And from what I hear, there is no way these clueless, juvenile script kiddies could EVER hack Slashdot.
How you talk.
BTW, after successfully tricking CommodoreTaco into running my PostScan 2010 script (to check his posts for virii) I now have the entire suite, user data and cheat codes to dozens of 1980's C64 games.
The awesomely bad graphics are one reason you can not purchase the original Tron in advance of the sequel. The awesomely bad plot is another. Disney doesn't want people to remember how bad the movie really was. I mean, I loved it as a kid, don't get me wrong, but I also loved the Dukes of Hazzard, Benny Hill, and the A-Team. Kids have terrible taste in entertainment.
How true. How true.
I've been drenched by waves of nostalgia and purchased various old movies and TV shows on DVD and been shocked how poorly they age in reality vs. my memory.
Thing about Tron, though, is some of those old graphics have a very beautiful look in their simplicity. Updated movies with better CGI *cough* Star Wars *cough* are not better for the extra CPU cycles expended.
I'm certain someone could do a really bang up job on the Mona Lisa, in 3D even, but would it compare to the original?
Fool me over and over and I'll just blame someone.
Like so many of Microsoft's products it'll probably be "Pretty good", but rooted in the monolithic CYA culture at Microsoft which can't escape the extreme luck, by which Microsoft's products were selected to be industry standard by business, just because, there will still be some significant element of "They Just Don't Get It" that will hold it back and it will be quietly consigned to a dark corner with other "Killer" things from Microsoft over the years.
Perhaps they should try something different, perhaps a card trading game or pogs or collectible little plastic figurines...
I might sound like a snide, sarcastic git, but their track record isn't very impressive, even when they decide to lose $$,$$$,$$$,$$$. for a few years, pushing it.
The biggest security hole is Microsoft's version of the javascript interpreter. They should collaborate with Google and adopt the rewrite for Chrome, it would solve half the problems right there.
BTW, I found a virius in yor post - clikc this link to free triel of PostScan 2010!
iTunes has always been a frustration to work with. I have thousands of MP3s in mine, mostly OTR and the concept of one central library isn't too bad, but the inability to create folders within folders, for organization, is exasperating. It's like these designers never thought anyone would like to organize more than 1 folder deep.
Just create separate playlists -- there are playlist folders you can use as well. If you are talking about the file system organization, you can ask iTunes to leave the files alone, giving you full control over how your music files are organized.
What I want is something like this: Audio media ->Music -->Jazz --->Madeleine Peyroux -->Christmas --->Charlie Brown Christmas --->Nat King Cole -->Rock --->UK tracks --->Metal --->Mixed ->OTR -->Fibber Magee -->Burns and Allen -->Fred Allen -->Jack Benny
I hate to say it, and don't mean this as flamebait, but Slashdot's infestation with javascript isn't for the better, either.
I've got it looking like the classic/., but doesn't appear there is a way to get back to a javascript-free/.
We've got languages which run in environments which run in environments which run in environments and every so many years need a bigger CPU and more memory just to stay in place.
I was one of the few people who PAID for SoundJam... it WAS that good.
iTunes has been nothing but a continuing series of disappointments. Uglier interface, no extra features that I even remotely care about.
It seems to be the nature of all software development as time goes on. Back in my day we counted bytes and processor cycles and knew how to handle interrupts. We wrote code to be functional, reliable and uncomplicated.
iTunes is like the internet in many ways, clogged with unnecessary code, features nobody really needs (or can understand how to use) and straying from its core focus. What next, a javascript version as a webapp? That'd be just lovely.

I looked over the new iPods and 'Meh' is the best I can muster. Why isn't there a 64GB or 128GB Nano? This is 2010, after all. 16GB just doesn't cut it, way too small and I don't want all the stuff of a Touch, just for more capacity.
I'm still on my 30GB classic, which is starting to hit drive errors. Time is running out and Apple doesn't look like the answer for a replacement.
So happy all my stuff is in MP3 format, not Apple's proprietary format.
The film leaked to the Web five months before the movie's US debut
Looking for a culprit ? The guy who decided to sit on the movie for months while the marketing campaign was already on. When people want to see something and it is available, albeit illegally, they will.
MPAA & RIAA logic is the sort of stuff Lewis Carroll couldn't even make up.
Meanwhile, I didn't see it because I didn't wanna see movie about a gym locker.
The feature still seems to be available - so you can set an image if you want, but I guess they won't be providing you with one of their own picked images as a default.
It's nice to have it as an Opt-In, but it was forced upon users. That's what Microsoft have done so many times, which has resulted many a ground molar, it isn't a nice way to offer change. It effectively tells users, "F___ you, we're doing this and you're stuck with it."
Google needs to remember one maxim of features: make them available and let users decide if they want to use it or not - this results often in the exclamation, "Neat!" It's the good way to roll out change and leaves users to sing your praises in the very best PR money can't buy - word of mouth.
BTW, this is how Google became the company they did, rather than kicking people around and telling them to like it or lump it.
I love it when people who have no idea on what has to be involved in these investigations assume everyone moves slow~
Arrogance of ignorance at it's best.
And with this sort of reply were are no closer to any illumination of the subject or rigors.
Investigation of something which happened is one thing, which requires reassembling the pieces, cooperations between divisions, aggregating the facts and weighing what to move on.
But when something is happening, well, like the man being robbed on the sidewalk, the information is there. There's this wonderful information system in Northern Virginia which knows just about everything which has traveled over IP. If a kidnapper called up on a disposable cell phone demanding ransom the traffic could be researched within hours and the location of the phone pin-pointed at the time of the call. Thank George W. Bush for that system.
Now we have, what appears less urgent crime and investigations drag out, while the crime continues. I can't accept it takes months for someone to look at the laws and mounting complaints, as evidence, and then move on it. If there were a whiff that this outfit were connected to Al Qaeda for fundraising they'd have been shut down pronto.
Clearly this investigation wasn't given much priority.
"It has been very useful using Obsession (for Men) to get the jaguars in front of these camera traps... and that allows us to estimate with greater confidence the genders and the numbers that live in each studied site."
So... which gender seemed to like the cologne better?
Perhaps it's not so much that the cats like the scent, but that they recognise that their prey would like the scent so they go there to wait for the prey to come along.
Could also have similarity to the sweet stench of carrion.
I foresee this being used in a highly successful ad campaign - until a half dozen male hikers disappear in Central America and some very fat jaguars, wearing tight-fitting jeans, are spotted in the vicinity.
I returned one of them (they give you a number to call) and asked why my cell was getting spammed. The "professional" got very abusive.
I immediately filed a report. I am glad something actually happens after that. Restores a smidgen of faith in government.
It will restore more if they castrate everyone involved in this scheme.
Sadly, government moves very, very slowly. Usually the victims are long gone and very jaded in government by the time action has taken place.
It like, doth peeve me, like, totally forsooth and verily. I have a phone, I have email and I have a browser. Each one is attacked by various vermin in their own way. It's not hard to find. Why do years go by before people like Ralsky and SBN get shut down? Are they doing all the legwork through Jack Webb with a Ouija Board or seance?

The worst thing about succeeding with a game console is that the customers are notoriously disloyal.
The moment a cooler must-have game comes out on another platform, they'll ditch the XBox.
Now if they hack Burger King or the Pho King then I'm hosed.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fool me over and over and I'll just blame someone.

Like it or not, Microsoft has become Brand X.
I still view the Browser as a "work in progress" there are certainly a lot of things which need finishing in it or it performs badly.
... for my grandchildren.

Firefox will have it fixed within hours.
Chrome will have it fixed within days.

Lechers had to actually go outdoors and look at live, clothed people for a change.

Yes, the 11th Commandment: "Thou shalt make backups"
Unfortunately, it was on the third tablet...

Wait, what?!? You reached a human being at AT&T?
OK, now you've got 0 credibility.
Seems they were up for a Good Spacekeeping Seal of Approval - before Jane found they had to be Dry Clean only.

Dang, next they'll be telling me I can't turn off the Background Image on Google, so I have to shift back to AltaVista...
