Hi there, I have a MAC mini with Windows and OS X installed in it. This mac is connected to a KVM and the keyboard that I use it's a regular PC keyboard. When I try to load the Startup Manager by pressing the Function key at startup, it fails and loads directly into OS X. I believe that the KVM is giving me trouble but I can't get rid o...
I want to write the python equivalent of mdfind. I want to use the .Spotlight-V100 metadata and I cannot find a description for the metadata db format used, but NSMetadataQuery seems to be what I need.

Hi guys, I was wondering how you can append a variant to a port if you have already installed the port. For example I installed the 'vim' port and would like to go back and add the python25 variant.

Can anyone suggest a PHP IDE (preferably built in Cocoa/ Objective-C, not Java) that also has native support or an excellent plugin for Git?

I need to write a method that takes a .gif image file as input and converts it to a 32x32 .png file.

I'm trying to get a Qt app compiling for Mac running Snow Leopard, using Qt Creator 2.0.1 and Qt 4.7.0 (64 bit).

Hi, at work, we're unable to use alSourcePause() to pause sounds, and in any case we might want to start the sound with an offset. We're performing a "resume" by doing alSourcei(this->sourceId, AL_SAMPLE_OFFSET, this->sampleOffset); with a sample offset that we retrieved with alGetSourcei(). We tried using AL_SEC_OFFSET, AL_BYTE_OFFSET...
