comment How to redirect values from top command to a file in Mac OSX
It seems that batch mode (-b) is not implemented on OS X. You could set larger value for -l (say "-l 10"), but you won't be able to see the output until after the script is done, e.g. "tail -f output.txt" won't work for monitoring.

comment Specify different username when printing to a lpr printer
If you could find the printer make/model; you could install the drivers manually from the manufacturer website. Alternatively, some generic drivers could work.

Probably you could disable that warning, but I don't think that it is a good idea. You could just accept for this particular printer.

Can't test this now, but IIRC, if you can access the printer as Windows share, you could supply different credentials (similarly to when mapping a network share)

comment Why does my bash script not work? (“command not found”)
Ignore my answer, @kev updated their answer To add to kev's answer, the reason why it doesn't work without ./ if front of it is because the current directory is not in $PATH.

comment How to disable Flash plugin on Firefox, but with a whitelist? I mean *really* disable it
The procedure that I described above -- go to Embeddings and uncheck everything except for "Forbid Flash" will allow Javascript globally and forbid Flash globally (initially, before you change that in the next step). After you add sites to the whitelist (Options -> Whitelist), Flash will be allowed for these sites. The end result would be that Javascript will be allowed globally, Javascript will be enabled for the sites in the whitelist and Javascript will be disabled for all other sites (that aren't in the whitelist).

comment WebM on Mac OS X
Could be, I've never tried it. It may be that WebM is a mess of formats and containers as other formats before ir and Perian supports some but not all of them.

comment How to disable Flash plugin on Firefox, but with a whitelist? I mean *really* disable it
To allow everything but Flash in NoScript, go to Options -> Embeddings and have just "Forbid Flash" checked. This will block Flash only and allow all other plugins and scripts. Then in the whitelist add the sites you want Flash enabled. Another option is FlashBlock: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock, but I've never used it.

comment MacOS X: log is full of “stealth mode connection attempt”s from LAN router
Another way to reduce these entries would be to try to set different DNS servers in the router. Many people use OpenDNS, Google's public DNS servers etc. http://www.tech-faq.com/public-dns-servers.html

comment MacOS X: log is full of “stealth mode connection attempt”s from LAN router
It means that the computer would respond to connections (including pings) initiated from outside by sending rejection to the IP address that initiated the connection. This way a potential attacker would know that there is a computer at that IP address, the OS you are running etc. However if your computer is always behind a router and if you trust the machines in your local network this shouldn't be an issue, because the router would stop the outside connections.
