Chibi Ninja 1.1.3 (Mac OS X)

The key (ahem) question is...  

How do I securely communicate the key to the other person? And if I can get the other person the symmetric key securely, why don't I use that method to get him the damn message in the first place? Answer me that, O small and silent emissary of death. :) [alert admin]

Certificate Import 1.2 (Mac OS X)

I'm sorry, I don't see the point...  

...because double-clicking on certificate files in Finder will launch Keychain Access and open the import dialog. Keychain Access already understands PEM and DER encodings. [alert admin]

Mellel 1.5 (Mac OS X)

Solid and simple…  

interface-- but different, and takes a bit of reading the documentation to use effectively. All text characteristics are handled through styles, and styles can be additive; yes, it's not the way Word does it, but it's a better way of handling text. The features implemented are excellent; I prefer to do word processing without bloat, so the minimal feature set is a plus to me. Tables added in this version are very, very slick and far easier to work with than Word. Lacks modifier key navigation (option-up, command-left, etc) but it's promised for 1.5.1. Doesn't handle Word files, but I'm not looking for a Word replacement, I'm looking for a Cocoa AbiWord-- and this rocks AbiWord's world. Finally, I've yet to deal with any software publisher-- shareware, freeware, or commercial-- that is as responsive to user input and requirements. [alert admin]

DivXRay 1.1.4 (Mac OS X)

So rip the…  

DVD with 0sex or DVD backup first. Sheesh. I mean, come on now. The error message pretty clearly states you can't rip from the disk. [alert admin]

DivXRay 1.1.4 (Mac OS X)

Excellent work. "Better"…  

setting is comparable to 3ivX4 PR2 at default settings. Two things I'd want for 5 stars: 1) Cropping. I hate black bars. A preview and wizard like MacMPEG2Decoder would be perfect. 2) One or two more widths. I prefer to encode to 512 width as it provides a more even expansion to full screen width of 1024, and this would make a decent middle point between 480 and 640. Nice to see the stuttering video corrected in the newest CVS of ffmpeg as well. [alert admin]

Caem 3.5 (Mac OS 9)

This won't work…  

as advertised, in general. Apparantly, CAEM attempts to overflow the initial Received: line by sending a string of garbage to the mail server in place of the hostname (part of the HELO/EHLO command). Since the server adds the connection details to this identity string, the idea is the overlong hostname will overflow the string and prevent the server from logging the IP address in the first Received: line. Most servers won't be caught out by this, especially sendmail, postfix, and exim. Others that are may simply crash instead. The Received: line gives me your IP address, and this is all that an network abuse department flak would need to trace the connection to a particular user. A "whois" program will tell me who owns the netblock so I can find an abuse contact. I can get the information with a subpoena, or the abuse department will usually terminate the account--subject to the particular terms of service--so I don't need it. A private user can sometimes do the same, by scanning USENET groups for postings containing the same IP address posted at roughly the same time (re: NNTP-Posting-* headers), or similarly looking for other non-anonymouse emails sent to archived lists. Google is great for both techniques. As an aside, I know how this works because I used to be an email and usenet administrator for a large global ISP; part of my work there involved *creating* an abuse department from scratch. NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR AN ANONYMOUS REMAILING SERVICE. Anonymous remailers don't obscure the initial Received: header, they *eliminate* it by *remailing* the email--hence the name. This creates a new initial Received: header pointing to the remailer, and the original is discarded. Remailers keep no logs, so even the connection data stored in the log isn't available, even under subpoena. In short, this provides no real anonymity, [alert admin]

Great Idea!  

I've gotten a couple of reports of this. It seems platform-dependent; if anyone having this problem can run the delicious2csv,py script that's in the bundle from Terminal and email me the output, it would be most helpful.
