Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

I didn't see this in any articles on 3.0. If you hold down on a link, it pops up some options, including open in a new page!! Woot!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So my iPod touch suddenly developed a whole bunch of flickering white horizontal lines that cover the whole display. (I haven't updated anything on it recently.)

Is the display toast? (It seems to work fine otherwise.)

Wouldn't it seem a bit more credible if you used a Yahoo address? C'mon people, it's FREE!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I installed an app as one user on OS X, and now I can't upgrade it as another. Is there any simple way to chown over all the application files to the new user? Also, if I delete the old user, what happens to the rights?

And why doesn't admin behave the way I want it to, which means absolute dominion over all?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I installed an app as one user on OS X, and now I can't upgrade it as another. Is there any simple way to chown over all the application files to the new user? Also, if I delete the old user, what happens to the rights?

From the command-line, you can type "sudo chown -R ita:ita /Applications/Awesome.app"

There's also an interface to do this via the Finder's "Get Info" pane.

And why doesn't admin behave the way I want it to, which means absolute dominion over all?

If you really want that, you can always enable the root account, which will give you such awesome power, and with it, the ability to seriously fuck up your computer.

sudo chown -R ita:ita /Applications/Awesome.app

Based on what happened when I clicked on uninstall (a partial list of folders came up) it's not all in one folder. Is Applications smart enough to find everything, even if I'm just operating from the command line? Or even from a Finder pane?

with it, the ability to seriously fuck up your computer

I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have to log out to upgrade a damned app. That's working against me.

Well, let me delete my test user and see what happens to access to its files.
