I am in need of some help. I am working on a project which involves
rendering bitmaps to a QuickTime file. I am working with the latest QT SDK

I'm just learning Cocoa.  I seem to be gradually getting
my head around it but it's not easy.  So I'm using
[NSBundle loadNibNamed:@"CatList" owner:@"foo"];
in an application which has more than one NIB.  What, you

I'm loading an image into a NSBitmapImageRep object and a NSData object,
but when I get the raw data using -bitmapData and -bytes they appear to
be different, at least when loaded as an OpenGL texture. What is the
difference between NSBitmapImageRep's -bitmapData and NSData's ...

What's a good way of dealing with Cocoa objects that are implcitly
autoreleased, when you know there's no event loop coming to clean them
up?  Like in a Foundation tool.

A source of random numbers for a computer program can be a real-world
device that is connected to the computer.  The device uses some quirk of
physics to get the random data.  This technique may not be as fast as
conventional puesdo-random techniques, but there's a lesser chance ...

hey all,
I've got a framework bundle that I want to load from a shared library.
I've got it working using  FSFindFolder( kOnAppropriateDisk,
kFrameworksFolderType, false, ...);

I have three classes: Map, which accumulates NSMutableArrays of the
other two classes, Surface and Vertex. Communication between Map and
the other two classes works fine. But Surface and Vertex needs to keep
pointers to instances of each other. The pertinent part of the header

right now, the g4 15 inch powerbook is a year behind the 17 and 12 inch
models. ive heard rumors that apple is coming out with a new 15" powerbook.

I have an app which accesses the Keychain. If I use a given build
repeatedly, I am only prompted for permission to access the item only on
the first attempt, at which point I choose "Allows Allow" and of course,
I'm never prompted for this build again. When I rebuild my app, I ...

conventional Makefiles how do I compile my binaries static?

So I assume I'm missing either some -L path or something else
