Slashback: Safety, Transmissions, Breakage
A soft spot on the Apple?MacXGuy writes: "I recently obtained by free 10.1 upgrade from the Apple Store in the Mall of America. After installing it on my Titanium PB-G4 XFree4.1 (http://www.mrcla.com/XonX/) no longer works. (I'm definitely not installing it on my Dual 800 G4 until a workaround is found.)"
Since most of the stuff I've heard about the 10.1 upgrade has been positive to the point of suspicion, I wonder if anyone else has experienced similar upgrade quibbles with it.
Another good reason for a complex infrastructure. PhantomHarlock writes "New York City officials requested and got what's left of Metricom to re-activate the wireless network in the area surrounding the World Trade Center. Rescue and cleanup crews are using the network to coordinate and access death certificates filed online. Only one rooftop transmitter had been destroyed, the other four are still intact."
Even when you're right, you're wrong -- as the fine print clearly shows. An anonymous reader points to column in InfoWorld about interpreting the overlapping, contradictory and sometimes funny EULAs that accompany Microsoft products. Microsoft certainly isn't alone in that regard either -- ever read a EULA you thought was totally fair, unambiguous, and satisfying? Mr. Anonymous writes: "This was amply illustrated last week after I mentioned here that the EULA (end-user license agreement) for FrontPage 2002 contains a term prohibiting use of the software in connection with a site that disparages Microsoft or its online services. I love it."
The only place to hunker is a well-connected bunker. severn2j writes: "It seems that AL Digital's nuclear bunker (posted on /. a few weeks ago), has paid off for them in light of the attacks on the U.S. So much so that they've got another one."
And for all your fair-use needs ... An Anonymous Coward writes "Maybe lyrics.ch is going down now, but most of its content and even more is available from LyricsDot which is not going to close."
Good to hear. Amateur song transcription really isn't such a bad thing, except when you consider most of the songs.

Judas Priest You've Got Another Thing Coming
One life I'm gonna live it up

Well listen this night there'll be some action spent.
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots

If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again.
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
If you think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another think comin'.

Dio - Rainbow In The Dark
When there's lightning - it always bring me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
But it was cold - I lost my hold
To the shadows of the night
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Do your demons - do they ever let you go
When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're a picture - just an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
When there's lightning - it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware
There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Whether we are (up) or not, you can be sure someone will already have acquired this futuristically styled set of URLs from us, as a result of their interest in (whatever's left of) the brave gnu world of open/honest communications/commerce, & their ability to follow simple directions.
we don't need to ask if you've seen these face scans of the REAL .commIEs.
fud is dead, at least in these parts.
The only thing there is to fear is /. itself.
Karma stuck at 50? Add 2-5 inches.. err.. 2-5x Karmas Count to your pen1es.. err.. Karma all naturally and private
if there is a nuclear incident in the vacinity of the bunker what happens to all forms of connectivity to the outside?? Fiber optics? Satellite dishes etc???
unless they run the Fiber cables through 6 inches of lead sheilding for atleast 2 to 3 hundred kilometers.
Saudi Arabia is an absolute monarchy; the citizens have absolutely no means whatsoever to change any aspect of their government. The ruling Saud family practices the same form of austere Islam (Wahhabism) that is promoted by the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Is this the model of government that the US is so fond of promoting throughout the world?
I like to consider it Zen trolling. I troll because I am a troll. I have in mind and spirit become the troll that I have performed. I do not seek to troll, nor do I seek not to troll. I do not seek. I only do.
Does the +5 Insightful poster attempt to be insightful? If he does, then he is no more insightful than a sea cucumber is lucky to be in the ocean. The poster who tries hard to be recognized is pitiable. The poster who posts without endeavor but accomplishes without effort is in the perfect state of Zen.
duh, it says to right on the sourceforge XonX site!
/. sensationalisim, yes Apple has made some dumb legal moves etc, but they also make some cool, largely open source, software.
One clueless user doesn't know how to use a third party package, and people blame Apple. I am soo fucking sick of
Russia don't give a fuck about Harry Fux. Harry Fux can suck Russian Cox. They aren't going to get anywhere.
Thank you, Sir, my delusions have been cleared away and I have entered the true path of trolling.
my email name is latin, look it up
What the hell does a lack of breasts have to do with Latin...?
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve the problem, use more.
