  1. Re:What we really need on Next iChat version to include Jabber support · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If Apple doesnt want to support this they can easily not do this.

    I personally would like apple not to allow transports at this stage. This would give Jabber the injection in need for further development.

    Given that the jabber 2.0 author is out of the picture until further notice and may not come back and v1.4.3 is lacking for many people (though an awesome product). Perhaps apple can pickup the check for a developer or two and bring jabber2.0 into production.

    Transports are politically charged will come quickly if the server side stuff is more robust.

    The two JEP's for avatars are also been declined. I wonder what iChat3 uses. I cannot wait.

  7. Re:Not much on Palmtop Nirvana? · · Score: 1

    i used to have a Kyocera SmartPhone(cell phone + palm)

    The idea of not having to swap at all. Having entire car ride at night (passenger of course) with back light display. Was great. The docking station/cradle also recharged the phone.

    And idea

    didn't someone get some instructions working on their graphics card to something simular for encryption not too long ago?

  9. Re:Not much on Palmtop Nirvana? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, why someone doesnt have a super-cheap re-tooled for the on the cheap palm3 is beyond me.

    Instead some of the new models dont even have backlight (yet they are speedy and the new graphitti is amazing)

    To add to your USB interface idea would be to have a rechargeable battery. Best of all would be to use some compatible battery type with a mega-popular cellphone. Even if it requires a small ridge down the back of the phone i wouldnt mind having the ability to swap a spare Nokia battery to or from my palm pilot or phone to keep going.

    Why palm didnt go with a startec battery in the begining while they were snug with motorola. they would have jumped light years.

    That very well could be. The 'signin' nature of it is just ripe for this sort of legal problem.

    Easy to achieve if you look at shared storage. 10 users with 10mb = 100mb of shared storage.

    Sharereactor (may you rest in peace) had how many 1000pb of 'shared resources' in their network?

    That number of the website was amazing

    where is the equivlent relay for this?

    where is the bandwidth coming from?

    spam works because of the insecurity aspects of smtp. voip on the other hand (as presented by the article via 'net phone' has costs associated with it)

    i dont see massive vonage asterisk boxes 'open' that are going to allow some spamer to directly send endless 'barely legal' or 'viagra' commercials to my vonage voice mail box.

    fancy scientific notion aside that monkey pineapple is a dead password. i dont see 64 symbols nor some chummpy 1 million words list that is going to protect it.

    nobody is using some mundane dictionary to beat down a password

    nobody who is attacking passwords is going to use just one machine.

    there are simple 'john on a floppy' bootdisks that will boot a library / lab computer and distribute crack DES, LM hashes or whatever.

    Porting newton to a modern processor, adding ram, adding modern IO (wifi/usb) and giving it some serious battery life would be a dream. I am not sure about color screen personally. If it impacts the battery run time i am against it.
