Purpose of appendix believed found – CNN.com

Purpose of appendix believed found – CNN.com
WASHINGTON (AP) — Some scientists think they have figured out the real job of the troublesome and seemingly useless appendix: It produces and protects good germs for your gut.

That’s the theory from surgeons and immunologists at Duke University Medical School, published online in a scientific journal this week.

For generations the appendix has been dismissed as superfluous. Doctors figured it had no function. Surgeons removed them routinely. People live fine without them.

Tether your iPhone to get online with EDGE – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

Tether your iPhone to get online with EDGE – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
Who cares whether Apple or AT&T might shut down your account or slam you with an exorbitant data bill – cre.ations.net figured out how to tether your iPhone to get web access with… well, EDGE. It may not be Wi-Fi or even EVDO, but EDGE should be able to save the day in a pinch, but none of us make any guarantees as to how long AT&T will permit this or what this hack could do to your bill. Proceed at your own risk.

Cross compiling (x86 and PPC) rsync for OSX

Preserving this for future references, the commands I used to compile a Universal Binary of rsync (with patches) for Tiger.

uname
uname -a
ls -l /
softwareupdate -l
mkdir rsync-build
cd rsync-build
curl -O http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.3/rsync-20/rsync-2.6.3.tar.gz
curl -O http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.3/rsync-20/patches/EA.diff
curl -O http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.3/rsync-20/patches/PR-3945747-endian.diff
curl -O http://www.lartmaker.nl/rsync/rsync-tiger-fixes.diff
ls -l /usr/include/
curl -O http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.3/Libc-391.2.3/darwin/copyfile.h
mv -n copyfile.h /usr/include
tar zxf rsync-2.6.3.tar.gz
cd rsync-2.6.3
patch -p0 < ../EA.diff
patch -p0 < ../PR-3945747-endian.diff
patch -p0 < ../rsync-tiger-fixes.diff
./configure --enable-ea-support
make
cat /usr/include/copyfile.h
cat > /usr/include/copyfile.h
make
make clean
./configure --enable-ea-support
make
make install
man make
cd rsync-build/
cd rsync-2.6.3
make clean
less configure
CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc" ./configure --enable-ea-support
make clean
CFLAGS="-arch ppc" ./configure --enable-ea-support
make
ls -l
./rsync
lipo
lipo -info
lipo -info rsync
make clean
CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch ppc" ./configure --enable-ea-support
make
lipo -info rsync
scp rsync root@10.32.45.254:~/rsync-osxs

Of particular interest to me is “CFLAGS=”-arch i386 -arch ppc” ./configure –enable-ea-support” which is the command that actually tells the gcc compiler to compile for both x86 and ppc. Neat! Also handy to know is the lipo command “lipo -info rsync” which tells you what architectures are contained by a FAT binary.
