Hey. We've had 12 years of Howard, almost. Imagine if you have another 4 years of Bush ahead of you. The US would be screwed too.
That said, AUSTRALIA is not in the least bit communist. We are, however, voting strongly for more worker and consumer rights these days, where previously its all been about business. We've seen how well thats worked out for us for the past 12 years so, screw that.
something like 1% of males are psychopathic, and about 90% of those end up in positions of power in large corporations, where most of the traits in psychopathy are looked for in top executives... and yet people wonder why our corporations are all greedy inhuman unfeeling monsters.
in australia we have a legal principle: If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, eats like a duck, weighs roughly the same as a duck and most australians who've seen it all consider it to be a duck, its most likely duck and probably laws about ducks apply, even if said duck says its a fucking goose.
This is a complete and utter nightmare, for so many reasons. You start to mistrust the routers in your network, then you should also distrust most of the tools in your arsenal. Can you trust that laptop? What about the chipset in that laptop? Can you trust the copy of GCC you have?
This is going to keep a lot of people awake at night.
Depends if it was a "view this page and you're 0wned" exploit or a "view this page, click accept through some requests, etc" exploit as to how dangerous it is.
But as a mac user.. will be using FF for a while until apple patch;)
this happened over a month ago... and we get an outcry now? I must say, but I really doubt there were that many people downloding OOO from the bigpond mirror.
Also, its a mirror. Mirror providers usually hold the right to remove anything that ceases to interest them anymore. Don't like it? Use a different mirror.
I doubt people on the 200mb plans are downloading OOO. They probably don't understand what it is.
No, I think what they mean is that you should fit within the company culture. Not that you are culturally fit. An amusing concept thought it is.
Hands up all those who interviewed at Google, seemed to be going great then got told "no" because you weren't a fit, culturally?
*holds up hand*
I think its the standard corporate response to someone that they don't like. Its weasel speak for "One of our managers didn't like you but rather than just say that we'll say that you're not a good fit, culturally. When really you are. Hey, I liked you. I thought you would get in. But the manager of the department didn't think he could work with you. Sorry."
Meh. I'm so over Google. She won't return my calls and the second date was just a complete fizzle.
As for the EMAIL & support: they'd been selling virtualization software to a crowd of tech-savvy developers and sysadmins, then they suddenly started dealing with regular Mac users who wanted to sync their mobile phones or run accounting software and were now trying to "virtualize" the copy of windows previously installed under "bootcamp". Anybody here want to volunteer for that particular helldesk? No. No, I don't. No. Ow.
In your opinion, it's not ready. But who the hell are you to make that choice for the rest of us? Who the hell are these others that have made this choice?
If the existence and proof of extra-terrestrial visitors to our planet was made public by the US Government (lets face it, if any other government does it, nobody will take the seriously), I don't think it would be the end of the world. In my opinion.
Some people would freak out, for all of... ooh... a week. We'd have to sit through 6 months of boring documentaries on TV about why the governments thought it was a good idea to cover it up. We'd go through another 6 months wondering why on earth they don't just come down and stay for dinner instead of the bizzare cow-tipping gig most aliens seem to be on right now.
Really, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Humans are by and large one the most adaptable of all the large, complex creatures on this world, and we have a wonderful ability to delude ourselves. If this came out, there'd still be people who are dead certain of our place in the center of the universe, and nothing would change for most people.

If its any consolation there are probably at least another 5 or 6 people who run OS X Server. And I'm sure they hate it just as much
re McCain; don't forget the whole "he's a racist pig" thing:

Goetse is much more "o" than it is "*", imho.

In fact, it might be more "O"

it's like a zombie ... and it wants to eat our brainz.
our delicious, unix based, brainz.
I suspect it's their get out of gaol free card, you know, if blue-ray wins.
Bwahahahaha.
... I, for one, welcome our insane robotic anti-aircraft human slaying murderous overlords.
first?

There is a reason RFC 3987 isn't widely supported; it's horrible.
Real news a bit slow today?
Jesus H Christ!
I hope nobody gives those suckers a knife! Holy cow! We'll have hordes of marauding knife-wielding Octopi invading!
(suckers, heh heh heh. I couldn't resist. Sorry.)

I agree.
that video makes baby jesus cry.
Ooh, that was sharp!
Also, even if they're required to release the source (they aren't), surely they would be required to do so once an actual product ships, not before?
Don't be silly. You wouldn't consider it because your a unix zealot :P
Not entirely true. You can review the code for darwin, and you can review the code for WebKit.
The only thing you can't review is the UI drawing code in AppKit/Quartz/Cocoa etc.
