And by finally I assume you mean that Apple finally has succeeded in luring the coveted dimwit market to its products. Gee, the s"switcheur" troll would be the perfect answer to your post.
I remember during a visit to the former USSR, talking to a woman who spent 10 years in a Soviet labour camp. She was 16, working in a bakery that had sold out of bread. Another woman demanded a loaf of bread and she said "Go ask Stalin for your bread, 'cause he didn't send us any flour." That statement alone resulted in her imprisonment, torture and almost her death.
Now if she could have said that and remained anonymous, then she would have been ok.
In Stalinist Russia, the whole bakery would have been deported then.
At present, in order to block access to system services, users must either disconnect the network cable or fall back on the tried and tested BSD ipfw packet filter. This is still present, but by default is set to permeable - the only active rule lets everything through
As for the relevence of TCP RFCs, they're very relevant. What we're talking about is how to respond to a TCP SYN, which by it's very nature is a TCP operation. And I thought we were talking about "open/filtered" UDP ports.
By default DNS will fall back to TCP for requests if it receives no response via UDP. Yeah, but many people set their firewall to block TCP port 53 by default. Catch 53?
Given they were completely happy with only getting 70% of whatever Apple charged for the tracks, without them having to pay anything themselves - well, it just seems unfair to them that Apple actually makes money on the deal because they sell so many more tunes/videos than the media industry expected.
It would also be trivial to post it in formats compatible with the iPod.
What format that supports DRM do you propose? If you want DRM, I think Apple has the strings on that one. It's either iTunes or no DRM. That's hardly Apple's fault, the content providers insisted Apple create their own DRM format. And now they are pissed Apple was far more successful than they expected.
I use (3) because my home directory is on a different disk to my boot disk, and I did that on purpose so I could do nice clean installs. (2) works well too though.
But don't you have to then reinstall all of your apps? That's like Win98 logic.
Ummm... I'm running 2000 right now, on multiple monitors. They run at different resolutions just fine.
Not sure about the dialog issue, other than that I've never seen it. So do you enjoy all dialogs popping up split across the screens?
Is this sarcasm that went over everyone's head? It's always the first complaint about Linux systems. "I don't want to use a command line!" (I'm a long-time user and prefer the command line for many things,though) Ohh? Which settings on Linux do you change via a single (okay, two in this case) CLI commands instead of inside some config file and then some commands for good measure - with the instructions looking eerily like the directions he gave for the GUI case? Now isn'tthat ironic?
The Linux boxes aren't being cracked by automated worms. They're being hand cracked.
From the article you quoted;
"We see a lot of Linux machines used in phishing," said Alfred Huger, vice president for Symantec Security Response. "We see them as part of the command and control networks for botnets, but we rarely see them be the actual bots. Botnets are almost uniformly Windows-based." Which means that there aren't enough Linux machines to form a botnet, it says nothing about how they were cracked. It's actually more likely that the percentage of Linux machines with vulnerabilities is quite low, so at least finding candidates for the actual cracking is probably done by the botnets by automatically trying a Linux exploit (0-day or recently published) at random IP-addresses (or random web-servers running Apache) and reporting back the vulnerable machines - or automatically installing a root-kit and linking them into the command and control network.
More survived than died. IIRC, of the 100 or so people on board, only about 30 died. Almost all of the deaths were from jumping. When it caught fire, people panicked and jumped; the ground is what killed them. Almost everybody who rode the ship to the ground lived to tell their tale. It was a relatively slow and controlled crash, and the flames were all above the people and billowing upward. Try that with an jetliner.
Just compare it with the Sioux City crash, 111 of 296 people dead (slightly worse rate), footage of the plane bursting into flames - and people see it as prove that even a crashing plane can be pretty safe.
Vista / Longhorn was supposed to come out in late 2002, and Apple released Jaguar in time to catch that. And then they released Panther and then Tiger, and this guy complains that they didn't release Leopard earlier?
And before somebody complains about those being "point releases", that's pretty much what Longhorn was supposed to be.
Microsoft will fire out an intermediate release to Windows XP and push back Blackcomb, which was supposed to include full.NET plumbing, to 2003 or 2004.
So an intermediate release, coffer-filling release dubbed 'Longhorn' will fill the gap, and slip out late next year or early 2003.
No, the OS itself is fine. It's just that Apple wanted to get the OS exactly how they wanted it before letting the public could get their hands under the hood.
PS: Which Apple has done an wonderful job of with their main OS
Translation: They rushed it to market. Compared to Linux or to Vista?
They don't give a crap about geeks or gamers. And yet, here the SDK is, in February. So? Do you actually believe they'll release it for the geek points? No, Apple does it so geeks and others write apps for the million of iPhone users.
Yep, must be the network causing all that slowdown. IOW people should buy the Nokia instead of the iPhone because it has the faster 3G instead of EDGE, the fact that it is too slow to use the speed of 3G, and the iPhone actually works faster non-withstanding.

I know people love to see patterns where there are none - so does anybody else see the larger circle with the lake in the north-eastern segment?
No, this is a Mac - it makes it easy to run things that are supposed to be hard the way they are supposed to be, if you want to.
Good thing something like this could never happen in the US, say in Tuskegee.
The whole thing sounds more like Mac.Simpsons

Do you even know what a "home directory" is?

Why would he - this is a Mac, not Windows.However, I read this AM, in the papers, that a Koran (Quoran?) recently sold for over $2.3 MILLION.
I wonder if the '55 paper will fetch any price at Christies... Google for "Gutenberg Bible"
It'll still help.
