Xcode 4.1 is a 3GB download in one shot. Their server is slow, my internet is slow, and a minor network twitch is going to make me start again from scratch.
Is there another way to download Xcode that doesn't involve 3 hours of HTTP download in one shot?
Download it via a download manager so you can resume your download if it would fail or/and let someone upload it to another mirror which might be faster, or just let a friend or so download it for you and put it on a usb stick.
I have found googling the name of the DMG and looking for .edu sites is a good way. EDU domain sites are generally schools or universities, and have better download speeds for me at least. For xcode 3.2.6, for example, University of California in San Fransisco has the DMG here: http://www.msg.ucsf.edu/local/programs/MacOSX/
I am commenting a while after this was asked because the other answer, while valid, still gives half the download speed that this site does when I test both (not simultaneously) with axel or downthemall.
With axel I can even abort a download at one server if I think I can find better, switch to another server, and enter the same command but with a different URL to the file, and it will resume where it left off, even on a completely different server!
This is the command I ended up using:
http://www.msg.ucsf.edu/local/programs/MacOSX/xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg
But be aware that there are risks - the usual ones, like someone having tampered with the file. Make sure the files are the right size and if you notice anything fishy, look up the DMG's checksum. Generally people have posted their checksums online in troubleshooting threads and such.

A project I worked on 15+ years ago as need additional work. Unfortunately, my build & kit environment has long ago been taken down. I have recreated the build environment but am seeking a boxed, licensed copy of InstallShield 5.5. Does anyone know where I can find one. I have the old .ipr files but updating it to a newer Install Shield has proven very difficult. I just want it to work again and allow me to generate a self extracting .exe. I'm doing this all on an old XP laptop with VS6 and VB6. Everything compiles and links. Just need to create a kit. Thanks for your help
Ideas:
Look on eBay - it typically has lots of obsolete items like this. You can search internationally and also save your search so it will email you when new matches are found. (I don't see any copies on there as of this moment).
Contact the current InstallShield owner - Flexera Software. Maybe they can help you out.
Post on VBForums - possibly someone has a copy they can sell/send/lend you.
Depending on your comfort level, you might find it on a download site / torrent download site. Since you do own a license this seems legit to me, but you need to be careful of malware, etc. (especially since you will presumably distribute the results of this installer build).

I can't seem to find a way to generate documentation for Clojure code on Windows.
Marginalia seems to be broken on all platforms since 1.7 (see here:
https://github.com/gdeer81/marginalia/issues/158).
Codox has an issue
open on this topic (https://github.com/weavejester/codox/issues/110).
The Autodoc plugin for Lein 2 seems to be broken as well (not
enough reputation to post more than two links, but there's an issue
open on this over at GitHub).
Has anyone succeeded in running any of these three on Windows? Should I try something else?
Note:
I do not have a choice here, it must run on Windows.
As I'm building a case for clojure in the company, it must play well with leiningen, which is used to build and test our code.
Another option is autodoc - seems to still be active, but from the README it seems there are no promises it works on windows - still you could give it a try.
I think codox might still be your best bet. It's pretty popular and well maintained (there's only 4 open bugs right now and they're pretty newish - one of which is the one you referenced in your question). So maybe give it some time.
Finally, I know this is probably obvious and not ideal, but you could at least do one-off generations of documentation on a *nix system for the time being.

Can you host demos of open source apps online, similar to how http://php.opensourcecms.com/ does for CMSs? For example, could you host a demo of Open Office for people to try out online? Maybe by connecting to a server that has Windows 7 installed or some Windows 7 simulator. How would you do that if you could?
It would certainly be possible, using something like a combination of remote desktop and virtual servers, however I haven't seen any solution like that.
The main reason for that is of course that it would require a lot of hardware. While a web server can handle thousands of concurrent users, a server running virtual remote sessions would be able to handle something in the range of 10-20 concurrent users.
Being somewhere around 100 times more expensive than running web servers, one can easily see why there is little demand for such technology.
There are various ways in which the visual display and mouse interaction of a Windows app can appear on a user's machine while actually running remotely. Refer to—for instance—the RFB protocol which is used by VNC.
It even appears there are some efforts to embed such remote screens into browsers using Flash. I haven't tried it:
http://flashlight-vnc.sourceforge.net/
As #Guffa points out, this really won't scale very well. But at smaller scales it's important to be aware of: I'm a big advocate of using approaches like this when someone has a niche legacy intranet application written in something like Visual Basic that only a few people use. (Why rewrite something that already works in Ruby-on-Rails or whatever if only 10 people in the world will ever use it?)
At a meta-level, I think dropping users into an app they don't know how to use isn't always the best way of selling it. With pervasive Internet video I think there's a big potential for screencasts to explain and introduce software, or teach them features:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screencast
It shows people what's possible, is easy for them to pass around, and is a lot less of a development/administrative/security effort on your part.

Is there a website or service that I can use to test my mac app store apps? I've seen macdeveloper.net, but being that it costs money I want to make sure that there aren't any other services that are better. Thanks!
I used macdeveloper.net about 2 years ago, for a Mac app (yes, there were Mac apps even before the Mac App Store).
It was a really great experience. Feedback from beta-testers was great, in quality and quantity. It helped me to spot and fix some very subtle bugs. This is great, because I didn't want real users to encounter them.
I find the price asked for the service (less than $20) very reasonable:
Think about how much it will cost you if even one bug is not found until on the App Store, and a user posts a very negative review because of it.
The infrastructure provided to ease your beta-testing phase is great. The time saved was enough to make me feel it was worth it. I prefer to spend my time coding and improving my marketing than to deal with problem someone else resolved better than me
When I had questions, the support was replying very quickly, with great and appropriate answers
...
Have You Tried Using :
https://github.com/CodeFacet/COMBAT + Accessibility Inspector(Developer Tools in XCode)
It's Still under development but a great tool to work with. :)
It's written down in Objective-C, so you can use its libraries inside XCode only along with a Unit Testing Project
So better Test Management and easy Test Case Writing.
PS: It works with Simulators as well so you can even Test IOS Apps

I'm looking for a web application to manage tasks (not necessary programming-oriented) for a small team. It must be easy to setup and maintain, and I don't look for an SaaS solution. It must offer file upload and mail users in case of a change. There is hundred of solutions available but most are too complex for what we want or are not "stable" (not updated since a long time, not very well programmed). i was wondering if stack overflow's folks have some recommendations...
Try:
lighthouse - http://lighthouseapp.com/
-or-
gemini - http://www.countersoft.com/home.aspx
We had a very similar requirement and after much searching we eventually decided on Redmine.
Does all that you require and more. Setup couldn't be easier if you use one of the Bitnami stacks. We went down the virtual image route as we had a VMWare server - but installers for existing platforms are also available.
I tried Basecamp some time ago but I don't need a web based solution. But it was pretty good.
http://basecamphq.com/
Redmine is a great project management, used by many open source projects. It is also quite actively maintained and really stable.
It's worth mentioning that even though Redmine is software oriented, it can easily be used as a project management software. All you have to do is ignore all the parts about repositories and you have a full-fledged project management software.
