I real good Unix admin doesn't need to work that hard. I no longer do admin services (crossed over to the dark side of programming) but my senior admin taught me to be lazy. Why type a lot when a script can do it for you. Don't copy and paste, use a pipe. He taught me so much about not being a traditional user but how to be a lazy admin.
Why would you run killall on any box. The command name sounds evil for a reason. Anyone who tried this without a simple man killall or didn't believe the documentation got everything they deserve.
And that's why people would use the Open Firmware password. The only point I'm making is that what we currently have is insecure, so the more layers you can add, the more secure your data can be.
Well, right now you just need to boot from the OS X CD and then use those cool menu items to reset the passwords. I've done it a number of times since someone in my house can't remember their password. But there is no need to call Apple.
And that's why you encrypt the data files on the hard drive as well. This just prevents people from using the password reset utility on the CD to gain entry into your computer.
I didn't get a copy with my new TiBook. I was told that I could purchase it for the low price of $60.00 or I could buy Office X from my University for $20. I'll just say that after buying the TiBook, I didn't have a lot of cash for software....
It also doesn't have a Mac or Mac OS X counterpart. I've even tried to run their I-Net version through different browsers and I still don't get the type of support I would expect.
My next question would be if developers share files on different platforms? If so, PVCS may have some problems. I would go with Dimensions from Merant, but it's hella expensive. Used mostly at CMM Level 5 shops.
I believe that the/. community has given a lot of notice to the EFF. Why is this any differnt? Because it's new and current? Since learning about the EFF through other posters, I've given a large chunk of change to them. You don't need big names to become an activist, just an idea.
I'll chime in, but I quit the whole business thing late last year. I really couldn't believe the kind of crap that went on in some of the MIS courses. People would be proud that they passed a simple course in database design with a D+. Students wouldn't want to take the course in C or C++, but rather would opt for VB only because they could make crappy software fatser. The professors never taught how to trap errors, or validate the user input. None of this was ever stressed. I finally had it when someone in the C++ course couldn't grasp the concept that C++ is case sensitive.
I'm now much happier in the CS program. Everyone has an attitude they carry with them in life. Most engineers are always trying to figure out how something works. Business people, just like to hear the key buzzwords and listen to each other drone on for hours.
I think someone needs to step out of the glass box. This comment wasn't written by anyone with any amount of development experience. The number of programmers working on a system still don't solve all of the problems. The root cause of this defect isn't listed. If it is a code mistake, then it might have been caught by a different group of developers. What if the defect cause wasn't a mistake, but a lack of understanding about the requirements? External system feed was incorrect? Does your open source model prevent this? I could take the best programmers in the world and give them incorrect requirements and guess what? You'll get incorrect software. I guess then you'll be touting the benefit of closed source then.
Why wait for the Cocoa programmers to port their stuff over. Why not make Aqua backwards compatable with X. Then you can run traditional Unix applications without a huge porting effort. Of course, to use some of the best features, you need to develop for Aqua.
In no other situation am I, essentially, guilty until proven innocent.
Nowdays, this attitude is taking over what used to be common place. For instance, ever been through an IRS audit? You need to provide all your reciepts and paperwork for the year. Only after they get to review you records do they determine what to nail you on. They don't say, "We have calculated your taxes like so and this is what you owe us."
It's now starting to creep into juriors as well. I sat in on a trial and the people expected the defendant to prove that they were innocent yet the DA put statements together that were hard to show one implies the other.
In this case, I wouldn't doubt if the BSA is the same way. When you challenge them in court, some song and dance about the careers of programmers, etc. will come out but never do they try to defend their pratice. Doing so would invalidate everything they do.
I agree. I thought that Americans were protected from companies and law enforcement searching blindly without being invited. Invite them to search the school doesn't give them rights to apply the search to all home users without any cause.
A talkback message will be generated and sent to a Mozilla developer. If this developer is half awake, he should forward the message on to the Google team for their use. The simple matter of getting the talkback messages should help both sides of the fence.
As an addendium, sometimes the problem isn't the plug-in. It could be that the Google bar is using some new API call that no one else used. Best to install and let the developers make the decision.
Yes, if Carnivore is doing a simple word scan on email messages, but somehow I doubt that. I would imagine that it knows the difference in context from a message like "Say a prayer for those who died by the hands of terrorists" and a message that contains the launch directives for the next message.
If I was going to do something similar to a terrorist activity, I wouldn't just be pushing raw ASCII email messages with that kind of information in them. I would encrypt the message in a image and say, "Look at some pictures from my trip to NYC." Carnivore is looking for those kinds of patterns.
I think the key is that a bookstore, like Amazon, doesn't have a nice single location for data. All of the book information needs to be input somewhere. Google can just create a robot to go collect information. I think this single difference makes an Amazon-killer more difficult than a Google-killer.
Just installed it via the good ol' Software Update utility. So far, everything is normal. I'm so used to the Windows updater which normall breaks something. So, what do I do with all this extra time?
But from what I read from the XFree team, some display stuff doesn't work correctly. I've done it with the issues but am looking for a nice clean implementation. Also, (kicking my own ass for this)I want to check rotor out on OS X as well. Thus, my desire for pthreads.
Does that mean a complete pthreads implementation or just better than the one that already exists. I'm itching to get gnome and aqua running side by side.

Of course, don't run killall on HP. :)

Maybe they should start with the government monitoring of emails and surfing patterns.
And that's why people would use the Open Firmware password. The only point I'm making is that what we currently have is insecure, so the more layers you can add, the more secure your data can be.

And then they could kiss Office X goodbye. I don't see this happening until the Open Office project gets the OS X version running.

Sorry, I'm not into counting spaces to debug why my statement isn't executing in a block with the other statements.

That and to produce a lot of bad sequels of decent movies.

the nitwit who wrote/engineered this system should have taken the time to add security to it?
But that's asking a lot from those high school kids. I'm sure they had problems figuring out where they needed to connect the RJ-45 cable.

And people call the GPL a virus.

Yeah...that's what OpenGL is all about. This is just one more thing that MS wants to control in life.

better pthreads support
Does that mean a complete pthreads implementation or just better than the one that already exists. I'm itching to get gnome and aqua running side by side.
