I've been struggling to get a really basic PHP function working on my iMac, the PHP mail() function. I've used it countless times, albeit on a Windows platform and now I'm trying to get it running on Mac.

Every cell will equal to 0 regardless of the value...
When I copy and paste from a website that formats their text using <*li>, I get numbers or #'s when I paste into any text editor on my Mac (running Snow Leopard).

I have a feature of my application which depends on alternate-click. Windows users don't understand "alternate-click" though, and I was wondering if most mac users understood "right-click", and if so if they were offended or annoyed when they see such text.

I would like to dynamically allocate memory from an assembly program that does not link against the standard C library. Since brk(2) and sbrk(2) are unavailable on Mac OS X (10.6.2), what are the alternatives? (I'm guessing that it involves a Mach call, but there seems to be little documentation around that) ...

My Google searches didn't turn up much in the way of Mac OS X frameworks or components at all, let alone the type I am looking for. ...

Coming from a C++ background, one thing that confuses me about Objective C is the fact that you can add a method to a class without actually specifying it in the class interface. So I had a barrage of questions: Why would someone choose to not add the method in the class interface? Is it simply because of visibility? Methods without ...
