Mac OS X
Mac OS X crashing Firefox, Chrome and Safari
Submitted by phecht on Wed, 2011-05-11 22:26While the browser lock ups that have happened since around April 19th, 2011 might not be solved by this, I haven't had a problem since I ran these 2 commands in terminal:
mv ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist fu.com.apple.systemuiserver.plist.fu
sudo mv /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist fu.com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist.fu
I moved the files, but the post I read said to just delete them.
Now I have looked and the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist is still gone.
The ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist is back. It is now 82 bytes instead of 653.
This whole experience has made me realize that both Mac and Windows are unstable. Ubuntu is as well. But at least it is free!
I got it from this web page: http://problemresolved.wordpress.com/2009/09/12/slow-snow-leopard/

XCode and Version Control Folder
Submitted by albert on Thu, 2008-07-17 10:05If you do this:
defaults write com.apple.InterfaceBuilder \
VersionControlDirectory "(Build, CVS, .svn)"
it will let XCode know to ignore these folders from a SCM perspective.
Getting $PATH line by line
Submitted by luke on Sat, 2008-07-12 13:16echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' will list the $PATH nicely.
So will this:
echo $PATH | sed "s/:/\\
> /g"
That is hitting return and getting the ">" that is not typed in.

This is another one: http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ for $69
http://www.shinywhitebox.com/home/home.html for $20
Nice ISP in Box page

While we all want to have straight forward instructions on getting an Apache, MySQL and PHP set up on your mac, even a mini. It has been very valuable to me. Many recipes out there, this one hasn't left me re-configuring over and over again.
Mac OS X Lepoard Server had some issues

According to this link, Mac OS X Server 10.5.x is junk. 10.4.x seems "Rock Solid". Personally, I am not entirely sure what the server software gets you.

Operating Systems
Submitted by phecht on Fri, 2007-11-23 20:26Most people still use Windows. A few use a Mac. Fewer still use Linux.
