So if there's no "superadmin" under Windows, could you tell me how to prevent administrators from redefining ACL from files they can't read/write/execute ? Because if you can't, there's no bloody difference with Linux and it's ID 0 without SeLinux.
Remove the right "Take ownership of files or other objects" from the administrator group. And yes, you can take away the ability to change the access rights while you're there too.
I suggest you assign them to a trusted user account first, or you're going to have locked yourself out.
Also, I suggest you learn how to use the security system before you comment on it, because what I described is Admin 101.
Sure did. People uncertain about iPad-vs-Courier decide to put that on the back burner, and forget exactly what made them put it there in the first place..
People that stupid were already on line for the iPad. That is, unless a shiny ball bounced by.
1. Breach of a EULA isn't illegal, but it means that you lose _all_ rights to the software involved, including making _any_ copies that run _anywhere_. It's not the breach of the EULA that is your problem, it is the consequent copyright infringement. If Apple's EULA said "you have to pay us $10,000 for any copy that you install on a Dell computer", and you installed MacOS X on a Dell, you would most likely be able to argue that you don't have to pay $10,000 because you didn't agree to the EULA, but you would have to face the full consequences of your copyright infringement.
I don't buy that. I paid for software in a software store and I'm not making copies for anyone else. As far as I'm concerned, it's a sale. When you have me sign the EULA before the sale, then I'll agree with you.
Data General vs. Digidyne is quoted again and again and again but it doesn't apply as long as you don't have hardware that can run MacOS X _and nothing else
That's the problem with rulings like this. It didn't specifically say that, what it did say was The court concluded that the tying arrangement was illegal per se, because petitioner's RDOS operating system was sufficiently unique and desirable to an appreciable number of buyers to enable petitioner to force those consumers to buy its tied product, the NOVA central processing unit.
I see OSX as being sufficiently unique and desirable to an appreciable number of buyers and being tied to Apple hardware when it does not have to be is an illegal arrangement.
Good point, they do seem to make an exception when it comes to consumer only products.
Home/consumer not really their core though, and I don't see them suddenly deciding to step on the OEMs.
Courier was a business-centric tablet, I never thought MS would actually bring it to market under their own brand. Instead they would use the prototype inspire Dell, HP and others to do something similar.
I know it is related to support. Jobs is afraid of people having OSX issues and people complaining about OSX. This would go against the belief that OSX is perfect and never crashes or has problems. Simply put in a disclaimer: If you run OSX on non Apple hardware or in a VM you are on your own for support. Or is that against the law?
Breaking a EULA isn't illegal. There was a supreme court ruling in 1985 that dealt with installing software on unsupported hardware, the ruling was that you can't tie software to hardware.
If you can go out and buy OSX in a store, you can install it on your microwave oven if you really want to.
Of course, I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice. (It's obviously a template for a microwave oven OSX installation guide that I'm working on)
Up 21% in the past 5 years? They're not hurting, but they're not in huge growth anymore. Nope, MS is now a stable company at an affordable share price.
Granted, Apple and Google are up record amounts, but I expect we'll see a correction for Apple at some point. Google is hard to predict.
To be fair, he didn't outright say H.264 was an open standard. He just lumped it in and said it was super awesome and gives 10+ hours of battery life and unlimited rice pudding.
not happen, happened. Lots of ISP's worldwide, not US only, want you to have a business connection just for daring to establish a VPN connection over it. Usually it ends up being somewhere between 10 and 40$ extra a month depending on country/currency/etc to do so.
ISP: VPN's are for work only, and you have to pay $100/mo for a business plan. Response, I was connecting to school for educational purposes and the computer lab requires a VPN.
You shouldn't be chatting during actual coding unless it's to resolve an issue, and that's what phones are for. The big desk or open office is just to save money.
Keep telling yourself that. I'm betting you think nothing improves productivity more than constant interruptions by co-workers on the phone, talking, typing, and other various tasks that you can hear in cubicleland.
You put one person on top one on the bottom and I really shouldn't suggest something this crazy, some HR nut would think I'm being serious and actually implement it.
Slashdot Mirror
Time to test their backup plans.
They do have a backup... right?
It should be multicast Internet broadcast, but I'm betting it's not.
Huhuh anyone who buys *anything* from Apple must be dumb. Me make slashdot funnay joke.
Thanks for proving a point.
Yes, I'll take fries with that, oh, sorry, you're not at work yet.

There may be something to be said for simple & dumb.
It's called Apple.
That's not HDCP compliant.
A full year?
Ok, at that point, you get to break his legs.
On a slightly more serious note, Negrin should have sued for sexual harassment. The end result would have been much more entertaining for him.
Adobe, write a jailbreak application that installs Flash.
Then, when they're sued by Apple, the DOJ gets involved.
I miss the old "Things you can't do with a MultiModem" radio commercials. For some reason they're still stuck in my head.

So they announce the end of the project when the iPad hasn't been out a full month yet. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep going for a year?
Sorry, I think you're all tilting at windmills. Apple should worry about the project that Google has planned, not Microsoft.
Microsoft doesn't sell hardware unless it drives OEM software sales. Google has no problems taking over Apple's market.
Microsoft doesn't want Apple to fail. Microsoft wants Apple and Google to keep busy so they can keep selling to Dell, HP and other OEMs.
Pure, unadulterated vaporware whose only purpose was to get some people disinterested in the iPad. And it appears to have worked.
So, my choices went from iPad vs Courier to iPad vs nothing else on the market, and this helped Microsoft in some way.
So, on the iPlatform, I can have all the standards compliant web I want, as long as it's running Safari.
To be fair, he didn't outright say H.264 was an open standard. He just lumped it in and said it was super awesome and gives 10+ hours of battery life and unlimited rice pudding.
So, we'll get a full version of Opera for the iPhone any day now?
(Not Opera Mini, mini is a hybrid browser)

I also noticed the warrant was expressly marked to not be served at night, yet they obviously arrived after 8pm.
Ignoring the other parts of the case, a night raid on a journalist isn't the best PR move for Apple or the DA.

2 words?
Bunk-Desks.

How about we require outsourced employees hired by US firms to be subject to US minimum wage and labor laws?
Good point, but if you host your own mail server it's much harder for someone to gain access.
