Disclaimer: This question doesn't aim to start another controversy between Apple fans and Linux fans, it just explicitly asks for actual information and facts. By saying "tired of system freezes in Ubuntu" I do not intend to say that Linux is bad. I understand that cheap hardware with open source OS can result buggy performance. Please...

Obviously, we don't want to hardcode the plaintext password in each script. This would make cycling the password difficult since a ton of scripts would need to be changed in addition to the password being in plaintext in the first place. If the scripts takes the password as a parameter, then we need to worry about modifying the 'ps' out...

I have two shared libraries in Linux that when built are identical in all ways except that the one function that each exposes has a different interface (one takes in some 3rd-party array types and the other takes in strings). I can build both shared library versions, and I was wondering if there was a way that I can insert meta-informat...
