is that theres something wrong with society when society is breaking laws at such an extent that it requires an automated process to identify and punish those offenders. Yes, automated processes catch innocents, especially as some on this page have suggested if they deliberately make themselves look guilty when they arent (if they carried around a white powder in a bag, they would expect to get arrested by the police if its discovered - wheres the difference?). But then again, why should it be costly for the 'victim' in these cases to bring offenders to justice? Kazaa has well over several million files available for download, why should the RIAA/MPAA have to spend inordiant amounts of money just to defend their property?
This is all a personal opinion, but if slashdot isnt the place to voice it, then where is? Copyright Law exists, and it exists for a reason. You do not own 'Britney Spears - Toxic.mp3', and you do not have a right to give it to other people. If you wanted to have that right, make your own music, distribute that, but until then dont think you have any rights to other peoples intellectual property. Intellectual property laws exist for reasons, one of which is that it may be costly to initially develop, but cheap to manufacture.
Mod this as you will, I dont care. I know slashdot is heavily biased, and I can expect damnation. What I do care about is that I have had my say.
Until recently, the Apple site had a page on CoreImage (it has now been removed during arevamp of the Tiger pages) which had on it a list of 'Supported Graphics Cards', the Radeon9200 was not on it. It did include the innocuous phrase 'CoreImage will scale gracefully for lower end macs', but with the 9200 specifically missing from the supported graphics card list, Id be very surprised if CI worked at all.
Ive had the fortune to try the Tiger beta DVD release on my iBook, and it definately uses QuartzExtreme as the graphics engine, where as others I know with supported cards have CoreImage working.
I do agree that you buy what you want now, but think about it. PC switcher buys new Mac mini, installs Tiger on it (or it comes preinstalled). PC switcher sees friends year old PowerMac or Powerbook, and especially sees the fancy graphical capabilities. PC switcher wonders why new hardware is worse than year old hardware.
Come on, Apple could have at least put the entry Nvidia card into the Mac mini, that would have at least made it supported in full by CI. As for killer features, I especially like Spotlight.
Unfortunately CoreGraphics isnt supported on a HUGE percentage of Apples systems, including a lot of 'current' hardware. I purchased my iBook at the start of December, it was released in October, and guess what? The graphics card isnt supported by CoreImage, so it will be using QE when Tiger is released, fantastic. Same with the Mac Mini, same graphics card. Why is Apple releasing current hardware that they know wont be supported fully under Tiger? Its really making me think twice about spending the money on the Tiger update.
Basically the entire miniseries takes place in less than a day. The first 4 episodes of the actual series takes us to the end of a full week in timeline and it picks up right after the miniseries. Cant really say anything else without giving away stuff.
SkyTV basically bailed SciFi Channel out and financed half of the cost of the series on the understanding that they got to show it first. Which is a pleasant change for us in the UK.
It could have broken off during the impact of another meteorite that DID cause a crater when it struck, thereby bleeding off enough energy to land on the martian surface without digging in. Bare in mind that this is pure speculation:)
For the business that requires one of these, $5k is quite affordable. If the business cant afford $5k, Id be quite happy to say they should reevaluate their need for one.
I managed to get onto the Apple sites new pages for the Shuffle and the Mac Mini around 7pm ish, I PDFed them and put them on my poor poor adsl webserver for others to get at, since the site was so slow (##mwsf-chat on freenode). My poor webserver took 67,000 hits in just over 6 hours last night for those files and the Mac Mini images.
Ive found that all Macs ive tried plugging PS/2 devices into using adapters jsut plain dont accept them. Take my ibook for example, plugged a MS keyboard into it (no jokes, they make damn good keyboards regardless of their software), the Caps Lock LED lit up, but nothing worked, no keys produced anything, the same issue with a PS/2 mouse I tried, it didnt work.
I havent come across something that wont run in Cygwin, but I have come across lots of things Wine wont run either at all or fully featured. Your point is what exactly?
My origional scenario was just a live world example that I know of, but Dreamweaver templates scores victories for small to medium companies, charitable organisations and other non profit groups who dont want to spend out on a professional fulltime webdesigner, or webspace that includes mysql/php, when they can get the whole job done in a copy of Dreamweaver, and upload it as static webpages, usually to ISP provided webspace. Theres also a whole realm of sites out there that have no purpose being database backed, there seems to be a common overuse of database driven sites these days when static pages would be best, with a lot of 'new generation' webdesigners fresh out of school storing everything under the sun in a database, when theres really no need to:)
Yes but the point here is that Dreamweaver presents the ENTIRE webpage to you, but only allows you to edit the non template part. So their menus, site headers and footers, static cross page content is all there, and they can see how their changes relate to the entire page. Thats whats being discussed here, and what you are talking about is basically no different than using Dreamweaver and DW templates. Thats whats missing from the opensource arena at the moment, and its slightly different from the functionality a CMS brings to the table.
This is true, but the problem with this (for the market i demonstrated earlier) is that people want WYSIWYG editing. They want to treat the web page as a word document, they dont want to type stuff into a white box on a screen and press submit every 5 seconds to see what their changes look like. This is where Dreamweaver/Contribute come in.
Content management systems arent the best idea in all situations. If you are producing a largely static site, but adding content daily, with a large number of users, producing static HTML is better than dragging it out of a database, because it produces a smaller cpu hit on the server. An example I usually give of such a site is local government Intranets, which in the UK are usually highly static data, IE the page doesnt change much, but more pages are added daily. This is fantastic for Dreamweaver, or its non geek friendly cousin Contribute, and their templating functionality, because it allows you to create the entire page once, keeping the cpu hits to a generating client, so when you do want to change the template, you have the client regenerating the site, rather than every hit dragging something out of a database or 'wasting' cpu time on a php include();.
Because 'Linux' exploits are kernel exploits, because Linux is a kernel, as people are so fond of pointing out, which actually has very little to do with remote entities other than the well looked at TCP/IP stack. Windows on the other hand is an Operating System, which includes things other than the kernel, including system daemons/services, user interface code, web browsers, and a whole host of other things.
Long story short, while it may be shoddy, MS Windows is a LOT bigger than Linux, and thus theres more to exploit. If you look at something like Redhat, which is a distribution, you have more of a comparison, and you will find remote exploits.
So Im not right, then? Without giving any reason why or information to the opposite, you jsut label me as wrong. My post is 100% correct. There ARE BIOS's that dont hand off addressing to the OS, and generally these BIOS's are the same ones that have the 137GB limit, and yes I understand that there are OSes that exaggerate this problem, but I was pointing out to the grandparent that the problem does exist in BIOS's alone, regardless of the fact he may not have seen it. Go back to your hole please, you dont belong out here.
No, there are quite a few motherboard chipsets that only show at max the first 130GB of the disk, ignoring the rest. This is the maximum they can address. Some BIOSes are happy to hand addressing off to the OS, some arent, so your point of getting the kernel in the lower boundry is a little bit pointless when you want to dual boot. Dont assume that just because you havent come across it it must not exist, because it does and its a pain.
A couple of viruses were known to install versions of VNC on infected computers, and its quite possible that a trojan installed it under command. To show it in the list is a 'better safe than sorry' action.
You can get these Honours for 'services to ', and lets face it, a couple of these games are all time classics, Populous certainly defined a new genre of gaming. Oh, and a OBE doesnt make you a Knight, which is what you need for a Sir title.
Uhm, no. The blurb says its an alternative to the bloated and slow MS Office, whereas Openoffice.org is both of those. Openoffice.org standard is slow, requires X to run, and looks horrible, whereas Neooffice, the OSX aqua port, is horrendously slow, and I have suffered complete freezes of the application from time to time, while its doing something behind the scenes.
Expensive maybe, slow? I dont find Word or Excel to be slow on my iBook (1.2ghz, 12" 512mb ram). I also dont find it to be slow on the B&W G3 350mhz I bought off of ebay also with 512mb ram. Its certainly as quick as Appleworks. Bloated? Maybe, but the bloat doesnt get in the way of the things I *do* use, so why complain about something you dont use now, but you may use lateron?

That sounds logical, all I know is that they cannot refuse the time off if its for an Interview, and they cannot fire you for it either.
