Use what works for you. In my case, that's python. It's portable (cross platform), the final product is (usually) the script files themselves vs. an architecture specific "executable", and the language includes "bat

So what you're saying is that greater than 56% of Macs are running operating systems at most 1.5 years old ? (10.8 + 10.9). God I wish the numbers were like that for Windows.

Unlikely that it was something decent like Truecrypt volumes and more likely nested encrypted zips/RARs. Since the vast majority of these are encrypted with a simple text passcode, dictionary attacks are pretty routine against them. h

Initial models did ship with a TPM, but current ones do not. Install Windows Vista or later via Bootcamp and it'll gladly tell you about the lack of any such chip.

Yeah. When you install a new major OS, it's supposed to trigger a SMC reset and relearn the battery profile - which it sounds like it did for you on 10.9. After calibrating it did indeed determine that, yes, you still had a failing bat
