Getting rysnc and scp to work well on Mac OSX I agree with both points, based on my own experience and reading things like: linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/… |

Is there a good tool for monitoring network activity on Mac OS X? tcpdump is what I need here - for some reason, Private Eye wasn't showing me FTPS passive connections, but tcpdump did. |

How do I disable animations in Preview in Lion? I have no answer yet. I only just encountered the Preview animation, somehow -- I normally use continuous scroll, but for this ("A Lesser Photographer", which has been mentioned a lot on the net recently) I wanted to see whole pages at a time. And, man -- this is really annoying, even on a 2011 MBP. Lion, Lion, why do you hate me so? |

Mac to Mac SSH network problems @JShoe: It's probably more complication than the fun will be worth, but: 1. Have one of you find out the external IP address of your router, via whatismyipaddress.com. 2. Have that person use the admin tools for the router to do a "port mapping" of port 22 to the 192.168.1.x address of their computer. 3. Then you can try to log in at joe@external-ip. |

My 2007 iMac is extremely slow, yet memory and CPU are not starved General recommendation I've heard is to aim for free space >= 10% of capacity. |

Why does the Mac OS X firewall dialog recurringly pop-up and disappear by itself (without letting me respond) under Snow Leopard? I never saw this on my 2.33 Core 2 Duo machine. I bought the new "early 2011" MBP, transferred all my data from the old machine, and now I'm seeing this problem for the first time ever. It's really aggravating! I don't believe it's just an SMB problem, since obviously, I'm using the same network environment I was before, just a new machine (and a special 10.6.6 build for the new laptop). |

can I make Excel always open a delimited text file with “text” translation? You're right, that would work, but I would rather not change all code which writes out tab-delimited files to put quotes around things Excel might interpret as values. Excel is just a convenient viewer, it's not actually the end consumer of this process, if you know what I mean. Thank you, though! |

can I make Excel always open a delimited text file with “text” translation? @datatoo: These are either input files coming in from clients, or output files we're sending back to them. I won't swear I don't ever want Excel to not process them, but the vast majority of the time, I want "1/2" to stay "1/2". (re-reads...) You know, I had glossed over the "template" aspect of AdamV's answer. I may have to look at that again! Thank you. |

any emacs like tool while working via SSH I do the remote screen + emacs thing myself. I remap screen's ^A command to be ^O, so that normal emacs ^A use isn't changed. Other than that, it works beautifully for me. |

any emacs like tool while working via SSH @Gopalakrishnan - Yes, I use emacs in a terminal all the time (macosx, fedora, ubuntu). It's probably the case that "apt-get install emacs" will install emacs so you can use it in both X and not-X. |

Is it possible to change the transparency of an already open window in Mac OS X? That is an interesting use of transparency. Cool. I do wonder, though -- if these texts are things you have on disk, or if you can pipe them or save them to disk, you could use a variety of diff tools for the same thing. There's "diff" at the unix command line; there's FileMerge which installs with the Apple XCode tools; there's the cross-platform DiffMerge program; and many others. Maybe this would be a more general solution, especially when your data doesn't fit on one screen? |
