I think he's saying that since a camel isn't a donkey or an elephant, it will be taken into the tent and eaten. Except for the nose, because it slices too thin for a good sandwich.
OTOH, many states have laws on the books requiring a "Tax Stamp" for illegal drugs. Get busted selling pot -small fine and maybe some jail time. Get busted selling pot without the Tax Stamp -world of hurt.
I've seen LOTS of people using ipod headphones on non-ipod mp3 players and even cd walkmans.
You sure those aren't something like the RetroPod (Walkman modded as iPod case)? You might be less likely to get mugged if they thought you just had an old piece of junk.
Or in this case, the ability of the system administrator to open up the box...
SSH is off by default, the admin had to turn it on.
Hackers don't generally have shell accounts -the admin had to set them up.
So if you take steps to make the Mac Mini less secure, then advertise you've done so, it gets hacked. Expect all major tech outlets to cover this new and amazing Mac vulnerability (you think I'm joking?).
I'd trust them for this service far more than anyone else
That may be, but I can fully understand companies not trusing any outside company without a express written agreement between the two on how the data should be handled. In some cases the "sharing" of this information with Google may not only be against company policy, but may actually be illegal in the case of some companies that handle sensitive personal information (health related companies).
I'm not following that. If there's so much content, then sorting by keywords or other criteria that has something to do with the content would be what's wanted. Not a random number that happens to be associated with the content.
So if you're looking for CNN, you look for CNN, not a number that happens to be associated with CNN.
Kind of like my post last week about Vista still using letters to designate drives. Its necessary to have a simple designation, but these sesignations are meaningless to the end user. Where do you find the G drive, or what's on channel 48?
Another issue is that if the Disney Pixar deal goes through, then with Jobs being the largest Disney share holder he will be sitting on both sides of the DRM debate.
But as a major stockholder and CEO of Pixar, he was already on both sides.
I still remember the NYTimes article when then Disney CEO Eisner was sitting in front of a congressional panel crying about how Monsters, Inc. was on the internet and blasting Apple for its irresponsible Rip, Mix, Burn campaign. The Times article had a picture of Eisner representing the media interests, Jobs representing the evil tech companies and a Monster's Inc. image representing the infringing of copyrighted works. Neither the Times, nor Eisner while testifyiing, seemed to be able to connect the dots between Apple-Jobs-Pixar. I often wonder if that testimony by Eisner wasn't partly responsible for the visible hostility between Jobs and Eisner.
I have a 12 year old Sony 5 disk CD changer that still works perfectly, even though I've moved almost 8-10 times with it.
I wonder if that's the same model I have. Mine's about the same age and only been moved a half-dozen times, but still working great. The Sony TV we purchased around the same time is still working too -though I wish it would die so I had an excuse to replace it.
It's when I get killed over and over again on the same mission that I feel like hitting things.
Did you know domestic abuse calls go up in cites represented by the professional sports team that just lost a close game?
Just a tidbit to indicate its not just video games that make people feel that way. Just go for a nice, relaxing drive ~5:00 p.m.
One thing I found interesting about a couple of these studies showing what areas of the brain were "excited" was that not only the areas associated with agression and violence were stimulated during gameplay, but also the areas associated with higher reasoning (unlike watching sports IIRC). Does that mean kids playing violent video games learn not to "lose their head" when confronted with an intense situation? Maybe that's why the rate of violent adolescent crime is dropping....
"Dad! We can tell the difference between reality and a game. Duh!"
LOL. I remember the debates when I was a kid about wether watching Wile E. Coyote makes kids believe they can jump off cliffs, walk away smooshed like an accordian, then be fine 2 seconds later.
And don't get me started on Elmer Fudd & Yosemite Sam vs. Bugs Bunny...
What you should have offered as evidence would be something like stats comparing teenage violence in the 50s to today. However the stats show the opposite, more violence, so the evidence does not support your conclusion.
No, actually violence among adolescents has decreased significantly based on DoJ statistics. See the fisrt graph here which at least goes back to the early 70's. Haven't found anything going back to the 50's yet. Where do you get the idea teenage violence was lower in the 50's?
If you correlate two random things, chances are very good you'll have either a positive or negative correlation.
The textbook example I remember was one showing a correlation between chocolate sales and the absolute number of crimes reported. Who knew that chocolate causes people to commit crimes?
Also don't forget that underlying properties is often the real source of corrolation
It also mentioned that when the population increases, chocolate sales and the absolute number of crimes reported also go up.
They have no evidence that kids that don't play video games are any less likely to commit violent crimes.
You mean like that wonderful study that got our congresscritters riles up about 6 months ago? The one that surveyed a couple hundred kids and found out that video game players were responsible for 2/3rds of the violent acts committed?
Of course we don't know if the popluation of video game players was 50%, 67% or 90%. Without knowing that, how do we know if the "players" were any more or less violent?
We really do need more math & science taught in our schools.
I don't agree that Violent Video games are breeding a generation of violent children.
This article, based on Department of Justice statistics on violent crime rates for adolescents seems to agree. In fact, based on that first graph, one could argue that video games are the greatest crime deterrent we have. But that would require intrepreting a correlation as showing cause and affect.
...which will be removed by Apple's next firmware update.
Then just copy it back to the hard drive. The iPod can run 3rd party code. I'm talking about Napster putting their own code on the drive which will unlock songs which can then be played normally. The problem with previous attempts is that they tried to make it Fairplay compatible when they should have just done their own thing. Maybe what I'm thinking about isn't possible, but AFAIK it should be doable.
Slashdot Mirror
Let me requote part of that,
Sergey Brin and Larry Page, Google's founders and biggest shareholders.
So in fact, they are doing what their stockholders want them to do. Right?

Wow! So the "Switchers" campaign did have some success!
Its red, so of course its blood -the traces of iron found are bound to the hemoglobin (which carries oxygen) in the red blood cells.
It couldn't possibly be the rain was red because the traces of iron were simply iron oxide (AKA rust) which also turns water red.
Yep, cuz' we know stupid Mac users are always going around enabling SSH and giving shell accounts to total strangers.
Oh, wait, 99.9% of Mac users are blissfully ignorant of what security defaults to change to make their system more hacker-friendly.
I agree its not much of a vulnerability, but it still may point to something Apple needs to fix in proofing the OS from local exploits.
Or in this case, the ability of the system administrator to open up the box...

In other news, after giving burglers the first three of four numbers for your safe's combination, the fastest can open it in less than 30 minutes.

I think about ten years ago I started to feel like they had lost the cool factor.
Hate to tell you this, but it might be because you're getting old(er). Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
But yes, Sony has lost a bit of the "Cool Factor".
True. Anyone remember what happened when Apple tried to get into the game console market? If "Pippin" means nothing to you, don't worry about it.
Of course that was before the Second Coming of Jobs.

And all these effects are also seen in fans watching their favorite sports team winning or losing a close game.
Not to mention what it does to the participants themselves.

A lot of people started filling up their iTunes Library and their iPods before the ITumes Music Store even existed.
