Major Problems With Safari

Posted by pudge on from the aieeeeee dept.

kuwan writes "There have been many problems reported with Safari on Apple's discussion boards. The two most prominent are that option-clicking on a link to download can replace your Home folder with the downloaded file, effectively nuking your Home folder. The other has been reported as a printing problem, but is far worse. The printing problem occurs because Safari deletes /tmp, which is a link to /private/tmp."

    Remember when you found out your teachers lied to you about all illegal substances turning you into a zombie or worse?

    <offtopic>Dude, drugs do turn you into a zombie and worse. Hell, there are plenty of legal substances that also turn you into a zombie. If you think you can do drugs (or smoke, or drink, or whatever) and not suffer for it, you're either ignorant or fooling yourself.

    Life is full of compromises. If you want to sacrifice your health, your self-esteem, or your safety for a temporary pleasant sensation, go right ahead. But don't kid yourself into thinking there are no negative side-effects.</offtopic>
