On top of this, ignorance of any law is simply not an excuse. If you are engaging into an enterprise such as his, you should make yourself familiar with the laws. ALthough, I am sure he knew it was illegal.
I am just saying that the defense of "I didn't know it was illegal!" doesn't hold any water, ever.
Well, he did say that they did kill the inetd daemon.
While you are correct that this shouldn't kill the box, maybe he meant uptime as in being able to login and use the system, not uptime as we know it. If inetd was not running, that could certainly cause some problems.
Or, maybe he came from the Microsoft side and just decided to reboot instead of restarting inetd. You be the judge.
That's called a Big Ol' Programmer's Beard. You will notice that you will one day have the urge to grow one, and one's salary seems to roughly follow the length and bushiness of the beard. I suggest you try it.
As usual, slashdot has sensationalized water cooling, and made it seem that springing a leak can be common with a system like this.
Water cooling has been around a long time, far pre dating computers. While it may be true that over clockers working on their own PCs in their dads' garages may spring a leak, in reality a commercial water cooling system this just doesn't happen.
Springing a leak with this system would be about as likely as your new air conditioner sprining a coolant leak. It simpley won't happen within the normal life span, and assuming you don't run over it with a car or drop it down an elevator shaft.
I don't follow your logic. If you screened all your calls, you would still need to call people back. They have a record of every person you call as well as who calls you.
Oh, so you are letting Microsoft set the standard for what is right and wrong for a software company to do? I don't agree with paying to go from 98->98se either. But don't make the mistake of letting Microsoft guide your thinking as to what is acceptable. This is the same company that has been dragged through court for the last several years on anti-trust matters. So, no I don't think they are acceptable.
Absolutely. Go to the Mac forum on Ars Technica, the various support Forums on Apples' own website, and Usenet archives (All of which I frequent). Do a search for beach ball. I am not exagerating.
Good christ, why am I being modded down as a TROLL?
I am serious about this. Why should I have to pay the full $129 for a feature enhancement and bug fix release? OS 10.1.5 still has bigs that need to be worked on. It is not my fault they didn't release a quality product, but I am being asked to pay for it if I want future support.
My DNS stuff works fine, I have my own internal wireless network with the wireless router acting as a DHCP server. My network settings are all correct, trust me. This is not just me, I have seen hundreds of people complain about this.
Only if you just bought your mac in the last month or so. The rest of us are expected to bend over and grab our ankles then cough up the money if we want to be supported in the future.
Exactly. ANd I have the lastest 10.1.5 installed, and a pretty freshly installed system. This is not MY fault. It is Apples. That god damned beach ball is a problem that most OS X users hate.
Well, no shit everything has bugs. But in my opionion, OS X did not feel like a polished product that I would release as a stable release. It had more bugs than I thought was acceptable. Don't be such a smart ass.
I am aware of that, but I am still pissed because I, and many Mac users, don't consider OS X to be a "finished product". It doesn't feel solid.
For instance, I have that f&cking beach-ball cursor pop up sometimes for 15 seconds for no apparent reason. I have 384 Megs of RAM, which should be sufficient to run 2 apps at the same time.
OS X feels slow and unresponsive sometimes. I have no data to support this, but OS X users know what I mean when comparing it to OS 9.
It just feels like a beta product to me. I am upset that I have to pay to get the next upgrade version. This is NOT a new OS, this is a.2 update. I am starting to feel like being in the Microsoft trap when it comes to my laptop.
So, I have an iBook. I got the iBook with OS 9 and OS X preloaded because Apple knew OS X was not quite good enough yet for sole use of that OS. I basically tested the software for Apple, and it does have some bugs, and it quite a bit slower than OS 9.
I think for step two, maybe we should steal underpants and warehouse them. That might help build a profit, but I am not sure. As soon as I get my MBA I should be able to figure it out.
I will let you know. If not, maybe we could at least make it look like it.

Acutally you are only partially correct. If they made it into his bank account from bonuses and stock options, he is requred to report it.
However, not until it makes it there. If they give him a bunch of stock, we don't really know a whole lot until he sells it.
Huh, they worked in my mozilla.. what version are you using? I am using the 1.1 alpha.
FYI, I was curious and just tried in on a Sun Blade 1000 running Solaris 8. Brought the machine to it's knees. Isn't responding.
Pretty funny, though. Luckily it wasn't a server and we don't really even use the darn thing.

You are very welcome. I wish you success in the future.
I couldn't agree more.
Wow. You are very humor impaired. Did anyone else think this was remotely funny?

No, actually I am running a 500MHz G3 iBook with 384 MB RAM. A lot of the problem is that IE is a hog on OS X for some reason.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will give it a try. I hope it is that simple.

That comment cracked me up. If you didn't get it think about it.
Well, let me know when you are using some of them. When you get your bluetooth phone and your bluetooth PDA talking to your bluetooth printer.
And also let me know when you atart getting spam with Quicktime 6 embedded in your emails, because that's a new feature too.

Now I have to pay to get an updated version?
Dear Sir,
I think for step two, maybe we should steal underpants and warehouse them. That might help build a profit, but I am not sure. As soon as I get my MBA I should be able to figure it out.
I will let you know. If not, maybe we could at least make it look like it.
