OS X comes with a list of all the words in Webster's 2nd International Dictionary (234,936 of them to be precise). These words can be found in the file /usr/share/dict/words. I find it useful to search this list if I'm not sure how spell a given word by using the following command:
% more /usr/share/dict/words | grep [pattern] | more
This should return a list of words from the dictionary that contain your [pattern] (don't type the square brackets) of interest.
Another interesting file is /usr/share/dict/propernames, which is a list of common (mostly Western) names (useful if you're having difficulty coming up with a name for your newborn).

10.2.1 is out - and it's FAST!!!
I just ran software update, installed the 14 meg upgrade, rebooted and WHAM! This update is awesome! It's more of what I expected out of 10.2. My apps, especially Mail, open and run SO much faster.
THIS is what it is supposed to be like. - andy

Don is a great friend of mine who I respect and admire. He believes strongly in open computing and open standards. His fight for Mac acceptance is not based on fanaticism, but on facts. As a fellow Mac user, who has also worked with Windows and Linux for many years, I use a Mac not because I have to or because I don't know any other platform, but because I am confident that it is the best platform for me. If it isn't the best platform for you, I'd like to know. - andy
Murphy paid a visit to Jenny The Librarian, who we missed dearly, since early August. She explains what happens. Oy. [Scripting News]

“… a couple of Mac fanatics convinced me that I didn't have the time or money to invest in learning a Mac …” Jenny, Good to see you back on the net … occasionally. Why can't you say Mac without saying fanatic? That is offensive. Just because we CHOOSE not to accept the pain that WinTel users assume is unavoidable does not make us fanatics. We are simply a minority that know we have a choice. I'm not a fanatic. I have used UNIX, Linux, Mac (1 to OSX) and every flavor of WinTel offered for 25+ years. I know a lot about many options and choose Mac OSX for my primary interface; in today's world that's all your local (personal) machine is anyway. How is it that you feel free to criticize my choice; while you are willing to buy the latest offering from the people who created the very software/hardware that caused you such great loss? I'm sincerely sorry for your ordeal and the ongoing pain of all your WinTel brothers and sisters; but I am broken hearted that you continue to accept such abuse all the while abusing me because I choose not to tolerate the same pain. If you ever decide to break those chains … give me a call. I charge far less than Bill Gates and satisfaction is assured. No network is too small or too large to switch. Sincerely & Gently, dws. |

Change the format of your menubar clock
From: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=020907073047908
To customize your Menubar clock in Jaguar, you must edit the file:
/Users/username/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
Replace username with your user name. Specifically, you must edit the
key “NSTimeFormatString” in the referenced file. You can add, move, or
remove the various components of the format. The default is %1I:%M:%S;
to find other “%” codes to use, type
man strftime
in a Terminal window. For example, I have my NSTimeFormatString set up
as %b %e - %1I:%M:%S, which shows up as “Sep 4 - 4:55″. Once you have
saved the changes to .GlobalPreferences.plist (I used pico to make the
changes), go into System Preferences -> Date and Time -> Menu Bar Clock
and deactivate and then reactivate the clock. You should see the
changes to the clock.
(Please read the whole article before proceeding. Some
precautionary steps have been removed.

I just caught this one on the X4U mailing list, and it's an amazingly useful tip!
If you have a networked printer, point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:631/. You'll be presented with the CUPS administration screen, which allows you to manage your networked printers and jobs via an easy to use and understand series of web pages. Very slick!
