Neither the ISP or the software hosts intentionaly used this virus. He did. Knowingly, williingly and purposefuly, he released a damaging piece of viral code into the wild.
They're not sending him to prison for typing any more than they send rapists to jail for feeling good.
He took a known computer virus, designed to cause damage. Modified it so that he would know which computers were infected and then willfuly and purposefully released said virus back into the wild to cause havoc.
Right, and being a murderer helps the medical industry, the police departments and coroners. Fuck that.
Personaly, I don't need 100 professors banging down my door at the same time wondering why stuff isn't working. I'm paid to maintain the system and improve as nessesary, not clean up after some stupid shit.
Precedent is only relevant in the districts which the court has jurisdiction. If this makes it to the supreme court, then it will have berring, until then, it's two districts with differing opinions.
I just got SP2 for free, what was the last free (major) upgrade apple provided?
Today, Mac OS 10.3.5, included plenty of very useful improvements to the system.
On the other hand, going from 10.1 to 10.2 to 10.3 was the same as moving from Windows 95 to 98 to XP, except in the case of moving from 10.1 to 10.3 the system performance improved on the same hardware.
How many PC exclusive games are there? Lots right?
How many of them are the same game you've played 100 times and aren't even worth the disk they come on.
But how many exclusively mac games are there? Drawing a blank?
There's a bunch at www.ambrosiasw.com, but that said, what does it matter how many "exclusive" games there are, what matters is whether the games worth playing are availible.
Don't try and make the Mac out to be something it's not. It is NOT a gaming platform, and never will be under the current leader ship.
2x64bit processors, up to 8 gigs of memory, SATA drives, 1Ghz FSB and so on, what more could you want in a gaming platform?
Well, that would make sense, a good chunk of the hi tech that went into the F/A-22 made it into the F-35. These are designed to be complimentary to each other and the fighters that will be used into the future.
That and he F/A-22 and the F-35 are both made by Lockheed.
So, I looked over both of the sites you linked to. Would you mind showing me where they advocate the using violence? Everything I see says it's a last resort, the last stand against tyrany.
ure, it cuts into people using the iTMS, but I thought the whole point was that iTMS supported iPod sales; not the other way around. What am I missing here?
The conclusion.
If iTMS is designed to sell iPods
And Real's program takes away from iTMS
Then it would run the risk of taking away from the iPod.
Yes, and if you buy an iPod and make it so that your real files can work with it, that's fine and dandy. But you aren't Real. Especialy if Real starts advertising as "iPod compatible" you run into the problem of this being an unsupported hack, which most of the consumers won't understand.
I take it you haven't been inside a school in oh, 20 or so year have you?
When I was in highschool, the pool was paid for by a contract with snapple, the halls were littered with Sunny D posters, Pepsi and Coke fought battles to be the official drink of our school. Colleges are littlered with commercial sponsers, from mandatory IBM laptops to credit card vendors in the quad.
Because no one will use a Zire and everyone will use an iPod? During the days when PDAs were "The Next Big Thing(TM)" I bought a Visor Prism. Nice device, and I liked it a lot, but after about 2 months, it became mostly useless. Sure it was nice having an organizer but I'm not particularly organized to begin with. So I tossed it in my drawer for a while. It's been 2 years since I took the think out, and I haven't missed it. By contrast, a little over a year ago, I bought a 10 gig iPod that has since been used for everything from an MP3 player, to a boot disk, to a repair disk, to a test bed and a backup unit. All of this on a single unit, that I never shelled out any money for an expansion for, and I use it almost every day. When I bought the iPod, it was twice as expensive as my PDA, and has gotten 4 times as much use.
Maybe he's not, but I am, and given that one of the schools I work at has 5 old powermacs running as web file, email and FTP servers from 1997 or so running system 8.1 and the only reason we're considering replacing them is because the memory on them is finaly going and it's more cost efficient to buy new machines than new memory, I'd say he's right.
Dont' quote me on it, but you should be able to drive a 30 and a cinema display from the same card. Apple's documentation for how the 30 inch display works cites a specification in the DVI standard for having dual data streams over a single DVI port, so it should be possible for your cinema display to use just a single stream on one of the ports. But, when in doubt, call Apple.
I swear the logic board problems are going to haunt apple for a while. The G3 iBooks will go down in history as the modern version of the Powerbook 5300. Don't let it disuade you from the line though, it's really a unique situation and not a common occurance.
Apple has replaced stuff out of waranty for me too. Of course, the service used to be better. A few years ago, you could call apple and get almost anything fixed without much of a fuss at all. Now you do need all your paperwork, but if you have all your paperwork, it's completely painless. New iPod had a bad drive, 15 minute phone call and the new one is in the mail, with a prepaid box to ship the defective one back. Old power adapter shorts due to bad design (and a little abuse on my end), 30 minutes later (allowing for 10 minutes of confusion over the model of computer) and a new one is in the mail, with a box to send the faulty one back. All free of charge, and all painless.
And it may make more financial sense to lease it from Steve than to own it themselves. I'm sure there's a considerable amount of expense in a business owning a jet as opposed to a private citizen.

VeriDisc used to have a list of the people that used their technology and Apple wasn't on that list, so I'm inclined to think it's the later.
Actualy people have thought about it. The problem is, emulators are all well and good, until you actualy need to access a periphrial.
1) I never said that
2) There are no guarantees in anything, especialy war
3) That "stupid plane" is one of the most advanced that's anywhere close to deployable.
The Boeing also never succesfuly completed a vertical takeoff and landing.
Well, that would make sense, a good chunk of the hi tech that went into the F/A-22 made it into the F-35. These are designed to be complimentary to each other and the fighters that will be used into the future.
That and he F/A-22 and the F-35 are both made by Lockheed.
Which is why we're working on Air Superiority too. Check out the F-35/X-35 (it's been designated, but a lot of the info is still listed under x-35.
And that's just the most recent.
So, I looked over both of the sites you linked to. Would you mind showing me where they advocate the using violence? Everything I see says it's a last resort, the last stand against tyrany.
So then explain this:
Audio formats supported: AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 (32 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible, AIFF, Apple Lossless and WAV
Upgradable firmware enables support for future audio formats

You know, I know this is slashdot and all, and facts aren't popular, but you could have at least done some fact checking

You tell me which was the better investment.
Nope, the US listens to the UN all the time. But you'll note, the UN did nothing to stop us from going in Iraq, the merely refused the play along.

I don't think that setup would void your waranty. It looks very non invasive.
