I HATE APPLE

axwww?

BSD ps options. w = wide. ww = extra wide. ax = all processes.

System V options are fine, but ps -elf is traditionally narrower.

% ps -efl | grep -i '[ p]ainter'

  501 65840   158   0   1:52.83 ??         5:37.50 /Applications/Corel Painter X/Corel Painter X.app/Contents/MacOS    4000  62  0   572440  99620 -      S    115fb090

% ps axww | grep -i '[ p]ainter'

65840   ??  S      5:37.50 /Applications/Corel Painter X/Corel Painter X.app/Contents/MacOS/Corel Painter X -psn_0_2863803

this is where i quietly slink away.

what you guys don't like ACTIVITY MONITOR?

Anyone else find that DVD Player just doesn't work under Leopard?
No matter what disc I put in my G4 Powerbook, as soon as DVD Player opens I get a spinning beachball and the only way to recover is to force a shutdown.
I'm using VLC to watch the same discs on the same machine, so it's got to be a problem with DVD Player.

^^ i had the same problem w/ my g4. major contributing factor to my decision to go to macbook pro.

i looked on macrumors and official apple forums and there were hundreds of people complaining about the issue.

-bash: %: command not found

Anyone else's MBP have the issue where it misses the first letter you type after sitting for a minute or two?

Did you install firmware update 1.2?

Hmmm, no, it's never come up on my updates screen. Weird.

-bash: %: command not found

Sorry, dan. I meant that to be a shell prompt. Try the command again w/o the '%'.

lol TCSH

Interestingly enough, % was only the default tcsh prompt on OS X in early versions; old-skool UNIX nerds know % as the csh prompt; > is the out-of-box tcsh prompt. Now, I'm not trying to say that yr first experience with UNIX was OS X or anything, but perhaps you should consider growing a beard.

I think the TCSH at college was configured to be % as well!

My first unix experience was using SCO in like 1989

so you're already way past beard age in unix years. Hey, it's not so bad. Doesn't shaving kinda suck anyway?

uh oh, i think i just posted a dilbert cartoon. :(

nothing came back.

I guess you don't have any Unsanity crap, then.

has anyone ever tried uninstalling the developer tools (ie using /Developer/Tools/uninstall-devtools.pl)? i could do with freeing up the HD space on this powerbook but i've read a couple of horror stories about things like software update not working after people have tried doing this.

i can't even remember why i installed it in the first place: i ain't no developer. (stet: you any ideas what i was thinking of?)

thoughts, advice gratefully etc.

Hey, does anyone know of a free/trial thing that can mount disk images?

For complex reasons, the disk image mounter that comes with OSX won't do, but I've been assured that Toast would do it fine. However, I don't want to buy that.

Thx etc.

you could try using hdiutil in the terminal eg

hdiutil mount jamie.iso

try

man hdiutil

for more options

I am an idiot who likes things done for me, but I may try that. Thanks.

(I've never used Terminal! But I can learn, maybe ...)

Ungh. They really ask for it, sometimes.

tbh that ad is targeted to WWDC attendees so in that regard I suppose it did crawl up the right ass to die

Hope you like seafood.

...bitch

would have been better if it said "save some turkey for me".

All-night code fest?

ALLEN?

DO YOU LIKE SEAFOOD, ALLEN?

all night crab fest

all-night cock fest is more like it

i hope you like steaming hot chowder

"Hope you like seafood" -- lol doesn't the gay in play misty 4 me say this?

upgrading a G4 MDD, manual says nothing about snazzy drive doors blocking the drive tray :(

I upgraded my G5's DVD and the drive door blocked the drive tray. Then I noticed the drive made it really easy to just slide off the front "lip" of the tray, and now it works fine.

yeah mine seems to be glued on. fuck an asus

Fun w/VMWare Fusion:

1. Turn on Spaces.
2. Open a VMWare (Windows, in my case) app.
3. Open another.
4. Press F8 and move the window of one app to another space. Switch to that space.
5. Click on the dock icon for the other app.
6. Woo!

arrrrgggghhhh

i've only had this MBP for a month and the screen is cutting in and out in horizontal pieces whenever i adjust the display angle. i took it in to the genius bar and they said they'd replace the hinge and connections (and even the LCD if they needed to) but that i'd have to give this thing up for a week. worst possible timing! hopefully it will last until the end of the quarter ...

probably not the best thread -- or board -- for this one, but hey:

what the hell would stop *one single track* on an audio CD from importing, playing or copying? i tried it in two different machines (my trusty PB 12" and my equally trusty, if a bit slooow, iMac DVSE) and the same thing happens on each: iTunes will stall and hang if asked to play the file from the CD or import it, and the finder gives me an I/O error (type -36) if i try to copy the AIFF file directly from the CD to the desktop.

i blew the dust off my old LaCie burner and tried it from that. it worked! painfully slowly, right enough -- import speed dropped from about 12x to 3x -- but it managed.

what the hell is going on here, then? how can one audio track (which, incidentally, plays fine in a cheap portable non-computer CD player) cause this much hassle? (i tried opening it in quicktime, too: that crashed the finder so hard i had to manually reboot, which i've *never* seen before. even by SSH-ing in from the iMac and going on a killing spree, i couldn't get the finder to relaunch.)

You very clearly have a damaged disc. The reason it plays "ok" in a cheap portable is that the cheap portable just goes on its merry way when it is unable to read the damaged sector. You may or may not be able to hear the damage, depending on a number of factors, but it's still there.

If you care, you may be able to fix the disc if it's a scratch on the bottom: The acrylic layer is relatively thick, and you can often burnish out minor flaws.

i've seen exactly that behaviour before grimly. ended up downloading the album.

I didn't mean to hit submit, but instead of elaborating, I'm just going to leave that. M. That's what I think about all this.

THAT'S what you think of this??

No, I was just going to say that My brand new AirPort Extreme went back to the store yesterday, and I think it's hellooooo NetGear. It was not meant for me, anyway. Although now that I have been through the experience of paying almost $200 for a router (!) and having it not work with any machine but an Apple, and then only in the way it wants to autoconfigure itself, and having the Apple Support line tell me on no uncertain terms that they could not do thing number one to help me configure it properly, well. Actually, that was a bad phone call. I was sweet as pie, and started explaining my issues and using big words like DCHP and DMZ and kinda scared the hell out of the poor girl, who meekly admitted that I was going way over her head. That's fine, I don't mind that, bring on the Product Specialist. This guy...wtf. He immediately began treating me like a problem customer, like I had just been cursing up a storm and he needed to calm me down. "Sir, we do not support those features. We cannot help you." Whoa, ok. Well, thanks anyway for the most expensive router ever in human history that the company doesn't provide support for. That's just glorious. :/

You very clearly have a damaged disc

yeh, you must be right -- but there's absolutely no sign of cosmetic damage at all. and the fact that every other track is fine (or is it? perhaps there is other damage i'm not hearing) suggests the damage is intrinsic rather than physical, if that makes sense. i wonder if there was a fucked-up batch? actually ... it was a limited-edition pressing anyway ("the golden hour of the future", if anyone cares), so perhaps the whole lot were badly done somehow. (i know nothing about CD mastering and pressing.)

caek: ha, yeh, i was gonna do that -- although it's not the easiest to find (only one other person sharing it on slsk, and at an utterly feeble speed).
