Because they are starting to worry. Lately they have been taking more of hit, and they are starting to fear people actually doing something about it. You don't get to the top of your market without being somewhat paranoid. They'll release a stop-gap to fix it, and then in their next release tout some new feature.
The best purchase you can make is a paper shredder, preferably a cross-cut model. When you get your mail, either shred it, or file it right away. A pile of mail sitting around is an easy target, especially if it isn't opened - you probably won't miss it if you haven't opened it. Shred everything, even those credit card applications. You don't want any information easily available!!!
Don't give them any ideas. Next thing you know we'll see Norton antivirus:Auto 2005 - guaranteed to keep your system virus free AND improve your gas mileage!
Bluetooth SIG Mission Statement
Develop, publish and promote the preferred short-range wireless specification for connecting mobile products, and to administer a qualification program that fosters interoperability for a positive user experience.
That definately show interoperability, but I have to wonder if the virus is bluetooth qualified?
Looks like wallstreet likes the decision. Right now it looks like they are up nearly 5%. Should help them bring another profitable game into their portfolio. GTA keeps doing good, but they needed something else.
Install one of the plugins that allows certain websites to open in IE. Thats what I've done in the past. - I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head though...
Every single person I have showed firefox too has used it. Even my wife, who hates when I mess with the computer. I've converted nearly everyone at work, and their home PC's too.
Do your part to help, show it to somebody, and get them hooked. Tell them to pass it on. Think of possible exponential growth - 1>2>4>8>16>32>64>etc... It doesn't take much to convince people to switch.
Yes, but unfortunatly, even though firefox is superior software, eventually there will be spyware targeted to firefox. The spyware and malware writers aren't stupid, unfortunately, and they'll find any way to fool stupid users.
I'm not saying it will ever be the epidemic IE has, but there will be some spyware that will fool users, whether it be a toolbar, or some other "add on" that sounds good to users.
Build smarter mouse, someone builds a better mousetrap unfortunately.
EarthLink will sell phone services using the networks of Sprint Corp. and Verizon Wireless, while SK Telecom will be a technical partner in the venture, the paper said, quoting an executive close to the deal.
Unfortunately that means not in my neck of the woods
Everything will eventually have ads. Eventually we'll be the way of futurama:
Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?
Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!
Why does Ubuntu install Gnome by default? Do you support KDE and KDE apps?
The default desktop environment for Ubuntu is Gnome. You will find all the KDE packages you could want in the universe component of Ubuntu. We don't at this stage have the resources to put the same level of post-freeze work into the KDE packages as we put into the Gnome packages.
We are working with the KDE team to collaborate on that, so that Ubuntu will be an excellent platform for KDE users too... more on that in due course.
Yea, unfortunately we can't afford to buy 200 copies of vmware, plus the os licenses, plus the fact half the people would be clueless as to what they were doing. Maybe one of these days....
Yes, but not everyone has everything they need right there. In my company it is almost impossible since we have windows only software that we can't port, or use wine for (believe me I've tried) This is for the banking industry. So until there is a way to make that work, I've done what most places have done, put linux in the server room.
I think what we have here in our county is a nice system. It's similar to a scantron test. you color in your choices, and when you are done, it is fed in. If there is a problem, it spits it back out. At the end of the day, it prints out a total. The judges count the number of ballots to make sure it matches the number of ballots entered. If nothing is out of line, it only takes 30 minutes or so for them to balance at the end of the day, and then take the results in. It cut down the balancing time by nearly half. If there is a recount, the paper ballots still exist. Don't know who makes the machines though... probably diebold.
Emergency brakes no longer exist. They are called parking brakes now, because they aren't designed to resist the torque of the engine, they just have enough power to hold the car from rolling, and even then, cars with manual transmissions are recommended to be put in either reverse or first gear to give additional resistance to keep from rolling.
Anything is going to have a risk associated with it. Yes, there are more things that can go wrong with all the electronic controls on vehicles. But the throttle cable could get stuck on the old 63 Dodge Dart you have in your driveway. You could also trip and roll down a hill and hit your head if you choose to walk to avoid "dangerous" cars.
I do think cars should have a kill switch that is available to the drivers that kills power to the ignition coil, or something similar. Aside from pulling fuses out, there isn't always a way to stop the car if something similar happens.
My dial-up is $15 per month, DSL, and wireless internet are $50 per month. Not worth it for me. I download at work, transfer to keydrive or cd, and take stuff home. I don't want to use a computer after I've been working on one all day long anyway.

So I guess that we have to close all the open windows, get out, and then open the windows again?
That definately show interoperability, but I have to wonder if the virus is bluetooth qualified?

Put a positive spin on it!
Fortunately, the fix is already in the trunk, and Firefox 1.1 is scheduled for release in March 2005. Hopefully that will be the end of that problem.

Why, even my sig has an ad....

I donate to the human fund, and I also skip gifts and instead donate to the human fund!
They help people, I think....
And who is going to watch to make sure the same exact code is going to go on the machine?
Yeah, and with my dialup connection at home, I'll be able to watch the entire season of a show about the same time the DVD release comes out!
