I'm using Eclipse 3.5.2 with all the relevant updates on OS X Leopard. Lately I've noticed that whenever I work with XML schema files, the whole IDE bogs down. This persists even after I've closed all the XSDs I had open. When I say "the whole IDE" I mean even simple tasks like changing the focus from one open Java file to a different...
launchd has option to run process with low priority I/O. How does it work exactly? (how low is low, does it affect all operations?) Is there an API that enables low priority I/O in applications not launched via launchd? I need to scan watched (FSEvents) directories in background application, and I'd like this to be as gentle as possibl...
I haven't had to do any GUI programming in a long time, so I might be being obtuse here, so please bear with me if this is a stupid question. I decided to use wxPython for a small hobby project, and I'm having trouble changing the background colour of the main window. I'm using Python 2.6.2 and wxPython 2.8.11.0 on Snow Leopard.

Why is my application bundle sometimes missing its icon and/or have this "cancel" symbol over it? I have looked at the .plist file and the icon path and icon exist and are correct. If I right click the bundle and click Get Info, the icon shows up in the 'preview' section. This happened after I moved around some code in my qmake file ...

I have a controller class which spawns a window when a certain condition occurs. This window can be closed by the user, moved around or resized. Ideally, when this condition occurs, I'd like the window to re-open in the same spot the user closed it last time. Looking for an elegant way to do this. Pointers (or references) will be most...
I've have been desperately searching for a tutorial on how to use the mount() function properly (they are very good at hiding this knowledge).

I'm not exactly sure if this is the best place for this topic but here goes.. I've reformatted my Android SD card (16GB) to HFS+ format, and pushed a Mac OS X 10.6 boot image (from a .dmg file) onto the card. I did this because I don't want to go out and buy a DL DVD-R to reinstall my operating system, and because it's a nice little exp...
So there's this weird behavior in Apple Remote Desktop where computers will report self-assigned IPs back to the console before they've gotten their real IPs from the DHCP server, and then since ARD contacts computers based on this IP address, they become "lost," in a manner of speaking. I can fix this by wiping out the 169.x.x.x address...
