I think you've just proved this poster's point. I've been where the thread starter has been with linux - coming from a decade of Windows use and finding so many things that need fiddling with after a fresh install (I'm thinking Redhat and Mandrake here). I didn't give up, and now know enough about linux to compare with my Windows knowledge of about 5 years ago - I've still got a long way to go, however.:)
I guess my point is that I saw desperation in the thread starter's tone, and not melodrama. Something to think about.
Nice to see Apple making it easy for their customers, but really is't not that impressive when it's the same company making, or HEAVILY overseeing the manufacture of, the hardware/software/OS. Get dedicated windows or linux hardware made by the MS or redhat and see how easy it would be to install hardware.
He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword. Indeed - likewise he who lives by the pen, he who lives by the word processor, he who who lives by the fax machine all shall die by the sword. Only he who lives by the tank shall remain immune.
Without meaning to sound like a troll, I don't know what all the fuss is about Halo.
Sure, it has some great set-pieces, and the atmosphere is fantastic in places, but it's just too damn samey and repetitive.
Didn't Budgie present MS with a wonderful 6 hour game, and get a mandate from MS to extend it in a tiny amount of time, so they cut and pasted loads of rooms together to turn it into a 20 hour game? Sure looks like it.
These companies are more than happy to exploit the standard of living in the US by selling their overpriced crap here for huge profits that they can't really get anywhere else.
Speaking as a European (UK) about to marry one of your own and move to the US, you have no idea how cheap everything is in the US compared to the rest of the planet. Economies of scale, you see. You don't know you're born;)
There must be some sites that host BT trackers on freenet. I installed it earlier today and have been looking around. I hope to god it gets faster the longer it runs though. It's hella slow and half the sites/nodes/links/keys/whatever either timeout or can't be found.
Am I just looking in the wrong places on freenet or is freenet's lack of speed the problem w.r.t. bittorrent trackers?
In most of Europe today -- to pick one example -- you will serve jail time for questioning the holocaust.
I've lived and travelled in Europe all my life and have never heard of this. Can you give me a list of all the European countries that have this particular law?
It doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, the person who wins is the person who has the most money. Of course, when people talk about IBM doing this to SCO it's all ok, but am I the only one to see this as a fundamental problem with the US's legal system?
Looks like OSX really is keeping up with providing all the Windows features we've all come to know and love;)
Summary:
Mac OS X includes a software updating mechanism "SoftwareUpdate". Software
update, when configured by default, checks weekly for new updates from
Apple. HTTP is used with absolutely no authentication. Using well known
techniques, such as DNS Spoofing, or DNS Cache Poisoning it is trivial to
trick a user into installing a malicious program posing as an update from
Apple.
Impact:
Apple frequently releases updates, which are all installed as root.
Exploiting this vulnerability can lead to root compromise on affected
systems. These are known to include Mac OS 10.1.X and possibly 10.0.X.
Solution/Patch/Workaround:
There is currently no patch available. Hopefully the release of this
information will convince apple they need, at the very least, some basic
authentication in SoftwareUpdate.
Exploit:
http://www.cunap.com/~hardingr/projects/osx/exploi t.html
An exploit for this vulnerability has been released to the public for
testing purposes. It is distributed as a Mac OS X package which includes
DNS and ARP spoofing software. Also, it includes the cgi scripts, and
apache configuration files required to impersonate the Apple
SoftwareUpdatesServer.
Oh, and back when vinyl ruled the earth, radio stations weren't as heavily formatted and locked in to tiny top-40 playlists. You had a decent chance of turning on the radio and hearing something you hadn't heard before (heh! Try that now...). Rather than fight the homogenization of radio that cuts off the revenue stream of most of the RIAA's back-catalog and even current material, they instead encouraged it thinking they'd lock down the market that way.
BBC Radio 1's John Peel plays nothing but new music from obscure and unsigned bands. You might try listening to his show every once in a while. You can stream it from the bbc's website here
Well, not "hovering" - that brings to mind images of '50s Sci-Fi robots and flying saucers;) I mean that it seems to be shifted a few pixels to the left and obscures the last typed character. I'm using Moz/FB here at work on NT4 and it's not as prominent here as it is at home on XP - perhaps because of the resolution I use at home (1600x1200) Vs the resolution here at work (1024z768).
Is it just me or does the cursor in Moz/FB hover over the last character typed thus making it extremely painful to edit text on web forums like this one? How hard would it be for someone to move the cursor a few pixels to the right?
I used to be a die hard IE fan, then I got into Opera, but got sick of the 30% of sites that Opera failed to render. I've been using Firebird as my main browser on win32 and While it's still not as polished and bug free as IE (see above), I've come to find many of its offerings to be of superior quality/usability over IE's. Tabbed browsing never really worked for me on win32 with Opera, but "just works" in Moz/BF. I'd prefer the interface to act more like a standard windows one, however, that's another slight bugbear of mine. For example, an extra mouse click is required when selecting text in the address bar or forms to stop it from thinking I want to drag the text to another form/window. Perhaps there's an option in the Advanced Options extension I recently downloaded, or perhaps that's just "the way it works". Either way, I'm sure I can get used to it. Thumbs up Moz/FB developers - you've done yourself proud.
The point is that the Xbox is one of the greatest things Micro$oft has ever produced. It means that the modded xbox I have sitting in my living room now plays Xbox, PSX, Amiga, N64, SNES, Megadrive(Genesis for you folk) and arcade games. It's hooked up to the LAN so I can listen to my mp3 collection or listen to shoutcast streams. I can stream videos from the LAN, or simply play them from the huge hard drive I now have installed. I can stick a CF memory card into my computer in the other room and we can all view the pictures taken earlier that day on a big screen TV. Or maybe just boot into linux.
All accessible from the couch via the xbox's dvd remote control.
AmigaDOS had an 80 character or so comment field for each file. The comment didn't show up when you did a DIR, but when you did a LIST it was there. All of my pictures and sounds had nice descriptions in the comment, size/depth/mode/etc.
Windows does this. Well, 2000/XP does - I can't vouch for earlier versions. Set view to "details" and you can select all manner of extra attributes, from Bitrate (for music files) to Date Picture Taken or Dimensions (for picture files). It also has a nice user-defined Comments field too.
I was awestruck to the point of being giddy watching that! I can't wait until Sept. 30th to play it, and see what mods come out for it. It is an incredibly powerful, and entirely revolutionary engine.
For example, wood knows that it's wood, so it knows to burn, float, knows how to break into pieces differently depending on the type and amount of force, knows how it should sound when scraped and hit, etc. and the whole world is that way!
The halflife2 engine wasn't the only thing to have wood when I was watching that video;)

Indeed. Hence the Windows comment. I was highlighting the difference between OSX and Windows' "bug release schedule". Comedy is wasted on slashdot ;)

Congratulations! You've just uncovered SCO's defence when IBM swat them aside in the courtroom.
