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.
Mac products are designed such that it is not necessary for the OS programmers to consider the variance in hardware. Mac products are standardized like game consoles, not PCs. If Apple released an upgrade, you can bet your bippy that they developed and tested it on the system that he's complaining it fails on.
Perhaps he tried to install Yellow Dog and that is causing his machine to stop working?
The Bunker offers the ultimate in protection from a myriad of attacks including; crackers, terrorist attack, electro-magnetic pulse, HERF weapons, electronic eavesdropping and solar flares.
/.ers, but IMHO SeaLand would offer you protection from the more immediate threat to your privacy from governments.
How does a bunker protect you from crackers? If I bury an unpatched IIS server in my backyard, it's not going to get broken into?
This place is still cool to
"Get them before they get....
Dear sweet Lord Jesus, leave it to some people to whine no matter what.
Yes, some HACKED PIECES OF SOFTWARE may not work under a new kernel. When you put a new Linux kernel in, does every HACK you've put in work? No. Most people who are getting 10.1 now are people who are going through a lot of effort to get it, and most would not mind updating other questionable pieces of software to insure compatibility. On the whole, 10.1 blows 10.0.4 out of the water.
"If you haven't seen them publicized, it's because you're not looking on Mac boards, but they're there."
Duh. Because people like you love griping about every little thing. Look at it as a whole. When you install XP, will you gripe about the fact that your hacked version of Everquest will not run on it, or try to find a native version of what you can?
