Sorry, didn't mean to post twice
Well, at least I'm not alone in having this happen on VT! [alert admin]

WeatherPop Advance 2.6.1 (Mac OS X)
I find this application perfectly reliable. I don't know what else you have in your menubar (I have default folder, stufit magic menu, the versiontracker search icon, pgp, clamav scanner, etc.) I have not seen weatherpop "disappear". It has not crashed on updating. It always shows up on login. It has given whatever temperature the source gives, and of course the sources are easily modifiable. I prefer weatherunderground. Weatherpop works in various cities in Germany, etc. It's a great app, and I like the visuals. I think it's a four star app but I'm giving it five because the one-star reviews are so ridiculous.

MacLockPick 1.0 (Mac OS X)
Someone ought to get a hold of one of these and let the folks who do rootkit analyzers add it to the list of baddies to check for. You know that one "law enforcement professional" can give a copy of this to one million crooks. There is no way the list of functions described could be performed on a Mac without being installed as a rootkit. The question is: how does the software install itself without an admin password? It has to modify files that one would not normally have access to. And if it just runs as a background process, activity monitor would show it, unless it somehow attaches itself to a normally running system process. Even more so if the computer is not running from an admin account (more and more it looks like we shouldn't be default running from an admin account). Man oh man do we not need this. And if it's really for "law enforcement", why don't they just send mail to police departments, rather than listing on versiontracker? Sick. Sick. Sick. [alert admin]

PGP Desktop Home 9.5.3 (Mac OS X)
Not worth it (Slowdowns and Beach Balls) 
PGP 9.06 works fine in 10.4.8 (PB 1.5 Ghz, running Mac OS 10.4.8). Install 9.5.3, every save or print from any app gets a spinning beach ball. (I had to uninstall the whole thing, not just WDE.kext). All you really get from this upgrade is that PGP disks will now expand as you fill them. Not worth it for instability. They make it sound like you get whole disk encryption, but you don't. Then they make it sound like you can buy a separate license for whole disk encryption (kind of like MPEG-2 in quicktime at one point). But there is no page for that, only a whole new $179.00 PGP "Desktop Professional." This stuff is inexcusable. Release a stable version please, and give me my license options! [alert admin]

ClamXav 1.0.6 (Mac OS X)
What is "Fix Darwin Ports" that comes with?
There is a terminal script that is called "Fix Darwin Ports". Nowhere is it explained what this is? Do I need to run it? Does CLAMX itself need to be set to run as a startup item, or will the engine function to scan the folder I have chosen even if the App isn't running? (Basic things for a README!) [alert admin]

IPNetSentryX 1.5b2 (Mac OS X)
How much does this actually cost?
It says here on Versiontracker that it is $40.00, but on their site it is $60.00. Am I missing something? [alert admin]

Adobe Flash Player 9.0.0.297 (Mac OS X)
Bravely uninstalled previous flash players, as instructions dictate (you have to download a separate file) and installed the new version. No problems yet. No browser crash on wake, etc. Will wait to give stars until I try it for a while. (BTW What a surprise that the person before me running Tiger had problems, while I, running Panther, didn't. I tell you 10.3.9 just WORKS. Tiger was flawed from the beginning. My two cents anyway. Perhaps when it gets to 10.4.9 it will be great. By that time it will be time to beta test (oops, did I really say "beta test") the release version of Leopard...) PB G4 12" last pre-Tiger model. [alert admin]

How do you "log in" to CUPS on your average, everyday mac? And now that the binaries seem to have been pulled from the link, can anyone tell me how to compile it?

I would think it should be put in in either /Library/PreferencePanes (the library at the root level of the drive) or ~/Library/PreferencePanes (your library, i.e.) (Notice PreferencePanes the second P must be a capital, and there should be no space between the words If those folders don't exist you can create them with "New Folder". And then put the thing inside. A reboot should then bring the GPG option up when you open "System Preferences". It…

A reboot should then bring the GPG option up when you open "System Preferences". It will be at the bottom of the listings. Am I wrong about this? I don't use GPG but this struck me as being right.

Spoofing IE 6 by changing the user agent will not work on many sites. I have found it is really hit or miss.

ONYX is free and better than both. Or Applejack. (also free) For fontcaches, try Fontnuke (also free)

Probably the Movie uses a double layer DVD. (8.0 GB approx). If your burner is single sided, you will need Roxio Popcorn (or some equivalent, now included with Toast 8.0) to compress the movie to play to fit on a regular single-layer (4 GB approx). (even this is not guaranteed, and of course the quality won't be as good) Check how big the Video_TS file is after you finish with Mac the Ripper. If it…

Not my default & Little Snitch: need DF 3
Default folder as version 3 does not use the "code injection" programming method that Little Snitch would complain about. If you want to use DF and Little Snitch at the same time, and keep Little Snitch looking for code injection, you need DF 3

Great app. Wish it managed Word files, etc. though.
Wouldn't DEVONThink do the kind of sorting you want? After all, YEP is free...how much can you ask? But look at: http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/devonthink/ Naturally DEVONthink is not free. But this is a great company, and should be supported. (They provide the best FREE search alternative to Spotlight, for example, that will look for invisible files and even files inside packages...)

Can someone please help me on this issue?
Try going directly to Adobe's site and getting their reader installer (Navigate until it asks what operating system you use). This actually downloads a small file that then downloads the update. Short of that, move all your old copies of the app to the trash (but don't empty it; you may need them if this doesn't work), and all the reader prefs (Your short name/Library/Preferences, anything with com.adobe in it, UNLESS you use another Adobe…
