It does everything for you. It works with either a scanner or you cna manually enter numbers.
It's also slower than molasses in January in Maine, if you have a sizable collection. We have ~3000 books and DVDs (95% books) and the app takes 30+ bounces to open on a dual CPU G4 with 1.25GB RAM, and often gives us the beachball of death intermittently for 45 seconds when it needs to catch its breath. I don't think I've seen such an unoptimized program (was it written in REALBasic??) since Word 6 came out. When it works, it works well, but those who need it the most will find it the most lacking.
Wow, blast from the past seeing "MKLinux" and then looking to see the username attached to it. Sends me back 9 years or so....Glad to see you haven't given up the cause. I think last I saw you were working on a floppy driver for it maybe?
Anyway, my geekfest is a PowerEdge running Mandrake 9.2* for postfix/mailman/apache for mailman; a newer PowerEdge running Netware 6.5/GroupWise 7.0 , and a poweredge running Server 2k3...which does absolutely nothing except burn electricity, all running on a gigabit Netgear. The postfix accepts mail for my domain which sits on my SpeakEasy DSL. 2 personal powerbooks (mine and the wife's), she has a work PowerBook, and I have a personal Dell dual booting XP/SuSE 10, and my workhorse Mac dual 867 G4.
...but architectural considerations need to be considered, too. There's no legacy baggage code from 1990 (a la WMF) to be worked around. Sure, we're smug, but that's because we live in today and not some theoretical tomorrow.
That being said, my Macs have Little Snitch installed. For those not lucky enough to be using a Mac, it's like Zone Alarm.
"Buyers sign forms acknowledging the Smart Box, agreeing not to tamper with it and promising to return to the dealership for a free removal after the last payment is made."
Speaking of the legalese, I bet there's a whole bunch of weasel words saying they're not responsible for what happens if they don't get the code on time to the customer and Bad Things happen as a consequence. So what are the pro's to buying from this joint? Is this on of the 25% interest car places for people with bad credit (which makes sense if they're so concerned with repos)?
Some of the questions we ask in an interview: "Why would you use SSH instead of telnet?" "What is port 25?" "How do you reset the root password on a server when you don't know the current root password?" These are really basic questions, and yet the majority of candidates have no clue how to answer them.
That's because the kind of questions they can answer is "How do you turn off Clippy?" and "How do you reinstall Windows after it's wiped out by a virus?" and other Windows-isms.

Now, that's a stretch. The Feds have a hard enough time nailing mobsters on that. Even if that woman was employed by Match, it would just doubtless be a case of "our service is so wonderful even our employees use it." I can't imagine any female wasting an evening with some dweeb just to keep him from quitting their service. This whole lawsuit doesn't pass the giggle test.
Maybe they should just offer the plaintiff an inflatable woman and tell him to go away.
Where I am now til the buildout was finished for our offices (cubes in a lockable room), my desk was at the end of a hallway in a little nook area across from the CFO's office. I got really sick of being mistaken for his secretary, and I had to have my workstation lock after a minute of idle time because it was so public. Blech. So, poster, it could ALWAYS be worse.
If you have Virtual PC installed (I have VPC6), then.exe files are associated with Virtual PC by default. You have to be VERY patient while Mac OS X boots VPC, VPC boots Windows, and Windows starts your rootkit, but it is possible to infect your virtual machines with just a few mouse clicks.
But not if you've undone Connectix/MS's collective stupidity and associated.exe,.com. bat..pif, etc, with something like Virex. Purely for amusement's sake, of course.:)
I'd rather use OS X than SuSE, but I'd rather use SuSE than Windows.
That's a reasonable hierarchy. At home, I'll use my 4 year old powerbook running 10.4 ahead of my shiny 6 month old Dell dual-booting XP-P and SuSE 9.2 anytime..as I am now. It Just Works and Does It Well.

OMG, ponies!
So, it's 4:30pm local, been fighting with an Exchange issue all day.

I'd rather have the pink ponies than Exchange.
It's a Cocoa app, so it's Objective-C but it's not the language. I have the same problem, and I only have a few hundred entires.
I'd thought that this http://www.realsoftware.com/news/pr/2006/cocoa had already been done....so you're right.

Bulk emailers on one hand and AOLers on the other? Let them have each other.
The poster's probably making a joke re the use of crackers:
"5a) usually disparaging : a poor usually Southern white"
No, the poster wasn't making that joke, but rather the definition of "one who breaks into computer systems."

With the myriad of real Windows security problems he focuses on the Messenger service???
Hey clueless, maybe the security problem is not having a firewall.
If you modify the users HOSTS file to point pagead2.googlesyndication.com to a different machine you can serve your own Google ads. Pretty clever
Not really. You could serve your own google ads to yourself. Big deal.
Next time I'll RTFA article before posting. D'oh!

Editors (and submitter), enrol has one l.

The company compares this to paying more than usual for milk at an all-night convenience store, or for hot dogs at a ballpark
The hot dog argument is the telling one...as the vendor inside has a monopoly just as Sprint does.
