iPhoto comes with new Macs. It has never come with OSX. We have three macs here at home, and this has always been the case.
Back on topic, though, I'm another unimpressed Apple user as far as the iPhone SDK is concerned. I really wanted to pick up an iPhone last summer, but I grabbed a cheap Sony w580i instead because I wanted to wait and see what the SDK would look like. I can happily run my own Java programs (including Opera, GMail, GMaps and XTrainer [which has access to the built-in pedometer!]). I'm an AT&T customer; I would expect nothing less from the iPhone.
Oh, and my Sony w580i has removable media and batteries. I can upgrade and maintain it without sending it back to Sony or buying a new one. I love Apple's products, but the iPhone is in the same pile with Apple TV, as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps some Android-based device will be my next phone; I'll have to wait and see.
The only time GPLONLY is used is when submitting kernel crashes. Linus (and other developers) doesn't want to get backtraces for code that cannot be debugged, because it's in a Windows-only blob. You can still use ndiswrapper, just like you can use the Nvidia drivers -- the only caveat being that you cannot send a kernel hacker a dump.
:-) Soooo true. My '03 Golf TDI has saved a LOT of fuel by saying the night at the dealer for its infamous electrical "issues". I still love it though.
Ruth Valentine, who is six months pregnant, said she has called more than 50 doctors and still can't find a local physician to deliver her baby in April. Instead, she's going to see an obstetrician in St. George, Utah, next week.
You can find anecdotal accounts in every system. Have you ever been to the emergency room in an LA hospital? Bring a book, it'll take hours for the free-market-run Kaiser hospital to attend to you.
Many homes have their own wells, septic systems, and have to pay for electric/phone/gas extensions to their homes if they decide to live in areas that do not have such services. If you want competition for broadband then move to the city. My grandmother's house in rural Idaho (on a farm) has frequent power outages, and her modem can't go above 28k. She can't get cable or DSL. On the other hand, her nearest neighbor is a few miles away, and she owns a lot of land.
That's not entirely true... It's definitely true for television-only habits, but the PeopleMeter extends beyond that.
Neilson (and Arbitron) are moving into new markets. Markets that Tivo, digital cable, and satellite receivers cannot tap into without significant infrastructure changes. Additionally, they will (supposedly) be able to gauge how many viewers are actually at the set, and not in the kitchen making a sandwich (assuming that surveyors carry their mobile receivers around with them).
The real fun will be in figuring out how the receivers decode the identification of a media stream...
Their new technology (referenced in the article as "PeopleMeter") allows them to passively monitor all the audible marks that you hear during the day. They listen for encoded signals in the audible streams of radio stations, television stations, retail outlets and (now) video games. This lets them count how many eyes (or ears, as it were) are on a specific media stream at a given time which, in turn, sets the "demand" for the advertising market. World of Warcraft will be going up against Howard Stern and Boston Legal.
I'll leave it at that; but I'm sure the hackers in us all are VERY curious as to how this encoding works... no?:->
I'm not advocating that health care is elastic; every Economics 101 book uses it as the poster child for inelasticity... However, technology does increase the supply of health care. Unfortunately (for economists), more advanced technology seems to increase the price and demand even more than the additional supply.
In my experience, people who attempt to use the free market to justify the US health care system have to choose their definitions and proofs very carefully. They will not talk about other socialized systems that they like (firemen, police forces, roads, military, potable water, etc.), and they rely on anecdotal statements to "prove" that socialized medicine doesn't work in other countries (nevermind the horror stories right here).
That doesn't work. Backwards-compatible means that the 1.6 JRE will still run Java bytecode compiled under old platforms (back to the original Java 1.0).
Yep, I've been using luks under Linux for ages. It works transparently, and is portable from system to system. I don't think that the article submitter has ever used OSX or Linux; both have nice, mature encrypted block systems.
Hell, I used PGPdisk back in the '90s, and it was "all that".
The software will ask the OS for its hash, and the OS will ask the BIOS for its hash, and the BIOS will ask the TPM chip for its hash. All of these signed hashes will get sent to the remote website. The remote website will check all the hashes and decide whether to provide the software with a decryption key.
They will be revoking software ALL the time then. Any software that relies on this system will also stop functioning after so many days (also don't forget about company firewalls with only proxy-access, which would trigger a MIM alert for the remote website). I don't think consumers will put up with the fallout that will be ultimately caused by buggy software that has been signed and revoked by the same folks.
And congressmen are also consumers. The first time they can't open an Excel document because it wasn't signed.. well, you can guess what will happen on the political front.
It's doomed to fail; only the NSA and other anal information agencies will use it fully.
Right, but what are the odds on all of the software that is signed with those public keys being bullet-proof? It's so complicated, that (maybe) they could get it right after four or five generations. There are also attack vectors in all of the trusted computing peripherals, most notably the screen.
I highly suspect that it'll be a waste of the content producers' time; and that it will be great fun for hackers. DeCSSv2.

Yeah, I'm sure that's the bug they introduced.....
At least the PSA's on the lifts are entertaining, even if all you end up doing is recreating music videos while panning the 3 figures in the box.
Oh, it's been done. I'm not so sure about the 'awesome' part though.
Didn't you read Dr. Seuss as a kid? :-)

The end-game of this line of reasoning leads to eugenics.

What lifestyle choice did my 2-year-old make to have asthma?
While we're on the subject of Commodore 64 goodness, what about Psi 5 Trading Company? I LOVED that one.
Effectively, that's what they've done. They've stolen code.
Indeed; it has the best actors, by far -- and a very interesting storyline that eerily tracks the current "war on terror" theme.
Hell, I used PGPdisk back in the '90s, and it was "all that".
Amen. I'd use it in that case as well.
