apple scrapped all their OS 9 and previous stuff, took Mach and FreeBSD and put a revised Mac GUI on top and came up with something extremely easy-to-use, secure (as in nothing turned on by default, with settings are all in one place), fast, stable, etc.
.. the cnet article by mundie was part of a pair of pro/con articles. Mundie wrote the pro, Bruce Schneir the con.
I find it just facicinating that CNet had to go with Microsoft in order to find someone willing to write an article for the "pro" half of the article pair.
The articles I've seen on this state that Netscape is seeking unspecified damages from MS. Idea for a/. poll:
How much should Microsoft pay Netscape in damages?
- $0-$99,999
- $100,000-$999,999
- $1,000,000-$9,999,999
- Bill Gates's Estate
- CowboyNeal's Life Savings

the Globally Unique Identifier in every installation of Windows Media Player allows websites to universally track users, and Microsoft does not consider it a security problem.
It's not a security problem to have a number assigned to you, it's a privacy problem.
they may not have been thinking anthrax, but possibly some other biowarfare agent, or something along those lines?
Even if it were anthrax, the people who probably wrote that legislation are politicians that arent educated in physics/biochem/etc, hence are not aware of the difficulty anthrax has in traveling through water. Just look at all the feel-good "security" measures out there (on both sides of 9/11), like airports asking you to turn on the back-light of a cell phone to show it isnt a bomb.
at the show, billy gates did a keynote involving something rather cool for MS. (hard to imagine something like that coming form MS, but oh well) they came up with a flat touchscreen monitor that detaches from it's base and can be carried around the house like a tablet, and a wireless link allows you to keep using your computer.
yeah, but only if you're still using versions from many years ago. According to your link, versions 6.5.x and 7.0.3 (while still not perfect) effectively wipe the data from the file, but leave behind a filename. Every other version was ineffective.
Contractors get paid, and they get to decide how they are to fulfill their requirements
IQT is being paid by the CIA for data processing. They chose to hire Northern Lights to supply a search engine to help handle the data given to them. i rest my case, rebuttals shall be ignored.
and btw. yes, i too, have worked both as a civilian and contractor for the government. as a matter of fact, i'm still a govie contractor.
The CIA tells In-Q-Tel what they want, and IQT delivers it. How they do that (for the most part), doesnt matter to the CIA, as long as it's done within the given requirements. In this case, Northern Lights is being hired by IQT to handle some of the jobs related to IQT's CIA contract to handle data processing. Therefore, it is IQT hiring on Northern Lights, not the CIA.
i remember seeing a 20/20 years ago interviewing Gates giving a tour of his newest mansion. Hugh Downs (the show's now retired co-anchor) did some math while the story was showing and calculated the ratio between the house's value and Gates's wealth, and compared that with the average income for someone his age. Gates paid a very small $400 for that home of his.
to me though, a contractor is a private entity [hired | created] for a job and funded by the sponsoring organization. Here, the private entity is In-Q-Tel, sponsor is the CIA.
Outlook 2002 (Office XP) plugin support is different. Yeah, it works. The icons seem corrupt in outlook too. You need to enable an option to auto decrypt mail. Then when you open an email PGP tries to decrypt it automatically. (the reason you must do this is that the decrypt button on the toolbar doesn't work *shrug*). Sending encrypted mail on Outlook 2002 works fine too.
I can second that. I use that version using Office XP on Win2K. IIRC - if you receive an encrypted mail w/o auto-decrypt on, you can open the mail in it's own window and click the decrypt button from there.

ok, now i know what you're talking about. thanks

you havent used OSX, have you?

And on top of all that - a command line.

what about apple and the max os x? seems to me they restarted almost from scratch and came out quite high up on the positive end of things.

That only works for analog cable. Digital cable users are forced to use a set top box for each tv.
not according to the RFE asking for it.
i needed an idea for the cowboyneal option. his life savings were the first thing i thought of. we could use his piggybank ;)

Oil wells are a possibility though

all told, looks like quite an interesting (and somewhat original) product. originality being something rare for MS.
PGP wipe isn't very good

you walked yourself into your own trap:

very first line of the article states it's one of their contractors -- In-Q-Tel
