    The first version of Myst was done in Hypercard.
    yes and no.

    the 1st version of Myst was done with Hypercard, but they hacked it up so much that if you didn't know what the transitions looked like you wouldn't know that it was hypercard. for example they added color and quicktime, which took _years_ for the shipping version of HyperCard to gain, and even then, transitions didn't work with apples color hack.

    Part of the beauty of ROM images is that they don't wear out like our favorite cartidges and consoles do.

    But with the right equipment and know-how, you can make a rom image from the used cartridge.

    and if you RTFP you would see this quote:

    don't think so. The easiest way to fix BIND to ignore wildcard records is to simply make wildcards unrecognizable. Frankly, I can't think of a reason why DNS supported it in the first place.

    are you trying to make my life and that of every other domain name leaser who runs mutiple web sites on one server hard?

    have a look at DNS for images.ForgottenNewbies.com, board.ForgottenNewbies.com, etc.

    i could go on, but i'll just get to the point. They are setup so that the DNS for *.ForgottenNewbies.com points to 64.142.15.200, and then i just have the individual site set up in apache. on top of that when someone wants a single file from my server in irc i can give them a url like i.love.long.long.long.urls.ForgottenNewbies.com/fi le :)

    if you force me to tweek my DNS records (my ISP charges per change - yeah i know i should just run my own copy of BIND, but i don't want to worry about the uptime of a pair of DNS servers) i shall be forced to send you the bill :P

    One problem with changing the user-agent string is that I am afraid that people will change that permanently and never look back.

    It is good to change on a site-by-site basis if the person is having a problem (only after emailing webmaster@, obviously...).


    it _IS_ on a site by site basis, and ontop of that, it's on a session by session basis.

  20. Re:Have you ever installed RedHat? on Microsoft wants Automatic Update for Windows · · Score: 1

    If you skip setting up standard users (which most grandmas would do) you can ONLY log in as root. Same goes for every distro I've used (Slackware, Debian, Redhat, Suse, etc...)
    while Mac OS X, isn't a linux distro, it is a bunch of preparatory stuff on top of BSD, and it forces you to create an admin account before you can use it for the 1st time. (think of it as a sane root - it asks for passwords every time you try to do anything rootlike and then sudo's the command) It then disables the standard root account that you can later enable if you wish.

    It's not an attack on linux it's a fact of who is using the system and who is setting it up? IF it's the same person they are significantly more likely to use ROOT. This is the reason Linux has almost zero likelihood of being successful on the Desktop, it requires conceptual understanding of security and the how and why you should(n't) run as root. Grandma doesn't care.
    some distro should do it the Mac OS X way, no root, just access to sudo.

    Plus, most users of computers learnt the Windows-Way. All Admin, All the time.
    mac users seem to be adapting pretty well. that isn't to say that some aren't, but a lot are.

    If we could just get rid of the hackers there would be no security issues. BURN THEM AT THE STAKE!!! lol, j/k ;)

  25. Re:hurray for apple on G5s Start Shipping · · Score: 3, Informative

    Hey, it's not like Apple haven't had production problems before now (*cough* G4 cube) so maybe this is smart anyway.

    if by "production problems" you mean "didn't know when to stop," then yes, apple had problems with the production of the PM G4 Cube. ;)

    i wish that apple had properly priced that line! if you had a choice of $2000 for a non-expandable though small brick computer, or $1500 for an expandable G4 tower at the same speed, which would you do?

    exactly.
