Mail.app allows you to "bounce" an email. I have found bouncing all my "Junk" every few days has all but eliminated spam. It's really quite a nice feature and I wish more mail clients supported it.
It's like windows -- but it doesn't step on your toes.
To quote a confrence I recently saw "In most of the computer world, we stand on eachothers toes; in OS X we can stand on the shoulders of giants."
Btw, my other box is a linux box. I have a Next box downstairs, and I've used windows a total of perhaps 200 hours in my life.
The you only see the "flash" on a very rare occasion to be honest. The only flash I see regularly is dock magnification, which is actually *very* usefull. Other than that I enabled larger icons (96x96?) because I tend to like bigger things on my screen (for eyesight reasons).
That sidebar looks just like the dock, only uglier and even bigger (I didn't think that was possible). I also notice it only contains MS applications... I sincerely hope that's because of this particular setup.
Did anyone else notice over 20% of the screen space was taken up by "navigational help" (eg these are the folders you might want to go to, then again you might not) in almost all of those screenshots? How does that help anyone by confusing the interface to such extremes?
I like the new preview pane, a little big for my tastes, but it's there (albeit 7 years to get right after the introduction in windows 98). I am hoping it's not hardcoded which directories you can use it in, that would be a serious shame.
I really wonder why they don't just license the look and feel of finder already, I can already tell their explorer is going to be very cluttered (then again that might be partially because of their insistance on a really pecular file heirachy for user directories..).
I don't know what specific vunerability of wu_ftp your refering to, but I personally think sendmail and bind have both benifited from the OSS model.
OSS doesn't mean there won't be any vunerabilities, it means it will be easier to spot them when people go looking. It also means decreased time to patch. (and many other benifits)
No he's laughing at them because they chose a wintel laptop for stupid reasons and are paying for it.
I tend to giggle and point out "I've never had that problem on my mac." when I get asked windows questions more often than not anymore, because if I tried to help everyone I'd never get anything done. I swear that os is built on cards.
You have to remember the transmeta chip emulates *everything* so startup would be emulating with 100% cache misses, after a min or two you would drop those misses considerably and it would be much faster.
I would readily believe the transmeta chip takes significantly longer to start an application than the intell chip.

The 'code morphing' technology also uses an astonishing amount of ram, up to 64mb in some cases, so linux users who need all that ram for gnome should steer clear of this chip

You probably look the files up by a cryptographically signed key that is impossible to duplicate.
You would have a centralized "checkin" server and files would be distributed based upon key from there, cached every time someone accesses them.
When you acquired a new file you would check the crypto key against the checkin server and get a "valid/invalid" response.
The only really hard part of such a system is coming up with an efficent search algorithm that doesn't chew up your network while at the same time getting a decent number of cache hits.
I would recomend sending a professinaly writen *snail mail* about this bill. I have always found I get personal letters when I do so.
Make sure you play the "partyline" and "supporting my views" somewhere in your letter. It also doesn't hurt to explain how copyright works (my old congresscriter actually didn't really have a firm grasp if I am to judge by his first reply to a mailing) and why it is important to protect the public domain or abolish copyright.
Partline arguments: R=increased goverment rights given at the expense of the citizens inherent right to copy in an effort to protect a buisness model. D=increased corperate control given at the expense of the consumer in an effort to save a failing buisness model.
It also helps not to use the words "failing buisness model" if you don't have the qualifications to make that statment. Just be honest and clear (at most 4 paragraphs, a strong thesis and a clear closing)
Because the cost of a dvd encoder for every MacOS sold would raise the price considerably.
It's prety black and white, and apple is clearly in the white. Do a little more reading on this topic and you will realize the posts on slashdot under "Apple enforces the DMCA" are prety much all incorrect.
It's highly parallel yes, I have trouble believing it's all that advanced though. My brain has horrible lookup problems and often doesn't notice things that it should (the single stream of conscious is very limiting). I give it 50 years before we can easily outpower an average brain without spending several thousand dollars.

If they don't like the extra 3%, then the ought to pay using a debit card.
If they like federal fraud protection and some remote resemblence of accountability from the financial institution they should avoid debit cards like the plauge.
There is always two sides to any issue. I use my credit card like a debit card, simply because I don't like being liable for a several thousand dollar piece of plastic.

there are no forced updates in Windows XP
Yes there is. The UELA doesn't say "If you consent" it says "Microsoft has the right."
It may not be happening today, but how do you know it won't happen tomorow? Do you trust Microsoft to be a "good citizen"?
