| | Hello, It is a bad idea to use mathematical equations (==) compare strings! This is why there is a standard library to do it... strcmp is the traditional correct way to do it. Might as well learn the proper way to do it....or that portable code may bomb out on …  |
| | Hello, Apple offers a really nicely priced "family license" that allows 5 computers to share the operating system software. You might wish to consider that in your options. And dual booting is setup either in the Startup Disk control panel, or if you are more techy and added something like … |
| | Hello, This is the first I have seen of the software. What surprises me is that it is for Linux, and it is not downloadable. A lot of software for linux can be downloaded and tried right away. I like the OpenOffice suite. Am looking for groupware stuff now, so …  |
| | Hello, Yup. The key either has a Apple on it, or a very fancy # but loopy, like calligraphy. Or, like mine, the symbols worn off due to excessive thumb use. Christian |
 | Hello, Invest the time to go get Fedora Core 2. Make it worth your while. If it is worth doing, it is worth doing CORRECTLY. rawrite is in one directory; the images are in another. Under DOS, or in an GatesOS(tm) Window, change directories to where the image files are …  |
 | Hello, I would think that it is legal. Why? Because it is inviting you to sign up into their system. A number of places and technical networks that prohibit unauthorized access will tell you upon contacting the machine that unauthorized use is prohibited. It looks to me that the freeshell …  |
| | Hello, I prefer the Powerbook over the iBook. The PB has a larger motherboard pipeline, meaning more efficient data transfer within the unit.

| | Hello, He probably has a virus. I remember reading about some virus earlier this year. I think the only way around it was to boot in safe mode, and then run a tool to remove it. You might even have to boot from different media (CD-ROM, floppy) and run the … |
| | Hello, Picking out computers is like picking out cars. Do you take the cadillac to Menards / Home Depot to haul drywall home, or do you take the Pickup truck to the Airport to pick up 6 business associates that just flew in? What would you like to do with … |
| | Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to get that video format into Quicktime. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to work with video much; my hardware is too old, and the ideas I had worked fine yesterday. I wonder if Premier will do what you want. But … |
| | Hello, I think your bug has to do with the [i]reply[/i] definition. You are making two dangerous assumptions with your code... 1) is that [i]char reply; [/i]properly initializes the variable (instead of you making an explicit definition, such as [i]reply='s'; [/i]so that you know what that variable holds. 2) Your …  |
| | Hello, It is possible that your ISP switched SMTP servers. Here is a quick way to check: -- open the terminal -- telnet to "smtp.yourisp.com 25" if that fails, quickly telnet "ipnumbers.of.yourisp.com 25" to rule out a DNS problem. If you don't receive a rejection notice, then you are doing … |

| | Hello, This is a good one. Do you have a slot 2 that you can install a drive in and see how well it works? I am assuming that this is a PCI SCSI adapter that you are moving around the "slots". Or is this a big IDE system, and … |
| | Re: lost grub Hello, .... and this time, you should make the rescue floppy disk so that you are set when XP crashes on you again. Always make the rescue floppy. :) Always. Christian |
| | Hello, This makes sense! Keyboard connections, either PS/2 or USB, are not well-shielded cables. Nor are mice cables. Because of the lack of shielding, your keyboard / mouse was receiving the interference from the machine, and that is bad. You did the right thing. This is what all the FCC … |
| | Good Morning, I learned Linux back in college on a PowerMac 7100 running mklinux. I found a couple books very helpful along the way, and from there, got more involved with the OS to the point that I obtained a server-class machine with a RAID system to just keep all … |
| | Re: Learning Unix Hello, I started with Linux many moons ago with RedHat 5.2 and with MKLinux on the PowerMac. I would go with what DMR and K offered; but going with your mention of being a Windoze administrator, you probably want to install it and get going to see the guts of …  |

| | Hello, Your computer is probably running OS 9, but I could be wrong on that. The icon you see is part of the older Mac firmware. Your computer has lost the ability to boot, perhaps due to a hard drive failure, or there could have been a major corruption of … |
| | Hello Starfish, All is not lost. A Mac is a damn good computer, and I have a feeling with a little tender care, you are going to shine, and be quite happy to be using it. The big thing here is that we need to know your OS Version. OS … |
| | Hello, Are you by chance running Virex as a anti-virus program? I had that problem -- I installed the latest Virex for Macintosh (beta) and my Palm software just blew up. Not able to sync, and a re-install did not fix anything either. Just not a good thing. IF youdo … |
| | Hello, If I understand you correctly, you have 10 categories (called cars), and you want to collect data on the car. You can use a struct to handle this, or make a simple standard that says the 1 storage unit will be the 1 car class, the second storage unit …  |

 | Hello, FULLY AGREE with Alex. If the iBook is your personal property, did you ask to put it onto the company network? The company owns the power (electricity) going to it, along with the data paths. Did they say it was ok? If the iBook is corporate property, do you … |
| | Re: i need help Hello, I do not thin IPCHAINS is supported anymore under RH 9. I think you will need to learn how to use IPTABLES. To build my firewalls that I use, I ended up purchasing a book called Linux Firewalls, and by doing some Google Searches on "Linux IPTABLES". There are … |
| | Hello, That is rather unique. Does this happen to all of your email, or just from a certain user? I am wondering if someone is trying to be cute to you. I have never seen a piece of email arrive in my box in such a condition. Let us know, … |
| | Hello, You have a breakdown of the Domain happening. The long S numbers are the SID numbers, or Security ID. You mentioned that your PDC went down... Windows 2000 no longer uses the concept of PDC and BDC, unless you are working with older clients such as Win95 / Win98. … |

| | Hello, This one is going to be dependant on the OS. For example, in linux, I can read the raw data on the parallel port by doing some things with the hardware in C, and "read" the port. I take a look at the high (voltage up) and low (no … |
| | Hello, For completeness of the topic, can you tell us what the HP person said? Christian |
| | Hello, What you propose to do is change your computing paradigm all over, and this will take some thought. NT DOMAIN CONTROLLER -- Ok, so you have an NT4 domain at your location. I assume that you have some Windows machines on the network too. Are you planning on migrating … |
| | Hello, Go into the System Preferences, and look under Network. Find where you configured the modem, and click on the PPP Options. Check the box to Dial connection automatically when you need to.

| | Hello, I think the iBook G4 has the option of having a DVD burner in it. Depends what you have in there... I think there were options to go with a Super drive or a combo drive. If you have the standard combo drive, then it is a DVD-ROM / … |

| | Re: networking xp Hello, The XP and the iMac will work just fine. All you will need to do is ethernet them together. While some might say "take a crossover cable and do it", I would suggest that you get a hub/switch, or if you have a high-speed internet connection at home, get … |
| | Hello, I would plug it in, and go into the System Profiler, and see if the Powerbook G4 sees it. IF so, great. If not, then there may be a problem. If the System Profiler correctly identifies it, then I wonder if there is a security issue on the device. … |
| | Hello, Apple is moving away from the forked file system to be more inline with the Unix cousins (Darwin). Yes, make the file a binhex one, as that is the standard (a la zip for the Windoze people). Binhex is pure text: it will survive email, ftp, and web transfer … |
The End.
