(FileVault uses an encoding scheme so thorough, Apple says, that a password-guessing computer would need 149 trillion years to break it. Just enough time for Apple to reach Mac OS X 11.)
I think he meant just enough time for Microsoft to release Longhorn...

Wireless Hacks

Call me pedantic, but that's two incorrect uses of the word "hacked". The normal operation of a wireless equipped laptop connecting to a base station can hardly be described as bypassing security. And the term for bypassing security is "cracked", not "hacked". Hacking is building things, cracking is breaking them.:-)
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see the parent article mentioning population growth at all, merely human potential. I hope we have more potential in us than just the ability to breed. : )
Making the iPod sound this crappy was suicide considering what 99.9% of people use it for-- listening to their favorite music. Consumers who want an iPod are forced -- FORCED I tell you -- to slap down more money for products without the features they really need. Apple, drop the style, pay attention to the technology and quality. And put in a second mouse button already, dammit.
Or, that's what Slashdot _would_ have said if the iPod test results were bad. : )
Various projects I work with use bug trackers for feature requests, too, which seems pretty misguided.
Internally, we track tasks with a multi-column OmniOutliner file and a design document per project. One person is responsible for maintaining them both for each project and filters the requests.
This is something OS X had ever since it was called NeXTStep. Services rock. My favorite one in the olden days was "Define in Webster", _so_ useful when you were writing term papers. There was a cool one called TclServices that would let you select any bit of text and execute it in a Tcl interpreter (useful if you are writing in Tcl...) Every app has the potential to offer Services.
In fact, I remember the feeling that, dialing up to the university's network over 19.2 modem, that the tools of the NeXTSTEP environment (including Services) were a lever to move the internet world through that little terminal window.
Maybe that's what Tim Berners-Lee was thinking when he wrote WorldWideWeb.app originally on that platform. : )
Anyway, I'm behind the curve with the cool services these days. Any favorites to recommend?
I'm curious, can you talk more about the problems you've seen with recent Dell hardware? I'm trying to decide if I should adjust my opinion that buying Dell means a more stable box and tested box than buying something from the small computer shop down the street. (My experience with the small computer shops have been mixed, to say the least...)
I'm not the original poster and I don't have proof other than my memory, but at the time I was working writing WebObjects applications for other clients and Dell was one of the sites we would point to. Check out the funky WebObject URLs when you surf the Apple store, they were on Dell.com first.
This is back when NeXT was selling OpenStep for NT, the "YellowBox" technology that provided Objective C, the base AppKit classes, Enterprise Object Foundation (OO-DB stuff), and a windowing system that worked rootless. It was damn sweet and a damn shame they let that wither after the Apple purchase/takeover. Ah well.
Rumor had it that Microsoft threw dozens of free programmers to work for months to get the Dell store converted over, while the original WebObjects team was around half a dozen guys.
Slashdot Mirror
Good point. The 2nd and 3rd movie appear to be complete departures from the first. They should start over. ; )
That would be nice, then NVDA would go up again. : )
Link for that article? Sounds fascinating.

No Photoshop there, dude. I'm sure the used The Gimp.
Have you heard about their revolution in manufacturing? It's not just for show...

What does Linux being _capable_ of running of every box have to do with business practices that lock out competition?
G4 500MHz is an upgrade? And you only have PCI video? What system did you buy?
Where do you find out the market share for Linux distributions?
We shout over the cubicle walls.
But seriously.

Sounds cool. Which tools do you use for remote administration?
Oh, Services.

Ken Lay never harmed you or me by receiving a great deal of money.
I guess you don't live in Houston. That economy was totally screwed post-Enron.

I got one of the cards early on, never could get it to work, wasn't a good sign...
Wow, can you imagine a Beowulf cluster of these 8-bit overlords??
"Only half the profits"? That's a huge percentage.
Admittedly it does matter how they calculate profit (I'd guess minimally ( sale price - (cost-of-goods + cost of employee time per shipment) ).
But seriously, how would these do for putting together a low cost OpenMosix cluster?
Not being cynical here, but it's not just a matter of food, there's also real estate.
You say that like it's a bad thing...
