I think the nickle summary is that Microsoft and Apple are madly hurrying to add stuff. They're not sure exactly what anyone is adding except they've heard there are rumors. Then they suggest you use google to go dig some unsubstantiated stuff up. Sheesh.
Sometimes it's fun to read the slashdot reactions before RTFA. One poster header "painters" and assumes Graham is talking about the Bubba who shows up to cuss and slap cheap paint on apartment walls. Other people assumes he's talking about the code monkeys in the world. The "fun" thing about today is no one listens anymore. Maybe it's just me, but he's not comparing the techniques. He's comparing what makes these people tick. Einstein is one of the great Physics hackers, but he was also supposed to play a mean violin. The wiring that allows people to pull visions out of thin air works in both worlds. Graham isn't saying anything terribly new (at least to me). I was screwing with creating code in Junior High and writing short stories by High School. By the time I was done with college I had a degree in Physics, work in the humanities and published poems and paintings that had been in shows. I've been asked the same question and I always said Physics (or hacking) and the arts back up to each. More correctly the one that can create in Physics/thru hacking is often the same mind that could envision great art. Same mind, different techniques: creation ex nihilo.
Have you tried other combinations of settings (e.g. dpi, bit depth)? That won't solve all of the problems you talk about it, but playing with those settings in each package you look at _before_ rating how good it is is important.
IDC has a lot of information on their site referring to general cases and specific case, adoption raes vs. current market share, etc., Just quoting this stuff out of context is meaningless.
It sounds like you're quoting accurately, but years ago I was talking to a guy at a Microcenter who seemed to know what he was talking about. Then he insisted that Apple had gone out of business. I couldn't convince the guy that there was still an operating business at 1 infinite loop. But he _sure_ sounded like he knew what he was talking about.
FileMaker Pro running under classic (at least versions 4.1 and 5.0) has a wonderful problem. When you drag things in layout mode, FileMaker drag copies. This problem began in 10.2.3 or possibly earlier, so I suspect this little keyboard problem is the cause.
The solution Adobe gives is a _bad_ workaround. I really don't like leaving my machine completely open to the world by turning off the screensaver password. They should have to know more than the average script kiddie to break into my machine.;} Has anyone figured out a better workaround?
Apple is happy to deal with Linux when it's useful. MkLinux was funded by Apple until other Linux distributions came out for PPC hardware. Darwin and QuickTime streaming server have been released under a semi-open source license. Darwin helped get OS X on the radars of both geeks and the Linux happy investment community. QuickTime is currently second or third fiddle in the streaming world and Jobs wants to change that and steal a major chunk of the post-production market in general. Why not give away streaming server when the people with the money --read studios, networks, major websites-- are happy to pay money for shrink-wrap and support? I may be using a G3 laptop to type this, but I'm no fool. Apple fundamentally does two things: sell computers and sell web/video software. They want to create hype and move boxes of some kind or another. If giving away something helps in that regard, they'll do it. But usually for just long enough to accomplish the mission objectives. _____________________________________ __________
Slashdot Mirror
Slashdot had a long discussion on WiFi security late last hear (Replacing WEP for Wireless Security). ComputerBits has a relatively short overview (Wireless Hot Spot Security) for those who prefer something more organized. Then there's the Unoffical 802.11 Security Page, the website of the WiFi Alliance (the industry group for 802.11) and a nifty google search on WiFi Security.

How about _specific_ URLs to back up your quotes?
