Actually, I don't know if it was really hacked or if their domain expired and someone picked it up.

The latter is far more likely.

This site's been dead for a long time.

Wow, I remember hearing about the MacThemes bringing it back. Guess that never happened.

The death of ShapeShifter and the iPhone seem to have really dried up the OS X customization market though, so I suppose it's not a huge loss.

Hackers, obviously. Okay, who installed the missing plugins that are required to view the page?

Behold the post is gone. After thinking it over I decided it was better to remove the offense and humble myself than to act like an ignorant jerk. I still meant the post as a concern of mine but since so many find it offensive I decided it was better for all that I delete it. No hard feelings either way. Have a great day you all. :

The word Muslim on a defaced website is enough to instill fear for the safety of the United States?

Oh man.

The actual terrorists have *so* won when people like you are what they're fighting.

NOTE: The above statement is pretty stupid, isn't it? Unfortunately, it makes every bit as much sense as your post.

You read what you wanted to hear, my friend.

I went as far as I thought would be permissible without outright calling this guy a ****ing moron, which probably would have landed me a citation.

Not really. I just think that you misunderstood what was being said.
My interpretation, and I think you find that this is probably what most people would have read, was that
Spheric was calling out one particular person, not Americans as a whole.

You've got a thin skin at times, you really do.

...to a legitimate concern but then considering the way we humans treat each other now it's not really a surprise. Whatever the case life goes on and so do I.

P.S. You all have a nice day and no hard feelings either way cause life's too short as it is.

Since the faded shreds of the HIG are being burnt to fuel the new Mac App Store, ResEx is less relevant than ever.

Yeah, this strikes me as a giant "What's the point?"

How long was it defunct for?

Sorry, I didn't notice it was even gone.
