All these people spending money of fucking laywers when they could have just spent the money and built the capability into thier web site to check the header. If it did not come from your site, reject it, send people to the front page, or redirect with _top to make sure that you kill any framing.
Someone should write companies whose web masters allowed laywers to be used, instead of a simple basic technology solution. Of course, since it's not a standard IIS feature, then it does not exist;)

Apple was unprofitable when PC companies were making a killing.
Now that PC Companies are losing a bundle, Apple IS profitable.
PC makers are killing themselves in the windows space.
If PC makers could sell comptuers at a profit without the hassles that windows brings then they probably would. Mac OS X and Linux are the two possibilities. Of that, the MacOS X has a better possibility of being profitable because of the Apple control on the OS, the established App installation, and the Cocoa Application layer.
The problem is that many accept what religon says as the truth. And science acknowledging it faults, as the that it can't be.
I can't scientifically proved that god doesn't exist, or that he didn't just poof the universe into existance (although I'm sure some could try). I can argue that GOD is not all-knowing and omnipotent More importantly, no religon is more correct than another.

Canvas 2 was superpaint* on steroids. Canvas 3 was a late buggy fucking product. But it was 200% easier to figure out than Illustrator88. canvas 3.54 was a final stable wonderful product. Canvas 5 was a late buggy slow product. Canvas 6 was a bloated product, that refused to read 3.0 and earlier files.
*Superpaint, the first vector and paint program by Silicon beach software (bought by aldus, who was bought by adobe). * Great interface Head of Silicon beach, Charlie Jackson, went on to create futuresketch and futuresketch animator. futuresketch animator went on to become flash.
"4)I am aware of no works... because of technical protection measures, become unavailable to persons who desire to be lawful users..."
5) same thing but "become less available"
Let's try this. Lots of DVD and videos go out of print, so they do become less available.
And Linux users cannot use them without resorting to "illegal" software, so I guess linux users are not lawful users.
Of course, they might argue that you can always go out and get a consumer DVD player.
But then you might argue that region encoding is not being used for the prupose intended. To allow for video release in areas where the film has been released, and to prevent viewing in areas where is has not been released. Instead movies which have been widely released are region encrypted to encourage maxiumum profit.
Hawking has a router with a lowest street of $150, with a $50 rebate, making it $100 after rebate .
Computers4sure has it for $150. non-afilliate link affillate link Not quite the deal of a 4 port switch, but hell, it's $100 with a web interface and telnet.
Lets see, it's an iMac w/o a screen, in a year for $300. It can probably hook right into MS's gameservers, where it will make it's money.
It's something to shoot for. It's attainable. Someone needs to develop a linux gamebox spec for embedded linux: Minimum CPU speed, graphic card hardware interface, sound card interface, port specs.
I really question the Reliability. How many consoles need a hard drive? It's only another thing to go wrong. What happens when the hard drive get screwed? They need the hard drive for some reason... WebTV recording?
It's used on MS's Remote Install Server to reduce duplicate files. Remote Install Server approx backup restore service.
Dantz Retrospect netowrk backup has had this since the early 90's. Application files don't change, so back up the first one, and ignore the rest, or compute a diff.
Filewave does the same thing for install services.
Got a great software wiard in the lead, Andy Hertzfeld. The one who's cludge, switcher, left us wih the get-info boxes that are the bain of the MacOS today.
Another project going on (for the last time) is Earthkam (on space.com), Digital camera in the shuttle, schools take pictures. Not quite as cool as the radar imagery, but still really cool.
If it's stable, and running, most people don't like admins fucking with thier machines. The machine works, it runs the software needed, and it gets the job done. Let an admin screw with it. No way. Would you let people fuck with your linux box?
Now that a machine on campus has been cracked, the poor admins will be saying, "we patch or you get no network connection", Before the crack, no admin had any weight to toss around. "Damn alarmist administrator" With the attack, the admins have a bit of weight to toss around for a month or two.
And of course the unposted, slashdot brings ucsb network to it's knees "The unusual activity from the campus computer was noticed by UCSB's network programmer, Kevin Schmidt, around midnight Tuesday after he conducted a routine check of the system from his home. He spent the night running a check to see if there had been an intrusion, and found that a campus computer was involved in what is called a "distributed denial of service" attack.
"We were a victim," Schmidt said. "And our computer network system was abused." After detecting the problem, Schmidt contacted CNN and then the FBI. Whoever broke into the system attempted to cover his tracks by rotating the origination addresses, but was "sloppy" and left some information intact. Still, computer experts said Friday that finding the culprit or culprits will be difficult because numerous layers of connections may be involved."
I interviewed there, and they said that the university was going to charge them $1000/yr to let them hang solaris boxes off the university network. The dept solution, buy macs, and if given, PC's. Told them at $1K a machine, they'd better have a lot of support, and that I couldn't figure out why they charge so much since the admins wouldn't have to leave thier desks to maintain the machines.
I did/do some consulting for a company. They had a couple of people doing the company web server.
They made new internal web page that was hide the information, eg move mouse over colored dot to find out what dot did. I told them that it was not a good interface, and their response was hit the go to old site button.
In another incident, a person was looking up a resume, and got back too many poor responses. I said walk down the hallway and tell the web database designer what you want to find. If he can't do it then he needs to redesign the front-end. They said it was not possible.
They ignore the input, and don't knwo what thier audience wants. And these web designers left for new jobs that paid 80 and 120k.
For one of my clinets wants a spinning logo, just like another site. That's number one on the client list. He has not given me half of the content for pages to complete the site, but wants a rotating logo.
You know computers and scalability... Think big, 5 orders of magnitude larger. There are scalability problems with rock experiments, it aint all heard near the ground surface. Quakes usually originate over a km deep (12km in general for the big San Andreas ones). Second is that most don't break the ground surface, or even come near it. So the plasma would need to migrate to the surface wiithout solidifing (yea right).
Ball lightening near faults is probably a related to natural gas escaping to the sruface rapidly, and going off. Gound shakes, pockets get relseased, and somehow light. Happens. I've talked to a couple of officers who saw it.
You know earthquakes occur within 6 hours of a high tide, too.
Many of you have been posting your questions and concerns in reference to the proposed Usenet Death Penalty (UDP) which would block the @Home Network from posting to USENET. I have attached our official response to the Usenet community and the press here but wanted to bring attention to a couple of points that are raised here:
- This afternoon we began a network wide scan targeting open proxy servers.
- If an open server is identified, the customer associated will be blocked from posting to Usenet until such time we are assured that the proxy software is secured.
------------------------------ To the USENET community:
In response to the recent UDP call for @Home Network to be removed from interacting on the USENET, we are submitting an official response with a proposal of short term and long term news spam prevention initiatives. Excite@Home is very committed to participating respectfully on the nternet, and we have taken previous requests for action seriously.
We have found that the primary source of our excessive USENET posting history comes from subscribers who have installed proxy software incorrectly. Unbeknownst to the customer, this mis-configuration has allowed outside access to the @Home news servers, and has resulted in our subscribers becoming spam relays. Because these various IP addresses create holes in our network, spammers have taken advantage of this mis-configuration, and have posted thousands of newsgroup messages through our news machines.
As of today, we are stepping up our involvement and taking more aggressive action by performing frequent network wide scans of our customer base to target proxy servers. Once these customers are identified, we are suspending their news service immediately. Re-enabling will not occur until we are assured that their machines are secure. We feel that this proactive effort will dramatically decrease the amount of extraneous news traffic originating from home.com.
We are committed to promoting better Excite@Home participation on the USENET, and we are in the process of modifying our current news product and news architecture. We are also implementing more user education as a parallel initiative.
With these new tactics in place, we are asking for an extension to our USENET access beyond the 18th of January and we are confident that the USENET community will see positive news statistics coming in the next few days.

They make the palm stuff, too. So it must be palms fault.
There is not even a version for Linux PPC. Just sounds like the engineer who championed it, lost his management champion. eg someone left after the sale.
Adobe dropped Display Postscript. Who knows the exact reason why (other than it was only used by next and occassionaly sun).
Apple created a new Display Engine based on Adobe's PDF standard.
I doubt the UI will be completely open sourced, it might be community source (send your checks to steve).
What the user community need to the Damn IO Kit. A set of standard driver development code. Then one set of drivers could be developed for Linux, BSD and Apple OS's.

Wasn't autocad's scripting based on the open source code xlisp parser?
So while it has not been duplicated (and honestly does not need to be duplicated), it was based on at least one part on an open source code project.
Then there is the reverse engineering required to get autocad plug in's to work. Even costly packages don't do it.
There was some open source cad engine code released a while back.
Many programs can read DXF, some even right it.
Poor Balmer, they don't even mention that he ran off to NeXT for a short period of time.
