Granted a trojan is not necessarily a worm, but a trojan definitely IS a virus. Trojans are a SUBSET of viruses that don't always self-replicate, but that lie in wait until some condition arises to activate the code to deliver its payload.
Even calling these Mac viruses "trojans" is quite a stretch, because installing it by entering an admin password, or running the executable is not enough to be able to call this a trojan. If it were enough, then we'd have to categorize ALL viruses as trojans because they are "activated" by being installed, or are activated by installing itself, or been activated by discovering an open port etc, and so had lied in wait on someone else's system for the opportunity to attack our machine.
But regardless of whether or not the Mac virus is a trojan, saying a trojan isn't a virus is like saying a Lion isn't a cat. It's still a virus, but with additional specific characteristics that differentiate it from viruses in general.
Uh.. buh.....uh WHAT?
I'm sorry,...did I say Microsoft was slow at "inventing" the idea?
That context doesn't even make SENSE. Each browser doesn't INVENT the idea, they SUPPORT it.
READ THE ARTICLE.
(Or at least read the submitter's comments)
MS's IE never conformed to the commonly accepted convention for the XMLHTTPRequest. Their "XMLHTTPRequest" object jumped from name to name almost with each new version of the browser. The post itself names ONE of the previous naming conventions right out, "Microsoft.XMLHTTP". Developers wanting to support IE could hardly keep up, and old pages would break with each new version. This is why this change to IE is good, (although not really newsworthy).
Just because MS may have had the idea a while ago doesn't mean they IMPLEMENTED it correctly (as most other browsers had).
Otherwise, what is the point of this article even making?
Which by the way, I didn't submit this article, so it's not MY bubble your futile attack was trying to burst, but the submitter's (Zonk's) or the author of the article, (A MS employee. A Program Manager in the Internet Explorer team no less!).
Didn't quite see the submitter's point?
(Well I didn't think I'd have to, but) I'll spoon-feed it to you.
The article's point was that MS is just now doing it NA-TIVE-LY.
Say it with me again.....NaaaaTiiivvvveLlyyyy. That's right. Sound it out.
Read the post & article, pay close attention to Zonk's words: "as many other browsers currently do."
So FYI, it was MOZILLA that was first across that line, not MS.
And what is the Firefox browser based on?...It's ok...we all already know......it's in Firefox's full name.... MOZILLA.
(And yes I know Firefox isn't the original Mozilla browser...But who would choose the original Mozilla browser over Firefox?)
Regardless of any of that, what's your point? Mine was that this article isn't newsworthy, and that IE is a buggy MS product that's far too easy to crash. (and so people should use Firefox in my opinion.)
I was merely restating the point of the article, and Zonk's point, to make my own point in a humorous way.
This is like reporting about the 12th man to finish a particular marathon. Not really what I'd call newsworthy.
OK...slightly newsworthy...
The guy's an inbred, with dumb-as-dirt parents.
The guy's an overweight diabetic needing constant dialysis.
The guy's a cripple with glass for bones that can and will break whenever touched.
AND...The guy is the paperboy/newsman (information provider) for hundreds of thousands of people.
...And he finished 12th in the marathon.
/Firefox. First Place. Falls to ground laughing and pointing at out-of-breath MS finish.
If the government eliminates pennies, there are going to be a LOT of pissed off grannies with empty plastic jugs just perfect for smacking people around with.
This "break back button" "Bookmarks/Can't pass url to friends" etc. is OLD NEWS, and not worth green-lighting. (And if it's not old news on/. then/. is just slow to post it.)
Besides, the points are moot in that they aren't really reasons Ajax 'sucks', They're just pitfalls that novice programmers will fall into. Experienced/thoughtful developers will be mindful of these pitfalls and know how to handle them.
And the point that search engines don't know how to navigate Ajax enabled pages, is asinine. Ajax isn't anything NEW anyways, it's just a new BRANDING (read naming/use) of OLD technologies (JavaScript & XML), and engines have been capable of handling them for YEARS (or even decades). Besides, Google can navigate them, and any other respectable engine will be able too, (if not the engine isn't worth using anyways). (Infact, many google pages MAKE USE of Ajax) And even if SOME engines can't navigate them NOW, doesn't mean we should stagnate progress. If sites DON'T implement Ajax, engines will have NO REASON to support Ajax navigation./Wasn't worth my time, but I'm REALLY sick of seeing these pointless Ajax bashing articles/posts.

The more and more I think about it, the more I believe we all SHOULD petition the government for an expansion of the lemon laws to cover more media.
Like, if you go to a restaurant and buy a meal and they screw up what you ordered, you can usually send it back and hope they don't fuck it up again.
Why can't we do that with the entertainment 'industry'?
An example:
"I just bought this Adam Sandler CD, with him in makeup on it. It's NOT FUNNY. It's not what I ordered. I paid for somthing of value, not a CD spoon-feeding me all Sandler's old tired skits to me!"
It would be awesome if this could be applied to cable services. All channels would simultaneously drop all images of the Hilton-Trash-Slut for fear of lost profits due to her whole existence being a worthless waste of space and time.
It's about time that companies started doing this.
Hopefully now companies will see that consumers that buy 'ephemeral' products actually WANT something for their money besides the temporary service they are provided.
Hopefully Apple and Microsoft will take note and follow suit.
Like when you buy a FULL album from iTunes, they should send you the HARD copy as well since it cost them NOTHING to make a copy of the digital version.
And the Bull-Shiat that Compaq, Microsoft and PC manufacturers pull when your BUY a pc and are charged for a Windows license, (In Compaq's (now HP)'s case), only to be given a 'restore partition' on the hard drive (which is easily damaged or corrupted). If I buy a license, I EXPECT a physical CD in case the shoddy software/hardware craps out and takes my copy with it.
I was lucky enough in '99 to buy a Dell and they included a backup Dell image cd AND the Win98se install cd with manual. But then in 2003 when I bought my shitty Alien-Crap-Ware laptop I specifically asked the customer service agent if by paying on their website for "a copy of WinXP pro" if I'd be getting a install CD and not just a partition or just a manufacturer restore cd, and they said it would be a WinXP cd. Bullshit. It was a restore cd.
It's good to see some companies are taking steps to actually provide a valid service rather than fleece their customers, for pure-profit 'digital merchandise'.
GRRR.
Too bad lemon-laws aren't applied to software, and digital media.
EXACTLY.
If someone is so poor they can ONLY AFORD a usb-drive and HAS to use a provided public terminal, then they have VERY LITTLE data that would be worth stealing.
(They would have no $ to part with)
People seriously. It's time to deflate your ego, and maybe even your heads.
You ARE NOT CIA agents. Your data is unimportant to 99.99% of people.
Spammers are there because 60%+ of computer internet users are retarded and don't have or don't use COMMON SENSE.
Spamming only works because THEY DON'T TARGET YOU. They throw out millions of emails. They don't care WHO or WHAT they send, but if even 1% of recipients respond, that's enough for them to make a buck.
Fish-oil sellers have been around for centuries, they just now have a new medium to use to prey on the unending hordes of gullible morons.
And besides, if your data were that important, you'd BRING YOUR OWN SECURE LAPTOP.
And if it were and you failed to do that, then SUPRISE! You are among the stupid people and should LEARN from your mistake.
But then, that's WAY to much to ask for from most people.
Come on.

OH!..and iPods!
Elementary & middle school kids DO NOT NEED iPods.
Those kids should not be given a $300+ music player....get them a $50 1st Gen iPod from eBay. That way when they break it or get it stolen, or lose it you won't be a COMPLETE MORON for buying it.
I swear the Apple store & other PC stores for that matter should have a cardboard cutout and a yardstick at the entrance that says:
"YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 'THIS TALL' BEFORE ENTERING" ...no more midgets with computers!....and no more kiddies either.
Put the money away for the kids college.
*Neck Splodes*..& ARROWED!!
If you let your kids use a PC, make it Linux.
Especially if they start to show geeky tendencies...which is inevitable since the kid will be the spawn of a Slashdotter.
Yes, I'm a Dork and proud of it.
To my girlfriend "Dork" is a term of endearment.
Exactly!
Except until they are responsible enough limit them to a "Family Desktop PC" so they can learn how to use it, before they get their own and abuse it.
Or start them off RIGHT and install a Linux distro on their PC.
NO GAMES FOR YOU! YOUR GAMES WILL BE gcc & man PAGES!
Nothing pisses me off more than seeing a irresponsible little kid with an expensive piece of technology.
The other day I saw a 7 year old with a Motorola RAZR phone. It was HIS; his parents had their own phones (in-hand). I just wanted to smack the parents.

Well now that the rating is AO because of the content that CAN"T be viewed without a patch, will Rockstar be releasing the PC version with the patch included? I think they should (and compensate the patch creator) since they're being forced to use the new rating.
Oh...and PLEASE PLEASE tell me they aren't changing the rating on the PS2 version. The content in question on that version can't be activated via a patch, like the PC version. Changing the PS2's rating would be equivalent to scraping Linux, because windows was found to be less secure AFTER both were separately rated. (Both are operating systems, one is just disliked more than the other for controversial reasons)
Why didn't the guy just say that when he posted the link in the first place, there wasn't any pirated material on the site? I'm pretty sure they would have a hard time proving that the site was illegal at the TIME of posting. I mean even if the linked text was suspicious, he could have argued that the text of the link was changed AFTER the linking occurred.
Anyone know the statute of limitation on illegal hyperlinking?
God needs to implement HTML tags in life so we can pull a </DUMB PEOPLE> and rid the world of stupid things like this.
Anyone else notice how on their webpage their selling point is that it "turns every PC into a record store... where you're the owner" Hmm can we say MISLEADING?!? So since I'm the owner of the PC store created by EVERY PC huh?...Well then jeeze,... I guess I'm gonna be rich! Oh wait... there's the second misleading part... Record store owners make money off the music they sell, and I won't see a red cent for sharing my purchased (licensed) music & bandwidth.
Here's the best thing to do if you want music cheep or free: Find a used CD store. Buy used CDs cheap. Rip & resell. Resell to a different used CD store, especially if you can find one that will buy them back for more than you paid. Profit.
