He is not getting in trouble really for spamming as much as using false routing information to spam people using VA computers. No freedom is violated for legitimate online marketers.
Not too mention the fact by default, root is disabled on OSX, everything is run via password using sudo. They mention several times it is recommended to NOT enable root as you will never need to enable it to do anything you need on OS X.
You didn't install anything, you mounted and copied. You need root (sudo) access to to an actual install on OS X. So in a way you both are correct, you DO need root to install, but it can be circumvented if instead of "installing" you merely mount an image file and copy the executable out.
In the past SUNs bread makers was it's hardware and the x86 version of Solaris was never as good nor poular. I think this is there way of keeping current and trying to hold market share before they go the way of the dinosaurs.
to people like us, we see it as a violation of an employees right to own what he does on his own time. But to the other 90%, in a court case, it would appear the employee was trying to steal from Apple was was rightfully owned by Apple. I don't think a case like this will effect marketshare at all.
If you want them to be networked but not be able to connect to websites just use something like a linksys router to block them from using port 80 and 443. That option still allows them AIM if you think that is okay.
I'd take a step back and ask yourself "why" they "needed" the computer in their room in the first place. Then go from there. If need be check around at the latest url filtering programs. They are not alwys good at unfiltering valid sites but if it comes down to it, it will give you piece of mind.
well they were developing the product on their own personal income. Now that they hav some serious VC I am sure we can expect at least an OS X version:) if not a linux one.

It always comes back to the "vhs versus beta" type struggle...:)
I think he means, thanks to the works of these developers and others, he can afford to buy cheaper off the shelf items and get more utility out of them w/o having to buy [which he cannot always afford] higher priced versions of the hardware from other vendors.
Yes but keep in mind,just because the agent may be computer savvy, does nto mean his family is. Government workers don't always make us much as us tech-weenies, so chances are he probably uses what ever is the best for his whole family.
it's a simple enough model ONCE the auto-driving-cars become law someday. Becuase once EVERYONE haone they can talk to each other and wrecks should be a thing of the past (assuming they are not running windows). Then if a car does wreck, it would be because of a system failure, there for litigation would be handled the same way now when a car gets into an accident related to a tire blowing out, or brakes failing,etc.
"Well, it will always be "easy" for a computer to figure out the 'optimal' path through terrain. (of course, by "easy" I mean "NP-hard", but a computer could figure out the best easily-findable paths that another computer would probably use)"
Let's just hope that "other computer" it uses isn't using mapquest,lol
According to HIPAA, an overseas medical transcription company is a "covered entity" that must comply with U.S. laws and regulations as long as it has a stateside "business associate."
Either that or if it is dtermined (BIG IF) then you know they will just remove the violated code from the kernal and if you install the new kernal *poof* you are not in violation any more;)
really,do you live in a small city? I live right outside washington dc, and I think I've gotten "good"directions on mapquest maybe 4 times EVER. Most of the time by the end it gives you misleading directions like "get on 4th street from 3rd st,get back on 3rd street" or looping 5 miles out of your way or just plain going in the wrong direction, and that is just outside the city. I have never actually seen it give correct directions in the city limits of dc. Yahoo maps has been much more reliable.
Phobos was the god of fear, you think this was named by an apple engineer, predicting the reaction of M$ when Apple had 1 million downloads in one day:)
I am just glad we have mandatory signend emails with in our orginization. Since all emails sent and recieved in and out of here are digitally signed they cannot be modified w/o invalidating the emails.

I believe the bulk of what your paying for is not the hardware, but the "easy to use" GIU front end they developed to maintain the server.

Nope RH is now filing for an offical copyrighted trademark, but will have a hard time considering the other project had 5 years of prior use.

DO they need internet access or just a computer?

very true, it is not uncommon to put a patch out for your current OS first, I am sure they'll have one for Jag soon.

yes but to buy the CDs costs between $1500 and $18,000, that's alot of money for free software :) lol

yes but when the duel 3 ghz comes out I'll be drooling over those and not want the 2 ghz model anymore :) *sigh* choices choices
Maybe even just methane mines, that had a chemical mixt that would simulate the same effect as these "methane bubbles".
Either that or if it is dtermined (BIG IF) then you know they will just remove the violated code from the kernal and if you install the new kernal *poof* you are not in violation any more ;)
If I have to pay $700 for something from FSF does that mean they will have to change their name to just SF ?

Isn't everything going web based now, isn't that a key example of client / server computing? :)
