I'm looking for a shell where I can test shellscripts and a programs on a Mac.
What I'm looking for, is something like bshellz.net but with Apple computers (i.e. Macs). Is there such thing available?
I was googling for the last few days, but I couldn't find anything.
If you are developing a free software (open source) project, you might be able to request access to the GCC compile farm, which appears to include at least one Mac Mini.
If you're not developing free software, it might be harder to find people willing to donate their CPU and bandwidth to you for free, especially since Mac hardware tends to be a bit expensive and Mac OS X is difficult to virtualize unless you pay half a grand for Mac OS X Server. There seem to be a variety of places which offer colo or dedicated hosting for Mac Minis and XServes, but not a lot of people providing free or cheap shell accounts on shared servers.

I'm new to cross-platform mobile development with Visual Studio, and I'm wondering if it's possible to make IOS apps without connecting VS to an active mac. Seems a bit weird to always have a mac at your disposal, up and running to be able to develop IOS apps. Or maybe that's just how it works. Problem is I don't have a mac.
Is there another way?
That is indeed how it works. You can thank Apple for that. They require iOS apps to be built on Apple hardware.
Many people will use mac providers such as Mac In The Cloud. If you Google services such as that you will find a long list of them.
There is also some hacks you can use to get a Mac running in VMware which have worked for me but that is not suggested as it violates terms of service for Apple and also probably for VMware.

I'm sure most of you heard of Microsoft Virtual Labs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ff640662
You can connect remotely to msdn servers and practice development on vs2010,sql server 2008 R2..etc
Is there something like that in mac world with xcode? I want to practice on development with iphone and take online labs,I don't have a mac for now.
P.S: I think there isn't such a thing in mac world but just wanted to try my luck,hopefully someone might prove me wrong,I searched online but didn't find such a thing.
You can give http://virtualmacosx.com a try. They provide a full online instance of Mac OS X with the Xcode Development Environment pre-installed. It could be a good option for someone looking to experiment with Xcode before taking the plunge on a Mac.
http://www.macincloud.com/ Looks like another option, but I'm not sure how good they are. The Web site is pretty informative though.
The best site I have ever experienced for virtual machines is
Virtual machine
Follow the link and you can see amazing OS in that links
TO try above you need to pay. But it is for free.

I'm a MAC user (not a fan :D) .. and I'm working these days on my graduation project in B.sc degree of Computer Science, and specifically I'm in the design phase. I've looked for CASE tools that should help me on my work, but unfortunately it seems there are no powerful CASE tools available!
could anyone suggest a good tool for me ?
Thanks in advance.
I would look at cross platform tools based on Java, specifically, tools which are based on the Eclipse platform. Eclipse runs really well on OS X, in fact, I believe it works even better than it does on Windows. Not all Eclipse-based tools will run on Mac (for example, Rational will not), but most will.
Look at the Eclipse Marketplace for some popular tools for UML, modeling, etc.
While this is likely to be closed as off-topic, you should see the other closed discussion or Apple's Visio replacement threads.
Summary is:
OmniGraffle for general, commercial diagramming.
Eclipse based tools, as most UML is for writing the bulky Java code.
Web based tools such as GenMyModel and Gliffy.
Any from the long list on Wikipedia.
As always, the exact needs you have will dictate your tool.

The only full-fledged GPL Cocoa editor for GEDCOM 5.5 files (GenerationX) was last released in 2003: http://sourceforge.net/projects/generationx/
It looks unstable under Snow Leopard and would badly need a revamp.
Someone recently posted a proof-of-concept application (unrelated to GenerationX) on Google Code, but it looks like an unmaintained project:
http://code.google.com/p/cocoa-gedcom/
Is there any Cocoa developer interested in genealogy and willing to resurrect any of these projects? Or any other projects with a decent release cycle I am not aware of?
The Mac genealogy software market is dominated by pricy and feature-bloated proprietary solutions. A no-nonsense open source GEDCOM-compliant framework for Mac OS would be a blessing.
Did you check out GRAMPS? (Written in Python, using Gtk. So it doesn't look native on OSX, but works.)
There is MacPAF, but I'm not sure what the status of it is.
If you are still looking into Genealogy-Software, you might want to try the free program "Familienbande".
It's available for Mac and for Windows, free for personal use, supports GedCom and it is well maintained. I only use the German version (the developer is German) but since he has some native speaking US contributors, I assume the English version should also be usable.
The UI needs some getting used to, but for a free program, it is absolutely perfect.
Give it a try under:
http://www.familienbande-genealogie.de/en/index.html

Thomas

When requesting hardware for a WebLogic server, what hardware would best improve its performance? Should I give it lots of memory, CPU, fast hard drives? The OS is going to be Redhat 4 either Standard or Enterprise.
Memory is cheap. Give it as much as you can. 4 gigs is what, $50?
Depends on the applications you deploy on it. It's impossible to answer, given that we know nothing about the apps deployed, the hardware you have, and the myriad settings available on a typical Java EE app server.
More is always better. Supply the most memory, the biggest hard drives, the fastest multicore processors you can afford.
That of course depends a lot on what type of applications you run on the server. I know that our WebLogic portal eats quite a lot of memory (10+ gigs) while other apps make due with a lot less.
