Mac OS X Hints site update
I don't know if this helps you at all but there is what I have:
10.5: Change folder sort order in the Finder's Kind view Today, 7:30 AM In the Finder's list view, if you sort by Kind, folders are lumped together in the middle of the list. If you'd rather see all the folders at the beginning of the list, here's how to change the sort order. In the Finder, navigate to /System » Library » CoreServices » Finder.app » Contents » Resources » English.lproj (or the folder for your language).

As one can imagine, this has the potential to cause a world of hurt especially for people on limited internet connections. Personally, I just don't like not having control over what my computer does; I say what software gets installed and when it gets run. Excuse me while I keep myself from getting carried away here and going on a big rant. Remove Google Earth's ability to install the update service Locate your copy of Google Earth, Control-click on the application and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu.

I happened to have both those pages open in tabs when the site got hacked. Unfortunately I refreshed the "folder sort" tab and of course lost the content. Couldn't even find a png of it in Safari's huuuuuge cache folder. But here's the text of the "google updater" hint: |
