I don't think its a matter for Apple to decide. If the music labels that allow Apple to sell the music keep telling them to change the DRM, Apple has little choice. Without a product to sell, iTMS is pointless.
And you must not realize that is nothing more than the changes they made to Linux. The real meat of the system all lives in userland, and is closed source.
I think the original poster was making a point about the need for physical security in data centers, and the that post just happened to deal with VeriSign.
Cripes, why is it that everyone is so literal. Think, people, THINK!
While the machine may be in the Seibel building now, it used to be in the ACM chapter office in the old CS building, which is where the picture was taken. That machine dates back to my undergradute days in 96 or so, although I'm sure it was around longer than that. I even remember when Be came to campus and gave the ACM chapter those BeBoxes.
Why any ISP of any kind that lets port 25 traffic go outboung is beyound me.
Ummm, youve obviously never had an email address other than the one provided by your ISP. If you have, you'd know that the only way to send email via that address is to send through the mail server for that domain, since properly configured mail servers shouldn't relay email for domains they don't represent. So if my ISP blocks port 25, I can't send email from my @foo.com email through mail.lameisp.net, and because of port 25 blocks, I can't even relay through my own mail.foo.com
Furthermore, I won't use a crippled ISP. If you filter my outgoing traffic, I filter your incoming payment.

I much prefer to use apache benchmark tool for this sort of thing. Not only can you tell it how many times to get a url, you can tell it how many connections to use while doing it.
Should be installed under your apache bin directory as 'ab'. I recommend the following if you have a decent pipe:
Actually, turbo is an appropriate name for the way these codes work. If I remember correctly, its been 4 years since it was explained to me, as the data leaves the encoder, some of it gets routed back into the first stage to act as a hint for encoding the next stage of data. So the data exhaust, helps compress the data intake, much like a mechanical turbo.
Just for perspective, slide rules were in use until the calculator was *practical* and required less effort on part of the user to do the same calculations.
Just because something is more technologically advanced, does not mean it is always faster or better. If it is a good idea, eventually it will get there. Would you have used a calculator that took up a small room and required constant maintenence when you had a wodden slide rule that was portable and always worked?
Actually you are wrong on this. Justifiable homocide is defined by the state, and not the federal government, so what may be illegal where you live, might be legal in other states, like Arizona. Here is an excerpt from Arizona law on the subject:
13-408. Justification; use of physical force in defense of property
A person is justified in using physical force against another when and to the extent that a reasonable person would believe it necessary to prevent what a reasonable person would believe is an attempt or commission by the other person of theft or criminal damage involving tangible movable property under his possession or control, but such person may use deadly physical force under these circumstances as provided in sections 13-405, 13-406 and 13-411.
You've seen the article, did you actually read it? If you had, you know the part about being able to tell who you voted for from the reciept isn't possible.
From the article:
Your receipt cannot be decoded by anyone, or otherwise linked to your vote, except by decrypting with (or breaking) all the secret keys of which each trustee has its own.
I'm not concerned about making the paranoid feel safe, I could care less. I merely want the ability to validate that my vote was included in the count that was used in the election. The method proposed by Chaum does that and still allows me to maintain the sanctity of the secret ballot.
Yes, it has been said here before, but then again, a viable solution has been mentioned on/. before too.
A receipt that stay at the polling place does me no good if they don't count it, and I don't trust them too. Furthermore, a receipt I take with me does no good to me if I can't use it to prove my vote wasn't counted. There is no accountablitiy in current electronic *OR* paper systems, and until there is, voting is nothing more than opium for the masses.
Has anyone bothered to check the Terms of Service for Sprint's DSL? Chances are changing settings on the modem is against them. Every time I've read one of these there is always a provision against modifing settings, prime examples being caps on cable modems. The fact that they are trying to pin this on the user is yet another instance of corporations wanting to be paid for a service that they will only provide when forced to do so, and then poorly.
My biggest concern is for the safety of other pilots.
How does the drone make the decision to yeild right of way to another plane which might be crippled, or perhaps an ultralight that doesn't show up on on radar? A human pilot can easily make these complex descions, but how advanced is the AI in regards to collision avoidence? Has it even be tested in an air space that is busier and has less control compared to a military enviornment. I'm sure that the remote pilots will monitor things, but it's still not the same as being in the cockpit.
Not to mention you still have to deal with any additional encryption they use. Just because WEP is crap, doesn't mean they can't use IPsec over the link.
When Apple transitioned from 68k to PPC there was a lot of code that was still 68k and it was transparently emulated. While it's likely that the new 64 bit PPC will have some support for 32 bit instructions, it's not a requirement, just a convenience.
While this will seem like a good solution to school boards and parents, most net admins will see two big problems.
1. What does an encrypted connection look like? It's not like a software designed to get around filters will advertise what it is doing. I supposse you could look at the data and only let it by if it looks like text, maybe by word frequency, but what happens when the Spanish class goes to look at spanish language sites? Filter freaks and thinks it's encrypted. Yes, you could add language detection and have patterns for all languages, but how many companies do expect will provide these for free, and how many schools will pay for the upgrades.
I'm sure there are other ways to try and guesss if somehting is encrypted, but there are just as many was to fool those things as well.
2. Who gets to develop this list of known sites? And how often will it get updated? Does it include just the domain name, or the whole url? Is the Google cache on the list?
IMHO filtering is not the solution. Everytime a filter gets tighter, its likely to restrict some content that isn't intended, and two weeks later, there is a new way around it. The only one who makes out is the company writing the filter software. I'd rather that school budgets be spent teaching children, instead of trying to hide the real world, no matter how unseemly, from them.
But what about when my bank buys it? Or the bank that my employer uses buys it?
Let me guess, I should change banks and then get a different job.
Do you even know what software your bank uses? I don't, and I doubt they would tell me if asked.

Wonder how long until the story about a revolutionary new compression scheme called LZW hits the frontpage?
Screw that, if it's SCO then you better keep choking them, hitting the, or at least get a stake through the heart. They deserve no mercy.

There is a way to do this right, but you wnoder if those in power would invest in a truly secure system.
