A while back, a friend of mine at a university printed up several dozen flyers with a QR code pointing to LemonParty and posted them around campus. Hilarity ensued as he took pictures of people's reactions as they scanned them.
This should help:
sudo nano -w/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
Add in the following lines:
LowPriorityIO
This will cause the AFP server on the file share to have only spare access to the disk.
This was dead before they wrote the first line of the spec. The MP3 genie is out of the bottle and there's no amount of wishful thinking that can be done by the record companies to stuff it back in.
I had the RTM installed on a first-gen Mac Pro and everything worked out of the box. Sure the Apple drivers put a startup disk selector in, and fix the clock sync issue but driver-wise what's the point?
Google's Keystone agent launchd object resides at ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.google.keystone.agent on OS X. You can remove this file, but I assume Chrome will re-create it. Open it up with TextEdit and change the ProgramArguments string to "/dev/null" and you're done.
The only reason this is even news is because of the target. If there's no government communication on the account, why are the FBI and Secret Service involved?
How many times a day do bitter exs break into each others accounts? Nothing ever comes of those incidents.
He called it "a" rathole, not "that" rathole. And he's right, for the moment.
Until all the DRM gets solidified (and legal downloadable larger-studio content won't happen without DRM, regardless of what anyone says) and the bandwidth to pull down large files reachs a larger share of the American populace I wouldn't waste my time either.
Didn't the Halo idea start as an RTS for the Mac eons ago? I've seen a video where the developers were commenting about an RTS which had Halo-based units.
Sometimes I wonder when Linus uses phrases like 'Kicks Ass' 'Couldn't care less' etc., (I refer to his fruity prose in the debate on microkernels) whether he's really suited to his job. Projects like Linux and PHP have a very high reputation, it is unbecoming of bigwigs to talk and act like Ballsmers.
99% of the CEO / CIO / Ballmer-esque level people I've electronically communicated with has had grammar just as bad in un-spun, non-PR whitewashed exchanges. It's not just open source.
Windows has never done this. Even the old dualie Celerons on the ABit BP6 required a reinstall, and I don't see that changing as it's a fundamental change for Windows.
Found one that said "SECURE_ME". A quick Windows share enumeration showed sales data and presumably credit card information avaliable to anyone who was listening.
I informed the business owner that it needed to the secured, and he said his ISP had called and asked him about an "open access point - whatever that is". I sighed and left.
I'm sure designing a voting machine is fraught with rules and regulations I'm not aware, but just how hard is designing a system to keep track of a limited number of choices made avaliable to a user?
One would think with some thought and a little good design practice that a small group could produce a stable system with a paper trail and reproducable results.
Seriously, this is something second year software design / engineering students could tackle. But yet we still here about an extra million votes here, or a crashed machine losting all the votes there...
Back in high school, being on the geek squad meant I fixed all the dead computers in the school buildings in the system.
I had an all-in-one Mac refusing to boot one day, and narrowed it down to the hard drive. After finding that I lacked a replacement for it, I beat it on the table and tried. to my complete surprise, the machine booted fine.
"and tapes and disks cost SO MUCH to buy and store"
I wonder what the reaction to my 49.99 60 gig, ATA 100 drive would have been? I'm 21, but I can remember paying 129.99 for a 6.4 gig and that was the 'ish! Dad said something about 300$ for a 40 MEG drive way back when.

You realize that you're about to be sued into oblivion right?

My text usage has dropped about 85% now that iMessage is automatically taking every iPhone user's texts over the Apple's server systems. Pretty handy.
I didn't know we have bus service beyond a very basic series of downtown routes anymore. The TSA educated me today!

If you think any kid was FORCED to take this brand new, shiny laptop that everyone is getting you're out of your mind.

Why is this not +5 Terrifying?

Talk about coming full circle.

Jesus, you just described the product my company produces exactly...
Glad to see I'm not the only one dealing with such issues.
"...all our own new grads will be working at Starbucks serving lattes..."
What I wonder is how much coffee all those CEOs/execs will have to drink to keep those grads in a job.
a nice slam on the table to get a drive working.

I then called it a day and went home.
It's kinda funny that when I viewed this story I saw this at the bottom of the page:
186,000 Miles per Second. It's not just a good idea. IT'S THE LAW.
