comment Dropbox-like client for Macs to access existing FTP/WebDAV/CMIS storage
git annex sounds great, but I couldn't see how it's anything like dropbox. doesn't seem to watch for folder changes at all.

comment How do I open a file as root in TextEdit on Lion?
As other answers pointed out, to do it in 1 liner the only real option is having a 3rd party editor that supports it. Then just type open -t "/etc/hosts" for instance. With TextWrangler you can simply type edit /etc/hosts.

comment How can I open a text file with TextWrangler from the Terminal (command line)?
I just tried and installed TextWrangler, first time I open it asks for "installing command line tools" and voia-lah.

What if you're on a foreign Mac without internet? The 2 hacking terminal lines accepted solution is still generally better. But for practical day-to-day usage, I go with 3rd parties all the way! :-)

If you want it with sudo, gota open TextEdit in root mode first

comment Can I open files in TextEdit from the Terminal in Mac OS X?
Actually, I just tried using this command with sudo to edit /etc/hosts on Lion and it just doesn't work (as expected). It doesn't allow me to edit the file. Only clone it. Might as well go without the sudo, in this case. The file will be marked as locked anyway. To really be able to do so, have to first open the TextEdit in root mode, or just use a different editor: apple.stackexchange.com/questions/20199/…

comment Is 3G-less iPad considerably faster on wifi than iPad 3G?
@TomUnderhill mostly all same iPads. 2. Just one of the 3g-less ones is an iPad 3. Of course, not the one I've tested. I won't have time soon enough to make the internal webserver test, but will do next year! :-o

@Gerry I'll edit my question to reflect your input, but I never meant to imply I'm drawing conclusion from my test. It's the other way around. I've been having problem with it and did a brief test that does point in the same direction. Great idea on the internal webserver, tho! Will do.

@bmike I find it weird closing a question that was already mostly answered... but well, can't care about it now! ;-)

comment Why Mac OS X requires any amount of free disk space?
@bmike tell you what. I'll go with this answer because it did cover basically all of what I asked, assuming that's how it works. And I would say OS can't stop working if I try to be excessive on programs - it should prevent me from doing more than the hardware can.

comment Why Mac OS X requires any amount of free disk space?
So you're saying, on average, overflow from RAM is the main issue which causes OS bugs when the disk gets full? Now I wonder if Android or iOS ever have such issues, and if I should update my question to address this...

comment Why Mac OS X requires any amount of free disk space?
You're missing my point. I also advocate to use only 1 partition. I'm not saying "partitioning is the solution, why they don't do it". I'm just saying "how can't they come up with any kind of solution, even if using partitions, to keep the OS working without worrying about free disk space". Windows and Ubuntu sure bug out with zero space. I thought OSX didn't, but now I'm not so sure - not only because of the warning.

@JRobert I was actually hoping someone could point to an Apple article where they would tell a general reasoning but not get in to any technical details, like they usually do.
