When working in Unix with various programming languages I often use Kate as my primary editor. It has a really nice function of being able to open a built-in terminal window which is quite useful. The problem is that switching back and forth to the terminal view using a mouse is quite a pain and I can't find any shortcuts for this. Th...

I have installed the developer tools. I can compile code via Xcode and according to the docs /usr/bin/gcc & /usr/bin/cc should point to /usr/bin/gcc-4.0. Neither the symlinks or gcc-4.0 exist on my system (Snow Leopard). All I wish to do is compile some C on the terminal! I'm amazed by how complicated this task is. The command GCC is uns...
Hi all, I'll get straight to it. We have a domain controller running Windows Server 2003 and a new Terminal Server running Windows Server 2008.

What i really want is for my Terminals to behave just like an xterm w.r.t. the key bindings. Is there any way to disable this popup and its b...
I found this utility, pytranslate, which translates a variety of languages into each other using Google's translation API. It works exactly as described. However I've gotten sick of selecting a word I do not understand, then middle-clicking it into the command. The command format is as such: pytranslate WORD Is there a program/scrip...

I can't get the Ruby interpreter to run on either of my Macs (one MacBook and one MacBook Pro, both running Snow Leopard). When I run it, by typing ruby in Terminal, nothing happens. It just sits there. I can kill it by pressing Ctrl+C, but that's it. I know the Ruby process is running, since I can see it in Activity Monitor, and running...

I'm wondering how I would 1. Save a connection...
