錘 - Chui2 - Hammer

大錘 - Da4 Chui2 - Big Hammer – Sledgehammer

I was really hoping Chinese would have a cool word for SLEDGEHAMMER but I guess ultimately it is just a big hammer. Oh well.

I’m kinda glad I haven’t bought Tiger yet. It turns out that the new Safari + Dashboad team up to allow an unremovable (!) executable to be installed and run just by visiting a web site, like this one, which has a demo and a full explanatation. Sure, dashboard widgets run in a sandbox. How easy are sandboxes to break out of? Maybe I’ll wait for 10.4.1.

UPDATE: According to an update to the linked article, people who have already installed Tiger can protect themselves by unchecking “Automatically open safe files” in Safari preferences. It’s apparently checked by default, and Dashboard widgets are considered “safe”.

And the converse: 無緣對面不相逢 - Wu2 Yuan2 Dui4 Mian4 Bu4 Xiang1 Feng2 - Without Fate Opposite Side No Mutual Meet – Without fate, even across the same room, you will not meet.
