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.

At long last, the one-click iPhone Unlock application is available. You can grab the file at ModMyiPhone, the site that’s also taken on the lion’s share of work involved in creating an easy-to-follow tutorial for Mac OS X users.

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.
