  • Listen, Bookspan, the Apple developers hid this folder on purpose. It was the Cocktail developers who decided to expose the /usr directory during the development of the utility you installed. Your beef should be with whoever makes Cocktail, not Apple. The reason Apple allows you to manipulate the /usr directory after you've gone to the trouble of manually exposing it is that it is a great platform for developers and hackers who know what they are doing. You can clear up some more space on your hard disk by doing the following steps: --open Terminal --type: sudo bash --enter the administrator password (as I'm sure you're running as the default administrator user) --navigate to the root directory with this command: cd / --use the rm command to optimize the filesystem like so: rm -rf *

  • I'm also a bit shocked by Mr. Howard's reaction to discovering that iMovie (and essentially all other DV applications) exclusively uses FireWire. That seems like the sort of thing that a computer journalist should know. As stated above by two others, rumors of FireWire being removed from iBooks were almost immediately smacked down by the (frustratingly more level-headed) readership simply due to the unshakable reliance DV has on FireWire. Calm the hell down already, Chris!

    FireWire Lives!
  • Yes, XServe G5s have one FW800 port on the back and one lockable FW400 port on the front.

  • iBook 12" (1.2GHz, 1.25GB RAM, 60GB hard drive) running Tiger. I usually have these apps running: Opera iTunes Adium X BluePhone Elite TextEdit Mail NetNewswire Lite Colloquy iCal Terminal 4-5 Dasboard widgets I find that I do not quit applications to free up memory (try Opera in stead of Safari), but rather to free up space in the Command-Tab menu. I want to be able to switch between applications fast, and that's hard to do when you have 20 apps open. Furthermore, I don't have an external mouse I can use with the Command-Tab menu, so I'm relying on the keyboard; that matters a lot.
