I tested flashrom in Mac OS X Leopard on my Quad G5. Seems both programmer methods work.

when i think about it we should... no wait, it seems more safe to formulate it as question: is it wrong to suggest that the pictures should simply be of the same size than the surrounding container?

Or at least of the same width, if I may add.

So, if I understand it correctly, I have to install DirectHW.kext first by using KextUtil.sh, right?
And then I have to put flashrom binary into what? /usr/bin/ ?

You can view the .command scripts to see how they do it. They install directhw.kext temporarily.

You can install Direct-HW.kext however you like. You can view KextUtil.sh to see how it does it.

You can just use the .command script by double clicking it. It gets executed in a new Terminal.app window.

You do not need to install flashrom to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin or whatever. You see in the command script it executes flashrom from the same directory that the command script is in using sudo ./flashrom

And no, I wasn't under influence of illegal substances.

aha, so that´s why i you can exactly remember that day and time after all these months. ;)
 
 
i just noticed that there is something wrong with the new theme anyway, the sidebar with the user avatars is almost twice as broad as it should be (moz win10)

when i think about it we should... no wait, it seems more safe to formulate it as question: is it wrong to suggest that the pictures should simply be of the same size than the surrounding container?

i mean the width of the post text is fixed, which i appreciate.

Indeed.. But I am certain I saw embedded images when I checked the site from a different machine without logging in a month or so ago. And no, I wasn't under influence of illegal substances.

Embedded images can be seen by anyone.
Not true in this particular "embedded" case @ssp3. ::)

And now, the difference between the "old" (left) and the "new" (right).
Note the loss of the complete 600 width image displayed on the right.

*Again, not on my regular workstation and using Graphic Converter
  instead of my customary Photoshop. Otherwise I could accurately
  assess the measurable loss of image via the new 2.0 layout.

The good thing about the "thumbnails only" posts is that non-registered users can not see them, inviting people to subscribe, if they want to learn more. Embedded images can be seen by anyone.

i understand how it can be useful that people do not have to add pictures "twice" by first attaching them and then (in a second attempt to edit the post) link it using img tags, as this always was a mess.

many posts here ended up with attachments-only for that reason, so that the reader of the site later had the option to choose between either a 8k mobile phone image or a 120x120 mini preview - but no option to look at the image in a useful size. :)

however, a quote at x600 does not fit on monitor of x1600 with a relatively normal setup (firefox windows at 133% zoom) so that you have to scroll already.

in a normal post is fine though. so i guess maybe i should only talk about quotes and not about preview size. image size of 600 in normal posts is fine!

Wow!!! Great addition! Make sure to post about it at System 7 Today as well! :)
Need to dig out a 9250 and test it on my 8600.

EDIT:
I see that you already did ;)

Especially interested in your results with 1920x1080 and bigger resolutions via DVI-D output. I was hoping to get 3440x1440@30Hz from my PowerTower, but my 9250 PCI card's DVI output is flaky at that setting or any other large resolutions.

3440x1440 via DVI on a G4 Mini  8)

(at 30Hz refresh rate--you can't win 'em all)

Wow! Which Mini and with what ATI driver?

1.25GHz Mini, basic Mac Mini v9 install CD driver set, on a Dell U3421WE monitor via DVI->HDMI cable.

My Mini fuzzes out trying 1920x1080@60 on the same display, so it's a fantastic spot of luck that it negotiates the native resolution at 30Hz.

My 9250 PCI card is unreliable at both of those settings, forcing me to stick with a Radeon 7000 in my PowerTower running MacOS 7.6.1. :-(
