So SSH was on and accessible? Dumb move. Like saying "I dare you to steal my jewelry from my bedroom -- oh, and my house is unlocked with the windows open."
No enabling ssh with very strong account passwords is not like leaving the windows open... it actually is rather secure if you are running current ssh (if not as secure as having ssh off).
In the case of this contest they GAVE folks ssh logins so they could login as a local users. Having local user access IS like leaving the windows open.
I have the same chipset in my HP S7320 slimline PC
The HP Pavilion s7320n Slimline Media Center PC has a GMA 900 in it (and either the 910 or 915 chipset) . The new Mac mini has a more capable GMA 950 in it and the more capable 945 chipset (not to mention a better processor).

That part of the treaty you quote doesn't match with what you said "those states that have nuclear weapons are required to dispose of them". It doesn't require them to dispose of them... just "pursue negotiations" on additional treaties for disarmament. It doesn't require that such additional treaties come into existence.
So you are mischaracterizing what the non-proliferation treaty states.
While iTunes is great, $.99 a song is NOT great especially considering I can pick up a CD for cheaper than that is -- packaging and all
Then pickup that cheap CD and rip it using iTunes and use that music on your iPod, no need to buy from iTMS unless you want to.
I am not arguing that point... but the fact is that if you want an iPod and legal music on it, then you have to use iTunes.
Humm... you may be confusing things some.
iTunes is Apple's music playing and library management software. It supports ripping music from CDs into MP3, ACC, Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV files. It supports importing and managing music from several file formats. It also provides the main way of managing what music (among other items) that you have on any number of synced iPods. Finally it provides access to the iTunes Music Store (iTMS) (you don't have to use the store at all). iTMS sells music in Protected ACC format (FairPlay) that can be played back by iTunes on up to 5 authorized systems (can move authorization around), synced onto iPods for portable playing (no extra charge) or burned to CD (no extra charge).
The iPod has the ability to play almost all of the audio formats that iTunes supports only one of which is DRM protected (one purchased from iTMS). If you have CDs, etc. you can import that music in iTunes and then use iTunes to sync that music on to any number of iPods. In other words you do NOT have to purchase music from iTMS in order to get legal music on your iPod.
(the above is ignoring the video, podcast, etc. support in iTunes...)
No the A1000 ("Commodore Amiga 1000") was release in summer of 1985 and the Macintosh 128K was released in January of 1984. The Apple Lisa which has aspect of the interface that was later used in the Mac was released in January of 1983 (but had existed in various circles near / external to Apple since around 1980... my Dad had early release access to a Lisa in mid 1982 IIRC).
I run Linux, and don't use iTunes. Can someone clarify if the license for music downloaded from iTunes is transferable? If it is, then you can go ahead and transfer your license to someone. I don't think that it does, and I don't think it ever will have a provision like that.
To play protected ACC files (FairPlay) on a computer you must use (legally speaking and as implemented) iTunes and that system has to be authorized to play the music by the iTMS account that purchased the music in the first place (your can authorize up to five systems at any given point in time per account).
iPods music collections are only allowed (legally speaking and as implemented) to be slaved to a single iTunes instance at a given time. A given iTunes instance can master any number of iPods. In the case of FairPlay the set of songs that an iTunes instance is authorized for can be copied on to a slaved iPod and that iPod will be able to play those song without any further connection back to that iTunes instance.
Anyway in a nut shell you have to transfer your whole iTMS account to another party in order for them to legally be able to play any music purchased via that account, even if that music exists on an iPod. So you cannot transfer a sub-set of songs, it is all or nothing.
Yes but if you are board designer, chip set designer, etc, or operating system implementer you still have to deal with many of errata since your hardware or software could encounter any of those CPUs in the wild (from the set of the you support of course).
It looks like AMD keeps errata listings for their chips in the "AMD Dev Central Vault" which requires a registered login... so it may not be possible to do a direct link (at least I couldn't find them after searching). I assure you AMD chips have errata to varying degrees and in generally the same numbers as just about ever other chip vender (see my other post for an example listing).
Not sure I understand the point of this new article... all chips have errata. This is like reporting that the sun set again or that slashdotters have no love life.
For eample...
The MPC7410 family of chips (aka G4) from Freescale (formally part of Motorola) has 21 errata currently listed: MPC7410CE.pdf
The MPC7447 family of chips (aka G4) from Freescale has 36 errata currently listed: MPC7457CE.pdf
Mac OS X has user land tools from FreeBSD and various aspect of kernel subsystems are from FreeBSD but that is about it. The kernel proper, the driver environment (IOKit), the windowing environment (Quartz / Aqua), etc. are Apple's own technology, some of it rather different then any other unix.
In the case of something like WINE one of the bigger issues is having to meld it to Quartz/Aqua for its graphical environment (Mac OS X is not X11 based but you can host X11 apps in Aqua if the user has installed X11).
In our tests, a large C++ project finishes a full clean build slightly (a matter of seconds) sooner on a Quad Tower than it does on a Core Duo iMac. So the 2-core Intel is only slightly slower than the 4-core Quad for full builds.
Warning: every project is different, and the dynamics of disk and cache speed and latency, processor saturation, process threading, and system memory will affect your results significantly. But we are very pleased with the IDE and compiler performance on the Intel chip.
gcc is certainly faster. Subversion compiled in 5 minutes, 16 seconds on my dual 2.7 g5 with 1.5 gigs of ram. It compiles in 4:32 on the 1.83ghz intel mac with 1 gig of ram. Which makes me happy.
Apple isn't a hardware or software company... they are a solutions company and they like to own or strongly control as much of the solution as possible to ensure it lives up to their goals. It really is that simple.
On thing that is not called out in this article (at least not well) is that Apple is saving R&D costs and R&D time by not having to develop its own chipset like is has done in the past. Instead Apple is utilizing Intel developed and manufactured chipsets. Intel has the economy of large volumes for their chipsets, Apple did not.
When Apple was making its own chipsets they could only afford to revamp them every couple of years because of the low volumes in relation the development cost and manufacturing tooling and ramp. Now Apple can refresh their chipset and product offering as often as Intel does without excess cost.
The component costs per unit may be higher but saving in both time and money other places will help make up for that.
Hardware firewalls only can solve active attacks (all folks should have one) but it doesn't solve passive attack (those social engineering ones). I have seen countless examples of a Windows user visiting online chat forums and viewing pages then find attempt to have spy ware downloaded either automatically or with a little trickery. The average user is never really going to be able to fend off all social engineering attacks sadly.

To be clear... Xcode utilizes all available cores (fires up a file compile per logical core usually).

But in the same treaty those states that have nuclear weapons are required to dispose of them, so USA is breaking that treaty.
Which treaty you looking at?
TREATY ON THE NON-PROLIFERATION OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS
Hardware firewalls only can solve active attacks (all folks should have one) but it doesn't solve passive attack (those social engineering ones). I have seen countless examples of a Windows user visiting online chat forums and viewing pages then find attempt to have spy ware downloaded either automatically or with a little trickery.
