I want to type some special character like heart, Ohm sign , in Windows, I could be able to copy these from character map easily, is there any utility alike Windows Character map for Mac ?
How do you create a keyboard shortcut that activates fast user switching (i.e. brings up the login window) in Mac OS X Snow Leopard?
I'm trying to emulate the Windows Start+L keyboard combination, which I miss from my time using Windows.
We have a form template many staff members use. We created it in Word 2004 for Mac, and I was told a shortcoming was there was no way to turn on the spell checker (a real hassle!). I hoped this would be fixed in 2011, but when I open the form and save it as a .docx, the spell check still doesn't work. Many menu choices, including Language and Spelling and Grammar are grayed. Is there any way to get spell check in a protected, fillable form?
Is there anyway to make windows rollup on Mac 10.6? I prefer rollup in some circumstances to minimising because it allows me to easy bring the window back up again.
UPDATE: Thanks for suggesting WindowShadeX, but it doesn't work on this version :-(

What I am trying to do is create two-step verification to logon to my mac, one being that you would need to input a SD card (formated with special format or something) and then also have a password. Is there any software out there that could do this or any way of programming it so that once it reads the SD Card it makes the password bar visible for logon. Would it be easier to do it with Linux since it is open source? Any help in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks
I have a samba share that works fine for PCs, but we have a mac user who seems to only be able to edit and rename existing files, he cannot add new files.
Any ideas?
Here is the share setup:
path = /media/freeagent/officeshare
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
writeable = yes
public = yes
For one of my classes I need to write several prolog programs. Can someone suggest a mac friendly prolog compiler? I tried gnu prolog but when it doesn't work for me.
I like to use "Dictionary" app for seeking unknown meanings for Mac.
well, Is there any freeware app with additional (add-on) dictionaries you recommend over that default app? Any suggestions are most welcome.
I want to run script when my mac is idle (for example after 5 minutes or screen saver start time is also ok) and when I resume it from idle state.
I know that I can write daemon using NSDistributedNotificationCenter and com.apple.screenIsLocked and com.apple.screenIsUnlocked, but I hope that there is already solution without creating new daemon.
I need this to for example turn on/off speed limit for Transmission (as it is sometimes hard to work when hashing/downloading on full speed).
Is there any program to set the theme of x11 gnome applications under Mac OS X?
I've installed macports and gnome, but I cant find the gnome-theme-manager that I'm using when under linux.
I have the following line of code that I use to update my personal date variable in my projects to today's current date. This line works in Ubuntu's terminal, but the Mac terminal seems to be far behind. Unfortunately, I copied this snippet from some site, so I'm not sure how it exactly works. Suggestions?
grep -ilr --exclude=revar.sh --exclude=README.md "[DATE]" * |
grep -v .git | xargs -i@ sed -i "s/\[DATE\]/${today}/g" @
Hi,
I notice the message:
Firewall[313] portmap is listening from 0.0.0.0:111 proto=6
repeated on my logs ever 30 seconds. How can I disable portmap (not using NFS or anything like that so I assume I have no need for it).
I already tried Lingon.app and disabled com.apple.portmap from there, but that didn't help at all as portmap is still running after i rebooted.
What would be the proper way to disable portmap and stop the service without having to reboot on Mac OS X 10.6.

I'm trying to spoof my Mac Address on a modified version of linux (Android). The main problem is that because it has been stripped down, the ifconfig command has been stripped out, and I only can use the 'ip' busybox command.
I've been trying to use
ip link set address xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx dev tiwlan0
but I get the error,
ip: socket: Operation not permitted
Any help?
