    Tard eh? You're so awesome at putting people down. I wasn't being cleaver, was just recounting what I've learned from the days of HS, which the proper terminology for calling the "moons" around other planets is satellites. Yay for Wikipedia, I'm glad it's always 100% accurate. Put me down again, it shows how cleaver YOU are...

    Apparently not many people paid attention to this in high school.

    The title of this article should be: Saturn's New Satellites Named.

  7. Re:Of course on Build High-End Audio System w/ Hard Drive Storage? · · Score: 1

    Are they going for easy? OR are they going for audiophile quality? It sounds like they want the latter. Apple is fine in their sound quality in their hardware, but I doubt that they'll have rave reviews for best of sound in audiophile magazines. M-Audio, E-Mu, Audiotrak, Echo, Terratec, Mark of the Unicorn, RME, and Digidesign would be audiophile contenders.

    Cheers.

    If you find out how to do such (I know tweakui downloaded off of Microsoft's site can do some tweaking of it, but nothing as much as being able to move the tasks around in a sorted order)... let me know!!

    Tabbrowser Extension can do this, or on the side, or many more features you may have not been previously exposed to.

  12. Re:Also on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    I wonder if that was Tabbrowser Preferences or Tabbrowser Extension that those complaints are about. Tabbrowser Preferences (the more popular of the two, and the only one of the two advertised on the Firefox extensions page) I had my initial troubles with (nothing to do with speed, more to do with instalation and stability issues). Tabbrowser Extension has been a saviour to me in many ways; and though I haven't run any tests to confirm and speed decreases within the browser, I know the "feel" of its speed hasn't changed.

    Anyway, Tabbroswer Extension is updated regularly... might be something to try out for a bit, nothing like a good ol' uninstall if it doesn't work out for ya.

  20. Re:Masquarading a security hole? Why? on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 2 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Think of "ownership" and "accountability". If the administrator had the right to log in as any user, accountability gets thrown out the window. The administrator would then be able to sabbotage the clients files and the client would "seem" to be accountable. This could be a HUGE security hole in a world where not everyone INSIDE the company can possibly be trusted.

    Think of the opposite, where there can be no Masquarading... if a client creates or edits a file, the file ownership attributes are tagged with the clients ID. All accountability of that file now lies with him because no one else can alter the file (not even the Administrator) without changing the ownership, therefore changing accountability.

  21. XP and the Compatibility Engine. on Windows XP, Games, and Administrator Privileges? · · Score: 4, Informative

    One other thing you might consider is the fact that Windows XP initiates the Compatibility Engine on a lot of games. One game I can think of right off the bat that does is The Sims. A user needs to be either in the Power Users or the Administrators group in order to run a game or any other application with this engine included in use.

    There are a few things you might consider doing. First would to be to google to figure out how one might add the "lesser" users to be able to use the compatibility engine, or at least to run those particular applications (games) with elevated privledges. Another is to write a simple script to use the "runas" command to automatically run a program as administrator using a cached password (in the registry) to run the game in question and then creating a shortcut to that script on the desktop (or wherever) to run the game.

    One other thing you can do is add your kids to the power users group then use the Local Security Settings mmc and right-click on "Software Restriction Policies" and chose "Create New Policies." You then can start creating rules of what directories are accessable on the computer (make sure in the "Enforcement" policy to choose "All users except local administrators", you don't want to lock yourself out). You can refine which folders they are granted or denied access to by right-clicking on the "Additional Rules" folder and choosing a new "hash" rule to specify a particular application itself, or a new "path rule" to specify an application path (which'll include EVERYTHING in all subfolders within that path.)

    These are just a few ideas to get you started down the path.

    Maybe you don't get the whole use of "PC"... Personal Computer. It truley IS the first 64-bit Personal Computer in mass market. The first 64-bit Workstation or Server? No. But it is the first 64-bit Personal Computer. Maybe you should take a chill pill and figure out just Apple is presenting before you open you mouth. And Apple didn't run these benchmark tests themselves... thay had a 3rd party do it, Apple's just presenting the scores.
