Forgive me if I am incorrect, however I believe your real gripe is about the missing Sorenson codec for Linux. If this is the case, I suggest you take up your gripes with Sorenson. They're the guys with the patent.
The dude is a total twit who just doesn't know. In addition to being incapable of downloading and installing the correct software for his Palm, dude also says "The problem with lacklustre third party development has prompted Apple to create its own browser, which it calls Safari." Isn't that kind of like saying "The problem with lacklustre third party development has prompted Microsoft to create its own browser, which it calls Internet Exploder"? To sum up his article in one statment, I hear him saying: "Microsoft is a better single source than Apple". *yawns*
Apple put out Safari to show the finger to Microsoft in not one but three ways: 1) It's not OS X that causes crappy IE performance. 2) We don't need you to make our browser for us. 3) BTW, it seems a vendor of proprietary software CAN INDEED benefit from using software released under GPL. I suppose the clueful may read in there something to the effect of M$ can't even write tight code on a good OS. Anyway, all three of these fingers are designed in a very calculated way to discredit Microsoft and send their PR guys scurrying back to their secret contingency regroup coordinates. That's the real story here.
Just to level set, I'm coding in mod_perl. All cookies are set and checked at the server. It may be different for.asp implementations, but I wouldn't know because I've never done that. Definitely using Javascript on the client side to modify cookies will lead to the kind of issues I imagine you are envisioning (or experiencing).
Since the cookies are rotated by the server, the browser sends the same cookie for "open link in new window"; at least all the browsers I have checked. (I am curious if you have experienced otherwise, and will appreciate any sharing) After the new window is up and loaded, the new cookie is in the browser, so the old page will send the new cookie on the next click, or to step back and view the whole scenario, any page will use the latest cookie on hand when building a HTTP request.
Not sure exactly what you mean by "two sections", however taking a stab at it, I open different tabs in Mozilla to different parts of the same application.
What is a problem is accessing multiple documents simultaneously. For certain pages, like where several images from a secured area are returned, the images do not rotate the cookie, rather each page does. Technically, I know this constitutes multiple HTTP transactions...I really mean a transaction from the user's perspective. I apologize if you now find my post somewhat misleading. Using mod_gzip (and a server with adequate bandwidth) helps keep the user from opening a crapload of extra windows, mitigating this effect. Other UI tricks can be used to ensure only one page at a time is requested from the server.
Well, the authentication/authorization system I have just completed for my web applications sends the password once. A cookie is returned to the user as a Session ID. The Session ID is good only for the very next transaction. Upon completion of the next transaction, the Session ID is rotated to a new value, which again is good for the very next transaction. It's really only a couple of extra lines of code to implement.
The enormously huge differences are: 1) a computer virus kills your COMPUTER, not you and 2) there are way many more people capable of authoring software patches vs. creating vaccines.
Indeed this is not the "same" argument used to quash the full-disclosure movement. In fact, this is Timothy utilizing the same sensationalistic tools so commonly employed by the mass media. As I have said many times in the past, time to go, Timothy...I mean, Timmaaay.
I liked Nemesis. It seemed shorter than it was, IMO a sign of a good movie. I think the reason it tanked is because Insurrection totally sucked. I was hesitant to see Nemesis because I felt like I got screwed paying to see Insurrection, and went to see it because a friend wanted to go see it with me.
I kind of doubt they use the Internet to connect their branches to the 'net. They probably run a dedciated T1 into each branch for voice, and channel bank some data circuits off of that. T1 is more economical for voice at about 8-10 phone circuits (for business customers), so why pay "extra" for a broadband connection, especially when 2-4 channels of the T1 will handle the load?
Probably what happened is something got into one of their extranet apps, hopped over the firewall, and then was inside. Their internal network collapsed under the load of the worm. Even more embarassing, IMO.
what an idiot i am! (smacks head really hard) how did i forget? how about BOB II (that's what i call the tablet pc -- think about it and what BOB was supposed to do).
Sure they did, it was the "Unrecoverable Application Error", which they promised would never happen again after Windows 3.1. To make good on that promise, the exception handlers now give us the Blue Screen of Death instead, so I guess they also invented the "Solution to the Unrecoverable Application Error".
Yes, but only if you wanted to call it a FireWire port, and that was before Apple came around a couple of monnths ago and realized they should "do the right thing" and give the name to the IEEE. BTW the royalty-free option to equip with FireWire was to call it an IEEE-1394 instead. And I believe they could not say "FireWire" in a Beavis and Butthead episode no matter how much paid in royalties. K mebbe that last line is a troll, however it may bring a smile to your face if you get it.
guess vadim_t doesn't fly very much... i type a lot and i touch type most of the time, although i guess not clerical-assistant-style as my/. new acquaintance vadim_t. the fly light was invented for people, like me, who can type fast, and also need to see the keys in low light. BTW dude, did it occur to you that you have a qwerty-to-dvorak translation map in your head, and possibly still take visual cues from the keyb and translate them?
Apple made fly lights obsolete last week, and I might add, in fabulously brilliant style. And yes, the only reason the feature is worth crap is because the keys are etched through and backfilled with fiber optic to illumniate the letters on keys. Whomever submitted and posted this story don't see that the chotsky crap linked above is no comparison.
Whew! I'm glad I actually read the page you linked. Thanks to my slight dyslexia I thought the page would be about what Hogan's Heroes used to do to Colonel Klink.
Dude I hate the DMCA as much as the next guy, but I think "It would take mere miliseconds to remove such things from a linux (or OSS win) capture util." would qualify as circumvention of a copy protection feature.
News you can lose...maybe. Except for this: when you enter a contact in your Palm, that contact info gets on all your computers (via iSync), acessible from all your applications, including your web address book for those situations when you're away from your own computers, and you've left the Palm at the office (or wherever).
Sounds kind of like something I wish I had for a long time now...and please don't tell me Exchange is a *solution* for this.
Wouldn't you know it not 3 minutes after posting this, I point my browser to MacRumors, carrying the same story with a little different spin. They link over to Ars which in turn linked out to this article which says Apple is simply switching contractors. Perhaps/. was trolled or maybe Hemos was just gaslighting all the peecee zealots out here. Yeah, that's it, I was just gaslighting them...Yeah.
Seriously... The 15" is far from discontinued; it can be purchased from Apple right now. Whether it is discontinued next week or not remains to be seen. My call is the best information the reporter could get his hands on is that production contracts end in June. Will the contracts be renewed? Or will other vendors be chosen? Tune in next week.
Same Bat Time... ...same Bat Channel
I can say that looking back, Apple has made choices that were designed to increase their use of certain key components, in an effort to drive the price down. Using notebook components in the original iMac is what made the iBook so cheap. Getting rid of the 15" may just be a move to increase the scale of the 17" display.
In any event, to quote the article (which *I* read BTW), flat panel iMac sales are anything but flat:
It is estimated that about 500,000 to 600,000 flat-panel iMacs were sold in 2002 following their introduction last January. The once highflying desktop computer, which created a buzz with its desk lamp-like look, is expected to sell another 300,000 to 400,000 units between now and June.
So, let's see...They expect in the first half of 2003 to sell about 2/3 as many units as were sold in all of 2002. I don't know about the new math they're teaching kids these days, but that calculates out to 50-60% growth using my formulae.
Thanks for the link. Even more interesting, to me anyway, is this page (same site), where 62.1% of EQ players sampled in the study consider themselves addicted. Denial being what it is, I am surprised that nearly 2/3 of the respondents fessed up. I would hasten to guess that perhaps about another 15-25% of the respondents know deep down they are addicted, however refuse to admit it. I am curious to see figures on what the weight gain while playing (being addicted to) EQ are like.
IMO, the surges in the industry attract a bunch of riff raff, which get purged when times get tough. Not to disparage the articl poster (or is it poseur:-) jest kidding); he may be a great engineer, just too much of the riff raff feeding from the new jobs trough. When it comes to staying employed, it's really about whom you know and your reputation. Anyway, during the slumps is when the real core of the industry gets to innovating the next wave...

Does anyone think it is likely to get Ethereal running on this little doohickey?

That would make it a Self Contained Underwater Boogie Aparatus.

It's kind of like Larry kneeling down behind Curly, then Moe pushing Curly real hard.
Well, this should be enough to re-ignite the iWalk rumors again.
