Firefox 3.0.2 (Mac OS X)
Contextual menu doesn't work. You HAVE to use the control key, you cannot double finger (for laptops with trackpad) or right click (with mouses that support it) for control clicking like you could in FF2. Broken since 3.0.0 [alert admin]

Lab Tick 0.8.4 (Mac OS X)
Severe flicker on MBP under Leopard 
Huge swings in flickering from off to 50% intensity under Leopard wiht a Mac Book Pro. Worked great under Tiger. Virtually flawless. But the flickering is so bad under Leopard I had to shut it off. [alert admin]

iPodderX 3.0 (Mac OS X)
Despite issues, still the best podcast app around
3.0 adds some slick new features. It takes a long time to launch, over a minute on my Powerbook. It likes to redownload files you've already downloaded and are already in the list of what you've downloaded. It doesn't seem to use it's own data very well. Select the catch up option and choose no files to mark everything current and it will STILL download files you downloaded 6 months ago. Once you get it to stop downloading files over and over (this will take an hour or more depending on the number of feeds you subscribe to and your connection speed), it behaves pretty well most of the time. It needs a lot of work, but it always has. I'd like to see less new features and less bugs. Get it tight and then you can expand your vision. [alert admin]

Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 (Mac OS X)
Throwing about the baby with the bathwater
"Resolves a potential issue in which Mail could unexpectedly quit, stop responding, or fail to import your previous emails if third-party software were installed in a ~/Library/Mail/Bundles or /Library/Mail/Bundles—this update prevents previously-installed plug-ins from loading." [alert admin]

Apple DVD Player 4.6 (Mac OS X)
Does it's decoding still suck?
Play a DVD using Apple's player. Notice the blockiness. Play same disk in another app, not blocky. Play it in a standalone dvd unit, not blocky. Was this version also coded by BLOCK heads? ;-) Or is it finally smooth? [alert admin]

httpmail plugin 1.43 (Mac OS X)
The guy that makes this is very responsive and knowlegable. I've communicated with him in the past when MS changed some things and I sent him data to help resolve the problem. He rocks and so does the plugin. I'm sure the new version will be coming soon. Until then, I guess I can force myself to hit hotmail via the webpage (ick!). [alert admin]

Game Agent 1.1.1 (Mac OS X)
It says my g4 laptop (1.5ghz, 2gb ram, 5400rpm drive, 128mb video) should be able to run Call of Duty: United Offensive and many other games well. CoDUO runs so poorly on it that even at 640x480 with extras set to the middle (not entirely stripped down) I only average 20fps. I had to drop it that much because when the action got heavy the slide show was so bad I couldn't move or aim effectively. My hunch is that this is not Aspyr's fault, but nonetheless, this until very recently top of the line laptop cannot run CoDUO very well at all. Whereas I get 40fps at 1024x768 with most fluffy options on on my PC. It drops during heavy action some, but not to a slideshow state. Very playable. I believe the problem lies in the low level areas of OS X and the appropriate device drivers. OS X can't even play full screen avi's at a smooth rate. Heck, much of the time it can't even do that with QuickTime. So while OS X may be several years ahead in features, it's 8 years behind in performance. [alert admin]

Right after you clear the church and the tank shells hit it, the Sgt. yells at you to get to the tower and take out their bazookas. You won't make it to the tower. The game hangs with Entity_289 not a script_vehicle or something like that. I've even gone back a save, recleared the church and made sure I was in a different spot, but I get the same crash every time. [alert admin]

I queued up several things from several artists. Sometimes it was one file per artist, sometimes as many as 22. ThreeTen took the drag of every queued item, except one. It failed to recognize any song in a 22 song album by Roy Orbison: Roy Orbison Pretty Woman Dream - Greatest Hits '2003 22 I queued up everything except the Roy songs that it wouldnt' take, 15 songs in all. The first one downloaded and about a minute later I quit ThreeTen. I checked itunes. Nothing new. I checked the specified download folder. Empty. Song gone from queue on allofmp3.com. It was under a dime for the song, but ThreeTen sent it off to the ether. I'm certainly not ready to try this on multiple tunes until it can handle one properly without losing it and costing me money.

features only one person uses? Here's an list of some of the problems I've had with Tiger: - Installation fails and corrupts filesystem on freshly formatted drive. - Installation corrupts PMU settings and/or nvram - Mail is incredible slow reading imap accounts - trackpad not initialized at boot sometimes, can require many boots to fix. And that's just a starting point. Count yourself lucky, fanboi. People aren't making up these problems.

So WoW, made 5 years after EQ, is better? Perhaps in some ways and I would certainly hope so. I played WoW during the open beta, it was ok, but nothing special. It's pretty much a copy of Dark Age of Camelot dropped into the Warcraft world.

I've seen similar log messages for other files/directories during a permissions check/repair. I'll bet a change to 'at' was made. It's a unix utility that allows you to specify when a command is run. Sort of like cron, but cron is for a repeating cycle.
