  1. Re:Archive and install on Leopard Upgraders Getting "Blue Screen of Death" · · Score: 1

    Aunt Tillie won't have Application Enhancer installed.

  2. IFR on Bush Administration to Support Nuclear Recycling · · Score: 2, Interesting

    According to Wikipedia, research on the Integral Fast Reactor was cancelled due to non-proliferation. Could the work continue now? To me, it seems quite an achievement, that the waste elements produced by the reactor had half lives of only a few decades.

  3. Re:No garbage collector on Steve Jobs thinks Objective C is Perfect? · · Score: 1

    From the cc man page:
    -fobjc-gc
    Enable garbage collection (GC) for Objective-C objects. The resulting binary can only be used on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and later systems, due to additional functionality needed in the (NeXT) Objective-C runtime.

  4. Re:Causing Panic on A Flu Pandemic? · · Score: 1

    I actually started to feel better...

  5. Re:Piggy-back on installers? on Trojan Using Sony DRM Rootkit Spotted · · Score: 1

    One could still make a dialog box that would mimic the system authentication dialog and report that the installer run by the user made the request. After the user has given the password, the malware could run some setuid program that asks for the password.

  6. Re:What's impressive on Amit Singh's Challenge: Find a Decade-Old Bug · · Score: 1

    on the inside, Classic MacOS became quite possibly the most tangled kludge of an operating system ever produced in its last few incarnations, and I do get the impression that Apple is starting to take OS X down that path, too.

    What makes you say that? Mac OS 9 seemed kludgy even for the user, but what suggests that Apple would develop OS X in a less disciplined manner than NeXT did?

  7. From the duplicate story dept. on Brightest Galactic Flash Ever Detected Hits Earth · · Score: 1

    At least it wasn't on the front page anymore :-)

  8. Re:Yeah Baby! on Trolltech Plans GPL Release For Qt/Mac · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is, however, a port of GTK for OS X at http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/

  9. MS FrontPage in use elsewhere on U.S. Penalizes Ukraine for Abetting 'Piracy' · · Score: 1

    See the homepage of The Iraqi Presidency and especially the HTML source:
