My wife had her credit card compromised a couple months ago and huge cash advances were placed on it. The card was never lost, nor did she give out any information. But, MasterCard did contact us unsolicited about it several times (when we were out). They would leave messages saying to call MasterCard security at a given number.
The first couple times I heard the mesage, I ignored it because I figured they would never do that. So after looking at her card statement when it arrived, we saw the problem and initialted contact by the official number on the statement. Turns out it was a legitimate message.
That is not good practise as trains people to respond to phishing attacks.
I'll trade you systems then! My G4 400 hasn't played a startup sound in years. I don't know why. It used to; my external speakers are on; every other sound works fine.
I kinda miss my startup sound. I always enjoyed it (except when people were sleeping).
I agree that the vertical space is the real issue when working with most text documents. (Does not necessarily apply to Excel or PowerPoint.) When I'm working in Office 97, or VCC, it is all about the vertical space. In Windows, I even run the task bar on the side of the screen to free up that vertical space.
The solution, according to the Office:Mac, is to have the content adapting panel (very similar to the ribbons) in a vertical orientation on the sideof the document. This way normal monitors and wide screen monitors both use their space most effectively.
This panel is also hideable just as these ribbons will be, and toolbars can work in the traditional sense. The panel is broken down into sections (Formatting, Cells, Borders, etc) which are all user collapsable. I think enhancing this type of interface would be a great idea.

Yeah, same here. I think my mail program (OS X Mail) has problems with emails with no text content. I'm thinking of making a seperate filter that can handle the link or attachment used in those silly emails.
We were using a PCI card from a company that previously had only provided precompiled binaries (and possibly windows DLLs, but that wasn't well documented.. you were supposed to you their app). But their app was a bit buggy and had some weird quirks and we wanted to run our systems on Linux through Python.
We got some drivers from the company that were obviously recently opened. The sample program that they gave us to show how the API worked didn't quite work properly because there were bugs in the kernel extension. And nothing was documented/commented except for about half of the struct members. Some of the defines were called MAGIC_NUMBER and half the features accessible in Windows were commented out. And on top of all that, there were two naming conventions in the same module.
I suggest not doing any of those things, and document/comment throughout as people will be using it and trying to understand or customize it.
I'm in my final year of electrical engineering (generally considered the hardest in the engineering faculty here) and to do well on your assignments, 80 hours a week is lax week. We routinely do 13-15 hours a day for 7 days a week. That does include class time though. Of course, if you don't care about the assignments or getting your real time operating system to work, you can free up some more time.
In fact, it does pause in OS X when updating track info in iTunes. My computer does it all the time, granted, it's a G4 400 which isn't top of the line, but it does happen.
Of course, in this future, Apple can also sell flash memory based players that are smaller and cheaper. It's not as if the iPod design can't or won't change.
I know there are some sites that IE (for the PC) displays adwords with the double underlines that Safari does not have at all. And looking at the HTML source, there is nothing causing the link. So I expect that these adwrods are browser-side.
It was suggested to me some time ago to use this tag in the head of my webpages:
And I expect something like this will be available to prevent these adwords from displaying.

Is that an Avenue Q reference, or just common sense?
