I have AT&T. I live in San Francisco. AT&T regularly drops calls. I cannot make calls from home without dropping them a minute or two into the conversation. I could not make calls from work until they installed an expensive repeater. Notice that AT&T lost EVERY SINGLE reliability comparison.
Being an unfortunate customer of AT&T wireless, this means there is no acceptable tower anywhere.
I live in the middle of San Francisco, and AT&T usually provides no service where I work (North Beach), volunteer (Mission), and live (Castro). I once thought sprint was the worst mobile phone company ever but at least I got signal.
1. Falco5768 is not slashdot. 2. There are at at least a fewarticles which are critical of Apple's security policies. 3. Apple has not actually stifled this person. They patched something. They may have failed to patch other holes. I hope they will work as quickly as possible to patch all exploits they know. 4. Note that the grandparent post is not yet modded very highly.
In future posts, please do not clump everyone on slashdot in to one unified entity. In future posts, only include actual facts instead of implied conjecture into actions that have not occurred.
If it got lost or stuck, is that considered a binary delivery? Would they then have to give the source code up?...of course, the modifications must not have been very good if that happens.
This is just made up garbage, and probably just a troll. Assuming it is not, are you able to point to a single place anywhere on/. where someone suggested a firefox extension to fix a security hold where it was received as 'all well and good?'
I would like to see an extension to tabbed browsing where you could grab a tab and make a new window out of it and pull it out of the current window. And I guess the inverse transform would be handy - allow merging of windows into tabs.
Most of my boxen have virtual desktops, so it's handy sometimes to have different windows on each desktop each with several tabs on the same subject. For example, I'll have one desktop with slashdot and a few links alongside IRC and another desktop reading API documentation for a project.
Another reason this is useful is so that when you open links from the mail program in a new tab, it does not always put the tab in the window you want.
A few years ago I was working about 12-14 hour days on two different jobs. Once you've been staring a tube for that long, you start to notice that CRTs do not always have sharp focus - doubly so for older monitors. After a few weeks my vision started to get blurry, so I sunk $3000 on an LCD. Within a couple of days my vision came right back to it's usual crystal clear 20/20. That's a lot of money, but it's easy on the eyes to look at an LCD all day and a lot less money than a lifetime of glasses.
I suspect the sharpness on the screen matters more than what kind non-visible electromagnetic radiation is coming out of it.
Damn straight. That's why you should try SecondLife. One time fee unless you are actually using server space. The whole thing is much more of a social game than a game of pouring more money into a publisher's pocket.
Wow, someone is fleeing to a corporation to escape censorship from the US government. I did not see that one coming. Michael Powell, I hope you are proud of your legacy.
Coffee lids, pens, toasters, and many other everyday goods seek and are trivially awarded 'design patents.' A design patent is much simpler than an invention patent, and really only protects the industrial design that went into the product. Essentially boiling down to, 'no one can make a widget that looks exactly like this.'
Why bite? What two ways is captainsuperboy talking about? Why is microsoft's trusted computing the only available answer when decades of solid math can be used to actually protect documents? Why is WRM the answer, when RSA, ElGamal, SHA signatures have been in place, and have been cryptoanalyzed by scientists?
Outside the realm of being an accessory to a crime, there is a notable exception to this rule - pandering. It is illegal to tell someone who sells sex services, ie, pimping.
There are several social implications of public dispaly of friends that I do not want to get into which go far beyond saying 'your friend knows them.'
Some of the useful things you can do with this kind of service:
* You go to Alice's party, and meet Bob. You and Bob hit it off, but because both of you had a few beers you forget to exchange contact information. Alice's friends page to the rescue - you can message Bob.
* You love circus peanuts and want to find other people willing to loudly declare their same love. You form a loose affiliation of circus peanut lovers, and eventually form Circus Peanut Con 2005 for you to all get together and wallow in your shared yet usually reviled love.
* You can frequently find high school buddies and ex-sweethearts and say 'hi' in a casual way and not come off like a stalker.
This letter is further to the advisory posted by ICANN on 19 September 2003 regarding the changes to the operation of the.com and.net Top Level Domains announced by VeriSign on 15 September 2003, and in response to your letter of 21 September 2003.
No wonder Verisign didn't respond, September 19th is talk like a pirate day. I'm pretty sure ICANN didn't send a message with 'avast ye scurvy dogs! ye shanghi'd the entire high seas and should be keel hauled like dirty traitorous bilge rats!'
The site works fine with most browsers. At work I usually browse with mozilla, and at home I use Galeon - which both work fine. What browser are you using? I know the site does not work with links or lynx, but since the site is in support of a 3d MMOG, the priority for supporting text only browsers is low.
Windows NT is fading away. Win2003 is a good piece of work from what I've seen/heard - I wouldn't be so fast to declare Linux superior, not any more.
Do you have anything like uptime statistics, historical vulnerability records, or ANYTHING to actually back up this claim? You are believing an image that has been carefully constructed by the marketing department at microsoft.

For my needs, that makes them the worst provider.

Love it! Same thing with file pattern.
Complex numbers are multidimensional, and multidimensional numbers are sorted by the magnitude.
eg,
(4,0),(2,8)(1,0)
would have magnitudes of:
(4^2+0^2),(2^2+8^2),(1^2+0^2) = 16,68,1
and therefore sort (ascending) to:
1,16,68
which means our original list sorts to:
(1,0),(4,0),(2,8)
I'll have you know I have many good friends that let me hit them -- quite hard -- in some circumstances.
Ever heard of BDSM?
I'm pretty sure that if Bill had the ball gag and and leather restraints on, most jurisdictions would not prosecute.
The official announcement from Linden is on the Second Life Blog.

Purely anecdotal, but here's my experience.

That would look great in a trial as you forced a microsoft exec to admit that a mac is a computing device of infinite power.

Debian is so robust, easy to administer, and easy to upgrade that the debian developers never see the installer once the system is up.

In an opposing decision, microsoft won the contract to suppply server and client software to the department of homeland security here in the US.
A recent press release on the site says
