I don't think I've ever actually known anyone to do the classic accidental rm -Rf / as root.
I didn't do that, but I do remember one night at about 3am, remotely ssh'd into a box across town, I su'd up to root, was working on some backups, one was running way too long, I did a 'jobs', saw my first job in the background was never gunna finish, so I quickly did a:
One of the new features is that Mail.app supports Exchange servers - but I have a feeling this is just imap support and won't handle meeting invites, etc.
So, I'm stuck using Entourage. Does anyone know if Spotlight will be indexing Entourage emails, etc? I sure hope so! My corporation has ignorantly banned Google Desktop search on the windows machines, so I no longer have a way of finding emails I need in a snap. Entourage + Spotlight puts me back in the game on that front.
Lots of people are new to Apple products because of the iPod. Having seen the iPod and been impressed by it, they are now interested in buying Apple computers, but the entry level price point is a little high.
Exactly.
I bought an iPod. I was impressed even with the box it came in, the packaging, the wrappers the cords were kept in, etc. Blew my mind. These people know how to design stuff!
4 months later, I took the plunge and bought an eMac (loaded up with RAM). Haven't touched my windows machines at home since then - 'cept to play a few games.
4 months after that, I convinced my employer to get me a Dual 2GHz G5 with a 20" cinema display.
My boss saw what it could do and how it played well in the windows network - so about 1 month later, there was another Dual G5 w/ 20" cinema display in the office (good thing he didn't get the 30" display, or else I would have been pissed off.. heh).
Oh, and a couple weeks ago Santa brought my daughter a pink iPod mini. This is the same daughter that has self-taught herself the whole iLife suite, and her and her friends don't leave the eMac alone when they're having sleepovers, etc. They make radio shows with GarageBand, convert to mp3, then drop them on CDs to show their friends. They make movies, edit them, and make really cool DVDs. She just turned 11, and I haven't had to show her anything. (Her Windows machine sits relatively unused in her room now)... I'm now eyeing the 20" iMac, but am waiting for Tiger, iLife '05, and a DVD9 superdrive before I take the plunge...
My cube-neighbor here at work just picked up his Honda Accord.. He's doing some city, some highway, and he's getting about 55mpg.
But, with this kinda car - depending on HOW you drive it - your gas mileage will change dramatically. There's more of an art. My buddy started out only getting about 49mpg, but he said after a while of getting used to driving and monitoring the charge-gauges, etc, he's found that changing his driving habits a bit have gotten him better gas mileage - by far!
One concrete example: this guy's wife was driving his car, and got horrible gas mileage. The reason?.. She'd accelerate, and when coming to a stop sign or whatever, she'd throw in the clutch and put it in neutral and coast to it. This is definitely NOT what you want to do to charge up them batteries... If you drive this way, the car will end up with no battery left, and you'll be spending more gas just charging the battery!
Maybe the dealers need to give training classes.
And, of course, don't drive the thing like a racecar. It's not. I drive my Z06 normal (most of the time), and get between 20 and 25 mpg. There's times, though, that I feel a bit 'spunky', and get about 6mpg. Heh
I don't care about all this stuff.. I just want a real audio deck that you can plug your ipod into. (Sorta like inserting a cartridge, just slam the ipod into the device and have it 'dock' with the stereo)..

I know this probably won't happen for many of you, but I swear this to be the truth..
I sent my wife up to Best Buy when they were having their 10% off thing this weekend. I already saw on the coupon it said mp3 players 10% off (except Ipods). I told her to take it anyways, but then she lost it, ah well - so she did take the double-your-best-buy-reward-zone coupon.
She picked up the 40G ipod, a armband case or whatever, and the extended service plan.
At the register, she gave them her coupon, and the girl working the register said "Do you have your 10% off coupon as well?", and my wife said she didn't, so the girl went to a couple other registers to find one!!! She let it go through, too.
And, my wife doesn't know what happened after that, but she started talking, walked away, and found another 10% off coupon.
So, everything we bought only cost about $520 after tax. Ahhh.. And I was going to be content getting my 800,000 reward zone points.:-)
No matter what, they'll need to ensure the quality is leaps and bounds better than current CDs - or else no way in hell people will switch.
SACD or whatever 5.1 format you like recorded on a DVD should definitely be the next thing. I can't wait until new automobiles are sold with a THX-certified 5.1 speaker system installed at the factory.. Ahhh
It also found that those same subjects had better memory and reaction times (conventional cellular networks have the same effect)!
So, cell phone users have better memory and reaction times?
I would argue this has absolutely nothing to do with the phone itself, rather the fact that people WITHOUT cellphones are, well, either very old, very young, or a bit 'slower' than your normal person.
Man, I would NEVER consider anything BUT a ram-based player.. I have one of the older models of these (128M), and the thing fits on a keychain and feels weightless..
Anything that plays off CDs, well, is bigger than a CD, and that's too big for me.
Now, if the RIAA would share this database, I could finally have the dream product I've been wishing for: Something to point at my library of 60k mp3s (all ripped from my own collection of 9k CDs), and bashed on MD5 hash, fix my damn filenames and ID3 tags!!!
I helped this lady out who had a 100% opt-in mailing list, but some people weren't getting their mailings... We came to find out the emails were being flagged as spam, so, I set up a dummy email account for her than took every inbound message, sent it through spamassassin (with verbose reports, etc) - and then sent the email back to her.
Now she can see if there's a problem with the headers, the content of the email, etc - so she tunes the email to get the lowest spamassassin score. (You know, the last major version of spamassassin took off points if you put your email client header as being Mozilla! Hah.. That one is gone now)..
This lady definitely isn't a spammer tho, just someone with a small mailing list of 100% opted-in people.

Damn, time to jump in the car and drive 20 miles to the data center.
There's a lot of things besides rm that are dangerous when you're root.
Amazon has a $35 rebate on Tiger, which brings the price down to $94.99.
If you're a student/educator, you can also take advantage of Apple's educational pricing - $69 w/ free shipping.

This, the week after a similar weakness* is shown on 24?
Yes, and the spooky part about this: Remember how 24 started this season? Train derailment? Car on the tracks?
I have a feeling Juan Manuel Alvarez was after some device in Glendale, CA this morning.
(Okay, I'm joking - but what was weird --- when I heard about the train derailment - the first thing I thought about was a terrorist plot!! Uhoh)

The reason why GDS doesn't work with Moz/FF is because the cache is stored encrypted!
GSD works fine with IE because the cache is not encrypted - hence that's why it's a simple target (and safe target!)
I'd rather have my web cache encrypted and non-searchable, thank you. If I need to find a web site or something, I'll use the REGULAR google.
Search for files or folders named: *.* Containing text: password How is this any different?
Well, Windows search would take about 35 minutes to return results. (Get to watch the search dog, or paperclip, tho!)
GDS - about a tenth of a second.
People suck.
Oh, it would be wicked cool if the iPod would display the album art of any songs it's playing - with the song name superimposed over the top. Ahh
Imagine what this capability would do for the interface in general...
Yum. I'd buy.
Sorry, that was a Civic Hybrid, not an Accord (which I don't believe has a hybrid model)
This guy must be an idiot.

Now THAT is the ultimate car audio solution. Ahh

"Windy" refer(s/ed) to its politicians.

Same technique CDDB uses, just with mp3.
A-ha! That explains King Diamond!!!
Anyone ever listen to that dude? Back in the late 80s? I think he had a vocal 'range' of over 8 octaves..
It was either this device, or some type of testicle clamp..
Why are you reading this article? Don't you know there's a power outage? Geeze...
So, let me see if I have this right - you think that files off a pay-for-music download site are more likely to be infected vs. files on Kazaa?
