Mac-Only Thinkers Beware the Darkworld

If you, like me, come from a largely Macintosh mind set, if you use Windows only when forced to and consider *nix to be the only user-hostile environment on the planet, I have two words of warning for you today.

AVOID DARWIN

No, I'm not talking about the scientist known as the chief proponent and discoverer of the role of evolution in biology. Darwin is the peculiar version of *nix that lurks just under the covers of OS X. It is a frightful place filled with the arcane and the dangerous. File permissions lurk there. And trust me when I tell you that you do not want to know about file permissions!

Read, if you dare, my article that explores this subject in greater depth.

Share your scary stories...and your successes...with me on my discussion board if you like.
