Vuze 4.3.0.4 (Mac OS X)
Even though the list of fixes make it seem like it were the bee's knees, it insists on keeping the same bland and useless startup screen. You may indeed opt out of the Vuze Toolbar. However, when installing the wording it puts up makes you think you're rejecting the EULA, instead of just opting out of the toolbar. Beware. [alert admin]

Vuze 4.3.0.2 (Mac OS X)
It still gives you the semi-blank bland and useless startup screen! Anyone know how to reset the thing? Oh, and it also insists on installing the Vuze Toolbar on your browser, with minimal or no indications on how to opt out. Luckily, have Firefox in high security mode so that killed the highjacking attempt. [alert admin]

Vuze 4.3 (Mac OS X)
The latest 4.3 release seems faster at startup and during use; great, cause that was one of the of the favorite gripes from the Vuze/Azureus detractors. The bad is the new startup "page" for the Vuze HD Network tab. Very flashy, icon-y and whathaveyou, but I can't find a thing there. Any way to get the old scheme, even if it is cluttered and all?

Apple Mac OS X 10.6.1 (Mac OS X)
A SERVICE PACK in less than two weeks after release?!? What were you thinking, Apple? Why didn't you delay release till September, as promised, and avoid this kind of embarrasment? Oh, and the *.la files, which have caused so much problems for developers, where will they finally be? [alert admin]

Vuze 4.2.0.8 (Mac OS X)
Could anyone please indicate if this latest VUZE incarnation still comes preloaded with spyware like its predecessors? [alert admin]

Mozilla Firefox 3.5 (Mac OS X)
Very nice, fast and spiffy, but it still fails to get 100 on the ACID3 test, in contrast with Safari 4 that finishes flawlessly. http://acid3.acidtests.org/ [alert admin]

VMware Fusion 2.0.5 (Mac OS X)
On the Windows camp, Windows 7 is still not supported in 2.0.5, so you have to use the Windows Vista profile when creating the VM and hope for the best if you are trying out the Windows 7 RC that Microsoft is offering for testing till 6/2010. (side note: VirtualBox does support Win7 as of now). No support at all is offered for OpenBSD or NetBSD. Only FreeBSD appears in the Others section. [alert admin]

ImageJ 1.43a (Mac OS X)
64 bit no longer works after Java update
After the latest Java update from Apple (JavaForMacOSX10.5Update4), the 64 bit version of ImageJ no longer starts. Double click on the icon, and you get nothing. The 32 bit version works ok. [alert admin]

Apple Safari 4.0.1 (Mac OS X)
Wooo! First browser I've tried (carry 9 different ones for compatibility testing) that passes the most gruelling of them all, the Acid3 Web Standards Compliance test with a flawless 100% score. If you want to try: http://www.acidtests.org/ [alert admin]

Apple Bluetooth 2.0 (Mac OS X)
Well, it seems we Nokia phone users will have to wait some more to be able to interconnect via Bluetooth with the Mac. This 2.0 update still does not allow, for example, an N73 to pair and communicate successfully with Leopard. Something that happened flawlessly with Tiger. So much sophistication, but we still can't ditch the wire... [alert admin]

BTW, bunch of Jobs-sucking twits, I've been using Macs since the days of the 128MB single-diskette Mac and MacOS 1.0, of which I still have the original install diskette. This was probably before you were even potty trained. And having installed all flavors of MacOS, together with IBM AIX, Sun Solaris, HP/UX, all flavors of BSD's, Linux, not to mention Windoze excrement, I call a spade a spade. SL is very unfinished business and Apple…

A .kext is a Kernel extension and the file itself is located in System/Library/Extensions/ on your boot volume. Presumably it will have some illustrative name (i.e., Gloworm.kext), if it does not, do NOT guesstimate which one. Erasing the wrong .kext file can really screw up your system. You can also determine which files were installed and where by inspecting the installation package with a tool such as <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743">Pacifist</a>.

change your ethernet mac adress
or you can reboot the computer and have it return to its default, burned-in MAC address. None of all these utilities and Terminal commands can change the MAC address permanently, since that is burned in a ROM. However, when the computer starts up and activates the network interfaces, the corresponding MAC address gets copied over to RAM: what all these alternatives do is simply overwrite the area in RAM where it was stored.

On MacOS X, autoupdate will only happen if you've upgraded to 2.3.0.0 or newer. The updater on the older 2.2.x.x clients doesn't seem to work, so you will at least have to manually update the .jar file once.

Yes, that's the only thing that changed. But it's no biggie: - Download the .jar file. - Right-click/Ctrl-click on your old Azureus app. - Select "Show package contents" on the dropmenu. - Go to Contents/Resources/Java. - There you will find a file named "Azureus2.jar". - Trash it and place the 2.3.0.2.jar file you downloaded. - Rename this file to "Azureus2.jar". - All set: you've just upgraded your Azureus client. - Close the window, double-click on the app and have fun!

Have you tried erasing your configuration? "ch.sudo.cyberduck.plist", found inside your Library/Preferences/ folder is the file to kill and should reset the WonderDuck to its initial blank state.

at is the user version of "cron": a Unix utility that helps you schedule tasks to be carried out automatically by the system in your stead sometime in the future. Cron needs special privileges to run and you have to modify the crontab file to set things up, whereas "at" is configured with the command-line. Regarding the change of the /private/var/at/jobs/ directory ownership, what Apple apparently did is make it belong to the "daemon" service…

You want slow ? Why don'tcha get Dreamweaver? Takes 30-60 seconds to load on a 1.25GHz PB with 1GB RAM and don't even dream of opening a multi-megabyte file there. Plus you'll get that nice, warm, fuzzy feeling of helping out a huge multimillion-dollar corporation so they can ignore you then you ask for product help, instead of supporting a postdoctoral researcher who does this as a side hobby and usually responds in a…

The program version found on the .dmg image pointed to by this VT catalog entry is 8.3fc10, which is certainly much newer than its beta predecessors. Also, the developer sometimes forgets to update the version string in the application, even though it is a newer version, so your best bet is probably to trust the file date.
