Pada hari itu, ia datang dan langsung masuk masjid. Usai shalat, ketika ia ingin melakukan pekerjaan rutinnya, ia terkejut. Tidak ada satu pun daun terserak di situ. Ia kembali lagi ke masjid dan menangis dengan keras. Ia mempertanyakan mengapa daun-daun itu sudah disapukan sebelum kedatangannya. Orang-orang menjelaskan bahwa mereka kasihan kepadanya. “Jika kalian kasihan kepadaku,” kata nenek itu, “Berikan kesempatan kepadaku untuk membersihkannya.”

Singkat cerita, nenek itu dibiarkan mengumpulkan dedaunan itu seperti biasa. Seorang kiai terhormat diminta untuk menanyakan kepada perempuan itu mengapa ia begitu bersemangat membersihkan dedaunan itu. Perempuan tua itu mau menjelaskan sebabnya dengan dua syarat: pertama, hanya Kiai yang mendengarkan rahasianya: kedua, rahasia itu tidak boleh disebarkan ketika ia masih hidup. Sekarang ia sudah meniggal dunia, dan Anda dapat mendengarkan rahasia itu.

“Saya ini perempuan bodoh, pak Kiai,” tuturnya. “Saya tahu amal-amal saya yang kecil itu mungkin juga tidak benar saya jalankan. Saya tidak mungkin selamat pada hari akhirat tanpa syafaat Kanjeng Nabi Muhammad. Setiap kali saya mengambil selembar daun, saya ucapkan satu salawat kepada Rasulullah. Kelak jika saya mati, saya ingin Kanjeng Nabi menjemput saya. Biarlah semua daun itu bersaksi bahwa saya membacakan salawat kepadanya.”

Perempuan tua dari kampung itu bukan saja mengungkapkan cinta Rasul dalam bentuknya yang tulus. Ia juga menunjukkan kerendahan hati, kehinaan diri, dan keterbatasan amal dihadapan Allah swt. Lebih dari itu, ia juga memiliki kesadaran spiritual yang luhur. Ia tidak dapat mengandalkan amalnya. Ia sangat bergantung pada rahmat Allah. Dan siapa lagi yang menjadi rahmat semua alam selain Rasululloh saw?

Bagaimana dengan kita, apakah kita sudah bergantung pada rahmat Allah??

Anda yang berminat memiliki smartphone minimalis yang telah dilengkapi segudang fasilitas modern, termasuk multi-touch screen, camera, bluetooth, wi-fi, push email, 3G dan GPS ini dapat mendaftarkan diri untuk bergabung dalam indent list yang disediakan Telkomsel mulai hari ini.

iPhone yang diproduksi Apple sejak Januari 2007 menarik antusias para penggemar gadget di seluruh dunia berkat paduan desainnya yang anggun, tampilan yang sangat simpel, dan kombinasi hardware yang tangguh. Tak heran jika predikat “Invention of the Year 2007″ dari majalah Time pun akhirnya berhasil disandangnya.

Menjawab tantangan pasar, pada pertengahan 2008 Apple merilis generasi kedua iPhone yang tampil dalam varian dua warna, dukungan akan jaringan 3G, kemampuan jelajah melalui Assisted GPS, dan fitur AppStore yang mengijinkan penggunanya untuk mendownload aplikasi ataupun multimedia content menarik melalui iTunes Store.

Jauh sebelum iPhone benar-benar resmi dirilis di Indonesia, para pecinta gadget telah lebih dahulu mendapatkan smartphone yang diklaim mampu digunakan berkomunikasi selama 10 jam ini melalui bursa online seperti forum Jual-Beli MWI, ataupun melalui kolega yang sedang berada di luar negeri.

Meski Apple membatasi akses penggunaannya di negara-negara yang belum resmi menyediakan iPhone dengan langkah menguncinya (locked), namun tingginya antusias penggemar iPhone melahirkan sebuah trend untuk membuka kunci tersebut melalui metode yang dikenal dengan sebutan jailbreak dan pwnage.

Kini Anda yang berminat untuk segera menggenggam iPhone 3G dapat mengisi formulir pemesanan yang disediakan oleh Telkomsel di masing-masing halaman berikut:

Cukup banyak saluran televisi yang tersedia, seperti Al-Jazeera, BBC, Nickelodeon, dan banyak lagi. Namun untuk menikmatinya dengan baik dan lancar, koneksi Internet Anda minimal adalah broadband berkecepatan lebih dari 64 KBps.

Saat MWI mencoba menonton serial kartun Avatar yang ditayangkan Nickelodeon, tidak terdapat kendala yang berarti. Hanya sesekali terlihat patah-patah dengan koneksi 128 KBps (1 Mbps) dari Telkom Speedy.

Anda yang menggunakan layanan broadband 3.5G tentu akan lebih maksimal dalam menikmati keunggulannya.

Sebelum menjalankan Livestation, Anda diwajibkan untuk membuat account tanpa dipungut biaya apapun di situs Livestation. Kemudian setelah software sebesar 25 MB tersebut terinstall, login, dan pilih channel favorit Anda.

Gunakan fitur Search untuk mencari channel yang tidak terdapat disana. Karena Livestation juga memiliki kemampuan untuk menerima streaming dari pengguna yang lain. Nickelodeon, MTV, atau Discovery Channel adalah beberapa contoh dari user streaming.

Fitur lainnya adalah Chat yang dapat mengobrol dengan sesama pemirsa channel. Namun sepertinya belum banyak yang memanfaatkan fitur Chat ini.

Nah, bila Anda ingin mendapatkan informasi aktual secara langsung, tidak ada salahnya memanfaatkan Livestation untuk memperkaya wawasan Anda. Terutama bila cukup banyak waktu luang yang dimiliki.

Selamat mencoba

1) Get Intel or G5 Binaries

A rather simple first tip. If you are running on either an Intel or G5 check the download site of your applications to see if there is specific binary for your computer. You may need to upgrade to get the best speed.

2) Slim Down Universal Binaries

In a similar note to the previous tip you can save a bit of RAM and disk space by removing the binary in applications that you wont use. Xslimmer is the best application for this job.

3) Clear Caches

Your computer runs on Caches. If a cache becomes corrupt or full of erroneous data removing it could actually speed up your computer. Find your caches files under /Users/[name]/Library/Cache. Once as your delete them a new one will be created.

4) Web History

A large web history will mean your web browser will have to load it during start up. A big history can slow this down. Delete really old entries to speed up browsing. Disable it all together for an even quicker load.

5) Reduce Firefox Extensions

The more extensions you have the more RAM your computer uses. Delete and uninstall Firefox extensions you don’t use.

6) Optimize Firefox

You can speed up Firefox by changing a couple of settings in the about:config page. Open it up and add the following values. Use the search bar at the top to search for these values and change them appropriately.

network.http.pipelining = True
network.http.proxy.pipelining = True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 8

You can find more Firefox settings here.

7) Reduce Mailbox Sizes

A massive mailbox (1,000 + messages) will take longer to load, this is because Mail has to read the large database and message files associated with it. Split large mailboxes down into folders and smaller mailboxes.

Check Mail Less Frequently

If you set Mail to check every minute you put a lot of load on your Internet connections as well as your computer. Increase the time it takes to check for messages to give your Mac a break.

9) Delete Unused RSS Feeds

Since Mail (and other RSS readers) can show RSS feeds you may end up collecting a lot of feeds. Delete any old and feeds you don’t read to increase performance. You can find my RSS feed here.

10) Remove Previous Recipients

If you message a lot of people Mail adds all of these addresses to a list. Removing any unused emails in Window > Previous Recipients can speed up Mail.

11) Delete Duplicate Fonts

In font book delete any duplicate fonts in font book to reduce errors and enable your Mac to speed up when using fonts.

12) Delete Any Unused Fonts

If you have hundreds of fonts which you don’t use, asking for them in applications will slow down your Mac. Deleting them will save your computer time.

13) Validate Fonts

Validate your fonts to make sure they are correct. Like most items in this list, speeding up your Mac means removing anything that is corrupt. Font validation is under the File menu item in Fontbook.

14) Remove Old Events In iCal

Similar to the history tip in your web browser. Go through your old events in iCal and delete them. It will save iCal time when it has to load.

15) Reduce iCal Subscriptions

This, again, is similar to the RSS feed tip. In iCal delete any unused subscriptions that you don’t use. Although it may not take up a lot of remove removing it will save just that little bit of RAM.

16) Rebuild A Mail Box

Along the lines of corruption once again if you have a Mail box that is getting bloated and it is slowing down you may need to rebuild it. Under the Mailbox menu item when you have selected your mailbox is the Rebuild option. Use this to rebuild your mail database.

17) Remove Smart Playlists In iTunes

All of that scripting in the smart mailboxes can cause iTunes to open and run slowly. Delete any unused smart mailboxes and give iTunes a break.

18) Delete iTunes Songs

If you have millions of iTunes songs it has to put all that information into its preference file. Remove any usused songs to reduce the size of the files iTunes uses to load.

19) Remove iTunes Plugins

Going along the same vein as the Firefox plugin tip. Delete any unused iTunes plugins. Delete them by removing the files from the iTunes plugin folder.

20) Empty The Trash

Give your Mac fewer items to track by deleting the Trash. Trash files are stored in numerous locations on your disk. Emptying the Trash will save disk space and gain you a small amount of speed when opening Finder.

21) Remove Any Languages Your Don’t Use

Your Mac and the applications on it use a lot of different language files. Use a tool like monolingual to remove any language files you don’t use. Please note people have experienced problems with this tip.

22) Remove Startup Items

Remove the number of start up items for your account by removing them. In the Accounts System Preferences Pane, under Login Items delete any items you don’t use.

23) Log Straight In

Every time you Mac starts to bring you the login screen it takes up time to load the accounts screen. If you only use one account set it to log straight into that account under Login Options in the Accounts Preference Pane.

24) Repair Disk Permissions

In Disk Utilities, repair the disk permissions for your Mac disk. Enables improved performance. Not a big one mind, but does help if you have a two year old Mac and have never run this command.

25) Verify Computer Disks

Again under Disk Utilities verify your connected disks. This is to make sure your computer doesn’t bump into any damaged blocks.

26) Test Your RAM

You have been trying to save all RAM with these little tips but you really need to make sure that your RAM is working. Use a tool like memtest to test to make sure it works.

27) Quit Unused Programs

Mac’s have the habit of keeping programs running when you hit the close button on any window. Close any unused programs by Command + Tabbing through your open applications and closing them. You can save a lot of unused RAM this way.

28) Remove Unused System Preference Panes

All those extra system preference panes have to be loaded into your computers RAM when it is opened. If you don’t use them delete them. Right click on any unused Preference Pane and select Remove.

29) Switch Off Universal Access, Bluetooth, Speech Recognition, and Internet Sharing

All handy little tools that can improve features on your Mac but if you are not using them they are taking up RAM which could be used by other computers. Go into all of your preference panes and switch off any features you don’t need.

30) Close Widgets

Widgets can be the biggest memory hogs of all. Close any widgets your don’t use. You will be surprised in the amount of RAM you can save. If you are interested you can find my widget here.

31) Disable Dashboard

If you don’t use Dashboard at all you can save your login by disabling it. Although Dashboard doesn’t run until it is called for you can save some time during login with this simple little snippet.

defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
killall Dock

Change the YES to NO to reverse the effect.

32) Clean Your Hard Drive

All of that clutter takes up space. As well as this it also takes up time when searching through it using Spotlight. Go through you Mac and delete anything you don’t use. Your Mac needs about 10% for use in swap files and other system processes.

33) Clean Your Desktop

Having lots of shiny icons on your Desktop means you Mac has to render and store lots of shiny icon images. This takes up RAM and disk space. Remove any items off you dashboard you don’t use.

34) Turn Off Icon Previews

If you have a lot of items in a folder, Finder has to open up every single file and render and icon preview. Turn this off by right clicking in a folder, select Show View Options and then uncheck Shown Icon Preview.

35) Switch Off Image Rotation Desktop

Having a desktop which changes every 5 minutes is neat but it takes up CPU cycles that you don’t have to lose. Turn this option off in the Desktop sections of the preferences.

36) Let Preview and Quicklook Open Files

If you need to look into files a lot use programs like Quicklook, Preview and Textedit to open them. This will save a lot of time and enable you to speed up how you work. You don’t need to open a big bulk text editor to look at one line in a text document.

37) Remove Animations

Eye candy like this is all well and good but if you want your computer to run quicker disable it in the Preferences, you computer will start to run quicker.

38) Remove Menubar Items

These items can suck down memory and CPU cycles like they are going out of fashion. Remove any ones you don’t want by Command + dragging icons off the menu bar.

39) Skip Disk Image Verification

Most disk images work as planned. The Internet at the moment doesn’t seem to drop many packets of data. You can turn off the checking disk image message by typing the following line into Terminal.

com.apple.frameworks.diskimages skip-verify TRUE

Change True to False to re-enable disk image verification.

40) Update Printer Drivers

Old printer drivers can take up a lot of unwarranted CPU time and RAM. Head over to your printers driver page or search Google to finder the latest printer driver.

41) Keep Applications Up To Date

There couple of a massive memory bug in your favourite application which can slow it down and make it unresponsive. Use Software Update or AppFresh to keep up with the latest release.

42) Remove Unused Perhiperals

Firefire disk, USB devices etc can cause slow downs since your Mac has to access these devices every so often. Remove anything you don’t use by unplugging them.

43) Use Bokeh To Freeze Applications

Bokeh is my favourite application if I want to squeeze slightly more juice out of a program. It will freeze any background applications from running enabling you to get more CPU cycles out of the ones you are using.

44) Speed Up Dialogue Boxes

A cool animation effect runs when you open and close dialogue boxes. If you want to decrease the animation time of these run this Terminal command so you can save a couple of milliseconds.

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSWindowResizeTime 0.01

The default is 0.2 if you want to change it back.

45) Enable A Solid Background Wallpaper

Ones of those speed freaks if you disable a wallpaper picture and just have a colour you can save your Mac from loading that image. You will probably not notice the difference.

46) Remove Safari Favicons

Although I haven’t seen a big increase in speed with this tip others have. Open up [name]/Library/Safari/Icons and drag this to the trash.

47) iPhoto Thumbnail Size

Use a default thumbnail size for your iPhoto icons. Default sizes are created when iPhoto imports and image. Using a none default size means iPhoto has to resize the thumbnails.

48) Turn Off iPhoto Shadows

Turn off the shadows which iPhoto adds to every image. The extra processing time can be saved and used for something else.

49) Delete iPhotos Trash

Similar to your Macs normal Trash, delete the iPhoto one so it doesn’t have to store the information and track it every time you open iPhoto.

50) Store Aperture Photos In Their Original Location

When importing files into the Aperture library set them to be stored in their original location and not in the Aperture Library file. The Aperture Library file can quickly expand if you don’t keep a tight hand on what you insert into it.

51) Turn Off iDisk Syncing

If you have an iDisk or what ever it is called you could speed up your Mac by turning off your iDisk when you really don’t use it.

52) Learn Shortcuts

You can speed up how you work by learning computer shortcuts. Shortcuts are a lot quicker than going through the menus. A good tool is Keycue.

53) Make Applescripts

On the same line of number 52 you can speed up what you do by making Applescripts and workflows for common tasks. If you do the same task every day, it may be quicker to run an Applescript.

54) Add Cron Tasks

If you do a lot of system tasks and you know a lot about cron and Terminal you could added system tasks to your cron tab. This will enable you to run system tools automatically with out the need for user input.

55) Use A Wired Mouse

A bluetooth mouse is cool, but using bluetooth means it can lag behind. When you are low on battery it makes you work slower because you have to move the mouse more.

56) Use A Wired Keyboard

If you are a speed typer you will want a wired keyboard. If a wireless keyboard lags it makes you slow down, losing you time.

57) Check Your Processor Performance Setting

Under System Preferences > Energy Saver > Options, there may be an option to change how fast you processors run to save power. If your computer is slowing right down this option could be the problem. Turn it back up to get the most juice out of your Mac. Turning it up will use more energy and reduce battery time on laptops.

58) Turn Off File Vault

Encrypting your user folder is a good idea if you have a laptop, but most people don’t need it turned on. By having it on your computer has to work harder to decrypt the information. Turn it off under System Preferences > Security > File Vault.

59) Use LAN Instead Of Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is great for places where cables wont reach, but it tends to be a lot slower. Use LAN when you can. Installing a new LAN cable instead of using Wi-Fi will enable you to have massive improvements when using your home network.

60) Upgrade Your Network Architecture

If you are using an old 10Mbit LAN network it is really slow. Upgrade your network components to run at 1Gbit which all new Mac support. With a new faster network your will definitely see a big speed improvement.

61) Upgrade Your Internet

Although this wont be a viable option for most people. If you can get the fastest internet option available. A lot of things use the internet on your Mac, the faster your internet is the quicker these jobs will complete.

62) Upgrade Your RAM

I’ve mentioned many times about saving RAM. One of the biggest speed improvements is to add more RAM. The more RAM you have the quicker your Mac will run.

63) Buy A Fast Hard Drive

A hard drive with a faster access time will enable your computer to run quicker. This is because it will take less time for your computer to find the applications it needs. This may only be an option for people running on iMacs and Mac Pro’s.

64) Buy An SSD Hard Drive

The fastest hard drive you can buy at the moment is a solid state hard drive. These have really fast access times. If you can splash the cash you may want to think about buying one of these.

65) RAID Your Hard Drives

Another speed tip for people with a lot of hard drives. Set you computer to be a strip RAID. Use the RAID Utility under Utilities in the Applications folder.

66) Upgrade Your Video Card

Most slow downs are visual. If you have a fast video card your Mac can render your screen quicker making your Mac appear to run quicker.

67) Switch Off Application Preferences

A lot of programs have preferences which make your programs look good but increases the time it takes for programs to open and run. Go through your commonly used programs in the preferences and turn off anything your don’t use.

68) Stop Using Classic Apps

A very big speed tip can be found if you stop using old classic OS 9 apps and finder a new alternative. There are hundreds of Mac OS X apps out there so there should be no reason for using them.

69) Find Shortcuts For Your Apps

If you do a certain method of opening a folder or file their may be a quicker way. Use Google or a search program to try and find a quicker way of doing something. You could save yourself a couple of seconds speeding up how you work.

70) Overclock Your Computer

A very dangerous way of speeding up your computer. But if you do want to get a little bit more juice out of your computer you may want to overclock it. There are plenty of tutorials on the Internet. A quick search will reveal them.

71) Keep Your Mac Cool

When you CPU cores heat up your Mac may automatically slow them down to preserve the life of the CPU. If you keep you Mac cool with clear vents you can keep it running at full speed.

72) Reboot

After a while your computer may start to collect a lot of junk in the RAM. The quickest method of getting rid of it is to reboot your computer and start a fresh.

73) Clean Your Computer

A dirty computer will mean that your make Mac runs hotter. As a result your computer will compensate by slowing down processes to increase the life of it components. Clean out your Mac by taking it apart and using an anti-static cloth. Consult Apples website for more information. Image courtesy of tips4pc.

74) Turbo Charge Your Mouse

You can speed up how quicker your mouse tracks by using a terminal command line.

defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling some_number

The highest value that a mouse can track at is 3, through a normal way. You can try and increase this to 5 or 6 for a starting point. To revert it back insert a number lower than 3 or use the Preference Pane.

75) Turbo Charge A Trackpad

You can use the same method to turbo charge a laptop trackpad. The max speed for a trackpad is 1.5 through a Preference Pane so you may want to change some_number to 2 or 3.

defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling some_number

76) Use A Seperate Drive For Large Files

The Mac file system HFS is a fickle system for fragmentation of large files. Defragging is not recommend for your Mac system since it breaks system file hot clustering, but it can speed up large files. So for a quick file access put large video files on a separate disk to speed up access time to these files.

77) Kill Background Processes

I have mentioned earlier that you should kill any programs you are not actively using. Another speed tip to get the most out of your Mac is to kill any background processes. Open up Activity Monitor and quit any processes you don’t need. Be careful because some processes you shouldn’t quit. Only end the ones you know.

78) Optimize GarageBand Response Times

In the GarageBand Preferences change the optimization time. A small buffer will enable you to listen to tracks sooner.

79) Lock GarageBand Tracks

Lock GarageBand tracks in the main window so you can’t change their settings. This takes the load off your CPU and RAM and puts it on the hard drive enabling your computer to do something else.

80) Hide The Track Mixer In Garage Band

Turn off the track mixer during playback. This frees up CPU when playing back tracks.

81) Combine Tracks In GarageBand

Combine finalized GarageBand tracks so your computer doesn’t have to keep track of these music tracks.

82) Clear PRAM (Intel Macs)

Although people haven’t found any speed increase, this little trick will clear out any RAM gremlins allowing your computer to boot quicker. Restart you Mac and hold Command + Option + P + R and let your computer chime three to four times.

83) Set Big Packets On Your Network

The size of your data packets on your network will enable more data to be sent at once. Open up Network in System Preferences. Hit the Advance button and click on Ethernet. Set the MTU to Jumbo and the Duplex to full duplex, flow control. This will enable bigger packets to flow over your network. You will have to do this for all your computers for best effect.

84) Use Quicksilver

Quicksilver is designed to enable you to work quicker on your computer. Install it and do your every day actions quicker. Once as you learn how it works and how to use it you will never be without it.

85) Let Unix Scripts Run

Your computer has a couple of built in Unix scripts for cleaning up your Mac. Keep your Mac on during the night on a Saturdays and the first day of the month so it can run its scripts.

86) Remove Services

If you have a lot of services in the services menu this take up RAM and time to load. Remove the ones you don’t use with a tool like Service Scrubber.

87) Clean Your Dock

Many people have found that a full dock has caused there computer to run slower. Clean it out by removing unused applications or stacks.

88) Block Ads With Firefox

Let web pages load quicker by blocking adverts. A lot of bandwidth, CPU and RAM is wasted with this extra content that you may not use. Use Adblock Plus for the best browsing experience.

89) Use Onyx To Run System Tasks

Use the computer program Onyx to run maintenance tasks to keep you Mac clean. One quick tip, only do tasks which you understand.

90) Use Tinker Tool

You can use Tinker Tool to remove parts of your computer that you don’t use. This can save you RAM since it doesn’t have to load and rendered by your computer. By careful before you use this tool and understand what you are doing.

91) Use MainMenu To Access Maintenance Scripts

Use a tool like MainMenu to access maintenance scripts which you can use to clean out your Mac on a daily basis.

92) Use A Smaller Screen

Having a massive 30inch monitor is nice and cool, but you computers graphics card has to render a lot of information. Use a smaller screen to free up your graphics card for other tasks.

93) Use Speed Freak To Prioitize Apps

Speed Freak can take your Mac applications and prioritize the order they are run. This enables you to give more CPU time to certain applications. The default on your Mac is that every application has the same CPU time.

94) Remove Shadows

For Tiger only, ShadowKiller can remove your shadows on your computer so you computer doesn’t have to render them. Save CPU, GPU and RAM. May look a bit funny though if you are used to shadows all this time.

95) Buy A Faster Mac

If you want a quicker Mac the best method is to buy as faster Mac. With these tips you will never make a Mac Mini into a Mac Pro, the only way of doing that is to buy a Mac Pro.

96) Learn To Touch Type

One of the biggest speed tips can be yourself. If you are a really slow typer you can save a lot of time by learning to touch type. There are hundreds of tutorials on the web about learning to touch type. Stop looking at the keyboard and learn where the keys are. Even better would be to learn Dvorak.

97) Reduce Finder Icon Size

In your Finder Window$ if you have massive icons, it means your computer has to render a massive amount of information. Reduce the size of the icons through the Show View Options.

98) Disable Spotlight For External Drives

Using Spotlight can be a major hog on resources. You can switch off Spotlight for external drives by adding it to the list under the Spotlight option in System Preferences.

99) Read Mac Tricks And Tips

The best tip of them all. If you want to keep up to date with the latest speed tips, read this website. I regularly post tips to speed up your Mac and make it as fast as possible.

sumber dari : http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2008/08 … e-mac.html

would not be able to do otherwise. This is great for customizing your Mac and unveiling hidden features. It is also

a good way to destroy you system because you screwed something up.

What I have done is crawl the web look of the Top 50 Terminal commands. These commands are designed to make you make

look cooler, act quicker or be generally useful. I have tried to keep commands down to one line, so they are simple

and effective to use. Each item will include a description of what it does as well as an appropriate picture is

necessary. Many of these commands appear as seperate posts all over the web, but never in one big list. I have tried

to keep the amount of sudo commands down to a minimum as this can easily destroy your system. Especially if you go

sudoing every thing. I have tried to give the best description I can, if you have a problem leave a comment and I

will see if I can solve it. The list is in no particular order. Most of the commands can be reverted by replacing

YES with NO and 1 with 0, the opposite. Most of these commands are Leopard compatible and many may not work on

Tiger. Try them and see what happens.

1) 2D Dock

This quite a popular hack for the people running Leopard and don’t like the 3D feel. It changes the 3D dock to a

flat 2D version. To enter copy and past the following code.

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES
killall Dock

2) Gradient Behind A Stack Item

One of my favourite hacks that enables you to put a small gradient behind an icon. I think this should be enabled by

default.

defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES
killall Dock

3) Add A Message To The Login Window

This little Terminal command enables you to add a message of your choice to the Login window. Pretty cool and

deserved a screenshot if I new how to take on while not logged in. Warning it’s a sudo command which can be

dangerous.

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText “Your Message”

Replace “Your Message” with the message of your choice, don’t make it to long. If you want to revert it do the

following.

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText “”

4) Add An Exposè Button To The Desktop

If you have reconfigured the F9 and F10 keys to something different you may want to use exposè. This hack adds a

bigish blue button onto the desktop to enable you to use exposè. Clicking on it shows all the Window$ from one

application (F10 default), option clicking it shows all Window$ (F9 default).

defaults write com.apple.dock wvous-floater -bool YES
killall Dock

5) Address Book Debug Menu

If you have some trouble with Address Book it may be useful to open up the debug menu as well as this use some of

the hidden features. Make sure address book is closed first before applying the code. If you want to revert it

remove YES in the string.

defaults write com.apple.addressbook ABShowDebugMenu -bool YES

6) Increase Dock Magnification Size

This little hack lets you increase the size of the magnification of the dock icons. Don’t go past 512.

defaults write com.apple.dock largesize -int 512

7) Increase Desktop Icon Size

If you want massive icons on you desktop this little hack lets you increase the icons to 512 pixels x 512 pixels.

This is massive, may slow down on older machines. I don’t think it goes larger than 512.

defaults write com.apple.finder DesktopViewOptions -dict IconSize -integer 512
killall Finder

Changing the Format Of Screen Shots

If you use the screen shot function, you may want to change the format of the images, this is not easily done

normally. Where jpg is in the code you can change this to the format your want, png bmp gif etc. You need to log out

and back in again, or restart for the changes to take effect.

defaults write com.apple.screencapture type jpg

9) Change The Login Picture

If you get a bored of the space picture used on the login screen, you can change it with this little bit of code.

Change the file location in the second half of the string to the exact file location of your chosen picture.

defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow DesktopPicture

10) Change The Loading Bar In Safari To A Pie Chart

This is a Safari 3 hack, so it might not work. This changes the blue bar that goes across the address bar into a

small blue pie chart. Insert false instead of true to reverse.

defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugUsePieProgressIndicator -bool true

11) Clear The Open With Menu

If you right click on a file you can open it with many applications. Sometimes your OS can get a little confused and

list many applications. This is to clear this list and start again. The code below is all on one line.

/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister
-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

12) Change The Delay When Dragging Window$ In Spaces

This simple hack changes the delay time it takes to drag Window$ around in spaces, its currently set to 0.75

defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -float 0.5

13) Disable Dashboard

If you don’t want or like the dashboard running you can disable it. Change YES to NO to enable it again.

defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
killall Dock

14) Enable Double Scroll Arrows

This little hack enables the double arrow set for up and down, left or right, to be at both ends of the scroll bar.

Handy if you like the double arrows. Use System Preferences to reset.

15) Disable Tooltips In Safari

This quick little hack for Safari that removes the tooltips you get when you hover over certain elements.

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips 0

16) Increase The Dock Size

sliders in System Preferences to reduce this size. Don’t go larger 256.

defaults write com.apple.dock tilesize -int 256

17) Disable the Crash Dialog Box

This disables the quit dialog box when an application crashes. Type prompt to enable again.

defaults write com.apple.CrashReporter DialogType none

18)Drag A Widget Onto The Desktop

Probably one of the coolest hacks. This command enables widgets to be placed onto the desktop. Drag a widget around

and press F12 to drag it onto the desktop. Repeat the process again to drag a widget back onto the dashboard. This

may need you to log off or restart for it to take effect.

defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES

19) Enable Debug Menu In Safari

Adding debug menus to programs is great as you can access a whole range of features. This one is for Safari.

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

20) Enable The Path View In Finder

One of may favourite hacks as it lets you see the current path of the Finder window you are in. Its great if you

work with a lot of Window$.

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES

21)Enable Time Machine On Unsupported Drives

Another favourite hack of mine, simply because it enable Time Machine to work on unsupported drives such as a NAS.

Use with caution as it is unsupported.

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

22) Enable Web Inspector

This is a very detailed web inspector that enables you to find out specific information about a page. It is

accessible through the debug menu but this enables you to use it without. You can quickly access it through

right-click.

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitDeveloperExtras -bool true

23) Enable Debug in iCal

Another debug menu (I like debug menus) this time its for iCal. You need to restart iCal for the changes to take

effect.

defaults write com.apple.iCal IncludeDebugMenu YES

24) Enable Quit In Finder

This is a very useful command for anyone who does a lot of fiddling and needs to quit Finder.

defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem -bool YES
killall Finder

25) Force Mail To Display In Plain Text

If you have problems with HTML emails or you just want emails to be displayed in plain text use the following

command. You need to restart Mail for the changes to take effect. Replace with false to revert.

defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE

26) Increase Time Machine Backups

If you do a lot of work on you Mac, and you want time machine to back up more frequently you need to change the

value. It is in seconds. The default is set to an hour which is 3600. Change this value to suit, half and hour is

1800 seconds.

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto StartInterval -int 1800

27) Kill A Process

Sometimes you just need a process to stop running. If you want to kill it in Terminal with out using Activity

Monitor, find the process ID (In Activity Monitor) and then use the following command. Only really useful if you

don’t like much clicking or are writing a program.

kill PID 478

28) Let Terminal Talk

If you are bored one day you can get Terminal to quickly talk anything back to you using the voice engine. Replace

hello with anything you want.

29) Make Hidden Applications Icons Transparent

If you hide a lot of applications you can make there icons transparent in the dock. A very good visual clue.

defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add ‘{ “tile-data” = { “list-type” = 1; }; “tile-type” =

“recents-tile”; }’

32) Change The Arrows In iTunes

Normally the arrows in iTunes link to the music store, adding this command enables you to search your library. You

need to click on the song first for the arrows to appear.

defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES

33) Pin The Dock To The Left

This command pins the dock to the left hand side of the screen. I’m not sure what happens if you have the dock on

the left or right edge. Replace start with middle to revert.

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string start

34) Pin The Dock To The Right

Exactly the same as above except it pins the dock to the right hand side of the screen.

defaults write com.apple.dock pinning -string end

35) Play Star Wars Episode IV

Using a simple telnet address you Terminal will connect in and play Star Wars Episode IV in its ASCII glory.

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

36) Quicklook A File

Quicklook is a great little application in Leopard. The command lets you quicklook a file right in Terminal. First

you need to change the folder by using the “cd” command and then the folder you want. To enable this command to work

you need to type the file name exactly.

qlmanage -p “Jaguar Aqua Graphite.jpg”

37) Disable The Spotlight Icon

This command removes the spotlight icon. Type 755 to re-enable it, instead of 0.

killall Spotlight

38) Remove The Stripes In List View

A simple hack that removes the alternating stripes in list view in finder.

defaults write com.apple.finder FXListViewStripes -bool FALSE
killall Finder

39) Turn The Menu Bar White

If you don’t like the menu bar in its cool transparent glory you can change it so it appears white. This requires a

password and you will need to restart you mac.

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer ‘EnvironmentVariables’ -dict

‘CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE’ 1

40) Turn The Menu Bar Grey

If you don’t like the white version of the menu bar you can change it so it appears gret.

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer ‘EnvironmentVariables’ -dict

‘CI_NO_BACKGROUND_IMAGE’ 0

41) Revert The Menu Bar Back To Default

If you prefer the transparent menu bar and you want it back type the following into Terminal.

sudo defaults delete /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.WindowServer ‘EnvironmentVariables’

42) Set The Expanded Print Dialogue As Default

If you want access to a lot of the extra print menus on by default you can use the following command to enable you

to do this. Requires restart.

defaults write -g PMPrintingExpandedStateForPrint -bool TRUE

43) Set The Expanded Save Dialogue As Default

Similar as the print dialogue this sets the save dialogue to the expanded view as default. Requires restart.

defaults write -g NSNavPanelExpandedStateForSaveMode -bool TRUE

44) Set The Screen Saver As The Wallpaper

This command sets the currently selected screen saver as the desktop background. Use command + c or . to stop while

in Terminal. Alternatively you can use wallsaver.

/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine

-background

45) Set The History Limit In Safari To A Number Of Items

If you don’t want a massive history you can set it to a limited number of items. Change the number to suit.

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryItemLimit 2000

46) Set The History Limit In Safari To A Number Of Days

Similar to the hack above you can set the number of days Safari keeps its history.

defaults write com.apple.Safari WebKitHistoryAgeInDaysLimit 30

47) Show Hidden Files In Finder

A lot of the files in Finder are hidden. This is probably a wise choice by Apple as there are countless things you

can screw up. But if you want to take a look at how many there are and what they are you can show them within

Finder. Be careful as these files are needed by the system, if you screw something up don’t come complaining. Repeat

the command with false to revert. The image above, click for larger version, show the amount of files there actually

is, with these hidden there is only 4 shown normally.

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

48) Skip Disk Image Verification

If you want to save some time you can skip the disk image verification for a disk image. Potentially risky as a

whole load of things could go wrong without you knowing.

com.apple.frameworks.diskimages skip-verify TRUE

49) Show SubFolders In Graphical Format In Terminal

This is a very cool little hack that enables you to show an ASCII graphical view of sub folders. Use the cd command

to change to a directory other wise the command will list every folder. For more information look here.

ls -R | grep “:$” | sed -e ‘s/:$//’ -e ‘s/[^-][^\/]*\//–/g’ -e ’s/^/ /’ -e ’s/-/|/’

50) Speed Up Dialogue Boxes

Most dialogue boxes have a cool animation effect that looks cool. If you want to speed this up you can change the

speed at which is renders so it appears almost instantly. The default is 0.2.

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSWindowResizeTime 0.01

Thats 50 top Terminal commands, I wanted to go to 100 but I couldn’t find 100 good commands

punya NPWP bebas fiskal

Pemegang NPWP bebas fiskal? Selain membawa bukti kepemilikan NPWP, perhatikan syarat-syarat kelengkapan dokumen sebelum Anda berangkat ke luar negeri, agar Anda tidak kecewa.

Ditjen Pajak telah menetapkan tarif fiskal bagi yang tak memiliki Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak (NPWP) sebesar Rp 2,5 juta untuk setiap orang yang bepergian ke luar negeri dengan menggunakan pesawat udara. Sementara via angkutan laut bagi yang tak memiliki NPWP akan dikenai fiskal Rp 1 juta.

Pembayaran Fiskal Luar Negeri (FLN) itu merupakan pembayaran angsuran Pajak Penghasilan (PPH) yang dapat dikreditkan terhadap PPH yang terutang pada akhir tahun oleh Wajib Pajak Orang Pribadi (WP OP) yang bersangkutan setelah memiliki NPWP.

Pengenaan fiskal itu berarti naik 150% dibandingkan fiskal via angkutan udara yang saat ini sebesar Rp 1 juta. Sementara untuk via angkutan laut, fiskal berarti naik 100% dari saat ini sebesar Rp 500 ribu. Namun jumlah ini lebih rendah dari usulan semula sebesar Rp 3 juta untuk angkutan via udara.

Menurut siaran pers dari Ditjen Pajak, Selasa (23/12/2008) , ketentuan ini berlaku mulai 1 Januari 2009 untuk WP OP yang berusia 21 tahun. Keputusan ini akan berlaku hingga 31 Desember 2010.

Pengecualian kewajiban membayar FLN bagi WP OP yang bepergian ke luar negeri dilakukan secara otomatif untuk WP OP tertentu dengna cara menerbitkan Surat Keterangan Bebas Fiskal Luar Negeri (SKBFLN).

Pihak-pihak yang secara otomatif bebas fiskal adalah:

Yang bebas SKBFLN adalah:

Bagi WP OP yang bebas fiskal karena memiliki NPWP, maka:

1) Menyerahkan fotokopi kartu NPWP atau Surat Keterangan Terdaftar (SKT) atau Surat Keterangan Terdaftar Sementara (SKTS), fotokopi paspor dan boarding pass ke petugas Unit Pelaksana Fiskal Luar Negeri (UPFLN).

Jika kartu NPWP atas nama Kepala Keluarga, maka anggota keluarga yang akan berangkat ke luar negeri harus melampirkan fotokopi kartu keluarga.

2) Petugas UPFLN menerima dan meneliti fotokopi kartu NPWP/SKT/SKTS, fotokopi paspor dan boarding pass serta fotokopi kartu keluarga, kemudian menginput NPWP pada aplikasi yang tersedia.

3) Apabila NPWP dinyatakan valid, maka petugas UPFLN menempelkan stiker bebas fiskal pada bagian belakang boarding pass yang ditujukan untuk penumpang.

4) Penumpang menyerahkan boarding pass yang telah ditempel stiker Bebas Fiskal kepada petugas konter pengecekan FLN untuk diteliti.

5) Penumpang tujuan luar negeri tetap wajib membayar FLN jika:
