Free programming software?

sure... many programs do not NEED to be cross platform... but why waste you time writing tons of code that you cannot easily move to another platform? What is the actual benefit you get? In most cases... none. I never said Mono was different than .NET, just that for cross-platform, make sure...

Free programming software?

Not locking your code down to one OS is the best way to go. simple stuff.. thats not very demanding on the hardware.. is always good in Java. Full GUI stuff is built in and can look like native windows on whatever OS you run it on... no recompiling needed, just move it from OS to OS and run...

Eclipse on OSX == Slooooooooooow

I haven't looked at that fix.. but Eclipse Java and Eclipse C++ both run the same speed for me on OSX as they do on Windows... which isn't fast, but usable.

Cheapest HDMI adapter capable of passing audio?

There are many websites claiming to have these... everyone I search for and find always say they are out of stock or on backorder... Luckily I wont need one myself for a couple more months, so I'm waiting a bit... be interested if you find one thats actually in stock somewhere.

Irfanview for mac?

I don't think there is anything irfanview can do that you cannot do with software that comes with Mac OS X. for basic image cropping and resizing and viewing, just use Preview.app.

Change the format of a disk

Will the Windows upgrade install trick work on a mac?

just use the Bootcamp Assistant to set up a dual boot... and yes the upgrade disc trick will work fine. When you are running Windows with a dual boot, its normal Windows running directly just like any other PC.

Parallels or Fusion on New 13" MBP

VirtualBox is great for free... but VMware Fusion is much better in performance... and if you have a .edu email address you can buy it with an academic discount and save a bunch.
