  1. What about external links to sun.com? on Oracle Could Reap $1 Million For Sun.com Domain · · Score: 1

    Since there are probably still a multitude of links pointing to sun.com and people who follow those links are existing or potential Sun customers why would Oracle sell the domain and in effect turn away those customers?

  2. Re:Defilade on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    Sure we would have... if the term had been "French cover".

  3. Re:Irony Gold on Safari on Windows, Leopard Debut at WWDC · · Score: 1

    That's because there's no currrent version of IE on the Mac.

  4. Re:PC/Mac LAN Gaming on Diablo II Gets Native Mac OS X Installer · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes. I use a PowerBook and play with my two PC friends over the Internet (using TCP/IP, not the Blizzard servers). We use LOD 1.10.

  5. Re:Probably not Jabber-based on Cross-platform, Easy-to-Use Local LAN Chat? · · Score: 1

    iChat Rendezvous uses ports 5297 and 5298. Or at least those are the ports that are opened up if you enable iChat Rendezvous in Mac OS X's firewall setup.

  6. Re:anonymous Oracle Coward on Everyone Else Must Fail · · Score: 2, Informative

    The flip side of that is that Oracle made a commitment to not layoff people during the recent economy downturn. Now, people were laid off (mostly sales, external/internal support), but hardly any developers.

    As an Oracle developer, it is comforting to know that I have job security so instead of updating my resume and looking for another job I can keep working and writing code.

    And by raises you're only talking about promotion/salary increases. We've had cost of living increases yearly (maybe they don't cover inflation but at least it helps). We've even had bonuses and promotions -- yes, much less than before but they are still given out.

    Oracle has been a great employer as far as I'm concerned.

    Well, the DRM probably won't take it into account. But then again you'll be able to legally download a good copy for free.And it'll probably be a better quality encoding.

  8. Re:MacOSX update ? on OpenSSH Vulnerability Disclosed, Version 3.4 Released · · Score: 1

    (1) Mac OS X 10.1.5 (the current version) has "OpenSSH_3.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f" installed.

    (2) 1 bug being "100 times more secure than 95% of the market" implies that the 95% of the market has 100+ bugs. Safe assumption.

  9. Re:No more cold calls on MAPS vs. ORBS · · Score: 1

    There is a simple way to stop telemarketers. Whenever they call you, just tell the agent that you never want to be called by them again ("never call me again"). They then have to put you on their Do Not Call list. Eventually you'll get a lot fewer calls. This is Federal Law and all call center products implement DNC lists.
