I'm writing a process-controller kernel extension for leopard. The application enables me to suspend process's with SIGSUS and to make the computer sleep.

I'm looking for recommendations for a programmer's image editor for OSX. I'm looking for something for preparing images for use in software and web applications - I'm not a graphic designer. On Windows I'd use Paint.NET. GIMP is not the answer (flakey and a disaster with Spaces) Must haves crop, resize canvas etc resample, bicubic ...

I have been using Yourkit 8.0 to profile a mathematically-intensive application running under Mac OS X (10.5.7, Apple JDK 1.6.0_06-b06-57), and have noticed some strange behavior in the CPU profiling results. For instance - I did a profiling run using sampling, which reported that 40% of the application's 10-minute runtime was spent in ...
Hello. Is there a way, from within a Cocoa application to change the system network settings (specifically, the proxy settings).

The problem does not show up on 32bit Mac Java installs. From what I have read via google, the issue seems to be related to the fact that the applicatio...
