They always say that one of the most important advantages of Macs is that no viruses are written/coded for them. What is the reason behind it? Is it so difficult or impossible to code a virus on Mac?
I'm using mail from Mac OS terminal to send the results of a database query to me via email. Most of the time it works, but sometimes there is a long delay before the mail arrives (often when another similar script is run). It looks like there is some kind of send queue, but I can't find any docs mentioning this. Is there something I need to do to flush mail from the terminal?
I am using a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5. I am new to this development environment, and previously worked on Windows.
I am wondering how to create a shortcut for applications or documents on desktop? Just like "show on desktop" feature on Windows?
Thanks in advance.
Today Mac OS X kernel panicked twice on me.
The first time, I got this log.
The second time, I got this log.

EDIT: I ran the apple hardware test and got these results.

Could anyone recommend an easy to use GUI based and free FTP client for my platform?
Thanks in advance.
What FREE software (included with Mac OS X, or public domain) would be a good, simple way to take some existing PNG clipart files and do some simple editing?
I really only need to do 3 things:
Rotate the image.
Clip the image.
Set a "transparent" color.
I don't need anything that takes weeks to learn or is super-powerful or super expensive.

If I configure a Mac Pro with a RAID card and two 15k RPM drives, and leave the drives JBOD (no RAID configured), can I install Windows on the second drive? I guess the question really is, does Windows recognize the RAID card? I know it's probably just a rebadged LSI or Adaptec but wanted to see if anyone's actually done it...
Two part question:
I am having a difficulty regarding receiving my mail. I have 3 Gmail accounts & 1 Yahoo account. In Windows, I use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express. What email client can I use on my Mac?
The second part is that my system administrator has banned accessing Gmail and Yahoo mail via their websites. Is it possible to still access it anyway?

I have tried when select a file (e.g. a ppt file on desktop), then I press Delete key on keyboard. The file is not deleted (seems no effect). How to delete a file from keyboard?
Thanks in advance.
I'm looking for a regular expression based search/replace GUI tool that is able to handle multiple files/subdirectories, something like grepWin but for Mac OS X.
PS. I'm aware of grep and I don't need an editor, just a standalone tool.
In order to create some special routes for debugging I used the following command on my linux server:
sudo route add -net 10.78.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 gw 10.101.1.1
which works, and sets up the routes I need. But when I run the same command on my Mac I get:
route: bad address: netmask
I'm guessing that the version of route that is included in OS X requires a different format but I'm at a loss to figure it out.
I have a Linksys WRT54G/GL/GS that I am running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) vpn - build 13064 on it and for the life of me I can not find a way to assign ip's based on Mac address. Basically I have a few laptops and Windows really has no decent way to have separate profiles for each network.
I ran across a situation at work the other day where we were trying to move a pile of .url files on a Windows XP machine to bookmarks under Firefox on Mac OS X 10.5.8. It proved very frustrating, as we didn't have access to the source machine anymore (where we could have exported the bookmarks properly).
Does anyone have a solution for that one?
I installed gcc 4.0 on Mac OS X Leopard. I linked gcc-4.0 to gcc.
Then I ran gcc to compile a library but I got the following error:
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
hi,
I've installed gcc 4.0 on mac from Xtools dmg.
If I go to the directory /usr/bin and I call ./gcc-4.0 it works.
I would like to make it work from any directory by just typing "gcc".
How can I make it ?
thanks
This Server Fault blog post shows some tools you can use to view interference on your wireless network: blog.serverfault.com/2012/01/05/a-studied-approach-at-wifi-part-2/. They mention Vistumbler, which only works on PC's. Is there a similar tool I can use to measure wireless interference on a Mac?
Also, is it better to be on a channel with many AP's, each with a weak signal, or on a channel with only a few AP's, but a strong signal?
I'm coming from a PC, loaded with a Core 2 Quad CPU and 8GB of DDR2 RAM. I was running Premiere CS3.
I'm new to Mac so I'm not sure if this will help performance: Will increasing my 21.5" Core 2 Duo iMac's memory from 4GB (DDR3) to 8GB improve performance of Premiere CS4 significantly? I am not impressed with Premiere as it is now. The iMac is the newest one as of this post.
Using screen on Mac OS X, I want to know how to go to the beginning/end of the line.
Usually I use ^ + A / ^ + E on terminal , but that doesn't work for screen.
A Mac Zoom utility which magnifies a selectable portion of the screen and can be minimized.
If it cannot be minimized then the zoomed portion of the screen should be set as it is, so that i can do other work and switch back to it
