Shawn, On-rev has a special client that allows you to do remote debugging (as in stepping thru the server side code). The special client also was supposed to make your life easier because it would do all the upload and stuff for you. The fact that the on-rev client has not been updated in ages and

Hi Stephen, I concur that Apple are treating their user base as dumbasses these days. It's probably fair to say that there are a substantial number of them that fit that moniker! The problem is that Apple doesn't always provide a way to tell them "I'm not a dumbass and I would like to not be trea

Re: Upgrade to Lion

I don't think Lion likes to be installed on partitions. It wants to own the disk. As part of the the installation process, it makes it's own, secret partition that acts as an 'emergency disk' when you boot, hear the chime, and hold down command and R. Pretty useful, unless one's partitions unravel
