If I open macvim via point and click with the finder, the $PATH variable will NOT be properly set. Can anyone give me some insight? Note: I know at least part of my path is set in ~/.bashrc, but ...

Normally to change a symlink target one will first unlink the file and then re-creating the symlink with the new target path. However it will be assigned a new inode number.

I downloaded the Python 2.6.5 source, built it for OS 10.6.4 64-bit, and installed numerous dependencies. I opened a big project our team has been working on recently, ran the unit tests, and one of the tests failed because I had installed Python built using UCS-2 (I didn't know this was the default of OS X!) In a nutshell: I didn't sup...
We have a web-camera and a FireWire camera attached and would like to get input from the second one. But when we use cvCaptureFromCAM(0) and change a number passed as an argument, we're getting data only from a web-camera. We tried to use OpenCV Private Framework and then it works fine. So, most probably problem is caused by the fact t...

I'm trying to add UTI for a pair of file types, matching by extension. I think I've got it setup properly - at the very least, the file extension -> UTI mapping is recognized (I declared it as an imported type in info.plist). However, when I try to get the UTI off of my test file, I get back a dynamic UTI. Here's the sample code I'm usin...

Does anyone know how to find a list of all the possible error codes thrown by the ostest utility, and their meanings? I noticed this to be a common problem for people, where they ask about an OCUnit failure with some code 138 or 139 that is completely opaque to them, and somebody who has encountered that particular error number points ou...

For a long time, I've wanted to become a security expert. In fact, I've always wanted to know everything there is to know about computers in general. So I did some reading on viruses and the different type of environments you can get. What I found is that viruses affect Windows computers more than UNIX due to less people using UNIX for w...
