Syssiphus··on When I first heard the name "Safari"
IBrowse would have been a bad choice. There is an Amiga OS Browser which goes by that name, and it is a little bit older than Safari.

Syssiphus··on Why C++ Is Not "Back"
My C++ days are long gone and I too still know the answers to nearly all of the questions.

Lucky are the ones who have someone to teach them this stuff. If you have to find it out yourself it is an endless pain.

I think I could handle the Great Old Ones. But C++, never again.

Syssiphus··on Leaping Brain's "Virtually Uncrackable" DRM is just an XOR with "RANDOM_STRING"
Hm, anybody remember Dmitry Slyarov? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Sklyarov

As far as I recall the Adobe PDF encryption was also just some XOR with a simple passphrase. Got him into serious trouble.

And WTH is 'virtually uncrackable'?

Syssiphus··on Mocl: Common Lisp for iPhone/iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms
There is also a lib called 'HTML-TEMPLATE' ( http://weitz.de/html-template/ ) which is IMO a bit easier to use than CL-WHO.

Hunchentoot has been updated, it is just maintained by somebody else now AFAIK ( https://github.com/edicl/hunchentoot/downloads ). I do remember that there was a version (1.2?) that had some backward compatibility problems and that was last year.

Try quicklisp ( http://www.quicklisp.org/ ) for all your lib needs, it is a nice lib repository and it is very up to date (though still beta).
