For you folks who want to go back to 5.1.3 but don't have the installer lying around roxio still has it on their server. Here is the direct URL to it.
I'm posting this because even though the link on the support page says you're downloading the 5.1.3 version it's really giving you the 5.1.4 crippleware.
If roxio pulls it can someone mirror it? I'd offer to but the other residents in my apartment complex might object to a slashdotting. Not to mention the network admin who is a friend of mine.
Even on current airliners (I've flown on many different types) sitting in a aisle seat (or middle seat on a widebody, the middle middle seat) you can still see out a window.
It's not so much having a window seat and seeing out it as much as it's to lessen the feeling of flying in a crate with no way to tell where the horizon is, clasturaphobia (spelling, the fear of being in a small box), etc.
I can see this also being a problem for people prone to motion sickness since they'll just be feeling the motion with no point of reference to tell them how much their banking, etc.
Plus, I like to see the ground coming up at me at a rate I expect when we're landing. Oh yeah and seeing the runway is a big plus!
True, but for me in my job I'd like very much to be able to do the moving of the disk image independent of the network so as not to clog it if it's at peak useage times.
It's just another one of those little Apple things that reminds you they really are trying to think of all they can to make it easier to admin/use.
Having a firewire port right this is damned slick.
I can see having a custom OS X server install image on a firewire drive, copy the image to the Xserve and away you go! No messy configuring or saturating the network with the file copy.
Oh and backing stuff up would be a snap too.
Got something you need to install on CD? Hook up a FW CD_ROM drive and have at it.
Good luck finding a coprorate/end-user contract that says the corporation has to do much of anything. That class of contract is only slightly less one-sided than an EULA, chuckle.
Yup which is why what RR is doing is not a "rights violation" but as you say later "a Bad Idea".
And Title 11, aka the uniform commercial code does apply nationwide.
The trouble is trying to define legally "not realistically" what an ISP provides. In other words as at applies to Title 11 what is an ISP's goods. To my knowledge this is something that has not met with too much success. Case in point, the DMCA.
My whole point is that/. has blown this out of proportion with it being YRO story.
Yeah, it sucks, but it's not the end of the world and it's not going to bring the internet to a screetching halt.
Don't get me wrong, things like this need to be fought time to time so that it does not become commonplace. But, not in such a manner as "MY RIGHTS ARE BEING TRAMPLED ON!"
It doesn't affect you, therefore it doesn't matter?
Nup, not saying that. If it was something that important to me I'd find out what sort of agreement/account I had to have with RR to make that behavior go away.
And personally if it were THAT important to me I'd be using something more reliable and purpose built for it rather than your basic end user cable service. I'm not going to leave something important to chance.
Show me where in a contract with an ISP it states that they're supposed to carry my data unaltered? Better yet, show me where in a RR contract it says that. Speakeasy probably has such a thing but they're not changing org headers.
If a network can be considered an organization (that brings up many side topics) then what RR is doing is in fact within the spirit of the RFC.
I'd like to know if they're doing this on their business acccounts though. One thing RoadRunner touts a lot is that when using one of their business accounts it becomes transparent that you're on RR. If they're doing this to their business accounts then I'd see more of a problem since that transparency is now gone.
Big deal if you can't have your cutsy wootsy litte Org header. It's hardly worth a YRO category.
And saying "But, I'm representing my business when posting!" is pointless, if you're running a business over a end user account get a business account.
If this is going on with a business account then scream and yell to RoadRunner and maybe even slashdot.
I understand unlimited. They're not limiting you, you're still able to download to your heart's content. You'll just have to pay more.
Think of it this way, TW isn't going to limit you, you are going to limit you or your pocketbook is.
Now I'm not unsympathetic, I think the cable providers were sketchy with the unlimited bit, unlimited what? Unlimited bandwidth? Unlimited connect time? Unlimited hours in front of my computer? It's all nebulous even if you read the contracts letter for letter.
Mine says unlimited access and that's it. I can interpret that several ways. Unlimited as in I can always be online, Unlimited access meaning no firewalls blocking me, etc.
I'm not opposed to this, it's annoying as hell when I'm at my girlfriends apartment on her cable modem (My aparts have T1's straight to UUNET) it will absolutely crawl, sniff some network traffic nearby and it's almost all P2P crap.
You want to use it pay for it, internet access isn't a guaranteed right the last time I checked the Bill of Rights. I might have a good connect and run servers but I sure as hell pay for it and I'm glad to do so. The network admins are cool and will actually LISTEN to you. If you're responsible they have no problem with you running a server. If it impacts the community they let you know and suggest shutting it off or working on another solution.
When I was running a Quake 3 server on the network and it got popular and started eating bandwidth they didn't tell me to shut it off, they suggested I pay an extra $10 a month and they would co-lo the box in their network room so it would not impact the community bandwidth. People like that require money to retain.
Actually, the History Channel on March 11th had a documentary on the World Trade center. In the ducumentary one of the people involved in the design of the towers stated that it was designed to withstand the impact of a 707 jet liner. Granted it's not a 747 but it was designed to withstand the impact. Sadly that guy was lost in the terrorist attacks.
If I recall correctly all tall buildings in NYC needs to be designed for that after a B-25 (I think) bomber collided with the Empire State building in the 40s.
I've had the fortune (misfortune) to deal with some of this first hand.
About 1.5 years ago I was working for iPlanet as a backline support person. The summer of 2000 we had a rash of Asian telecos running our e-mail server and crashing and burning.
So I got sent to Asia to try and figure out what was going on at our three largest telcos there, Unitel and Hanaro Telecom in Korea and Jiangsu Telecom (can't find their homepage at the moment) in China.
What I found in both cases was frightening. Pro-Serv had done a good job of implementing a mail system that would handle a normal user load just fine. But, in both cases the load was 5 times what was planned for. So the servers we're dying under the load.
After very little investigation it found out that several of the subscribers were spamming via their ISP. When I first pointed this out to the powers that be there I got a blank reply along the lines fo "So?".
As management and I delved into it the opinion that the ISP was forming was that these are customers, we can't just cut them off, they will leave and we will lose money.
I tried the normal counters like, "The abusers are bringing down the service for your normal subscribers. The normal subscribers are getting mad (some even started anti Unitel sites) and they're going to leave in droves if this keeps up. And then all you're going to be left with is a few subscribers who are costing you more in the long run. Bandwidth costs associated with the spamming, hardware upkeep for a few users, etc.
The sysadmins and techs got all this but management was so scared of losing a customer and that customers money that they would not dare do a thing about it.
I ended up leaving both sites having accomplished stabilizing the systems as much as I could but not solving the actual problem, getting the ISP to come up with and enforce some terms of service.
So to me what it comes down to is capitalism run amok, espically in Korea. Management is so blinded by "making it big" they fail to see the real disaster looming on the horizon.
Don't blame uncaring techs, blame the top level for driving this thing into the ground.
At least I can say I had a great time visiting those countries and taking in the other parts of their real culture. But, July in Seoul is miserable.
Well, to be fair Apple has killed of some companies or divisions of companies.
Setting the way back machine to the Pre-Jobs era Apple was actually licensing it's hardware to clone makers. Motorola was one and Power Computing was another.
When Jobs came in he killed the licensing and effectively killed Power Computing and the Motorola division selling the Mac clones.
The sad thing was that Power Computing was putting out a killer mac system, the main big advantage was it had 6 PCI slots where the Apples had only 3 or 2 or 1 depending on the model. The lack of PCI slots was a big gripe at the time of Mac Power Users. Now with USB and Firewire it's kinda moot.
I wish I had gotten one of those Power Computing Power Tower Pro's back then instead of a Performa 6400/200. Only one meg of un-upgradeable video ram in that thing and a 7" useless PCI slot. UNGH!
But, it makes a nice headless linux file server now:)
Jobs does get it, and he's going about it the best way he can with his marketshare. Preface, I've been a Apple user since the Apple II+ through the Mac SE and now to a Power Mac G4 and a PowerBookG4. I also use Linux and Solaris and windows when I have to.
What I see as Apples problem is not with Apple it's self, it's Microsoft. Rather obvious yes, but here's what I see.
My Dad is a executive my step-mom is a school principle. My dad never has had much computer expirence, he always had secretaries that did it for him. Now though you need a personal computer to get any work done in the workplace. Your secretary and read your e-mail and reply to it for you unless you're a CEO or otherwise.
As a result my dad has had a computer forced on him. Thanks to the Microsoft monopoly Windows was thrust upon him and he learned the bare minimum he needed to know to use the damn thing. It was painful for him (and me) to learn it.
At his age he has an ingraned way of thinking about things and how they work. It's hard to retrain him.
He sees a lot of the things I do with my Macs when I'm over there. And he asks me can his computer do that. I say yeah but you have to add this to the computer and buy this software or you could buy a Mac, you need to get rid of that Intel 133 machine anyways, why not get a Mac?
His response is always macs are different I don't want to have to relearn how to use a computer. So, he's stuck in Microsoft.
My step-mother is another story. She was used to windows and knew how to use Office well enough. When she came out of retirement to become a principle again she was in a Mac school.
She initially resisted like my dad and made the school get her a Windows box. Here though the Microsoft monopoly backfired. She had so many compatilibity issues with the Windows to mac office translation she sent back the Windows box and get a Mac.
It took her all of a week to learn it. Everytime she called me for help I'd say "You're making it too hard, you're thinking windows, with the Mac just do this like you would in any other mac program." I'd also tell her "Don't be scared to play aorund with it, there's nothing you can do to the Mac that can't be undone."
After a month she stopped calling and has never looked back. Hopefully she can convince my dad that there are other alternatives. If this continues Apple can grow beyond it's 4.5 marketshare.
Apple has a great story, they have a solution that caters to geeks (the cool factor, OS X being a BSD derivative) and they're doing well there. What's needed is for the masses to break out of the Microsoft mentality and realize learning to Mac isn't that hard of an ordeal. I'd like to see Linux get more penetration too, but not on my Dads desk, it's not there yet for him. OS X is, and when he learns OS X he'll be more apt to give Linux a try as well.
OS X can be a stepping stone for the masses to Linux. Apple is not a foe.
This is going to have be fought with advocacy. The more people who stand up and say "Macs are easy to learn.", the better Apple will do.
You're wrong. Apple gave you the CD for an upgrade (intended purpose). You have modified what was given you without Apples permission to use the media in a way hat was not intended. To do a full install from scratch.
Sure, we can be the slashdot crowd and say Apple deserves what they get for being so niave. But, that dosen't make what they are doing with the order wrong or unjustified.
Not meant to be flame bait. But, i don't think getting Linux in the schools is going to be the monopoly buster.
Apple has been giving schools deep discounts for years. And, Apple has done quite well in the edcuation market. However, none of that has made even a dent in the Microsoft market share.
If anything it's going to hurt Apple. And, that is for you to decide for yourself if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
You're missing something. AOL is designed for your Grandmother who has no idea how to use a computer. It would be a potential nightmare for AOL support to have to explain to your Grandmother how to go to dial up networking yadda yadda yadda.
So, they create their own adapters that they know how to manipulate and can make a really user friendly interface around them. Seems like a good idea to me.
Or if we want to be paranoid, maybe AOL thought about using Microsoft's built in dial up networking, but M$ told them to go to hell, we're not going to include your proprietary protocol in our networking, but we will include ours! Oh and we're not going to tell you how to use ours to build your user friendly interface and control around.
And AOL figures if your're smart enough to have another internet connection you're smart enough to figure out how to have AOL connect to it and leave your settings undisturbed. It's really not that hard.
I highly doubt AOL said "Hey in Windows you can only have 4 adapters! Let's make our software require 2 so if you have anything more than a modem and a NIC in your system you're screwed!"
Pure speculation but, I wonder if the price you pay for an Audio CD is going to go up too. I can see the RIAA blaming Napster, Aimster, and the rising cost of blank CD's as justification for raising prices.
Yeah I know, I'm paranoid.

The MTA code is not considered 3rd party as it was part of the collaborative effort between Sun and Netscape.
Something 3rd party would be the verity code in the webserver.
Apple uses sendmail running on Xserv's for their inbound and outbound relays.
They use NMS 4.15 for the message stores and for the MMPs. (Mail Multiplexors, or IMAP proxies)
They are also currently migrating to SunONE Messaging Server 5.2 for all the message stores.
Both the Netscape and SunONE Servers are running on Sun Hardware.
Or people who only have it set to run weekly or somesuch and might want to run it manually to get the update right away.
Sure, they could set their update to run more frequently but, GASP, some people don't want that.
Usually you also tie the session ID to an IP address so that the session ID is only valid if coming from that IP.
Or, at least that's how I implement stuff like this.

Okay fine, they're MAKING 38.2 billion but what isn't in your snippet is how much it cost them to make that money.
