Now I see the problem of private subnets is fixed at the L3 dns servers that were borked 2-days ago (4.2.2.1 4.2.2.2). The one the popped up today is still borked (4.2.2.5).

I noticed a couple of days ago that some of our dns entries were mysteriously removed from level 3 servers which out of old habit are used for resolution (some of the ip's go back to uu-net/worldcom/mci)

Now the interesting bit is they were for private subnet ip's. They're working fine everywhere else.

Today the last of their dns servers removed the entries so I had users go to google (8.8.8.8) and all's well with our apps.

Level 3's entries for our external stuff is there, just the private subnet stuff is removed.

If others do this too and resolve with level 3....

Well that's how I feel :)

Seriously, I too came from linux (ubuntu even) to osx having last owned a mac when it had a whopping 128k memory.

I heard someone say on a podcast recently that when Apple Computer became Apple (jan-07), that's when they started leaving power users behind.

Anyhow, my Lion/MC/Spaces gripes are along these lines:

1. 1-D vs 2-D grids. This is terrible for me personally.

2. Animations. If I'm typing ctrl->right/left, it means I'd like to get there more quickly than my mouse allows. The (for me) nauseating animation is just painfully slow and sickening (literally).

3. I've read many people say, 'use ctrl-<desktop#>'. Well yea that's somewhat better and has a snappier animation (like ctrl-<arrow key> had with SL spaces) but I personally find this awkward. First, if I am going to go the trouble of that, I want to get to that desktop immediately so any animation seems silly. Second, it's still 1-D thinking. Having been able to ctrl-<arrow key> to my 3x3 grid in SL was a basic with my workflow.

Now I'm sure my mother will love Mission Control, and not tire of the eye candy animations, but for people working all day with them.... ugh!

I just don't understand why Apple can't bring it's stunning "Here's how to use a trackpad" gif-like spiffy animations to the System Preferences more broadly, and add more customization to the UI in general (like turn of animations!).

I know we're the 20% and not the 80% but it does suck, making me seriously consider going back to *nix now that I'm digging deeper into vim.

Basically they stopped being a computer company and became a consumer media company.

I prefer 'brew install rmtrash'

I like the idea of actually wrapping the unlink syscall, but I have no idea if/how darwin allows that.
