Brilliant: In only 14 keystrokes you are able to get the Font inspector window!
What happened to Command-Plus and Command-Minus to zoom in/out which about every Mac OS X app support?

Interesting: this works through an on-line service that monitors up to 2 servers for free (including protocols like HTTP, SMTP and PING).
You can get reports at either through:
I’m using this to monitor my boxes at home.
A demo video is below.

LOL:
The if syntax of your script was a bit…well, iffy.
Indeed it is:
#!/bin/bash #toggle AppleShowAllFiles current_value=$(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) if [ $current_value = "TRUE" ] then defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE else defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE fi killall Finder
Even the alternative if statement is:
if [[ $(defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles) == TRUE ]]

When you’re not a frequent iTunes user, and recycle computer systems, then every once in a while you will get you in to a situation where you have Music on your iPod, but not on your PC any more.
Whereas iTunes is great at putting music on an iPod, it cannot get it back.
There are numerous paid tools to get the music from your iPod, but doing it manually is not that hard. Below are a few links to get you started, but they all come down to this:

Here is a list of books that I think any serious Delphi developer should have or have read:
There are many other Delphi books out, but most are either version specific, bound to a narrow area of topics, outdated or not well written.

A long time ago, there was an interesting discussion here: I was wondering, that what is the closest value to the Zero floating point can have.
Recently I needed to do some calculations on series where getting close to zero could become a problem.
In practice it depends a lot on what you are doing. Sometimes absolute Epsilons are best, but at other times relative difference is much more applicable.
Then there is also a Machine Epsilon: a way to derive an Epsilon from a data type that works in all languages and platforms.
