Turbo C++ is an old compiler and does not necessarily comply to C99 standards. The best thing is to use GCC or Visual C++.

Airport Extreme is more expensive because it can handle more computers (150!) and can go way beyond the radius of 150 feet. Airport Express is more meant for a household, where you just need to share internet or have a small wireless network. Do not use Airport Express for a …

Yep. They should both work.... PowerMac G5 has DVI, so any monitor that has DVI support will work with a PowerMac, provided that it has drivers for it. (Very unlikely that your PowerMac will not have drivers for it, seeing that they are both major brands.)

IMHO, Xcode does not have the greatest editor. For a free, light-weight editor that supports PHP and BBEdit plugins, try TextWrangler: [URL="http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/"]http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/[/URL] (TextWrangler was rated best light-weight text editor by Macworld.) If you prefer something more heavy-weight, try BBEdit: [URL="http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml"]http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml[/URL] Unfortunately BBEdit is not free, but is highly recommended by …

Some files are harder to rename, for example if the permissions are messed up. For that, it requires a trip to the Terminal: [CODE]mv startingfilename newfilename[/CODE] Note that this method requires you to know the extension at the end of the file, and also you must cd to the directory …

The Intel Mac Minis are even harder than before to upgrade RAM. You have to remove a LOT of stuff to get at it, and you have to be extremely careful. I remember upgrading a Mac Mini (G4), and even that was hard! I can imagine what these new Mac …

If you can't remember your password, read the article I just wrote: [url]http://dhost.info/joetheprogrammer/wordpress/?page_id=56[/url] I thought some people might find it interesting :)

Can you access unencrypted networks? Try that (if you have an unencrypted one around ;)). Your Airport drivers may also be messed up. I have a friend who messed up his Airport drivers. Unfortunately, the only way I know to recover airport drivers is to do a reinstall of Tiger.

Yes. It is quite easy. First, switch to Devmode by entering the following command into the terminal: defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES Log out and log back in again, and you will be able to drag as many widgets to the desktop by holding down F12, opening a new widget, …

There should be a tiny column on the left with the track numbers.... click on the top, and your songs should be in the "correct" order.

You most likely have not enabled Java/Javascript/Cookies in Safari. Follow these steps: Go under the file menu, choose Preferences Navigate to "Security" tab and make sure the following options are checked: Enable Plug-ins Enable Java Enable Javascript Accept Cookies = Always If it still doesn't work, have you tried using …

I don't know what's up, because I can't actually see your computer, but you might want to try going into "Disk Utilities", and repairing disk permissions. If all else fails, do a Tiger reinstall :)

Well, first of all, what web browser are you using? (Firefox, Safari, etc) You also might want to try reinstalling the web browser if it's really giving you problems. And when you upgraded from Panther to Tiger, you may have had some upgrade issues.

Try using the Terminal: 1. Start up the Terminal, which is located in /Applications/Utilities/ To delete a file, type rm (file path) To move a file, type mv (file path) Also, try repairing disk permissions using Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities)

I remember an old version of Dev-C++ that I got. It had a "Hello World" project option, and as I was new to C++ at that time, clicked it. I tried to compile it, and it came up with errors! Much, much later when I knew more about C++, did …

Another disadvantage of C++ is, it's quite easy to mess up memory due to pointer errors. Languges like Java do not use pointers, so Java does not have this problem. However, with the new operating systems coming with better and better memory management, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make …

My iMac G5 has had this problem already for a little while, and I think it's in need of codecs reinstall. iTunes and QuickTime work normally, but that's about it. RealPlayer and Windows Media Player 9 play video, but without sound. Same goes for their respective browser plugins. I think …
