  1. Re:Old OS on No More Fair-Price Refund For Declining XP EULA · · Score: 1

    In theory Vista and 7 have EFI support... Anyway, what I meant with the question is that how would Apple handle such a request. I guess the answer would be something like: "Sorry, it's a package deal".

  2. Re:Old OS on No More Fair-Price Refund For Declining XP EULA · · Score: 1

    This brings up the question: can I buy a Mac and then request a refund of the full retail price of Mac OS X, stating that I decline the OS X SLA (Software License Agreement, as they call it)?

    Apparently it's hosted in Romania and the local RIAA already tried to take it down.

  4. Re:free upgrades? on Apple To Ship Mac OS X Snow Leopard On August 28 · · Score: 1

    Vista can resize partitions easily. But it cannot move them, so if you would want to grow that 20 GB partition, you would have to delete "D:" first, do the resize and then recreate D:. Oh, and the answer to your question: probably yes :p

  5. Re:Are you crazy if you rush out and install it? on Apple To Ship Mac OS X Snow Leopard On August 28 · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can do the install yourself. I haven't tried 9.04 PPC, but 8.10 ran pretty fine (with the obvious limitations of the PPC platform) on my iBook G4. If configured properly, it even feels snappier than OS X.

  6. Re:Spammer's delight? on Network Neutrality Back In Congress For 3rd Time · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My ISP does it like this: outbound port 25 is blocked (probably inbound too, never tried) by default, you can use only their SMTP server. But if you need it, you can ask them to open it up for you, explaining shortly why you need it. The whole thing is done online, within their website. They specifically state there that if you're sending spam, they will block it again. Disclaimer: I'm in Europe, but I think such a solution would be legal even under the net neutrality act, and still prevent large amounts of spam from infected PCs. The approach seems right: if a user doesn't know what port 25 is, they probably don't need it. :)

  7. Re:We put an OS in your browser in your OS! on Emulated PC Enables Linux Desktop In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    The easy one is the 'ssh on 443'. In our environment, we use authenticated proxies to get to the Internet, which also are doing SSL MITM attacks, ie terminating the client's ssl session on the proxy, inspecting the traffic, and then re-encrypting it to send out.

    How do you prevent the user from getting an SSL security warning? Or they just know what's going on and have to deal with it...

    I would be interested in how do you do that.

  11. Re:Lingering connections handling on Attack On a Significant Flaw In Apache Released · · Score: 1

    That depends on the ISP. My connection is PPPoE based, and most of the time bringing the connection down and up again is all it takes to get a new IP address (from a quite large pool).

    Truecrypt is free-as-in-beer. Ok, so it may not be free-as-in-speech. So what? I just want to use it, why should I care? As long as it's open source, I can take the time and read the source and make sure it really does what it says and does it well.
