A more secure way of doing online transaction would require an intermediary that would receive both the payment and a description of the good to receive from the buyer, and the goods and description of goods from the seller.
The intermediary could then match and confirm the order, and proceed with the exchange of goods/payment.
10.1 does in fact break things. There were hacked up drivers for the Lucent WaveLan wireless ethernet card
Gee, they mustn't have been very good hacks, were they?
Our application runs just fine after the update. Blame failing applications on poor QA, or hacked-up, non-kosher workarounds for things that were not quite working with prior versions of OS X.
By looking into it (with the URL I gave above), I actually downloaded a colorized version of it. It ran fine under Classic. It's as perverted as I remembered it.
I know at least one person who has specifically not gotten a mac laptop because of it's lack of mouse buttons.
That's the kind of people sho should not be using a computer anyhow. What kind of idiot would base his car buying decision on the number of buttons on the steering wheel?
This is totally besides the point anyhow. Mac OS X supports multi-button mouse, without having to install any drivers. This is the case for my McAlley OptiMouse. Even the scrolling wheel works fine.
Lemme ask one thing to those trigger-happy, button addicts out there... where's your other hand? Right atop 105 more buttons.
Data routes to most US news site was either non-existent, or too painfull to use.
By the time I found a local news site that had goo info on what was going on, I had read most of the (shocking) first details of what was going on on Slashdot. I actually learned about it on Slashdot, which is when I checked-out washingtonpost.com, as posted by a read (by then, CNN, ABCNEWS, CBS and MSNBC we already down).
I followed most of the developments on slashdot until I could get a BBC QuickTime stream of their newscast.
As far as I'm concerned, as a end-user of SlashDot, I didn't notice the load from your servers.
(Sorry, couldn't help it...it was just a little too obvious who you work for.:)
What I do on/. is totally private and not work-related. Also, due to the OSS nature of/., I try not to blatantly publicize who I work for. It's not the place for that, unless the context requires it.
I'm not sure I understand your first question. If you're talking about IMIP/ICAP support, we already support vCalendar and iCalendar, but lack automatic response-and-reply of attendance change from/to foreign calendaring systems, in the current 5.x versions of the server. Deduct what you want from the upcoming servers.
Concerning your second question, though, I must take the company attitude. Which is, not to comment on unreleased products, wether they exist or not.
Though, you can help answering yourself by these simple facts:
CTOC took nearly two years of development to get it where it's at.
The Mac version of MS Outlook uses a totally new/fresh/independent code base than the original Windows versions.
MS Outlook for Mac just came out (barely).
MS Outlook for Mac is not carbonized yet, and we're concentrating Mac development efforts on the carbonized version of our CTime client and code base .
On first sight (not that we have or have not looked into it), the mac version doesn't seem to split the communication layers out like the Windows version. Every component, like the calendaring one, is a single (huge) blob of code in it's own shared lib which doesn't seem to link with anything external.
Given the above, you could deduct one of three possible scenarios: a) we're looking into it, b) work has begun or c) We've looked into it and work has not begun because it doesn't look feasible for the moment.
Hope this helps. If you want to discuss this further, maybe we should do this via e-mail, since this is getting out of context, and don't want to loose any karma points to that (took be a while to get back up to 40 after a few bad postings of mine...)
I work for a company where we have a multi-platform calendaring solution. Groupware type of thing. (And yes, we support Linux as well.)
While the Windows team was preparing drafts for an upcomming version, in the Mac team, we were readying a Carbon-compliant version of our product for Mac OS X.
The previous version was 5.1. This new, carbonized version didn't have any new features per say. A couple of bug fixes, and a new core API (Carbon). It was then numerated as 5.2. Basically, it's just a port of the 5.1 release, plus extra things to make it behave better under Mac OS X (AQUA stuff, and direct BSD networking instead of Open Transport).
The new 5.2 release supports Mac OS 8.6 and beyong, including Mac OS X. Prior to that, the 5.1 release supported System 7.1.2 on up.
The 5.2 release being a Mac OS X port (although it works under Mac OS 8.6 and up) meant that we could break away with System 7 without pissing too many users, since it didn't bring anything new in terms of functionality, since the 5.1 release.
The 5.2 release, therefore, acts as a cushion between the 5.1 release and the upcoming 6.0 which will most likely drop Mac OS 8.x, while be usable w/ Mac OS 9.x (and Mac OS X).

"There is no way for this to affect Acrobat Reader," said Adobe's Sarah Rosenbaum, director of Acrobat product management. "The code in Acrobat that recognizes attachments does not exist in Reader."
So, when you pay for the enhanced version of Acrobat, you get infected. It should be the other way around... Adobe just doesn't understand business (as MicroSoft does).

You're missing a very important one that was created R Giskar (I'm not sure of the english name) and taken over and exercised by R. Daniel Ilivaw: (which forces a rewrite of the 3 laws you mention)
Zero: A robot must not harm, or through inaction, allow to come to harm Humanity.
One: A robot must not harm, or through inactivity allow to come to harm, a human being, as long as it does not conflict with law zero.
Two: A robot must obey all commands given to it by a human being except when these conflict with the first law.
Three: A robot must preserve itself at all times unless by doing so it contradicts the first two laws.
So, assuming this is programmed right, the law Zero could most-certainly be applied to kill as many humans as required for humanity to progress, and most-certainly allow AI to take over humans in every aspect of their lifes.
The foundation books by Asimov illustrates this quite clearly. The master puppeteer is an AI robot throughout thousands of years. For the better of humanity, of course.
