Hi there! Actually when trying to get shared memory, shmget() often fails with because being unable to allocate memory. The physical size of RAM really shouldn't be the problem (4GB is enough, I think). Rather there's probably anywhere in the systems properties a limit for allocating shared memory set. Does anyone know, where I can fin...

I want my application to integrate Mac OS X better. I've read Mac OS X Integration for Java and I've learned I have to import com.apple.eawt.* and write some extra code. But, if I do this, my application is not going to work on Windows because of missing reference. I could do this with preprocessor command if I write in C but this is Jav...
Hey guys, quick background: I'm a .NET developer, mainly Web, but with some experience in old skool VBA, WinForms, some WPF, and a lot of Services. I've now bought a new Mac (Snow Leopard), and loving it, and have my first need for a custom "app". I don't need explicit instructions on how to build this app, but I need a starting poin...
I'd like to write a small script that implements RFC4709 for OS/X. I started off by creating an application bundle that registers the application/xml+davmount mimetype and launches a simple python script. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me to make this a .app bundle, because the application is very short-lived, and it also doesn't se...
I am trying to do a Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) from my Powerbook G4 (OSX 10.5.8) to a Windows 7 machine. The connection is established without any issues and the remote destop is displayed properly. However, hitting CTR or one of the arrow keys terminates the RDC session which is very annoying as you can imagine. Any ideas on how ...

Hi guys! I tried today to find a bug in Thunderbird, or more specifically - the location where it crashes ( the Crash reporter jumps in ). However when I try to run it in gdb, the program immediately exits with code 06. And then the Crash reporter springs into action again. This way, I can never get to the actual point where it dies. I...
ParamText() is an really old way of replacing parameters in a string that is based on Pascal strings. Also StandardAlert is not quite Unicode ready. The new message box (not so new) replacement is CFUserNotificationDisplayNotice but this one expects CFString and I found out that if I'm about to switch to using CFString I'm not able to u...
Hello, my fellow developers! I hope very much that at least some of you will not get frightened by the amount of text this question contains (I simply did my best to be as descriptive as humanely possible). :) To those who think I've asked this question to write malware or something. I want to write an application that will allow users ...

But I don’t want to fill my hard drive with junk just to make sure there’s really no space left. What I want is to simulate this situation withing a particular process (actually, a PHP app). Indeed, temporarily prohibiting ...
Hi everyone, I am writing an application which has to communicate with a device connected via USB. The app sends and receives data in turns from the device on a fixed timing. All Rx/Tx happens in a separate thread because otherwise the UI would be blocked. The basic structure looks basically like this. (autorelease pools and stuff omitt...

Can anyone link me to some docs that would be relevant. I did find anything in the NSString docs. ...

I'm working with a Rails project over an AFP mount in TextMate. Every time TextMate becomes the active window, it spins for around 30s-1m, which is VERY frustrating. I've sampled TextMate when this is happening, and found multiple calls to +[NSFileAttributes _attributesAtPath:partialReturn:filterResourceFork:error:] to be the issue. Is t...
