Remote X with ubuntu 5.10

If you want to remote display to a local ubuntu machine by using "xhost +" and "export DISPLAY", you need:

Edit the file /etc/gdm/gdm.conf. Find the line that says "DisallowTCP=true" and change it to read "DisallowTCP=false".

Better practice is use "ssh -X" instead.

Upgrade StuffIt Deluxe 10 to 10.0.1

I've just upgraded StuffIt Deluxe to 10.0.1.
I wished it can solve the problem of expanding rar file.
StuffIt 10 can't expand a lot of rar files, so that I had installed a command line unrar instead.

After the upgrade, this issue was gone, but the Finder recycling issue came again.
Even after following the awful troubleshoot, Finder still crashed timely.
The workaround is to turn off AVR in Preference Pane.

BTW: I think Mac OS X 10.4.3 is really good, I found the memory usage is smaller than before.

Safari bundled with Mac OS X 10.4.3 passed ACID 2 test

Today Apple released Mac OS X 10.4.3 update.
Safari in this update can pass ACID 2 test.
Pretty cool!

Firefox or Opera, who will be the runner-up?
