But he's not crazy in the "looney tunes" sense of the word, more of a metaphysical fashion.
No, seriously, hear me out.
We all know that chaos is the natural state of the universe. Humans have been trying to reign it in and control it and manipulate it for a long while now, and in some ways we've done extremely well. On the other hand, we still can't reliably get a pizza to our house in 30 minutes or less. That's why they had to drop that promise. But this has nothing to do with pizza. It was just a lure to get you to keep reading.
So here's Microsoft, trying to stem chaos in business by providing applications and operating systems that, for all intents and purposes, have created their own share of chaos through many means (switching systems, learning DOS, then windows, then patches and updates and incompatibilities and forced upgrades etc.). They are trying to stem chaos in their own organization in relation to releasing secure software out-of-the-box - and they are trying to stem the chaos of the encroaching open source model that is threatening the false and overbuilt sense of security and complacency that Windows has instilled upon the people of this computing world.
It is a battle they cannot win. Chaos consumes all. It just may take some time.
The open source model, however, embraces and uses the chaotic nature of the world and its computing inhabitants for furthering, extending, and assimilating itself slowly at first but exponentially. The group has no formal work structure or centralized location. They are relentless and dedicated. They operate at all hours and as a group and sometimes individually NEVER SLEEP. They are among the most intelligent minds on the planet, barring slashdot, obviously. And they all understand one thing: you cannot control the waves of chaos. But you can sure as hell catch one and ride that sucker to the beach, by cracky.
Bill's a great philanthropist, but to be honest, with that much money, he'd HAVE to be. Otherwise the masses would tear him limb from limb. Philanthropy deducted, the man still has more money than God after playing the stock market over the course of millennia with infinite knowledge of what was to come. Again, this has nothing to do with the topic at hand. It was another lure. Got you!
I guess what I'm trying to say is... Microsoft is the Roman Empire of software. Their kingdom is riddled with porn and virii. Untouched by platypi. And ultimately will fall to a similar fate. It is simply nature's way. They will crumble because they are trying to put the world in a box and make it run around a track. That is not how people really are. And while you can make it work for a while, it always fails. And Bill is insane for thinking otherwise.
How about BMG suing Sun-Comm for producing a DRM product that could so easily be circumvented by either a single keystroke or an ALREADY AVAILABLE system setting?
Sounds to me more like BMG got screwed on whatever money they paid for the licensing of this "technology," and Sun-Comm's using the DMCA to make some guy who basically pointed out something BLATANTLY OBVIOUS into a scapegoat.
I mean, if I told people all they had to do to run a red light was press the gas pedal instead of the brake, would I suddenly be liable for all the traffic offenses?
The only way MS could be cool enough for me to use their products would be if Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates, and the rest of the execs to go into cryogenic freezing, to be thawed out and tortured when our society is sufficiently advanced enough to devise appropriatelyl painful methods of death.
Frank Zappa once said that ANYTHING can be music as long as you can score it out and reproduce it. To use his example, even someone just swallowing orange juice can be music if you score it out and reproduce it faithfully.
I tend to agree. If Justin Timberlake can call what he does music (as opposed to the prepackaged sound-based diversionary tactic it REALLY is) and the Beatles can call somebody repeating "Number Nine" over and over music, then, really, music just becomes another arbitrary term that is defined mostly by someone's personal taste rather than an actual discernable entity.
actually Apple has their own custom developed system controller chip, using technology developed by many companties including AMD called HyperTransport that speeds communications between various components on the logic board. may not be way up there yet, but I see this technology as being able to make things like this not only possible but probable in the near future.
Considering that Apple's already announced a 64-bit 3GHz processor as being 1 year away, that would put it about 6 years ahead of your schedule. and so far these operate on an only 2x bus...
This is really an awful way to think about a consumer base that doesn't understand some basic tenants of computing. I've known plenty of Windows users that think 3.5" floppies are hard disks because the casing is, well, hard. To expect them to catalog file extensions in their heads as well is ridiculous. Obviously you are a more savvy user as you have Linux based machines and a firewall set up.
Not everyone has the time/expertise/desire to learn that much about computing, and that's OK. If everyone were a geek, you'd have no one to bitch about, would you?
I think my favorite part in the article is when the author suggests that MS should use their massive cash pile to mail out a CD of updates to every single customer that wants one. Considering how many CDs AOL sends out (and yes, I know they are bleeding money), wouldn't it make sense to partner with AOL, who is already producing discs, and make them multi-session, so that MS could use the already pervasive CD distribution systems in place to get updates out? I can't believe no one thought to suggest this before. And if MS was REALLY SERIOUS about making security their #1 priority, it would be a pittance to part with and give their customers a much-needed sense that MS actually does care about their customers. The question is, do they really care more about the customer or the bottom line?

heh, that's a nice hacked up system. But I don't think the stability issues are due to Jag. I've got a beige G3 desktop modded up with:
- 500MHz G4 - Tempo Trio card, which includes:
2 Firewire
2 USB 2.0
2 ATA 133 busses - 1 120 GB Drive, 1 80 GB Drive for 200GB internal storage - Radeon 7000 - Pioneer DVR-104 DVD Burner - 10/100 NIC - 768 MB RAM - overclocked system bus to 83MHz
I don't run anything off the stock ATA bus. The system is sweet and stable.
Its run for months and months without issue at all. Never had any trouble installing the OS. You might want to strip yours down to a less tricked out config to see if the issues persist. I suspect RAM or possibly one of the PCI cards.
Quartz Extreme should NOT be enabled under any circumstances. Only slows down the processor and the rest of the devices on the PCI bus.
If you put that computer in the dumpster I'll kick your ass. I recycle these things for schools and local art centers! You can put a G4 and better HD in a beige G3 for under $150 and it makes a fine internet machine for someone who is too poor to afford a computer (let alone one that will run Mac OS X!) I wouldn't recommend that config for graphic design, but for a carefree web surfer, its a cheap way to get into Macs and Mac OS X.
Old Mac hardware is ALWAYS useful! If you want to get rid of a beige G3, let me know, I'll make an offer!!!!
Buying an eMac makes much more sense. there are a few things you can buy for a beige G3 that will make it better. I've hot-rodded 4 or 5 beige g3s. Here's a quick list:
Radeon 7000 PCI card, $100-125. Dual display 32MB card. Pretty much the only game in town as far as video card upgrades go.
G4 Processor upgrade - I've seen a G4 366 ZIF chip as cheap as $89. Sure, its not the $500 1GHz G4 upgrade, but it gives u Altivec and twice the cache.
Max 'er out w/ RAM - about $75-100 for 3 256MB PC100 DIMMs.
For storage, HDs are pretty cheap. Spend about $50 for 40 or 60 GB of storage.
I've seen a Combo drive that can be made to work with OS Xfor $50.
So we're now sitting at around $399 worth of upgrades, not including USB/FireWire (another $50), and if you want a faster processor (and you are going to want a G4 for the Altivec) you're looking at an additional $200.
So right there, for a decent speed (500 MHz) G4, plus USB and FireWire in the above mentioned price, its $649 worth of upgrades, and you STILL have slow ass 10T ethernet.
For $250 more than that you can get a Combo drive eMac w/ more HD space, faster networking, AirPort extreme capabilities, more USB ports, new (optical) mouse and keyboard, a later generation G4 processor running almost twice as fast, a better graphics card with AGP as opposed to PCI (think Quartz Extreme support for Quark 6!), and a really nice built in 17" monitor, etc etc etc.
Buy the eMac. Seriously. Not to mention the software trickery involved in getting all those upgrades together and working in OS X (editing the CD-RW driver support files, G4 cache enabler, tricking it into installing the DVD player, etc.)
Plus the beige can't boot from FireWire, and if you want decent HD performance you'll need an ATA card as well (another $50.) See how it all adds up in favor of just buying a new eMac? Its faster, easier, will give you WAY less headaches, and will perform better for what you want.
Now, if you were just a hobbyist looking for a cool project to trick out a beige, I'm the guy you wanna talk to:) But for your purposes, a new eMac will be almost as cheap for far better performance.
How did the LCD "die?" If it just up and died with no outside event causing it to, Apple WOULD cover it. Something tells me there were other extraneous circumstances that you're not telling us.
I will say that I've seen very funny, very entertaining fake profiles. Like Christopher Walken. And he's got like 400 friends. That profile probably serves to connect people who otherwise never would be...
and that's good AND bad. For the purposes of Friendster, for it to be what its creators and a lot of its users WANT it to be, these fakesters really do fsck up the system. There's no real chain of communication. You can't go to your friend's friend and say "What an ass!" or "Damn s/he is awesome!" cuz there's no real logical connection if it is thru one of these fake profiles.
I think the fakesters are abusing the system and watering down the experience and intent. I also think that they are obfuscating a very neat idea of building a semi-accountable community of people that can really trace thru who they know all these myriad individuals around the world.
The Fakesters may add flair, but ultimately they dilute any value it has.
Now, do I support deleting these Fakesters? No - but there must be a way to cap the account in some way, i.e. make it impossible for someone to add friends with or to these fake accounts. This would solve the problem of bad relationship data while at the same time not putting valid profiles at risk.
But y'know, in the long run, its their site, their bandwidth, their service - they can delete who they want, and if your actual profile gets deleted by accident, then be pissed at the fakesters who created the situation in the first place.
i've seen some fakesters that were genuinely amusing and entertaining. on a large scale however, they really do fsck up the system.
i'm not saying we should be able to count on the absolute validity of the 'relationships' represented on the site, but SOME kind reality makes it a whole lot more useful and fun... and they're kind of hurting their friends who are really trying to use the site by diluting and obfuscating the branching nature of the database.
i like friendster. and i would hate to see it turn into a worthless connection of inside jokes and half-baked platitudes and simple-minded social consciences.
and if some real profiles are being deleted by mistake, then be pissed at the fakesters who made it happen, not the people trying to provide a meaningful experience that lives up to how it is being advertised...
As if we didn't have enough divisionary labels in the world that propogate the illusion that we are not all one, now we need instruction on how to deal with other members of the human race that are more or less socially active than we are? Puh-lease.
Perhaps the "innies" the author is writing to/about are not pure introverts, but those that feel put upon, segregated, or otherwise "different" and "abnormal" because of their perception that being an "outtie" is how people are supposed to be. Well, to quote Denis Leary, "Shut the Fuck up; NEXT!"
Just accept people for who they are, while at the same time realizing that other people may not accept you for who you are. And that's OK cuz that's their choice. Deal with it however comes naturally to you.
yes I shall - I shall feed him copious amounts of nitroglycerin, napalm, and dynamite, then bind and gag him, stapling letters of apology to apple all over his body, and shove him into the main coporate headquarters of microsoft wearing nothing but a molitov cocktail with a short fuse.
Well if we are to go by what has been predicted to happen by now, I'd say these figures are WAY off.
I mean, if history was correct in its predictions, we'd ALREADY have a completely automated society, driving flying cars and synthesizing our food, etc etc.
Besides, its not just having the technology AVAILABLE that will put these changes into motion, its having the technology AFFORDABLE and RELIABLE. That could take many, many years after the basic groundwork for these technologies is laid down.
Besides, do you really WANT to pull up to the drive thru window with an incorrect order and deal with some snotty young tin man who sneers at you and says "We're robots, sir, we don't MAKE mistakes. If you want your burger without onions you're going to have to pay for a new one."?
i'd love to see these conversations not take little dirt back roads about an extra 'd' in somebody's spelling. could have been an honest mistake, either by not being terribly familiar with english, or perhaps an extra keystroke that went unnoticed, or perhaps because ITS NOT IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE POINT GETS ACROSS.
Christ I hate computer-chair editors. Get a freaking English degree and THEN come talk to me. Even though I'll STILL tell you to shove off because I know trained APES with English degrees that can spell better with their piss than you could open-book.
