Keep in mind, though, that according to rumor, Microsoft has cancelled all development of IE/Mac, and the development team has been transferred to other projects. Their last effort will be Carbonizing it for Mac OS X, but at the moment the Carbon version is slower and far less stable than the regular version running in Mac OS X's Classic environment.
Several years ago a bunch of us were playing Tetris on a Nintendo or something, and I commented that the background music was from the opera Carmen, by Bizet. They were disturbed.
IS there anyway to extrapolate a Unique ID from the Keyboard like a mac address for an ethernet card? If so use that Your Key Board can be the Key. Much better than having to worry about weather or not you can type approximately with the same rythm
...until you buy a new keyboard, or you've got several computers (each with a different keyboard).
Many cable modem ISPs use your MAC address to filter IP addresses, so your service won't work if you swap NICs or computers. The problem with this is, some of them will refuse to set up your service unless you have a Windows box (or an iMac, but no other Mac model), and once they set it up you can't just swap computers. If you're smart, you'll just call them and give them your new MAC address, lying to them and claiming it's in the same computer - but if you ever need a technician to come out and fix something, you're screwed.

I can brace myself in preparation for impact, shield my head from falling objects, etc. I'm talking about takeoff and landing, not falling out of the sky from 30,000 feet.
If he could safely land a plane in those conditions, I don't think I'd be firing him. Still, it's usually a good idea to see how much fuel you've got; that's why they put the little indicator on the panel.
Not necessarily if they had their eyes closed as well, deliberately trying to block things out. During most of the flight that's perfectly OK, but during takeoff and landing you should really be paying attention to what's going on. From the time the plane begins accelerating on the runway until about halfway to cruising altitude, I always remain alert, just for general safety.
Umm, how much would it cost you to run your own fiber line from, say, New York to LA? Sure, it can be done, and if you did it, you could act as your own backbone, sort of. But running your own line is prohibitively expensive.
Umm, not sure I know what you're talking about. If you want high-speed access to most of the rest of the Internet, you have to be connected to it somewhere, and they're probably going to charge you a hefty sum of cash. No, you don't have to connect to the rest of the Internet if you don't want to, and you don't have to connect at high speed. You can run your own fiber lines to your friends around the world, if you can afford to do so (hint: you can't).
cmon, distros should not come with packages enabled by default that are notoriously exploitable...
...but they do. How many Linux distros come with sunrpc and rsh/rlogin disabled? I'm not aware of a Linux distro that installs SSH by default (I know OpenBSD does, but that's not Linux).
Vaguely possible that your Windows b0xes have better power supplies than your Linux b0xes, there was a power fluctuation, and the capacitors kept the Windows b0xes up. Not likely in your case, but I've had it happen several times with a Mac staying up and a PC going down.
Nah, they probably patched your kernel and had just reinstalled lilo.
Perhaps a privately-available list of submitted articles, only some of which will be chosen for posting, and periodically grant access to post a submitted story to randomly selected users with extremely high karma ratings?
(no, mine's only up to 17, if you were wondering.)
If you run any services at all, you should know exactly what daemons are responsible for them, and keep those daemons updated periodically. If you don't need the daemons, you should turn them off. This applies to any OS - UNIX, Windows, Mac OS.
Sure, there are a lot of UNIX exploits published frequently. Just because the Windows exploits aren't published so frequently or the details made readily available, don't delude yourself into thinking that Windows has fewer exploits.
Why didn't someone make an edited version...and post a link to both the edited and non-edited versions, or a summary or something. There is just too much legal information thrown in to make it very readable.
Thanks for volunteering! Glad to see you're being an active participant, and not whining about other people not going out of their way to make your life easier.
Check User Friendly about two weeks ago; there was a comic that mentioned LGOP. Read the comments posted; I think somebody mentioned a Linux port.
LGOP was the first adventure game I'd ever seen, on my aunt's original 128k (or maybe 256k, but not 512k) Macintosh. I was pretty young at the time, so I don't remember it too well, but I do remember being impressed.
The real problem isn't IE. The problem is that Microsoft will declare things like DirectX and NGWS to be "middleware" products, not part of the operating system, and (along with Internet Explorer, Media Player, etc.) require them to be bundled with every Microsoft product. No Microsoft product will work at all if Microsoft's middleware isn't installed. Microsoft will probably port their middleware to other operating systems after awhile, according to market trends.
I feel a great disturbance in the Force. Microsoft has been behaving themselves for the last couple of years. That time is over. They will again reveal their true nature, but this time there's nothing to stop them. The DOJ can't do anything, because they've just completed a case, and although Microsoft lost, nothing in the Final Judgement will prevent them from being completely evil (I've been studying it since Wednesday afternoon).
On the bright side, there is some competition: Mozilla, StarOffice, and Apple's Cocoa (if they ever get around to releasing Win32 and Linux versions).
One other thing: the X-Box will also be owned by Microsoft-apps, and the stripped-down version of Win2k that it uses will be licensed from Windows, Inc. The OS will of course be available to other OEMs for the same price, but it will be completely useless to anyone else, because Microsoft-apps will still completely control all the rest of the software (and hardware). Licensing a stripped-down version of Win2k so you can make a game console that competes with the X-Box but isn't compatible with the X-Box would be really stupid. Linux would make a better platform anyway.;-)

Hmm, I seem to have drifted off topic. Sorry.
