Wrong. It doens't work that way. They don't, on a processor by processor basis, go in and "disable" the random parts of any Cache area that failed testing.
Try reading the MSN EULA. Then talk to me about consumer rights, including controlling your PC.
The ideas discussed in an email thread could be patented if brought to fruition (by a company for whom the development costs are not prohibitive). And if MS owns your writing, as you agree to in the MSN EULA, they could patent any ideas they develop which once were originally yours. No, I wasn't talking about copyright.
How does Outlook take away control of your PC? Never in the world of consumer affairs has there been any product line with such orchestrated vendor lock-in and planned obsolescence as the Microsft product line. Elementary School children see that. You do what? Open Source consulting? Hm. Then again, you did like the MS survey on Linux, so I guess you haven't had much exposure to the real world.
You think Microsoft cares about consumer rights or privacy, computer security, or making the world a better place? Smell the coffee grounds amigo. Why don't you get on the right team NOW and come on in for the big win. It's going to happen with or without you.
This is just a Microsoft attempt to own entire mail threads and conversations (as opposed to just single messages) which might end up on their network as a result of "Outlook Integration" with.NET
Please stop with the "Outlook Has Great Features" argument. Every MS "feature" is a step away from control of your own PC and ultimately your personal privacy.
OH yeah, you were in News Mode, so your conversation got posted to alt.ms.will.soon.patent without your consent. Just go into Tools, Options, Personal Privacy and check the "Give Privacy Back" box. Click OK, and the only remnant of that last thread will be in Ashcroft's dossier on you, news.google.com and the Bettman Archives.
You're just feeding his notoriety by talking about him, obviously it's a stunt on his part.
Brightmail has so few false positives and allows so little spam through that any noticable continuous stream of spam caused by such an alleged "arrangement" between Ritcher and Brightmail would be bound to get noticed by savvy end users/administrators, if not Brightmail post-installation tech support.
Same with alleged "whitelists" at ISPs - enough people have eyes on MTA configs that there would be questions.
This is bullshit and I'm sorry Brightmail had to stoop to a public answer.
The fact that Apple doesn't have a good hardware support program comparable to Dell's does not mean that their Support folks aren't helpful.
Of course they're going to be snippy if you demand hardware replacement when they have no such program.
If I had purchased from Dell or Sony..
Dell would have had a person replace your system board the next day if you had bought the extended support program. This is not built into the machine base price with Dell, it's extra (and worth it).
Apple products aren't made with sacrificial virgins you know I know, they're made with 4 dollar an hour offshore assembly line labor.
All hardware is hardware.
Quite untrue.
The iPod was both a technical and design triumph in the world of consumer products. The battery that fits in it is part of the grand design, and should not be considered in the same league as the 4-9V converter bricks for example, you get at Radio Shack.
I read the Post article this AM, before it hit Slashdot.
Apple's support has a long standing reputation for being friendly and helpful. Everyone knows the products and peripherals are priced higher than PC products - but you shouldn't mind paying for superior design and quality in hardware. Don't compare apples + oranges (compare Mac hardware to standard hardware.)
The Post didn't have to write (or edit) the article to slant against Apple, but they did, based on one or two support conversations.
Little wonder there's no talk of having the site in the U.S. -- if the international community were to look at the current condition here for nuclear reactor safety and security, and the stance on public disclosure in this regard -- heck, the U.S. shouldn't even be part of the proceedings. (Unless of course Halliburton's doing the infrastructure buildout).
"Hi, we're the guys who orchestrated the French Fry Ban in the Rayburn Office Building Cafeteria, we know exactly how to run everything, who is and is not in the Axis of Evil, and you can't play Nuclear Reactor with us."

It's interesting and disappointing to note how these stories are not picked up by the mainstream media.
Or at least, not yet.
All it's going to take is enough public sentiment against Diebold to change this situation... and this can only happen if msnbc, cbsnews, washpost, foxnews, latimes, et al pick this up.
I wonder what they're doing in the cash machine world that hasn't yet come to light?
to twist this guy's acheivement of installing all these OSs into into some kind of "win" for Apple/OSX - this could have been done on a PC just as well.
Personally I hate reading pompous ass documents like the "FAAQ" where the game is feigning ignorance when answering questions you've just posed. Egotistic ass.
Does this letter say anything as far as code goes - NO. Does this help the PR machine to keep Linux as a fringe, maybe illegal OS - YES.
I am finding it painful to read (everywhere) and hear (linuxradio.com) the inconsequential OSS tech/engineer/evangelist rebuttals on SCO issues and the amount of emotional energy being spent.
While the rebuttals and arguments are all true, none of them are reaching any press of consequence yet, though this week's request on the Linux Show to begin compiling factual evidence debunking quotes found in the archive at groklaw.net is going to be an excellent start.
If only SCO would cross the line a little more flagrantly, they might be punished by the SEC, if there was only some tangible evidence of intent to boost their stock price by these lawsuits and slanders.
The OSS community is, by its very nature and definition, unable to wage a war using FUD or similar distasteful strategies, and so must quietly use only truth and earnestness to block the incoming blows, hoping against hope that the press will give some equal time to what might be the facts.
Jesus (long haired anarchist who used to give all kinds of shit away for free) had a remotely similar problem years ago, but he came out allright... Somehow I trust Linux will too.
How do you know you're not a retard who talks out of his ass?
Your comment above is an abhorrent and demoralizing example of what is wrong with our society. Do try and be a good citizen and stay on the voting topic.
Slashdot Mirror
It's interesting to read the comments from external parties, as they tend to be very reasoned
-SNIP-
Yeah, and if I poke you in the eye with a sharp stick every morning, you'll get used to it. It might even appear "reasoned".
Wrong. It doens't work that way. They don't, on a processor by processor basis, go in and "disable" the random parts of any Cache area that failed testing.
ASS HAT Moderators too.
Why would anyone want it?
The cache is allocated physically. It isn't a question of it having 1023 Kbytes instead of 1024 so then being sold as a 512K model...

I wonder which bonehead at apple decided that $499 is 'throwaway' money.
You do realize - this kind of language goes directly against Slashdot's well-known AppleCanDoNoWrong policy.
Are you a dissenter? Or what?? You will get modded down for this kind of talk. I did. See:

Spoken like a true apple sycophant.
See this to the end

Exactly.
But: the WashPost took an unecessary negative slant toward Apple here.
Note how my original post was modded a Troll.

Strictly speaking, it qualifies as "old" since let's be real - Micosoft software hasn't changed much since the late Eighties.

If someone said
"All your Linux 2.4 SCO SMP Code in your new telephone are belong to us."
If married, bag goes over head of whoever is riding shotgun.
the SCO Group's Web site came under attack, apparently by hackers unhappy with the company's legal threats against users of the Linux operating system
attacked by who? There's no evidence to support this - you call this reportage??
don't run rsync as a server
is not a workaround -- it's throwing the baby and the server out with the bathwater!
..major thing lacking from the interface is the concept of track rating, and I would love to see that available to me..
They probably left track rating out, figuring you'd then create mp3-meta-rating, then a karma system, and finally another totalitarian localopoly.
Sadly, all true.
