Sounds a lot like a high-end Mac Pro (shipping for months)
The eight core Mac Pro was released exactly three weeks ago, Wed. April 4, not months ago. But more than on person put the pre-production 4 core chips in the old Mac Pro months ago.
Let's not forget that free speech unchecked led the continent to ruin in the 1930s/40s.
It was simply a streak of evil that ran through the Axis, and one that is still not fully resolved today. That streak was exploited by the DDR for example - freedom of speech was not something East Germans knew about, but murder, torture and discrimination were still common right up to 1989. You know, free speech is quite big in the USA, still murder, torture (at least in Gitmo etc.) and discrimination are also quite common. Come to think of it, free speech is also going away.
What you did actually does an "I'm Feeling Lucky" Google search for "Slashdot." What he did (ctrl-shift-enter) inserts the http:// and.org and fetches the site normally. (By the way, ctrl-enter appends.com and shift-enter appends.net.)
So what key-combo would one have to press when, say, you have "goatse" in the address bar?
Or when you want to go to The Times, instead of the one of "Beaver County"? - "timesonline" (workplace safe)
By the way, the USA was using YOUR intelligence! No, the USA was using any intelligence that "proved" their point, and ignored all other. They even used it when the source had already said it was wrong.
If so, wouldn't that be a violation of the Logan Act that all the conservatives claim (incorrectly) that Pelosi violated?
In fact, it's rather hard to imagine a scenario where the hostages get released minutes after Reagan takes office that doesn't entail a violation of the Logan Act.
So why is Marshall, Texas such a great venue for patent extortion? The city's webpages don't seem to have an answer, but it does seem to be a nice place.
One wonders if this boils down to a single judge, who might appreciate a free MacBook. The judge T. John Ward has a reputation for pushing through a speedy trial (which also means less time to find prior art), and to usually side with the patent holder. http://www.technologyreview.com/InfoTech/wtr_16280 ,300,p1.html
"Juries in East Texas, unlike those in Houston, Dallas or Austin, are much less likely to have a member with any technical training or education, which exacerbates the problem from the defense perspective, but makes East Texas federal courts an attractive venue for would-be plaintiffs, who know that the jury will, instead, gravitate toward softer or superficial issues that are difficult to predict." http://www.wsgr.com/news/PDFs/09202004_patentpirat es.pdf
And I blame it all on my using a ZX81's membrane keyboard when puberty hit. Instead of developing sleek, feminine fingertips I have hands that resemble welding gloves. The way to type on the ZX81 was to just wipe your finger gently over the key. Works great in FAST mode for feedback.
The "winners" have special compression modes for.wav files, etc.
The thing that I find the strangest is that modern compressors have also special modes for JPEG files.
Either they detect them quickly to completely avoid trying to compress them and achieve superior speed.
Or some compressor use special mode, where the software decompresses the JPEG data back to the DCT stage and then use some more modern and efficient algorithm to store the DCT data than the original Huffman code.
It's strange because although their suit of software included StuffIt, they completely failed to demonstrate it.
(Instead, apparently StuffIt went for the "avoid compression to gain speed" route) This could be because they used StuffIt 9.5, the JPEG compressor came in 10, recent is 11. All other compressors but WinZip (11.0 instead of 11.1, which came out last week) use the latest versions. Gee, I wonder how that happened.
Okay, hateboi, how many IPv6 addresses are in use, and how many of those are used by Macs? Hrmm? What, you spoke out of your lower orifice? Of course you are not impressed, you aren't as smart as you think you think.
Coming from someone that doesn't know what sarcasm or IPv6 is, I'll consider it a compliment. Gee, given my post was sarcastic, while you try to weasel out with IPv6, yeah, you obviously win.
THAT's your comeback? Wow. You'd have been better off saying nothing. Seriously. As opposed to his? Face it, you answered the wrong post.
It means that the designer specifically designed the device to not do something that is normally expected or wanted, or has been designed in such a way as to annoy the user constantly. In other words, they had to work harder to make sure the device did not work.
No full screen videos a constant annoyance, that took hard work to implement?
How does the availability (or not) of other Quicktime players that aren't defective by design negate the point that Apple's QuickTime Player is defective by design? Ohh, wait, it doesn't - tough luck. In the same way that you can replace Windows by something fully compatible that isn't defective by design - oops. Tough luck.
I believe the one he is referring to is called "Viruses". Tanscript follows [...]
Just what conclusion do you think Apple wants the public to draw from this? Well, they want pepole to draw to the conclusion that the hatebois can't tell the difference between "viruses" and "vulnerabilities". It worked.
However, it isn't a haha moment until the headline reads that someone found 25 Apple exploits and released a huge virus to exploit them.
I'm sure you meant a worm not a virus.
However, if there's ever more than 1 Mac for every 1 million* IP addresses then maybe a worm might surface.
I just hope the worm author does something creative with his captive audience. Perhaps some hilarious messagesm, "right click to continue", "dx9.dll missing, please reinstall" or how about changing all their bookmarks to point at http://www.mac-sucks.com/.
*made up number, real number is likely higher Well, there are only 4 294 967 296 possible IP addresses, including a number of broadcast, multicast and other non-valid ones. Thanks for proving what a smart person you are.
Apple's convenience is more important than your security. Well, Linux' security is more important than the convenience of its users. I wonder if all Linux users do bother to patch all the vulnerabilities.
Yes, it is the same. I think that a lot of Windows users just get tired of hearing whining about security from other OS users constantly, so it's their turn to gloat. Somebody should help them by patching one of the active worms to send out gloat mails.
By enticing a user to download and install an installer package with a maliciously-crafted file name, an attacker can trigger the vulnerability.
If you already got somebody to download and install your code, why bother hiding the bad code in the malformed name? Very subtle joke by the Apple techs.
It means that the designer specifically designed the device to not do something that is normally expected or wanted, or has been designed in such a way as to annoy the user constantly. In other words, they had to work harder to make sure the device did not work. Typical MS things that are defective by design are DRM, Clippy, and that new security thing in Vista that is so annoying.
Ah. So you mean like a media player that can't display full screen videos ?
So use one of the other Quicktime players. Ohh, wait, Windows programmers are too busy writing malware to write one - tough luck.
Because you'll get a bigger botnet if you write the hacks for windows. Same reason there's not much virus/malware/etc on the non-windows OS's. That's your answer to somebody who says that most botnets don't use any "hacks"?
Slashdot Mirror
The 250.000 comes from "over 250,000 users have signed up for the Folding@Home project". So about 150.000 haven't finnished their first work unit yet. That means they didn't have it running for approximately 8 hours to complete a WU (within the 2 days deadline) yet.

The President Elect "making policy" is a bit different than the Speaker of the House. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algiers_Accords
Either it was the Carter administration who got the hostages out, or it was Reagen that promissed to stop bugging Iran. Take your pick.
Hrrm, does selling Iran arms to finance the Contras count as leavig them alone?

Should be: It's not "it's", its spelling is "its".

So the first scheduled process kills -9 all others - makes scheduling and multi-tasking kinda pointless.
Balmer, throw over - the comfy chair!
