Mac OS X Hidden Secrets Revealed

By: mmalcolm crawford, James Dempsey, Don Yacktman with assistance from Dr.
Ernst D. Bunker 

Newcomers to Apple's new technologies sometimes wonder at the productivity
of the ex-NeXT users -- and in particular developers -- and ask themselves
how is it possible that these people are able to achieve so much with so
little documentation. Finally we uncover the secrets. Class libraries, API
and Preferences settings heretofore shared only be an elite few, exposed
today for all. 

User Defaults 

A number of hidden preferences significantly enhance the Mac OS X
user-experience for the cognoscenti.

defaults write com.apple.Preferences ExposeHiddenPreferences Yes
defaults write com.apple.installer TrashSymbolicLinks No
defaults write com.apple.finder UseCocoaFinder Yes
defaults write com.apple.finder RunSlowly No
defaults write com.apple.finder LoadedFolders Springy
defaults write com.apple.EOModeler CrashRandomly No

/* 
and I emphasis the next line of code ...
*/

defaults write com.microsoft.Office SendPersonalInformationToMotherShip No


These overrides though, the authors go on to say, are just the tip of the
iceberg ...

spooky isn't ... what else personal goes where? this is one for the
MacMulders and MacScullys, and I don�t mean John, John.

is Apple fronting up for Microsoft who are fronting up for the CIA who are
fronting up for the Illuminati feeding all your personal details in that "
most secure of the secure " Oses to a Pepsi drinking Lizard-like
Anti-Christ?

I wish I knew more. does anybody care?

and has anyone else notice a reluctance for OS 9.2 General Controls to stick
with the Documents folder preference rather than go with Last Used or Set by
Application? mine keeps changing back and I hate being told where to stick
my files by anyone, least of all some hiked up and hyped geriatric OS.

complain?!?! ... I think that I will just go back and play Nanosaur Extreme
for another half an hour to remind me of life with william ahearn and the
macheretic.com list.

jerk offs.

on the otherhand, the poor wee kernal actually gets nervous before it panics
...

NSNervousKernelNotification

This notification is sent by NSProcessInfo whenever the kernel is nervous,
but before it actually panics. This allows the receiver of the notification
to do things to minimize the likelihood of a kernel panic affecting its
process.

perhaps someone ought to dream up an extension that is a successor to Nada
called Librium or Assertiveness Training Course to cure it.
