But that means you can't stop. If one side sent only a 50th as much as usual, but all the letters were well written and heartfelt, the person counting would only notice that one side of the issue has 50x as much as the other. Now that it has been started, we can't go back.
Actually, the home version of OS X was released in early 2001, but the server version had been out for well over a year before that. I don't know why they did it that way, but I would assume that Apple had the stability down and the Unix background in place before they had perfected the quick Aqua interface and the Apple way of life. So it is not unreasonable for an OS X server to have been up that long (however, I'm surprised they haven't updated it in that amount of time -- I would have).
Don't call that just a Windows phenomenon. There are many cases where it is a good idea to save every email you get. Then again, there are others where it is a good idea to destroy all the evidence. Either situation can happen to you regardless of what OS you use.
There have been so many dupes in the past week I'm beginning to believe Taco is playing a joke on us. Every article he puts up has been done 3 days before... I could go on, but this has already been covered a dozen times in the last week.

Isn't that exactly what everyone said about IBM and TCPA? "It isn't DRM. It only gives you more security over your documents, and just because DRM can be built on it doesn't mean that it should be criticized with DRM. That's for Palladium..." I've heard all this before.
Or perhaps the schools have copies of the MS software and the students take it to their dorms and run their own MS servers from their rooms. I saw an article in Business Week about a year ago that said MCSE students are one of the largest reasons for the insecurities of the web and the spread of worms, because they take home the discs for the software they're learning about and install it at home and fail to properly set it up and patch it. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing was happening at these colleges.
I just hope MS doesn't point out that half of the sources of the worm are pirated copies of the software...
Files that are shared by a lot of people are more likely to be spoofed than files shared by a few people? The whole idea of the spoofing technique is to use a relative few machines to share a lot of different files that are corrupted. I would think that the files shared by more people would be the ones more likely to be real. After all, if you downloaded the corrupted version of something, would you share it?
"When Nintendo leaves the home game console business, that's when we leave the video game business."
Yup. When they stop selling consoles, they're done. It's not like they've ever made a game for another console...
The arcade is the only market I can think of that they might have a foothold in, but they aren't very prominent there. I think it's safe to assume that when they leave the console industry they leave the whole video game industry. That's not that big a statement.

Is not "sean23007" a word by which I as an entity am distinguished from the rest of the people here at Slashdot?

Her resignation takes effect at the end of this year? That's about the slowest acting resignation I've ever heard of. Couldn't she have gone by fiscal quarter?
True, but how many of the nuclear power plants in third world countries (you know, the ones we might pick a fight with) have state of the art safety systems? Many of those countries (note: Korea) who have nuclear plants may have got them from the Russians (perhaps brethren of Chernobyl). It is still fatally dangerous.
Facinating, troll, but how many of the nuclear power plants that are in the third world countries we might go to war with are state of the art? Oh? None? You mean they're all as old and crappy as Chernobyl? You mean they can blow up? Oh, shit. Too bad you're too much of a pussy to even give a name. Piece of dog shit.
You know how he likes to make a big scene. We were going to announce it on Monday...
And those are two obviously different situations. A small scale tactical weapon that can be used to surprise an opponent should not be publicized in the same way the a doomsday device should.
if you were going to launch a war soon, you'd want your enemies to believe you have several new, exotic and deadly weapons in your arsenal.
Unless, of course, you actually had them. In which case you would want to surprise the hell out of your enemies. Wouldn't you be freaked if you were in your little underground bunker and all of a sudden all the lights and systems went dark (for no apparent reason, and you didn't even know that the enemy could do that)? I've always thought it was foolish to reveal everything we have that can devastate our opponents. (Except, of course, from me. I still like to hear about it. Dilemma.)
And what if they did it to a nuclear power plant? At such a plant, a computer failure would cause a meltdown, unless they had someone sitting and waiting to take over just in case the computer fails (which I don't think they do). That's about the least safe thing I can imagine. In fact, in this case it's about as bad as dropping a bomb on the nuclear plant (perhaps worse, depending on the plant's other security measures), or as bad as dropping a nuclear bomb on the city. Note to Air Force: don't use it on a power plant...
That's a good point, but Apple has devised an incredible scheme of soundless cooling which would work in a recording studio (I'm surrounded right now by 3 Apple computers, and none of them are making the slightest peep. (2 iMacs and a Powerbook). I'm sure in the several years since they switched to PPC, they would have been able to figure out a way to cool their Alphas. (Maybe Macs would be the first consumer available system to use water cooling...)
If it ain't broken, it shouldn't be fixed. The problem here is that it is broken but nobody with the money realizes it. The rest of your comment is very true. The situation is broken, and does need fixing.

Probably shouldn't have said that.
