airport - the Little Known Command Line Wireless Utility - OS X Daily - 0 views

  •  
    Strangely hidden from the casual user is a spiffy command line utility that allows you to view, configure, and troubleshoot your Mac's wireless connection. It doesn't appear to be well documented, and judging by the obscure location of the command, Apple probably didn't think it would be too useful for the average Mac user. But the hidden command line airport tool is very useful indeed, so here is how to access it, and how you can use it too. The first thing you'll want to do is create a symbolic link to the airport command, because it is situated in a very inconvenient location for quick usage.

Image cleanup script « Managing OS X - 0 views

  •  
    Here's a cleaned-up version of the script I use, with site-specific stuff removed for the most part. If you use this, you'll need to modify the paths to any local user home directories for any local users you have on your image. There are generic examples for a local admin user named "admin" and the root user (which if you never login as root, you shouldn't have to clean up!)

How to force certain input language? - The macosxhints Forums - 0 views

  • you can select from the International Preferences pane to allow the input source to be system-wide or document specific. I've got my set to 'document specific'. This lets me enter Arabic in one document, Greek in another,
  • after a couple of switches input source becomes the same for all windows/applications.
  •  
    This seems to be the answer to the question I posted earlier today, about input sources jumping about "at own will".

input sources mess - The macosxhints Forums - 0 views

  • Does anyone experience similar problems?
  •  
    Any suggestions?
  •  
    This started happening to me too (in my case, switching from US to British on its own will) but only after I started using the NoScript and Diigo Toolbar plugins for Firefox. I don't use Adium. The switch to British makes it a real pane to type microblogging hashtags, as the UK MacBook keyboard has no hash.

VirtualBox 2.1.0 Released: A Look at the Mac Version - O'Reilly Digital Media - Dec 200... - 0 views

  • I haven't updated my Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion to the latest versions yet. And, after a quick look at VirtualBox 2.1.0, I wonder if I will need to. It will probably take another couple of weeks of playing with 2.1.0 before I can make that call.

Troubleshoot Your Hard Drive problems - 0 views

  •  
    Although you can have one big fat hard drive as single partition, you should Partition as well, if you have a big hard drive. Partitioning is the method of dividing an area on a disk into minor portions of smaller capacities that can be recognized by the operating system. Picture this: your hard drive is a cake. It is easier to eat a cake divided into pieces than to eat it whole.

Mac vs. PC: What You Don't Get for $699 - BusinessWeek - 0 views

  •  
    Now Microsoft is fighting back with its own advertising campaign. I've enjoyed some of its elements. The Seinfeld spots were weird. I was intrigued by some of the "I'm a PC" spots that aired last fall, depicting PC users engaged in a variety of jobs-teaching law, protecting endangered species, blogging for Barack Obama. The message: You can use a Windows PC and still do cool and interesting things. Not bad. Then came the adorable little girls: Kylie, age 4, and Alexa, age 7, e-mailing pictures of fish and stitching together pictures of a fort into one. Microsoft, it seemed, had finally found its advertising voice.

Randomizing the Mac OS X Software Update Server | Krypted - 0 views

  •  
    I've had a few instances where there was no way to setup round robin DNS or a load balancer and we were looking to alternate between a bunch of software update servers.  In order to do so, I've written a quick shell script to do so.  Here it is, in pieces, so it makes sense.
