

Why don't you just write some simple byte swapping functions? I don't think it is possible for Apple hardware to run in little endian mode (although I may be wrong) because various…

Excellent. Thank you so much! My C knowledge just grew F-bacher

A link error means that there is a line of code that is making reference to a symbol (it can be a variable, or function, etc), that has not been defined. In this case, it looks li…

Yeah, I got it... actually got it figured out... they were being cut off by the preprocessor... figures I got the stuff off of sourceforge... after every revision, it's like... IT'…

See either CoreGraphics.framework or IOKit.framework, methinks.

Sorry, other than a cryptically named constant, all my best grepping and handreading through those frameworks and others hasn't turned up an obvious API for monitor brightness. An…

Woah, blast from the past. Incidentally, I ended up just setting the monitor gamma to zero, which turns the screen black, without actually changing the monitor brightness. This t…

Well I really want to adjust brightness using software, as I try to write an application that sets the brightness when the battery status change. Yes it is a recovered topic, I di…

1) - is for instance methods, + for class methods (called "static" in C++ and Java) 2) I had problems making colors, too. colorWithDeviceRed ended up working, though. 3) Don't…

2) I can't seem to create RGB colors with NSColor. Do I use colorWithDeviceRed? or colorWithCalibratedRed? "Device" colors are are colors which will always use those values, on an…
