Yes, but I figured Lew Tucker was a reasonably common name, so I was also including Salesforce.com in the search. Maybe it's the same guy, and he just recently hopped from Sun to Salesforce.com?
I have serious doubts about the truthfulness of this article. According to the article, Lew Tucker is a Vice President at Salesforce.com, but I can't find a 'Lew Tucker' anywhere in a Google search, except for somebody by that name with a Gmail account. He doesn't seem to be anywhere on the salesforce.com website, either. I wonder if the writer of the article made him up?
So's his whole company. Read the the comments on that Channel 9 Circle Jerk Those people are scary! I'm just hoping that they're so far divorced from reality that it will pass them by. They certainly give that impression.
According to the article, the outsourcing company was supplied with the PearPC source by Arben. The fact that they did not question its use is a much larger issue that needs to be addressed.
I asked a similar question of the Connectix guys a few years ago? It was something like: "If I ran Ram-Doubler on my Mac, then Virtual PC, then RAM-Doubler for the PC on the Virtual PC, how much RAM would I get?" Their eyes crossed and they started babbling...
Sorry, but after a full term course in MaxScript I just have to comment. MaxScript is a horrible, nasty example of a scripting language. The syntax is ugly, debugging is primitive at best, and some features just don't work properly. Further, it is not integrated that well into Max; some features of Max, lofting, for example, are not scriptable. Other 3D systems, particularly Maya, have much better scripting systems in them.
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you there. The plot rambles, the protagonist is completely unlikable, the writing style is dull and repetitive, and it really bogs down in the final chapters.
Typical. Nowhere did I say I was a mac user, you just jumped to that conclusion. As you jumped to a bunch of other conclusions. As you ignored my major point, which was that security by obscurity doesn't work! And I won't even begin to correct your vision of Windows 'security'. I don't know were to start.
The reason the Mac lacks spyware is security due to obscurity. Macs make up a very small percentage of the desktop market. Hell, everything except Windows makes up a small percentage, given that Windows is above 90% marketshare. I am so fucking sick and tired of this bullshit argument! OS X is inherently more secure than Windows because of the BSD underpinnings, segregating user modes, and locked-by-default ports. If your moronic 'security by obscurity' theory held any water at all then Apache would be the most-hacked webserver out there, because it has the lion's share of the server market. But it isn't. Guess what, Microsoft's IIS is.
Well, it's not on 'Best of Sellers', because I'm looking at it right now. It's also not on any of the discs re-issued in 'A Celebration of Sellers'. Honestly, it doesn't really sound like something Sellers would do, and the Pythons performed original material to my knowledge.
1. Collect royalties directly from the end user 2. Issue an injunction to the end user to cease using their IP - immediately.
I don't think the patent holder can do either. This was SCO FUD, and now it's Microsoft FUD. The end user isn't violating the patent, the manufacturer is. Think about it; is it your responsibility to ensure that your car doesn't violate any patents, or Ford's?
I know. These were smart cards. They had their own CPU, and something like 8K of EEPROM. You had to place them in a contact reader for authentication. Ours were made by a subsidiary of Groupe Bull based in Texas, I think.
That's nothing. I had to use a smartcard to get into my place of work in 1987! The damn things have been around for years, They're a solution in search of a problem.

Except that the Forbes article says that "... a Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record, which is covered under Microsoft's SenderID framework. "
Does this now mean that SenderID includes SPF? Or is Forbes confused?
Anyway, it doesn't get around the fact that SPF generates false positives, according to the article.
but windows 2003 is pretty rock solid.
Riight. Like this?
Go on, pull the other one. Windows is just as leaky as it's ever been.

"That, however, has been remediated."
The hell? Remediated isn't even a word! Are you going to believe the CEO of a company when he makes up words?
I think you're looking for Roujin Z.

"...Stroustrup asserts that C++ was also used.
I bet he also trys to catch all the code NASA uses.
Thanks for that. I found this (Windows Video File) linked from that discussion. This woman is a Microsoft shill, no two ways about it. Pathetic.

I'd say Michael Ironside was a sure thing for the lead role, but he might be a bit old now (at 54)

Yes, it's a local program that can't be installed remotely, it was announced in 2002, and it only works in OS 8 - 9.x.
