I just bought a T68i! Now I know why they are so cheap! OTOH, Bluetooth, IRDA, hell I can drive a little bluetooth car with the phone. It's pretty neat. Now to wait for the UPS man.
How many Linux users never compile the kernel from source? I bet not many.
Maybe five years ago, that was true. These days, people buy Mandrake or Red Hat from Wal-Mart or Sam's Club and install it on their plain jane HP or Compaq. Linux isn't as odd as it used to be, and as it becomes more mainstream, fewer people will recompile kernels.
Now, a better question is: How many SCO Linux license holders never compile the kernel from source? After all, do you follow lawsuits by and against the companies who sell things outside your area of interest? I imagine a large number of Linux users are totally unaware of the SCO issue.
Ok. That picture is going to affect my sleep. I just keep going "what were they thinking?" What the hell would you do with a Hero 1 on the beach? I had one of those computers - why would you take that to the beach? My H89 was heavy, slow, and generally unpleasant to be around. I currently own a Sony Picturebook - a very small laptop with an integrated camera - I wouldn't take that to the beach. No, the most processing power I've ever had at the beach was my Treo 300, and then it was only because it was, you know, my phone. Get a life. Or, if you can't, just try to learn what one is. I have trouble imagining even a Slashdot reader taking all this stuff to the beach.
It's gonna look like heaven in thermoplastic, and everyone here is going to want one.
What makes no sense is the timing. When a mainstream site makes an assertion about this sort of thing Apple is usually within days of release. If that were the case, why not launch before christmas.
I don't think we'll see this for some time. Previous rumors put stripes and patterns on the case. I suspect we'll see a Pepsi branded model some time in Feburary.
Super keen idea we'll probably never see: Use the printing technology used on the blue dalmation and flower power iMacs, and tie in with iPhoto to let buyers have their photos molded into the case of their mini-ipod, rather than just simple laser engraving.
Well, there are two Flo Foxes in Slidell, according to other threads. I've not checked myself. The article talks about her "small, single story home" so I suspect that you're thinking the other flo fox.

The Life of a Spammer
·
· Score: 1
How about if instead of just attack orders, the system created a one-way signed hash of the URL? The program should be a sort of plug in for major emailers. All URLs in incoming mails are scanned for URLs and then hashed to be checked against the database. Only when the hashes match does the "browsing" begin. This insures that the system only allows client software to connect to sites that the user was invited to by the spammer. It also insures that the spammer isn't pulling a joe-job. The effect isn't nearly as great as the other options, however. This system only allows browsing of sites by clients that are BOTH using the software and recieved the link in question.
Another option might be to get mail servers in on this. The mail server may have a TOS that allows the end-users to assign any browse rights contained in UCE-suspect messages to a mail server for transfer to the proposed distributed network.
Although what I've found most interesting since moving to New Orleans, is the relative animosity among those who live in New Orleans and the surrounding areas, Slidell included.
How about this: Stop spending money on anti-spam tools. Commit to using all of that time and money to send packages to known spamhausen! I'd spend what? Fifty dollars for a good anti-spam app?* Just think what that would do to a personal mailbox. It warms my heart to know about all of the good we could do, letting spammers know how valued they are to us!
Anyone with me?
*Yes, I know about free tools. Spending nothing on stamps might be less productive in this context, however.
What gets me is the way they talk about Slidell in the article. The place they speak of isn't "boarded up" though it is nearly empty. This particular site has no real businesses, except for about a dozen new-car dealerships and a community college. But to take that as an example of the city failing is crazy. There's a huge staduim project a mile away, a giant subdivision filled with new $250,000 homes, a new mega Wal-Mart and Lowes a mile in the other direction, the far side of two has two new shopping centers. This town has had a great deal of growth, and any one of those developments is greater than this single failure. Slidell has its share of issues, but I've not seen that the city is abandoned or becoming "run down."
Clearly, Flo is making a passable living for herself, and so is the city. I just don't understand the spin.
If you're going to have someone offsite helping you, you could keep using SMTP, put it on a non standard port, and have your friend proxy your smtp packets. For *nix-ish systems it's easy. On Windows boxen, Portmapper is what I used to play a MUD using 443 on the machines at work.
So much hostility over this. I can see why they wouldn't patch 10.0. It was free/cheap to move to 10.1. 10.1 should get a patch though. Say what you will about 10.1, it's a usable product, the upgrade to 10.2 wasn't free for 10.1 users. Imagine if Microsoft didn't offer a security patch to Windows ME users, because the upgrade to XP was only $99 and XP was a better user experience. This is practically the same thing. MS still patches some security flaws in 98, when it suits them. I'd say the simple policy would be to patch OS versions where the last license shipped was within five years for at least serious security issue, except when the upgrade to a newer OS verson is free. That means, for example, that Mac OS 8.6 gets patched, but Mac OS 9.0.4 doesn't. 9.0.4 can be upgraded to 9.2.2 for free. Remember, I'm talking about security fixes. This is stuff that was shipped broken, and someone can get hurt because of it. Java, well, yes, that's a damn shame, and yes, I think Apple is trying to twist your arm for more money there, but that could be called a feature upgrade, not a security issue - Java 1.4.x wasn't on the feature list that you signed up for when you bought 10.1, but security was.
I'm trying the decide on an upgrade from 10.1 myself. I want 10.3, but I don't want to lose iMovie (my three year old laptop won't support iMovie3) and I don't want to buy a Quicktime 6 Pro key, having bought a Quicktime 5 Pro key only shortly before the release of Quicktime 6.

Clever thing, using the computers that way. I've offered to do the same thing for a friend in Iraq. Cuts a few days off. News? Barely.

The iMac didn't flop, and even now, I would hesitate to call the all-in-one offerings a "slew."

Crap.
So, what you're saying is that you used company time and company resources to destroy company hardware, then you link to your resume in your sig...
I've been doing it all wrong. Let me know how it works out.
Firewire isn't faster than USB 2. Firewire 800 is faster than USB 2. That having been said, I would probably buy a Firewire key.
