I'd be looking for cheap beer too if I had just paid a thousand bucks for a badge, and at least $150/night for a shitty hotel.

FWIW, denyhosts and mod-security don't seem to require any real additional configuration beyond just installing them on Ubuntu 10.10 (and copying the example config for mod-security from /usr/share/doc/mod-security-common/examples).

It's the theory for xcode based on Apple claiming it was the reason to charge iPod Touch users for iOS 2 or 3 (I forget which). IIRC.

Yeah, I hear the "it's about SOX" comment a lot, and I hear the "it's about greed" comment a lot, neither of which make any sense to me... I'd love to get a real explanation.

(edited my comment before I saw your reply) I agree that a smaller (and free) tool chain would be great, but so far as I know there is nothing preventing anyone from making one. Related, I realize it is now the case, but when did casual use

Well, I'm pretty sure gcc can bootstrap and self-compile, but I don't know if macports is setup for that. edit: apparently it's not self-compiling, at least not in the way I was thinking.

It doesn't involve credit cards as xcode 3 is still freely available. If Apple does not include the developer tools on the Lion DVD, and if they remove all free versions of xcode for download, then I don't doubt someone will package up

I can't dig anything up, does anyone know if there are officially documented ways to build extensions for xcode? Say, to support other languages?
552.
by tvon 16y ago
Okay, you've got me. I hope there is some core distribution of basic build tools available for free in the future though, the first step to building anything on OSX is "go download/install xcode". The community could work around it since a

Yeah, that's what I was getting at (most Linux distros used to work this way "back in the day").

What about someone who isn't in love with the platform, just curious?
555.
by tvon 16y ago
Worth paying for if you're certain you need it, but it will turn away lots of curious hackers. I have a hard time seeing raising the barrier to development, even by $5, as anything but a horrible move.

The problem seems to have resolved itself.

I was assuming that different sets of packages would be installed depending on a choice presented during installation.

Except on servers. Which I guess is due to install disk space issues...?

> Enterking also asks that customers format their system before bringing it in to sell. This suggests that Nintendo actually keeps a record of any illegal activity on the 3DS which it can then analyze on a firmware update and react to.

Is there any way to mess around with the UI without setting up the whole environment? I see a few bits I'd like to clean up but man that's a lot of bootstrapping :)

Ah, a quick google turns up a lot of references to that, I had missed it. I took the lack of lines on launch day to mean it didn't break any records, but I guess that's not the case.

Of course you realize how easy it is to apply that quote to completely absurd things, e.g. the Flat Earth Society or pretty much anyone who has reached the ridicule stage. It gets significantly harder as you go along (ignored, ridiculed, f

I haven't seen any numbers reported on the Verizon iPhone, which I think hints at the impact being minimal (if you sell a lot, you talk about it).

The truth is calling someone a "fanboy" is childish and virtually guaranteed to send the discussion in a bad direction.

I'd probably be using Chrome if a) you could open external links in new windows and b) the "loading" indicator wasn't some kind of horrible practical joke.

You can access Facebook fine with Chrome, fwiw.
