Ultimately you will probably receive more spam due to this decision.
And why is this? As far as I can tell, SP2 adds functionality and a few bug fixes, but security exploits are always released seperately, and always have been. Someone with SP1 can continue to install security patches.
Why would Apple want to support the Ogg Vorbis format? Call me cynical, and I've said this before, but what's in it for Apple?
It would help foster goodwill towards the open source community for one. Compared to how much Apple has gained from the OSS community, they've given back very little.
And that's why KDE and Gnome are slow. They aren't slow, they just feel slow.
Try LinuxPPC. Gnome 2.6 really flies on LinuxPPC. Especially compared to Panther. My entire desktop is noticably more responsive under Linux than it is under Panther. On both my Dual 1.25ghz G4 and my crappy 400mhz Pismo Powerbook.
My friends and I though, have this other method we have been using, I am actually thinking of patenting it: We walk across the room and (this is the neat part) hold a conversation using (get this...) only our voices.
Your method has a fatal flaw, it doesn't work in clubs or concerts.
No offense, but this arrogance is exactly why Linux has insignificant desktop market share.
It's really reassuring that so many people know exactly why Linux has insignificant desktop market share. Oddly enough, it's usually some random slashdotter's fault.
just how many other devices have similar "hidden" features, just waiting to be hacked. I suspect it's a lot.
The Nissan Sentra has the same engine and frame as the more expensive 200SX, but for the life of me I can't find the software hack to change the body panels of my sentra.
And that's what most people do with their PC. Drive it. Not muck around under the hood and tweak the fuel injectors, or adjust the slope of the ABS initiation.
Ironically, Congress is forcing auto makers to reveal their "precious precious IP" because your average mechanic can't read the chips in your car. Basically auto makers were trying to get you to take your car into the dealer to get an oil change. Congress stepped up and said "that's unfair trade practice".
In the original DK the "mario" like guy was called Jumpman, he wasn't referred to as Mario until the game "Mario bros" came out, which features Mario, but is nothing like SMB.
Also the girl you had to rescue was not called "Princess Peach" but "Pauline". The original Jumpman wasn't a plumber either, he was an electrician.. and didn't become a plumber until Mario Bros.
It would take a lot more than "green energy" to allow us to "leave the oil and coal in the ground"
What? Are you saying that I can't reduce friction on my electric motors, and make lightweight, sturdy and safe plastic products with moonbeams and stardust?
In the US, how many police officers would have to die in a single incident to get that level of blanket news coverage? How many are shot and killed every week?
Wow, talk about letting US's "image" get in the way of the facts. If a police officer is killed, it is major news, even here in gun-happy Arizona. In fact, the last officer killed in Arizona was hit by a drunk driver over a year ago.
Now regular people getting killed is another matter... it always makes the news, but it happens much more often.
you have the right ideas but the wrong attitude. rpm itself can be compromised too , so there is no guarantee whatsoever what it can show and what in reality exists.
No, because you'll be using the rpm binary from the knoppix CD.
Just type ssh://your.favorite.host/ into your browser's location field. If you get a new terminal window which attempts to ssh there, obviously Mallory could do something similar to you.
Confirmed, works in both Firefox and Safari on Jaguar.
Of course if there was any kind of rootkit or similar nasty installed, it was probably installed off the command line from a tar.gz file, so it wouldn't appear there.
I always thought that an OSX rootkit would use a nice pretty GUI installer and register itself with Software Update so you can download the latest 0wnz3r patches.
Reset password via the InstallCD and boot it into normal singleuser. Can't remember the key-combo now, but it should be something like Apple+s.
There's an rpm -Va command for OSX?
Changing your root password back isn't going to help if a backdoor has been installed. You need a way to verify that none of your files have been modified. Under redhat, rpm -Va will verify the md5sum, permissions, timestamp of all your installed packages.
For the extra paranoid, put your/var/cache/rpm onto a keychain.
Chances are it's just some kid who found a computer and managed to guess the password or something. If it was a pro job, you're right. But I'm betting it's just some kid or wannabe.
The 'controller invention' N64 comment was added, presumably, by the person who wrote the article for 1UP (not by lovely Slashdot editors, although it is in the same bracketing format we use), but I removed it, because you're right, it doesn't seem to make total sense. Doh.
Well, the N64 shoulder buttons (and gamecube) are much different than the shoulder buttons on the SNES. The SNES shoulder buttons were buttons, but on the N64/GC they were analog triggers.
That could've been what he meant.. it fits with the analog control stick.
My father had BellSouth DSL, and they've started blocking Port 25 for outgoing mail. This means that he couldn't send mail through the third-party mail server that he's been using for years. I don't want to have to change his settings (and he doesn't want to give people a new address) every time he has to change ISPs, so he pays a bit of money to use NetIdentity.com for his mail.
5 seconds of googling turns up an alternate netidentity port.

It was a big issue when the iPod first came out, because Linux users were hoping to use it, and Linux has HFS support (but not HFS+).
Linux does have HFS+ support.. and has for at least 2 years now. I don't know if it did when the iPod came out, but it definately has it now.

I'm constantly amazed by how popular auto leasing is in this country
I think it's mostly popular for company vehicles. Your regular joe doesn't lease his vehicle unless he's stupid.
Either that, or his credit is completely shot.

However, I'd love to see Bruce Campbell in a revived Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
I just want the original series on dvd.

It looks like none of these exploits seem to work any more after the 10.3.4 update.
That doesn't mean anything.. those exploits didn't work before because the DMGs are damaged.
I'd actually be very concerned if Apple fixed the URI handler problems with 10.3.4, because that would mean that they've officially abandoned Jaguar.

Here is the solution.
I'm of the opinion that anyone offering 3rd party mail service should use TLS/SMTPS (port 465) anyway.
