How do you make a Mac not sleep?
Use the Energy Saver section of the System Preferences.
Interesting
RubyMine 749 is out. Many of the existing bugs have been fixed, but a few new ones have been found. Notably, running specs with a “#” character in the describe string has problems.
The USPS has a nifty web service for addresses. The zip code lookup (which gives you zip+4) and the address standardization services were found to be useful.
Or use (caffeine)[http://lightheadsw.com/caffeine/] for a temporary ‘fix.’

[Caffeine](http://lightheadsw.com/caffeine/) is a simple and great OS X app for enabling and disabling sleep from the task bar.
Great for presentations and watching long YouTube videos ;)
