    Ok, let's follow the logic.

    First you say "I am really tired of seeing PDA's that are being crammed into a phone. It really doesn't work. The phone ends up being to big".

    You complain that the phone is too big but you want to put a phone into one of the largest PDAs?

    BTW, being forced to use a headset sucks. It is a pain in the ass to always carry around and if you don't have one then your phone effectively isn't a phone.

    Uh huh. Painted yourself inito a corner didn't you?

    I never said "SHOW ME CODE".

    Then I said "So show me how to make a RAM Disk without a script? and I mean any script. No code anywhere."

    And you replied with code that I can't test. Smart. Still you were showing no proof.

    Then I said "I'm still waiting for you to do the same. Anyway, if you ever decide to actual prove something you can make a ton of money off your code. Some other genius is charging $25 for a ram disk under OS X. So until you actually prove anything then shut the fuck up."

    And you replied "hditutil create -fs hfs+ -size (something) ram://(something)"

    then I replied with you screaming at me "I'm telling you that NO SCRIPT IS NECESSARY YOU FUCKING SHITHEAD."

    Bottom line is that you since you are obviously more knowledgable about linux and coding in C than I am, you tried to prove how smart you are rather than simply answer the question.

    In the beginning, since you know more about C and linux than I do, you choose to act like an asshole rather than friend and try to explain things to me and show me any problems with the script.

    I can create the RAM Disk in a script but most people don't want to do that. they would rather use an AppleScript so I pieced one together.

    Next time try not to be such a condescending & arrogant asshole.

  18. RAM Disk in OS X and how to move Safari's cache on Safari 1.0 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    70% of this code isn't mine, but found I bits everywhere.

    The first part is a AppleScript. It does a few things. First it creates the RAM disk. Then it renames the RAM disk. Then it automatically starts Safari. The reason why I have it start Safari is to ensure the RAM disk is up and running at login before Safari is launched.

    Where you see the line "set diskSize to 40" sets the RAM disk's size. 40 is 40 Megs. Simply change that to whatever size you want.

    Copy and paste the script into the script editor, Save it as "application" and be sure to uncheck the box "Never show startup screen".

    tell application "Finder"
    activate
    set diskSize to 40
    set diskSize to diskSize * 2048
    do shell script "hdid -nomount ram://" & diskSize
    set dskImg to the result
    set prevTextDelims to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"/"}
    set myDevDisk to the last text item of dskImg
    set myShellCmd to "/sbin/newfs_hfs /dev/r" & myDevDisk as text
    do shell script myShellCmd
    do shell script "hdiutil mount /dev/" & myDevDisk
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to prevTextDelims
    end tell

    delay (1)

    tell application "Finder"
    set name of item "untitled" to "RAM Disk"
    end tell

    tell application "Safari"
    launch
    end tell

    Here is how you move Safari's cache to the RAM Disk.

    Close Safari.
    Open terminal.
    Run this command -

    ditto -rsrc ~/Library/Caches/Safari "/Volumes/RAM Disk/"

    Then delete the folder "your home/library/caches/safari"

    Run this command -

    ln -s "/Volumes/RAM Disk" ~/Library/Caches/Safari

    That will create the link between the RAM disk and your safari cache folder.

    That's it. Works perfectly and much much faster.

    You will have to run the applescript at login.

    You only have to run the terminal commands once.

    It gets easier after the first couple years.

    Exactly.

    But only because tens of thousands of programmers work for those couple of years to make it easier.

    And if someone dedicates hours per day to learn and master linux for those couple years.

    Not very many people want to do that.

    The average Joe or Jane can be productive and self-supported with OS X in a few days if not sooner.

    That is what will always hold linux back. Programmers who think "linux is easy. Just sacrifice your free time for a few years and then linux is very user-friendly."
