Apple Updates Xcode, Final Cut Pro

iumacboy writes "Hot on the heels of yesterdays Panther 10.3.2 update and today's QuickTime 6.5 and iTunes 4.2 updates, Apple has released Xcode 1.1, Apple's free suite of developer tools for Mac OS X. 'The Xcode 1.1 Update provides overall stability and performance enhancements to Xcode IDE, as well as improvements to debugging, workflow, the Xcode build system, and CodeSense. It is recommended that all Xcode users install this update.' Available via Software Update." Well, earlier today it was available via Software Update; it has since disappeared. However, if you are a Final Cut Pro user, you can get FCP 4.1.1 and LiveType 1.1.1 while you wait for Xcode 1.1 to return. Also, iTunes 4.2 has now appeared in Software Update, too.

    A Recipe for Junis

    Pilaus, rice and meat dishes, are central to any Afghani dinners and I was very interested in trying one. I found several recipes for Qaubili Pilau but chose the original one below because it seemed rather simple. It was pretty good, a dish that certainly grows on you as you keep eating it. It is also a beautiful looking dish, and one that will likely impress your guests.

    The original recipe claims to be for 6-8 people. While this may be so if served as part of a Dastarkhan (an Afghani banquet), it will probably serve no more than 4 if served as a main or only dish. In my version I increased the amount of meat that it calls for - if you use beef or chicken, you probably will need to use less, but lamb is very fatty and not much remains when you trim it of all the outside fat. I also reduced the amount of oil it calls for, but it is still a very fattenning dish. I forewent the optional blanched almonds because I didn't feel like making them, but I think they would have added a nice, crunchy element to the dish. I changed a little the amount of spices required and added garam masala, which I saw as an ingredient in other variations of this recipe.

    Original Qaubili Pilau Recipe from RecipeTroll

    Ingredients:
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 yellow onion, diced
    2 lbs lamb
    1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
    1/4 tsp. ground cloves
    1/4 tsp. ground cardamon
    1/2 tsp. ground cumin
    1/2 tsp. garam masala
    1 tsp. salt
    2 cups water.

    1/4 cup vegetable oil
    2 carrots
    1 tsp. sugar
    1 cup raisins
    1 cup blanched almonds

    2 cups basmati rice
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2 tsp. saffron
    1 cup water

    Directions:
    In a heavy pot, fry the onions until golden brown. Cut the lamb into bite-size cubes and add to the onions. Add salt and spices. Add water. Mix well, cover and cook until the lamb is done.

    Meanwhile cut the carrots into toothpick-size pieces. Fry them on vegetable oil with sugar until tender. Remove from oil. Add raisins to the oil and fry until they swell up. Remove from the oil. Add almonds to the oil and brown. Remove and set aside.

    Once the lamb is done, remove from the water and set aside. Add rice to the remaining lamb stock. Add salt and water. Boil until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.

    Once the rice is done, remove from the pot and put it on a oven-save caserole. Place lamb on top of the rice, cover and cook on 300 degrees for about 20'.

    Serve by placing the lamb on a serving plate, covering it with the rice, and topping it with the carrots, raisins and almonds.

    The building wasn't much more than a tattered amount of plaster and timber but it was
    our main HQ for the time being. The Afghanistan countryside looked almost like back
    home in Arizona. That's where all similarities stopped. My men and I were part of a task
    force to weed out and harvest information from known Talibon sympathizers.
    All of the men with me lost someone dear to them of Sept. 11th. I needed these types of
    men to help me in my objective. Our methods were questionable but extremely effective.
    We already accounted for the discovery of several Talibon strong holds.
    Amat Hussel was a big beefy Turk that spoke the lingo perfectly. Just like a native. His
    wife and son were aboard the plane that struck the first tower.
    The prisoners made their way in. There was always some type of surprise each day.
    Today the Afghani countryside coughed up four women in military attire.
    Amat informed me that they were found trying lay some antipersonnel mines in the
    vicinity of our troops. I told him to ask them the standard questions and as expected the
    prisoners refused.
    I looked around at the men in the room with me. We didn't care about rank in my unit. I
    was in charge, that's all that mattered. I spotted Wingo in the corner. His sister was
    aboard the plane that stuck the Pentagon. Black hair, medium build of Cherokee heritage.
    Ruppenstein was a New Yorker. Red hair, muscular, big guy. His brother was a
    firefighter that went into the trade towers but never came out.
    Duffy was the result of a black and Samoan union. This guy made The Rock look like the
    poster child for anemic disorder. His mother worked in the first tower. She is believed to
    be of the many who jumped to their death rather than to be burned alive.
    I told Amat to order them to remove their headgear. As they did they all revealed long
    beautiful lustrous brown hair. I instructed Amat to convince them that it would be far
    better for them to cooperate. That all the men in this room held little sympathy for them
    or their cause.
    After the translation the first female soldier yelled something then spat on the floor. "You
    don't have to translate that Amat. Wingo lock the doors, Duffy you and the rest help our
    guests off with their clothes."
    Wingo got that small smile on his face "Does this mean that it's -Play time _ Sir?" "I
    believe that we all need a slight break from the routine. Wouldn't you all agree?"
    The lock came down swiftly but not as swiftly as the soldiers did on the prisoners. The
    sound of tearing material was almost as paramount as the screams of the women.
    Duffy had the first prisoner's breasts one in each hand as Wingo held her arms behind her
    back. Each prisoner had her on set of captors and was all in different stages of undress.
    I looked to the far right and saw Amat stuffing his huge dick into the ass of a small
    framed woman. Her rather large tits were flopping out and smacking together as her rode
    her shit hole. She flailed and screamed as did her comrades.
    A third prisoner was sandwiched by the Carson brothers. They lost their father -- a police
    officer that had also entered one of the towers. Their prisoner was trying to scratch and
    kick them but her actions just drove their cocks into both of her orifices that much
    deeper.
    I approached the last prisoner. To my surprise she spoke English. "Let us go! This is not
    part of the Geneva Convention!"
    "Neither are murdering thousands of innocents for your cause you filthy whore." With
    that I ripped open the front of her tunic and out popped the must beautiful pair to DD
    breasts.
    They were extremely firm and had large aureole and stiff nipples. She just stood there
    with her hands on her hips not caring about her naked top.
    "You dogs think that you scare us? Your dicks barely are noticeable."

    The part of the exercise that Amna had most thought about in advance

    became greater after the pain she was feeling between her legs which
    made her feel as if she'd been viciously punched there and then had
    her insides torn out of her. Unfortunately for her, it was actually the
    Afghani girl whom she found herself allocated to making love with,
    while Susan was wrapped up in the body of the Vietnamese girl.
    Amna watched in envy as the Vietnamese girl pushed her tongue deep
    into Susan's anus while Susan responded by pushing her fingers deep
    into her vagina and stroking her clitoris with her thumb.

    The Afghani girl had a skill at making love that somehow
    compensated for the salty taste of her skin which Amna licked with
    badly disguised reluctance. For the first time, Amna felt she was
    getting some pleasure out of the sexual proceedings, as the girl
    tweaked her clitoris in her fingers and licked up the traces of blood
    that had got caught in her hair. It felt quite pleasant to have someone's
    nose deep in the mass of her pubic hair even though it gave her much
    less pleasure to stick her nose into the unpleasant smelling area of the
    Afghani girl's anus which seemed to have as much hair as that around

    Homo-Sexuality Deception of Islam

    1. Though homo-sexuality occurs outside of Islam also, inside
    Islam it configures as its inescapable and integral part and
    the large-scale habitual usage of this practice, by the
    Moslems, is indubitable and indisputable from the history of
    Islam itself. This custom and its usage was shocking to the
    Hindus, of course, but not to the Moslems who, though they
    swear by Allah, did not regard it as a bad thing at all, let
    alone an immoral or an illegal one. Though Islamic
    homo-sexuality is wide-spread, over far-reaching corners of
    Islam, most Hindus do not have a clue about it nor the cause of
    its occcurrence in Islam, because the truth is being submerged
    by the wind-bags of false-hood manufacturers (Moslems,
    Missionaries, and Marxists), who are assisted in their
    nefarious designs by their Phony-Liberal Hindu cronies, who are
    targetting Hindus, to insult and degrade their religion. The
    false-hood manufacturers categorize homo-sexuality (especially
    lesbianism) as a Hindu custom and you can observe a
    demonstration of this in their incessant pyrotechnics on the
    movie "Fire," where even the names assigned to two characters
    in the movie, in a lesbian relationship, are the names of Hindu
    goddesses. The obvious intent is to degrade and desecrate the
    Hindu religion and to humiliate the Hindu. 2. The latest
    entrant to this lesbian controversy is the Allah-Swearing Tamil
    Naidu Moslem Board, that has issued a stern admonition to all
    Moslem women, not to watch the movie "Fire" at all. This
    Allah-Swearing Board has judged that it is "Haraam" for Moslem
    women to watch this film, either in cinema halls, or on TV, or
    in Video players. They state that because of its lesbian theme,
    the movie is contrary to Islam.

    Contrary to Islam? What a suit-case of fiction!

    Lesbianism is not only not contrary to Islam but is a part and
    parcel of Islam and is the veritable product of its Draconian
    Monster laws.

    3. Quran expressly permits Moslems to acquire slaves through
    conquests. In Islam, war is prescribed for a Moslem on
    religious grounds and the concomitant slavery and lesbianism
    have always been integral and inescapable parts of Islamic
    wars, as fringe benefits for the Moslem Jehadis and are,
    therefore, completely conformal with the spirit and teachings
    of Islam. Mohammad recognized slaves as the property of the
    Moslem master and nearly all Moslem Sultans kept a large troupe
    of concubines inside their lavish harems, as permitted by
    Quranic laws. Inside these harems, lesbianism became an
    inescapable custom of choice among the sex-starved occupants of
    the harems, in the dream-house palaces of the Sultans.

    There is nothing like this wrack and ruin that occurred, at any
    time and any where inside the Hindu System, throughout its ten
    thousand year old history.

    4. Islamic monster laws, that belong to the dark ages, and the
    Islamic slave system and its attendant lesbianism, are
    incontestably the product of the principles of Islam and
    represent the great wheels of Islam, in its march towards the
    extermination of the Kafirs (non-Moslem infidels) and their
    Kufr.

    Quran gave a divine sanction to the custom of polygamy and
    concubinage. So, a Moslem can have wives (number limited to
    four) and can supplement them with half-wives or concubines (no
    limit on their number) captured in holy wars (Jehad) as those
    "whom your right hand possesses," perfectly in keeping with the
    laws of Quran. A Moslem, therefore, engages in this activity
    with a clean conscience and religious fidelty.

    This activity and its multiplication was made possible because
    of the fast-growing Islamic Imperialism.

    To say that lesbianism is anti-Islamic (as held by the
    Allah-Swearing Tamil Naidu Moslem Board) is utter non-sense.

    5. As a practical reality, it must be realized that concubinage
    and harems are possible only for th

      No no no NO! You *never* upgrade in the middle of a project, *especially* if you're in the final phases. Unless there is a known bug or limitation that is causing a drop-dead problem, you leave everything exactly as it is, so you have a known, stable build. You don't get new libraies, you don't add that cool new feature, you don't install the latest service pack on the (internal) build machine. You certainly don't upgrade the compiler or IDE.

      The alternative is, in the best case, to have to start the testing cycle over from the beginning.

      Saying this, I will restart my machine now and see if it panics on launch as I have quicktime and xcode installed.

      Seems unlikely that XCode would cause Kernel panics. I don't believe there's any aspect of XCode that actually runs at a level that would cause such a thing.

  13. Buy Apple Stock Because by LinuxMacWin · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Something's up. Per websites, not much speculation about the coming MacWorld. The noise re MacWorld is much lower than years past. Apple has released / patched / upgraded so many product lines in the past quarter. Looks like MacWorld will not have much to demonstrate. Unless Steve wants to talk about the year that was rather than the year to come.

    Or is there something going on. Watching Apple for a long time, I am suspicious.

    Sorry if it is offtopic re Xcode etc., but I think my comments covers what is going on in general than this specific thread.

      Actually, I would disagree (although you are correct that rumor sites haven't really been speculating too much). The reason I would disagree is that Jobs is actually giving the Keynote speech this year. At this past Macworld (the name of which was changed to something else, I believe) he didn't.

      It is true that Apple wanted to break the linkage between product announcements and Macworlds, if only for more flexibility. But if Jobs is giving the keynote, I would imagine that at least something marginally interesting is going to come out.

    Actually, when you enable distributed compile it causes distccd to load at startup. That means, in case you didn't know, that you don't need to keep XCode running on machines that you use for remote compiling.

    It's the same version that was available yesterday [or so Apple claims]. You can either download an updater or a complete installer.

      Ugh. After seeing a message on the xcode-users mailing list, I downloaded the full installer of xcode [previously, I had applied the updater]. It turns out that if you really want your developer tools updated, you need to download the full XCode 1.1 installer. For example, InterfaceBuilder only gets updated to v2.4.1 [from v2.4] using the full installer.

      This seems pretty stupid. I can't imagine any developer wanting just parts of the developer tools updated...and it's not clear which parts the XCode Updater updates [just XCode?].
