Today's Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard, is a work of the user-interface designer art. My wife recently bought a MacBook Pro, and as I've been migrating her data and applications from her elderly XP-powered ThinkPad, I've been reminded of just how smoothly integrated everything really is on a Mac. It's like driving a top-of-the-line Mercedes sports sedan.
No you've been reminded how flashy and pretty has magically become synonymous with smooth and integration.
The actual workhorse is the BSD Unix variant hidden away where graphic designers and school children can't type sudo rm / -rf and then wonder why the prettiness stopped
Job satisfaction ensures retention not money.Money will placate employees for typically no longer than 6 mths if my memory of HR stats serves correctly.
If Steve Jobs and his fellow executives keep staff happy they will probably work for a bit less as long as they're meeting the cost of living.
"We want to educate open-source developers. There are certain business rules [developers] need to obey, such as DRM, IPR [intellectual property rights], SIM locks and subsidised business models."
Everyone has said my thoughts in a polite way. I wil just put it plain and simple. This guy is either the biggest pawn/suck-up for Nokia or his parents named him "Dr Ari" and he has no doctorate. Honestly how can anyone with some level of intelligence say. We need to educate these people against the belief/values they hold in high regard because senior management in our industry don't like people getting things for free!
Viacom's complaint is insane. Hopefully it doesn't go to a jury. A jury is filled with stupid people who are not intelligent enough to tie their shoelaces. I really don't know why the US allows civil proceedings to be heard by a jury of peers at least a judge would have some level of intelligence. Reading viacom's submission I'd believe that only copyright material is available on YouTube and nothing else at all.
Secure VPN tunnel and some form of remote desktop if it's GUI based,or SSH in if it's terminal based.
In a world of highspeed connections and cheap hardware there's no excuse for anything to leave the confines of your network where you as the person in charge of security remain the person in charge of the security.
Could it possibly be that the attitude of many people in the US as I've seen on TV media and even posts here on/. That you don't see a point in leaving "the greatest country on earth" That anyone who isn't Uh-M-air-Ee-kan can't possibly have anything to contribute that's worthwhile.
A country which in WWII locked up people of Japanese decent and in this so called war on terror locked up people of Middle Eastern appearence that the next (il)logical step would be to forbid travel to countries that don't have similar ideals or forms of government and anyone returning from said countries must return without any items incase it could potentially it destory all forms of "democracy" and is thus a terrorist device... Send them to Guantanamo!
I wouldn't do that. US Customs officials don't joke well.
I heard about a guy from Australia when a customs lady asked what's in the case (it was a violin case) he jokingly said it's a machine gun. The customs lady hit the panic button apparently a bunch of armed officers came out with weapons drawn and demanded the man get on the floor.
He was deported that day.
A nation taught to be fearful and paranoid by their government and media should not have access to weapons of destructive measure greater than water pistols and pool noodles
Reason why this was good.
First film by Marvel Studios. You can tell that the comic book people had more of a roll in this one than any of the previous ones.
It is very much comic book season at the cinemas. Not that anyone's complaining
Google lost the right to title of being the good guys when they went public. Their only loyalty is now owed to that of the shareholders. They seek out an improved shareprice as the primary goal. Anything less betrays the investors. Blaming the "evil" on migrating employees fails to take into account of the simple fact that the culture once linked with google can not exist as it once was because the wonderful $ has once again swooped in.
I think that all the iPhones being smuggled back in are in every mobile phone vendor in HK. I was there a few weeks ago and every mobile vendor I walked past was offering an iPhone unlocked to whatever firmware version their sim tricks work and selling them for about $650AUD
Grey markets will always exist until all companies hop aboard the concept of the global on-demand rather than the localized rubbish they peddle now.
IANAL. Would this present a basis for case law I'd be more concerned with the far reaching implications this has. In fact if RAM is in fact a form of documentation for any device that utilizes RAM which I couldn't see if it was server specific or not would have to store that memory in a non volatile way. In essence if someone who is a lawyer or legally trained would they be able to explain to me if you would have to record all information that passes through your webserver until the statute of limitations expires on that specific piece of information?
Yes OpenOffice 2 is free. Office 2007 is cheap (for now) In terms of word processing, spreadsheets and presentations they're both simple and easy to use suites and very powerful. Assuming we'll be using a common format lets say Office XP/2003 format because as much as/. members would love it to be ODF we'll take real world scenarios. The only thing on the surface that's left to distinguish the two is the user interface. Office 2007's interface is pretty and as Apple has already proven eye candy sells! I mean come on fancy looking OS wrapped around unix and everyone loves it!

Don't type in a wrong e-mail address and confirm it.
I've never used my student e-mail address and foolishly typed mine in as firstname.surname@mq.edu.au rather than the required firstname.surname@students.mq.edu.au
*queue laughter at me now*
Unfortunately the only method of contact this 3rd party e-retailer is through a web form and I haven't had any reply in over 4 days. Very willing to take my money but not respond if I have a problem. If I haven't heard anything by COB Friday (Sydney time) I'll be taking the owner of the Australian domain to fair trading YAY for.au TLD's that require an ABN
I will use Scrubs as the sake of my argument in Australia.
Scrubs has not started airing season 6 in Australia. Yet if I load up the iTunes store and choose the US as my location I can potentially download everything upto the current episodes. (assuming they don't have any i.p restrictions in place) Why is it that I'm not allowed to access digital content because of the continent I reside on? If I'm made to wait almost a year to watch something when I can download it off the net either legally or otherwise.
Basic economic principles consumers demand products if someone can supply it then consumers will take it.
Australian TV providers are slow and arrogant, Consumers are showing they want things faster. If US production companies want to grow they should start bypassing networks and distributing themselves.
What you do on your property is no one's responsibility but yours. If someone's light-rays that bounce off their body enter your property, they are now YOUR property.
Yes well in that case I authorize rape, murder, theft and drug dealing and that's ok because it's my property. And while I'm at it i'll change the laws of physics to ensure that light does not exit the confines of my property because it's my property so I am in charge of everything on it!
It's unfortunate that certain people in public service employment abuse their power but it's not everyone your sweeping generalizations make you look rather foolish and paranoid. With everything regarding all laws, rules & regulations there are correct and proper procedures in place to maintain order and relatively smooth operating society. If you suspect someone is breaking the law alert the appropriate authorities. Your taxes pay for their jobs
Ok frankly this guy is a dumb ass. Sure he was clever enough to find an exploit but obviously not clever enough to test it in a way that couldn't be traced back to him.
This guy wasn't disclosing security bugs this guy was doing something he thought would be "cool" After all being able to have a T-shirt made up that says "I hacked myspace" would have to be one of the greatest achievements anyone could do with their life.
If this guy was a D&D character he'd have moderately high intelligence and very low wisdom
I'm seeing a lot of posts saying "the teacher shouldn't yell" or some other why don't you just reason with them.
I do volunteer work with 13-15 yr olds in the Australian (Catholic) High school system. Kids talk, they're disruptive and don't like authority. From what I've experienced in the school system students are far more disrespectful. I was amazed when I heard students swear directly at teachers. How many of you have to put up with that in your working environment?
Children need to respect the authority of their teachers and be disciplined by them. Parents going on about "suing" are stupid and teaching their children poor skills to deal with life
Until recently iPod's had no legal use whatsoever in Australia but they sold by the truck loads. Like in most countries the big industries control the politics. In Australia big industry comprises of raw materials. Mining & Farming etc etc. The music and film industry is small by comparison. This will be another one of those laws where Australians won't care and when Sony BMG or Universal decide to be the wankers they always are and proceed to take some poor schmuck to court for posting his favourite concert event to youtube or what not...
Well we'll just get a retired constiutional QC to represent us and then head up to bonydoon with our trading post and wait for everyone to hear about us on the TV.
Had it happen once.
Unplug it and let the batteries drain and recharge... it was fine then.
I had my iPod stolen when I was in Germany last year. I didn't bother with it again the only cool thing about them is the scroll wheel otherwise they're absolute crap!
start > run > ntbackup.exe (assuming you're running XP Pro)
You can back up everything including the running system state so you can do a total system rebuild from backups. Although as everyone has suggested use a hard disk. probably cheaper in terms of time and media combined but that's just my $0.02

iTunes is by far the most convenient online music store I have come across in terms of use. So what do I do???
I willingly break their DRM and convert to a more portable format because:
2) They work for apple anyone involved with Apple seem to be somewhat in love with the company (slightly humourous to me anyway)
3) Money < Job Satisfaction (actual valid response)
Job satisfaction ensures retention not money.Money will placate employees for typically no longer than 6 mths if my memory of HR stats serves correctly.

Political stunt for the win!!!

The only conclusion I can come to is that I am superman
Well I suppose a bull and an elephant have a slight resemblence.
They stand on four legs they have big noses and large eyes and big curved sharp horns/tusks pointing at the front of their faces...
2) Waste of money They could achieve the same thing with a cheap laptop a cheap webcam/mic combo and a work experience kid to carry it around

Can I be modded for satire & mockery?

MP what you say? Music comes on computers now??? WOW!!!
RIAA - "Because bringing civil charges against everyone on the internet is easier than moving with new technologies"
unless it impacts on corporate America of course
