You're missing the point: it isn't about the OS. The direct distribution version of the app has full functionality. The problem is with the Mac App Store.

I come from a very different, old-school perspective, because I hand-write my blog posts in HTML and also hand-write my RSS feed in XML. I've found CDATA invaluable, because I can just copy and paste the content from the HTML file to t

The previous commenter appears to argue that you need to diagnose every headache, which sounds absurd to me. Occasionally I have a headache. Not frequently, and I don't necessarily know why. These things just happen. I take a painkille

The vote to extend it for years failed. Then they voted to extend it for days in order to negotiate further. The 10 day extension was by voice vote (basically, they all shout at the same time), so there's no record of that.
