I have a bit of trouble getting CompHEP working on my new mac. Does anybody have experience with getting it working on OSX10.5? I Tried following Michael Peskins guide here: http:/ comphep.sinp.msu.ru/mac/install but it seems to be outdated :(

I am having trouble with how to set up the equation for this problem... Os is the densest element known. Given that the density of Os is 22.57g/cm^3, calculate the mass, in kg, of an Os sphere 15 cm in diameter, which is about the size of a grapefruit. Any help would be greatly...

I would like to get some kind of typesetting software for my Macbook. Anyone use one on theirs who could point me in the right direction? If possible, keep the technical terms to a minimum:redface: I get lost in them easily ;) Thanks, Casey

Hello, Celestia runs fine, except when i go to satellites ( Hubble, ISS, etc). When i hit the 'g' key it doesn't show anything for the object, instead a blackish type sphere is displayed. I'm running it on an older system: Dell GX240 2.4Ghz Pentium4 1gb DDR 2700 Geforce MX440 64MB I...

hey all, I have a few questions about Occam's razor. First what is considered to be a entity? Is it any basic law of nature? (that is not a result of other laws). A mathematical axiom/set of axioms that is needed for the theory (like Euclidean geometry for classical optics). Basic...

So after buying a laptop to take with me for a semester abroad, I now have two computers and I wanted to do something fun with one of them. Hence, I'm thinking about putting some sort of UNIX-based OS on my laptop (I had my desktop dual-booting Fedora Core 3 and XP for a while, but that didn't...

The goal would be to finally create a real competition to MS Windows. Since it can be anything, open source, closed source, do whatever on Earth you want, the competition would be great. You would get the best of both worlds, open and closed source. A company can decide to invest billions...

I wondered how to program a operating system such as microsoft windows, linux , can anyone tell me ? Is it you can program a OS using C++ ? Another is how to program bios ? Also using c++ ?

I am presently learning operating system fundamentals. Can anyone tell me m from where I can get free very small operating system code, in order to understand how it basically works? It will be big help...(Please exclude Linux :)) Thanks in anticipation/

In OS X, how do you set up user preferances so that when you log in, various programs automatically run every time. I started doing my programming on macs recently for work, and I often need to open 6-8 terminals, and then guide them to different directories and open different files every time I...

Which is the operating systhem of the physicist? Say yours.

I recently received a Palm T/X for my birthday and I've found that i can't view flash on it. Does anyone know if and how i can get a flash player on it? I've never had a PDA so I'm a newbie with these things. Thanks.

Hey guys, This is my first post, and I spent a lot of time trying to figure this one out and I am totally stumped! Two of my classmates got different answers, and no matter how many ways i work this problem out, I still get the same answer. Also, forgive me if my mistake is really simple...

I am reporting on a fatal "Printer Driver Conflict" which I encountered and verified with new versions of Hewlett Packard Pavillion OS involving at least its printer driver groups and erroneous coding affecting the OS's Hal.dll file. Thus far, it appeares HP has not under taken the proper...

Mac OS X 10.4, one of its most awesome features is the integrated spell check, almost every where you can type you can spell check, I use it all day all night and love it very dearly. I found once that it had named "w00t" incorrectly spelled, however it did have two suggestions: "w00" and...

Does the OS matter in programming, say for Java, or C++, or any language? The CS department here seems to use linux, but they also lend out macs, and I would be surprised if XP was not acceptable, so I am under the impression that it does not matter. However, this seems a bit strange...

Windows Vista is the official name for the next version of windows. More information can be found on microsoft's site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/default.mspx

With Apple's move towards Intel processors there has been a lot of specualtion about the eventual outcome of this venture. Well, if M.Dell has anything to say---according to the Forbes article below---then we might just see stand-alone copies of OS X right next to the virus monster known as...

Hello there; A recent idea that some are talking about (a lot of slashdot), is that some software companies (ie, Google, Mozilla) will start to make what used to be applications become web services. For example, instead of loading MS Word on your PC, you would go to a website that has...

So.. I recently ordered a iBook with OS X. I might be making that switch to "the dark side." I really don't know much about the OS, other than that it's built on a unix platform. May I ask what software I can download to start developing (small, useless) applications for the Mac?

how can a software be changed be used in different os ? one software but can use in 3 os, win, mac, linux ? how can that be ?what do the maker change in the software to fit all three at the same time ? thank you.

I'm looking for a place to download Curvus Pro for OS X. Apparently the maker is no longer offering it. Does anyone know of any sites that archive Macintosh software? Any information would be appreciated.

My opponent, Nico, has been seduced, through playful theatre, in challenging a new dialectic that was created on the internet called OS 012. It was not created by myself, I was just the person who found myself in the center of it, and became so to speak the 'scribe' of it through discussion with...

This is me: What a profiler :), even witches (hope they won’t see how I called them :)) told me that they guessed well. What about you, what kind of perOSnality you are ? http://bbspot.com/News/2003/01/os_quiz.php

Anyone here use/own a mac? I just bought an iMac off my company, G3-600mhz, 384 meg of ram (or so), installed with OS 9.1 and OS X (early, crappy version). I like the Mac OS, seems clean, easy to use. I was just wondering, what impressions others might have had with it? Can you really replace...

I have some questions about computer users settings and specs, so I'll use here as my audience, if it isn't minded. Earlier a poll on OS was done. Since most users fell into two broad catagories, I'm interested to see the specifics of those two. Please post the OS you use the most. If your...
