Ok, not sure if my long-winded msg reached the list, but I'm just
posting my questions. Any resources etc. very much appreciated.
First, I have a son and as careful as he is, he has hosed a few dvds.
Now my Mac has a dvd burner and I was curious if there's an
application that would let me make copies of these dvds so I can have
a spear on-hand. Of course not to resell etc. just for my use. I'd
like that app to be as VO-friendly as possible.
Ok here are my final questions for a while and thanks to all in advance.
somewhere on the web, but I haven't found it and it covers the guts
of Tiger. I really want to learn all the magic that makes this thing
work so I can do some other things like trying to port a few Linux-
based applications over to the Mac. Next thing is and I'm sure this
is a completely silly question. If the Mac has gone to sleep and you
have a cron job schedule to run, will the machine wake itself up and
run the job or would I have to set the power management such that the
box never goes to sleep?
Also, I have an APC ups which there is Mac software for, but what I
want to do is connect my Mac and Linux box to this ups. I have on the
Linux box a program called apcupsd which has the ability to notify
clients of itself via the network that the client machines need to
shutdown do to a power loss. I am not sure if it can be compiled to
run on OSX, but if anyone is familiar with this or knows if there's
APC software etc. I can use to accomplish this, I'd appreciate it.
Finally is it possible to port applications that run on Linux over to
OSX without having a vast programming background?
Oh did I mention how much I love my Mac?
