In Mac OS X, there's a setting right in the Network Preference Pane that is under "Ethernet" and it allows you to scale up the packet size depending on the immediately aparent network appliances. I haven't been able to use this feature because:
A: Some clients have nice network hardware, but legacy copper B: Some clients have gig copper, but not enough hardware
I can't wait to see the transfer rates on Gig with Jumbo packets though. *Drool*
Don't trust Mapquest for directions to the MOA if you don't know any better. It actually did end me up in a dead end 6 miles away from the MOA in a residential area. Pissed me off so bad...
Now I use Yahoo! maps...maybe they're the same...but I don't know.
No sir, I am right. You are reffering to the numbers Jobs used in his keynote speech in France just recently. I am reffering to a quote from one of the big dogs within Apple. Though Apple may not have quite 40%...they do indeed have the LARGEST marketshare of all PC makers. It may only be about 30%...I'm not sure...but it is impressive. PC makers don't sell their laptops very much at all. Apple by far has much better laptop offerings pricewise. And prettier.
You are completely wrong. Apple just announced their market shares in all their markets. Apple already has the largest chunk of laptop sales in the industry and it's closer to 40% than 10%.
Just thought i'd let you know.
BTW...they also have 5% desktop and better than 40% MP3 player (#1).
Mine Uncle is in that thar book. He becomes CEO yadda yadda yadda. He told me that Romero is a putz, and seein's how Romero worked for my Uncle, you can clearly see who's wearing tha pants.
"5% of all windows installations are installed on leapyear day and crash two or more times every day...the other 95% of all installations of windows crash only once a day. It has been decided that all computers running windows will have their clocks updated via the net daily to keep their time accurate. This will of course require a restart. We are going to charge $0.75 per restart now."
In other news...Microsoft (MSFT) has increased its' revenue by $410,625,000,000,000.00 or more yearly.
I am in CCNA training right now (Sem 3 done), and I can bring a router from nothing to fully operational using different protocols and routing methods in a short matter of time. I don't know how to make a specially crafted IPv4 packet. Anybody know how to do this? And does anybody know the code to the said packet? Or is this just a specially long packet? I'm curious.
Funny thing is, it isn't about security most of the time. It is about stupidity. The people that are going to be effected by this are the same people that open all attachments on their email whether or not it says.jpg or.exe.
My girlfriend, who is actually a pretty smart girl, had REPEATEDLY installed viruses on my PC without knowing it. She sees pretty boxes and I tell her, "Honey, just "ex" out of it". She clicks "OK" instead. Oops she says.
This is mainly why I limit our email to the Mac, as well as chatting on websites. But the shit still makes its way through to her one way or the other.
Reformat again...
My point is, it is again, without failing, not really MS's or Vendor's problems. It is an end-user problem. They blithely accept any proposal that pops up on the screen. I know a few ways this porn thing has been propogating, and I can't do much when my GF decides to click OK on everything.
By the way, any of you guys using XP know how to get rid of "Net-less" pop-ups? My GF helped it outsmart me and I can't get rid of these things, which mostly advertise how to get rid of themselves, which is doubly annoying.
And the "boobs" icon on my desktop....haven't had time to mess with it, but it seems content to stay there, no matter how furiously I drag and drop it onto the recycling bin.
Oh yeah, and I know this porn thing is a windows script mainly because the radio I heard this from SPECIFICALLY said: "And this ----- does not effect the Apple Macintosh line of computers at all." And you know the media; they don't even know Linux exists yet.
------ = Whatever they called it (Virus, problem, etc.)
The OS was RECOMPILED to work with the 64 bit processor. This is stupid. Why are you saying it isn't a 64 bit OS. Because it doesn't have 64 bit code? So? It only matters that it can address the processor and make use of that ability. Dumb
I know there are more, but how many do you actually hear about before it pops up on your screen? I usually find out about security concerns on my OS X box when SW Update tells me, not by/. news.
I believe this to be the first "public" exploit of OS X, or any OS 9, in quite some time....
Not good say confucious.
Interesting, though...is the screensaver portion of the OS open source linux_bsd_mach_whatever or is it closed Apple source?
How to reach those numbers...

I happen to be privy to some Auto Sound information, and the numbers they have there are actually from the MTX competition systems. The way you make that much noise is 3 letter. RFL. MTX makes a subwoofer called the RFL that requires 1000W of power just to hit, and can handle 4000W of power peak.
The decibel race is just starting, with new competitors and new ways to make more Watts for the buck. Pretty neat stuff.
I believe Piles was used in a different way than most people had thought it would be. I believe you will see the "Piles" effect when using Expose and you will see what I mean. Expose perfectly matches the patent description of Piles, and that's why I draw that conclusion. You will probably never see a "Pile" of folders on the desktop. However, if you have multiple folder windows open, Expose works quite nicely.
Since the military has had many problems with their software when purchased or provided through Microsoft. I wish I was in closer contact to my cousin. He's 3rd string Secret Service for President Bush, and he's a computer nerd as well. He'd probably keep track of things if he was in a position where he could.
I remember when the DoD bought a bunch of G4s back when the commercial from Apple described the machines as "Supercomputers", and the Pentagon had declared them as such, so they couldn't be shipped outside the US for a while. This had all happened because they were running into the BSoD so often on the aircraft carriers and such. (Rumor has it a divide by zero error on NT caused one such craft to shut down completely.)
Well...this has obviously been in the works for a while, because I would hope the Services would have taken a look at the G5 if computer technology had been in their budget. But they don't even ship for 2 months and other things are already settled. Oh well.
I just think it is enormously dumb for the Services to purchase ANYTHING software wise. I think they'd have their enlisted computer nerds shipped off to a base and forced to program a perfectly solid OS for them, as well as accompanying software.

Sounds like the beginnings of the end times are in place. RFID will be everyone's worst nightmare. Here comes the mark of the beast.
Yeah, that's right. It's a little warm in here...isn't it?
You were once the mighty and powerful.
Now you are the wannabe.
All your base are belong to iTunes!

"Microsoft Drops Pants, Inserts Dildo in Butt."
Kinda takin it up the arse, aren't they?
Gee...thanks dick. Like an IT guy like myself could overlook that? Give me the benefit of the doubt at least.
Besides, what on earth does that have to do with the story? Fuck the Optical Backbone.
I bet he actually said something like:

Sweet idea
You can also Alt-F4 windows with deceptive adds in them. This eliminates stepping through the task manager.

That is a honker of a notebook.
Hooray Apple, your competitors have yet again blatently copied you.

No, stupid.
You CAN'T divide by zero.
Windows NT TRIED to.
And as with all things Windows, it CRASHED WHEN IT DISCOVERED THAT ZERO IS NOT DIVISIBLE!
Thus: Windows is an inferior Operating System that should be recycled into something more usefull....like children's books.
Way f'd up server. He is flooded, and this isn't even a really active story. Hehe. Oh well...love those little servers, don't we /.?

The entire process of patenting something.
