MPlayer 1.0rc2 (Mac OS X)
The executable has no version number and its timestamp is older than the previous release. Then, when you try to play a Matroska clip, you only get audio but no video. That, after erasing all traces of the previous version, so preferences are default. So, don't bother downloading as it doesn't work on 10.5.2/Intel. [alert admin]

Netscape X 9.0.0.6 (Mac OS X)
Netscape == dead/finito/mortus/kaput
News blogs have repeated endlessly how AOL, in dire straits itself, has gotten rid of all the Netscape infrastructure like deadweight, so don't expect much support at all. It is sad to see Netscape fade from glory; nowadays it seems like a fumigated roach, everyone thinks it's dead but it still twitches a leg or an antennae occasionally. [alert admin]

Long live the cat, Panther is DEAD...
All those of us still living in Pantherworld (MacOS 10.3) are left high and dry. Google Earth 4.1.x will now only support Tiger and there are no more updates for the 4.0.x branch. Methinks time's a coming to make the leap... [alert admin]

Logitech Control Center 2.1.4 (Mac OS X)
Does this release resolve the kernel panic problem?
With LCC up to 2.1.2 running on MacOS 10.3.9 I keep getting random kernel panics when unplugging the USB antenna of my MX Revolution mouse. On the Apple forums, other users report similar problems with 10.4. Major bummer on a portable, where you WILL be unplugging the mouse at regular intervals! Does this release solve the problem?

Logitech Control Center 1.6.2 (Mac OS X)
Quick Switch button on cordless mice no longer works
With LCC 1.6.2, you lose the Switch Application functionality usually mapped to the Quick Switch button (the one with the two overlapping squares symbol). This happened on both my MX1000 and MX700 cordless mice. Had to downgrade back to LCC 1.6.0 to recover (hadn't downloaded 1.6.1). I've opened a report to Logitech helpdesk, but haven't received reply yet. [alert admin]

KaraTunes 2.5.1 (Mac OS X)
Before the music industry pigopoly lets loose its lawyer hounds on this developer's yugular? Shall we make a raffle to see who guesses the time correctly? I give it about a week or less. After seeing what they did to the poor guy who was developing PearLyrics for free, I can only imagine what they'll do to a for-profit venture like this. [alert admin]

Logitech Control Center 1.6.0 (Mac OS X)
LCC 1.6.0 is a no-go for MX1000 cordless
I will have to concur that LCC version 1.6.0 is a worthless update. I have an MX1000 laser cordless and an MX700 cordless. After duly updating to 1.6.0, repairing permissions, etc., this version never detected the MX1000 so I had to uninstall and go back to 1.5.0. Didn't try with the MX700 cause I don't have it at hand, but I refuse to waste more time with a driver that doesn't even recognize what's supposed to be one of their premier mice. [alert admin]

Mac Restart X 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Why pay for something you have already?
For a one-time system reboot or shutdown, use the standard Unix "shutdown" command. If you want this to be done repetitively, set up a standard Unix "cron" task to do it. These are all standard Unix facilities which cost nothing except maybe having to strain the brain a bit by reading the manual (Yes, Virginia, Unix has a "man" command...). [alert admin]

SAM Jr 0.4.0 (Mac OS X)
You need Snort to try this....
Snort, fyi, is an Intrusion Detection System, which means a bit of software designed to catch hackers as they try to penetrate your computer or network. While this software is usually run on regular Unix servers, Nick Zitzmann has kindly created an all-in-one package that lets you run Snort natively on MacOS X with a much friendlier graphical interface for configuring the thing. This gem is called HenWen and can be found here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14778 Note that this product contains all you need to run Snort but does not contain the tools to analyze the output from Snort: that's where SAM can come in and help. And, yes, any security professional will tell you that you cannot run a LAN nowadays without an IDS and hope to escape the hackers unscathed... [alert admin]

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.

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.
