While it may not seem like such a big deal it complicates crossplatform toolkits, and the like. Of course the whole idea of having a "blessed" programming language seems rather old fashioned, and academic.
I challenge you to find any real world religion well represented by fictional book, music, or video game
Narnia to name the easy example. Books are easy. solid games are hard because of the interactivity ("Open World" systems like Morrowind, or Dues Ex well they almost demand that you rob people blind) I mean the easy thing I can think of would be SimMissionary but it would be hard to make that PC. (Also wooing people over to your side virtually seems like a waste of time outside of a training tool).
AVG caught some stuff norton did not. (Norton had the entry, but apparently the definition had a broken detection facility). Nothing is perfect, and in the case of Trojans nothings can be perfect.
You need something like http://www.i-tech.com/Products/IDE.php There is more to it then just mounting something ro, not least because multi-controller single-drive is just not the way ata works. You might be able to hack up a specific driver for a drive controller to work the same way as that product entirely passively, but I have my doubts.
MS's plays for sure is very secure, well except for the simple expedient of an audio to audio cable and pressing record on something with a line in.
Really though who cares? Actual theft with you having good intentions (i.e. no handing them the player and pointing them to the "backup" software) means you are not liable. It would be like leaving a cd at your desk and someone snatching it and copying it. If you catch them at it, and want to be a b*tch report them to the riaa.
Oh here I though you were playing with a 19". Hmmm, well if you have spent that kind of money look at copper tape. Should look much more profesional. You can find it at serious Music stores (for shielding amps and the like), electronic supply stores, and possibly hardware stores. You'll want to have some overlap. Also don't just wrap the cable to the unit. Look at the other cables. (The interference has to come from somewhere, and closer is easier then far).
Most likely the monitor just isn't all that great or possibly the video card, but most likely the monitor. Rated spec on CRT monitors has been the subject of considerable slippage. 75hz isn't bad though.
Aluminium foil is a pretty good shield as ever. Just wrap it, and (just to be fancy) ground it.
Actually I am fairly sure my DVD burner came with sufficient software to make a Semi Pro DVD. And drive and software were under $40. It had that annoying over bubbly throw out the windows UI standards look, but it seemed to work fairly well and seemed easy.
So yeah that takes care of that. (Oh and MS Moviemaker 2 is a suprisingly robust work. If one is bound and determined not to pay at all.) Now granted it didn't have garageband like features, but those are underused, and were I to up grade my soundcard to something decently production grade, well I could probably get something. And really after struggling to get people to upgrade from horrible starter programs, well I have come to the conclusion that people are really fond of the idea that they pay some money and get a bundleof hardware and software. (which for them simplifies support massively). No hacking needed to get a third part superdrive to work with iDVD, just stick in the disc it came with. Very user friendly.
I mean how do you know a verbal warning can not stop them?
And screaming that you have called the cops is not a warning it is a (false) statement of fact. It is certainly more likely to stop the violence then trying to take them all out by your lonesome. It stops the violence faster then running into a phone booth and changing would too.
But you need neither suit nor fancy bat-darts (tm) to stop that, generally just screaming you called the cops with cell phone in hand works. (actually not generally this has never happened to me. What sort of neighborhood do you live in?).
So how many line of oars do you have on that boat? And all that wood was cut with axes because you didn't have saws. Really, while we like to think that sailing ships are sailing ships they have changed a lot. I mean it is like saying modern cars are basically the same as horseless carriages. Change might not have been Moore's lawish, but it happened. Technology improved, and the ships got better.
Imagine a compromised laptop is brought onto a lan at say IBM and begins an attack say on Apple. Apple's IDT track the attack at the firewall, and the countermeasures respond, IBM which may well have already noted and killed the offeneding laptop, notes the attack and trys to "counter" it. Boom goes london boom goes Berlin.
It is like defending yourself with hand grenades in a crowded room, even if you didn't have a double back situation, imagine the collateral damage on all the other people who happen to be on the same ISP as the one attacking.
That said sometimes countermeasures (like propagating an uninstall script through a zombie net) are the only way to stop the problem, but it is a last ditch thing.
You can get around it if you need to by booting off an XP CD (use something like autostreamer to add in SP2) and repairing the instalation, does some genetic damage or something though, since if you do it too many times the system gets flaky.
Oh and the above is also handy if someone was lazy and say used a notebooks factory install of XP instead of reinstalling with a site liscensed key.
From the page: 31-Dec-2006 See Note 14... 14. Mainstream support will end 2 years after the next version of this product is launched. Extended support will end 5 years after Mainstream support ends.
Actually not to stray too far afield Adobe Capture is used a lot mostly for document flow, and digitization. Not end user in the least. (It is also hooked into a whole lot, easy to integrate into a semi custom program). Actually I am kind of suprised that document archiving and digitization doesn't have a bigger pressence on OSX I mean there is Acordex, but still... I mean there is a bigger UNIX product field then OS X. But it is pretty structual.
Now I know someone will say there are a few so why are more needed? Well, when you draw up a proposal for a $10,000-$100,000 document imaging station you had better include at least a couple alternatives.
Actually every OSX release has had a major bug fix pack shortly after release. It is expected, and lots of people wait till that to install. Same with MS. I mean, it is just like sending out any other thing you always have a few D'oh momments.
What discusion of fingerprints would be complete without http://cryptome.org/gummy.htm . So live detection systems probably wouldn't work so well.
Hashes are supposed to be hard to break, but I'm not certain these are hashed (though it would be how I would do it). And hashes might be hard to break, but well they do eventually break. And with a relatively limited source data set they might break pretty fast. (I mean according to this http://www.biocentricsolutions.com/faq.html they take 15 data points through a bit of math, (at least this company) I mean that could be precomputable given enough time and effort. Or at the very least reducible (I mean they must have a margin of error allowance so what if you have to try five different ones).)
And honestly, I am thinking that if fingerprints become too popular, well gloves will be back in fashion;).
I think the big deal here is that you basically are trusting this company which you have no idea of what they are doing, I mean maybe they are leaving debug on, and taking pictures of every persons fingerprint. But there is no way you can control what they do with your authentication token. I mean basically biometrics is like using the same password everywhere, except you can't change it if a site gets cracked. Unless and until live detection systems work, it really sucks.
So basically all you would have to do is crack the hash and find a finger print that would match then print on a bit of transparency sheet. Yeah no one is going to do that just to work out, but, if biometrics spreads to say an ATM machine, or a globabl payment place? (Of course that is assuming there is a standard finger print format, if there isn't then the gym just lockemselves in forever and ever
Ummm the DS lacks games, oh and graphicswise it just sorta is bleh. Innovation is not enough, you have to have innovation and quality. Look at the PSP, it actually has some very different features (analog control widescreen format, portable disc based media. True they are all normal elsewhere, but in the portable market they are interesting. (And moving things can be innovative, the water wheel when applied to circular milling was a great inovation.)
Javascript can be in a sandbox I admin networks with it, it works really well. editting arbitrary files. the whole works. It is a language. You can choose to sandbox it or not.
Calculator should be an app. It can always be set to a keyboard shortcut if it is that big of a deal. (most keyboards come with like 5+ application/websites buttons)
Honestly, desktop sidebar has a pretty nice calculator built in. (a much more sensible one then most of the calcs I have seen that try to emulate standard calculators).
You seem to be the only one afraid. You seem to be uncertain of your facts (javascript is a sandbox lol), and you seem to be doubting the simple fact that this is a reimplemntation of an old concept). So hush I like macs. they can be pretty, they can be useful, but they are not the end alll be all. It is a construct of men, not god. it has flaws, and can be beaten.
Ummm only in crazy mac land is a calculator not an application. if you want a shortcut to a caluclator that isn't hard to setup. either.
Actually like I said it is a local IE window it can use activex but not many of them do. As for security risks they are the EXACT same as Konfab, or anything else it is an unrestricted desktop app. Deal with it.
Most of the widgets or whatever they are called are basic informational ones. (something in all honesty handled better by something like desktop sidebar in most cases.) Though maybe that is just the number that is made, and not the ones that are being used, but if it isn't *shrug* it is pretty well covered by ActiveDesktop.

Eh, so you never actually have seen this?
I mean how do you know a verbal warning can not stop them?

So it will have a pair of dice that SMG rolls and summons up demons with? Seriously that was a twisted game. It should be an interesting transition

So no worries, they aren't that stupid.

Or the other other one:
Q: How many *BSD engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?

To official retail boxed copies they do. Though it is ummm limited. I think it is two support calls free.

Hush, my little poppet, you still lose.
(oh and you should really see the desktop sidebar "calculator" I was speaking of sometime.)
Javascript can be in a sandbox I admin networks with it, it works really well. editting arbitrary files. the whole works. It is a language. You can choose to sandbox it or not.
