That you RTFA. This is/. after all. But if you did you would have seen:
No amount of extension cable will make a wired hands-free usable - the wire always conducts enough RFI to cause trouble, regardless of any filters that might be in place.
So connecting the phone directly to the hearing aid via a wire isn't an option.

Well, It is meant to ask a question, and hopefully get some feedback.
I have a 667MHz TiBook. It is the best machine I've ever owned. It isn't perfect (the WiFi reception could be better (supposedly fixed on newer models) and it feels a bit sluggish at times) but I much prefer it to my Windows Boxen, at home or at work. I used Unix in grad school and have toyed with Linux. But give me OS X over any of them.

Without IP laws, companies would be forced to do as good of a job designing and implementing the product for fear of a competitor coming along and doing it better than they.
BZZZZZTTTT WRONG
Without IP laws you have no recourse when your competitor takes your product idea and markets it as their own.
Publicly releasing the info would not benefit me in any way unless I was a security products vendor hoping to cash in on Cisco's failure.
I mostly agree.
If the vendor refuses, within a reasonable time frame, to fix the problem taking it public may be the only way to force them to do so.
You might also consider that while you may have a means of protection (vendor supplied or home grown) others are still vunerable. And this may impact you. And thus it may be to your benefit to alert others.
I certainly can't understand why anyone would willingly get their information from an inaccruate source, and then use that information to either form opinions or attempt to advance their views.
You are assuming that the arguer values accurate information. In the fundamentalist vs. evolution debate the fundamentalists value their world view over accuracy.
So it is ok to break the law, as long as it is good for the economy?
It has nothing to do with with the "current administration" or even the elections this fall.
Sure it does! You made the argument yourself. The administration is neglecting the law because a bad economy would hurt their chances of being re-elected!
A quick google search for "apple vs microsoft look and feel" turned up:
The Apple vs Microsoft case did not end look-and-feel cases. The law has grown to make such claims stronger than when Apple made its claim. Apple lost because CEO Steve Sculley signed a licensing agreement with Microsoft that allowed them to copy the Mac look-and-feel in MS applications for the Mac. What Sculley missed is that agreement was broad enough for Gate's and company to copy the look-and-feel in anything else they wanted. Apple in recent years has been very successful in protecting its "color of trade" and other infringement claims. Ideas and concept can't be copyrighted, but original renditions or "expressions" of those ideas can and are protected.

and
Apple vs. Microsoft [11]. In this case, Apple alleged copyright infringement based on the argument that the Microsoft Windows 2.03 GUI (graphical user interface) operating system had the same "look and feel" as the Macintosh's GUI operating system. Was Microsoft acting ethically when it created a GUI (graphical user interface) operating system that had similar look and feel to Macintosh's GUI operating system? As the case mentions, Apple did license certain portions of its GUI (e.g., icons, dialog box layouts, etc.) to Microsoft.

Which happens to be a great book if you've never read it.
And what kind of book is it if I have read it?

Check the date on the Silicon.com story linked to in the blurb, it is May 26.
Apple's last security update was released on June 7.
Thus the blurb appears to be old news, refering to Apple's first fix for only part of the problem.

They really need to stop assuming everyone who reads /. knows it all.
They don't assume you know it all. They do assume you are smart enough to do some research and find info on stuff you don't understand.
How hard is it to google "SMP"?

The 10D and the 300D/Rebel have the same sensor. And the sensor is a CMOS not CCD chip.

FM Radio died a while ago. When the FCC (or was it congress?) relaxed the rules on station ownership. Bye bye diversity. Hello corporate bland.
But I agree that having thousands of idiots kicking the corpse ain't gonna help it get any better.

I'm sure you could find more on your own.
This has nothing to do with MS investing in Apple. It was about Windows v2.x.
Me thinks it's you that requires a spell checker.
SteveM
One of the specifics that you don't remember (and I don't entirely remember either) is that Apple and MS had license agreements.
MS claimed the license agreement covered what they were doing. Apple disagreed.
MS won.
