i watch ally mcbeal and i have never once gotten the urge to starve myself so I can be skinny. if this is the true reason why women in fiji were becoming anorexic in droves, than perhaps they need better parenting or psychologists in fiji.
While I am not one to like america (after living in the us for 22 years and moving to europe i can finally see USA how the rest of the world sees it), I will defend them here. You can't blame "America" rising to power (news flash... america may have power, but not as much as americans think) for the outbreak of anorexia in fiji!
is that not exactly what I said? There are a group of people known as Finlandsvensk. They are native to finland, however they speak swedish as thier main language instead of finnish, however thier accent can not be classified as sounding like swedish, hence the "Finnish/swedish" accent. Perhaps it would have been more descriptive to say a "Finlandsvensk" accent, but did you even know what a finlandsvensk was?
Up intil 7.5 i believe MacOS was known as System. They changed the name to MacOS. Now they have changed the name again to Mac OS X. Now i think it is a bit confusing thet steve says the X means 10, so when you say it aloud you are using Mac OS Ten Ten point Two, but oh well. I still refer to it as X (the letter) because i rarely speak it, and type it most of the time anyway.
But anyway, as the above poster says, they simply changed the name of MacOS (was known as System) to Mac OS X
this was true when the pwerpc was the new kid on the mac block, but it ha been many years since this was the norm. It is very hard to find any software released since 1997 that has been compiled for 68k

try explaining that to a court. the law does not care if the program passively finds connections (or rather connections find it) but the act of war driving is the active component and the court is going to say "the only purpose of wardriving is to find networks to hack into"
there is a difference between wardriving and pinging. pinging serves non-hacking purposes, wardriving does not.
And to answer your question, I have not wardriven but i would not anyway because i do not wish to have access to anybody else's networks without thier permission, don't want to get arrested for informing them thier networks are open, and i have better things to do with my time (such as posting these stupid arguments on slashdot) than drive around with a laptop trying to find open networks!

while wardriving seems like a passive activity, he is actually running an application that alerts him that he has found a network. this makes it active, not passive. if it was simply a passive process, he would be sitting in one spot with his laptop, not ACTIVELY looking for a network to gain access to
almost correct. he used a machine that helps him detect open windows spewing documents out

the point is that he knew he was not authorized to access it. if you open the door to someone else's house and it is unlocked does that mean he can go in, just to see if the door is secure, unless there is a sign saying "no trespassing"?

I took the $5000 figure to mean that the original wireless network equipment cost them $5000 and since they had to take it down because of the intrusion, it was $5000 down the drain. now that is a bullshit claim, but it wouldn't surprise me if that is exactly what that figure represents.

apple does not use the monicker TiBook. They call it the PowerBook G4. it is the users that call it the TiBook.
if you are satisfied with your computer then the ads are not targeted to you. the people apple is trying to get are people who are not satisfied with thier pc's and may be willing to try something different. Not everyone is running windows xp. Many of the things said in the ads may ring true to the many people out there still running win98 or winme...
case in point, i have the cheapest ibook currently available with 600MHz g3 and 128MB of RAM. OS X runs great. the only app that is really noticably slow is internet explorer. I have done some web graphics in photoshop while running bbedit in the background, not to mention having apache and mysql also running at the time. photoshop responded fine.
Admittedly, programs like photoshop take a little while to start (like 20-30 seconds) They actually perform fine.
Now if you are going to work with really huge images as print artists do, it is not enough, but for me (and i suspect MANY others, it's enough for now)
Now i see nothing wrong with getting more RAM (i am waiting for my 512MB module myself to arive in the mail) however the argument was that 128 was not enough to run osx reliably, and i am simply rebutting it.
your girlfriend has been running Windows 2000 (that was released in february 2000) for 3 1/2 years (when it has only been 2 1/2 years since it's release)
most PC games have interactive and friendly tutorials, not cryptic text files that may or may not have hard-to-read-if-you-are-not-a-programmer comments.

it would also kill apple as well as microsoft since apple's core business is hardware sales

they could just cripple the parts of the system that are not open. there are more closed parts of OS X than open ones.
what a waste
your girlfriend has been running Windows 2000 (that was released in february 2000) for 3 1/2 years (when it has only been 2 1/2 years since it's release)
mac cases are not just snazz. they are very functional as well (dumb handles aside)
it was the beta version of win 3.1 i believe and it would not function correctly with dr. dos because they crippled it.

I could take the plunge into Linux, hope my box doesn't get rooted in the time it takes me to figure out how to secure it
you could, you know, leave the network cable unplugged until it's all secure...
