I've said it before, and I'll never stop saying it. Zones were awful. Solaris had all of these great ideas, but the OS was an absolute pain in the ass to admin. And I say that from both sides of the SWAN firewall.

BetterTouchTool works, but it's not pretty - rounded corners end up with blue backgrounds and windows shrink slightly when defocussed. No joy with the rest.

All I want (for christmas) is an 'Always on top' opton for windows on macos. I'd pay real actual money, as I suspect would many others.

2. Why should bash be in /usr/bin? Mine's in /usr/local/bin and I've seen vendored bash binaries in very weird places. Respect the user's PATH. 8. '[' and '[[' are both bash builti

Sony's playstation billing system is a mess and always has been. Forward slashes in addresses (e.g. <floor>/<apartment>) cause similar mysterious errors.

RedHat isn't a startup banging out MVP products and hoping for the best. A lot of businesses rely on RedHat being the last line of support for thier systems, and if they're losing or unable to hire genuinely senior engineers, that

The battery he's ended up with looks like it does have charge protection after all (6-pin chip under the kapton tape), which is probably a good thing.

Don't know if you're aware, but if you click the bluetooth icon in the menu bar with Shift and Option held down, you get a debug menu that lets you reset the bluetooth module - might save you rebooting.
