The where is the remote control? I know you can buy stuff aftermarket, but any serious media center would require a remote control like 99.99% of the rest of the serious market.
Take it for what it is, Apple is trying to take a stab back into the heart of the PC market with cheap and reliable machine for the masses. Is it a mystery to Mac fans why large institutions started dumping them in the 90's?
It's about the money, plain and simple. I bought my Powerbook because it was relatively inexpensive and extremely high quality notebook when you consider all the other machines with Linux/UNIX on them will cost you an arm and a leg one way or another.
A Dynamic DNS client so you can host spacerouter.kicks-ass.net out of your secret bunker. It's stackable, so that you can puts your Space Access Point and Space Cable Modem on top of it. AOL Parental Filters and Zone Alarm integration, to keep out terrorists and keep troops safe from porn. Web Based Administration, just point your command and control laptop to http://192.168.1.1 WEP is used as the super strong security protocol protecting data too and from your computers. In a few months Linux hackers will find a way to flash the memory and load their own firmware so they can use it as an iTunes server.
I think it would be great if someone just bought it privately and wrote something akin to, "I'm a huge dumbass" on his forehead. That'll teach people to auction themselves on eBay. Idiot Inside is pretty clever.
Anyone else got good ideas? I'm totally serious about this. I would put in at least $20. How would we get our money together? Hopefully it would stay low enough to not make it worth 30 days of looking like a fool.
Maybe the guys at T-Shirt Hell should buy it... Then he'd really be stuck with something he wouldn't want.
Think about it for small or large auto racing teams. If you could peel off the paint and change graphics for sponsors it would be less involved than stripping conventional paint. It also wouldn't add any weight like an overspray.
Remember that skit... that said something like... "Sure it'll be hard to get used to, but the massive amounts of amphetamines will help!"
But hey, if we did work on a 10 hour metric day... I'd have to tell any jackass that wanted me to work an 8 hour day to take a hike... But I guess I'd never want to work for Electronic Arts anyway.
How about Apple and Motorola produce a phone that fully synchronizes with iSync for all the productivity items like contacts and calendars? The only folks that make such devices are Nokia and Siemens. I want everything down to the photo on the Address Book entry... plus decent enough e-mail for getting warning messages from the servers.
Would have been a cool choice. Did anyone see "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers"? He did an amazing job. He could bring that amazing creepy/whimsical kind of attitude to Wonka.
One address I have that has been out since maybe 96 or 97 or before... at the latest 98 is upgraded.(Right before MS bought it, and it still ran on FreeBSD. It continued to do so for about a year after MS bought it I think.) The other account that I have from 98 or 99 isn't.
This upgrade started over a month ago. When one person notices it and bothers to submit... big deal... When MS says it's finished. That's the real reason to post some news. This upgrade was a reaction to changing market conditions and the deployment of such extra storage would be an interesting benchmark.
I have a friend who had reason to believe his wife was cheating on him. He owned her car, put a GPS on it, and tracked it to the house of a friend where she stayed over night. She said she was going to be at a seminar... and later confessed.
It was something useful, and heartbreaking at the same time, and it was all perfectly legal since he owned the car.
It's scary but this is what relationships face now... You can google your mate and find their high school photo or arrest record. I don't like it... but I admit using tools like this out of curiousity... Anyone else have stories?
Well, she is an idiot. But I guess my whole point is she is unwilling to take direction and add the simple skill of knowing not to open files from people she does not know... and is not expecting. I mean it's like telling a child not to take candy from strangers. I'm asking for common sense and the ability to take instruction, not expertise.
Also, the burglary comment was about the virus writers... I don't think there is a person out there that would think releasing code that cripples networks with DOS attacks and violates the security of end users is a good thing. RTFC for what it's worth.
I have one client that no matter how many times we tell their receptionist not to open files from people she doesn't know... She'll come into you office and say, "Did you sen me this?" after opening an e-mail with a worm in an attachment.
Every other user understands that when a new virus slips through the system, or an old one with a new face... you don't open suspicious mail.
Blame comes at every level, admins, users, but I think that the virus coders themselves should face more severe punishment. Would you release a virus into the wild knowing that potentially you could be hunted down and either:
Go to prison for twenty years. Be saddled with millions in debt from civil lawsuits?
Before anyone freaks out, realize I'm floating a theory. The people that do this boost one sector of the economy and destroy another. Just like thieves and their activities sell alarm systems indirectly. Except these folks are stealing millions of dollars in productivity. Does that make them white collar criminals worthy of a slap on the wrist and six months in "Club Fed"? Or does it make them the equivalent of a burglar stealing 4,000 TVs at $250 a pop and 2000 years in prison? To those that think that sounds unreasonable consider this: In most states a third burglary conviction at any level results in a three strikes life without parol sentence.
Isn't it inherently insecure since the public can access it? What are they going to do... register MAC addresses of adapters? What are they going to do when those are spoofed? I think that wide ranging public access to the internet via 802.11 anything is a bad idea. Is anyone else with me on this? What's the motivation for doing this to an entire town?
Because I was buying a new truck for my business. It explains that highway mileage would vary between 17 and 21 mpg. I think if you drive in a non-aggressive manner you'll get better than average every time.
My old SUV got 23 and 24 mpg routinely on long halls and an average of 16 in town. If you drive a manual transmission, on average you'll get better mileage do to less drivetrain power loss. I think the hybrids have been inflated, a conspiracy?, well maybe... I think that people at the EPA, like anyone in the business world like to please their customers and push certain products.
If insurance agents, the EPA, and ultra environmentalists really got their way we would all drive very functional sedans. Very boring, very functional sedans, because it would lower the cost of doing business, and it takes the risk out of dealing with variety. I know the EPA should be impartial, but since when has a government agency really been untouchable?
In his show bullshit on the Showtime Network, the topic was the overblown emphasis on safety and terrorism in our world today. It was something to the effect of:
"There will always violence and suffering in the world, and Michael Moore will always be there to make a buck off of it."
I liked Michael Moore's work in "Roger and Me" and "Bowling for Columbine" made some good points at times. I just do not agree with him on most of his views and I think his personal political conduct has been reprehensible lately. For one, he canceled an interview with Fox News at the last minute. The station is certainly conservative, but shouldn't that mean he should be big enough to stand up and take his case to the other side? Of course he couldn't use any slick editing and he wouldn't be the only one talking, so that might hurt him.
Go buy it... I bought it, and it's the best hard rock album I've heard in years. As for the copy protection, it sucks. I haven't shared my files with anyone, but I have them on my laptop and desktop.
Copy protection schemes for the general public have always been easy to get around. They're like extra insurance, they are implemented because they will effectively keep a certain percentage of the general public from copying the CD. They're "scared" so they just buy it.
Also of course they're going to put it on a CD that's going to top the charts. That's what makes the last paragraph's explanation make sense. This album is going to go gold in RIAA standards in less two weeks. It'll be multi-platinum before the end of the year, this is exactly the CD they want to use a scare tactic for copying on.

I thought the headline said "Peeable Auto Paint"
Boy that would sting...

I know this is a big deal in the OS X community and this is the first Windows app I heard of that uses it? Is Rendevous:
Not one of those Apple motivated technologies, just something they adopted early...
AND/OR
Are there other apps for other platforms using Rendevous as a prominant protocol.
How about Apple and Motorola produce a phone that fully synchronizes with iSync for all the productivity items like contacts and calendars?

They only show non-stop commercials for the cereal Trix.
