Firefox needs to disable third party cookies by default. There's no reason why images/iframes from other(3rd party) domains should be allowed to set cookies. I don't see any reason why 3rd party cookies should be allowed, they are frequently abused and used as web bugs that track your web browsing from site to site.
Are you 12? Seriously, the post was talking about PowerPC chips catching up to the mhz ratings of PCs. My post stated intel p4's are running at 3.8 ghz, to counter his arguement that PowerPCs are catching up in mhz. And you chimed in saying AMD smashes P4, how does that have to do with anything in the thead?
Uhh.. P4s are pushing 3.8ghz and apple is coming out with 2.8ghz. On the laptop side of things, Pentium M's(which are faster per clock cycle than a g4 or g5) are at 2.13ghz while G4s are at 1.67ghz.
Apple has market strangehold on online music sales. With iTunes and all the people who purchased iTune songs, they can use DRM to sucessfully lock out other manufactors and use the DMCA prevent companies from providing compatibility(as they stated when real reversed engineered fairplay).
My mp3 player has no DRM. Files are stored on a standard MMC card. I can pop the card into any flash reader and transfer files. You apple fan boys seem to think DRM is ok. Because of growing support of iTunes, and the general acceptance of DRM and DRM friendly products(iPods). We will see DRM propagate. There are alternatives like Emusic who sell non DRM mp3s from artist like Ray Charles to Creedence Clearwater Revival. But since the general public has shown that they will accept DRM into their lives, record industry won't be licensing music to distributers that don't provide DRM. Thanks again for screwing over our consumer rights.
"2. The browser is not only NOT a default part of the OS, but refuses to run executable content.
3. The media player is not only NOT a default part of the OS, but refuses to run executable content.
4. The email client is not only NOT a default part of the OS, but refuses to run executable content."
Yeah they should follow apple's lead. Oh wait, osx comes with all that stuff.
"But DRM like iTunes' is the most liberal there is"
Most fair because they allow you to infinite burnings? Umm all most all the guys except buy.com has infinite burning. You know why i like itunes though, its so fair apple licenses their drm to other mp3 manufactors. Oh wait they don't, they use DRM to lock out competitors. And once Real gets their harmony stuff working, we'll see Apple bust out with the DMCA. You apple fanboys amaze me.
I feel sorry for all the people who bought their directivo hd boxes for $1200. This is why I like cable's rent the box model, $7 a month. Can't go wrong.
Yawn.. ILECs are heavily regulated by the FCC. Any outage results in very large fines. Ask anyone if their phone service has ever went out. You probably not find one person. As for ILECs, i'd rather work there then some CLEC. Least I'd know my job is secure. Its quite funny when I was interviewing people at my company in 2001 to 2002, that half the candidates were from globalcrossings.
Or you can take it straight from the horses mouth [search for apple]. Sure looks like they do a lot of work for Apple. If we compared Apples 622 documents to Microsofts 670 documents, they are pretty equal. And thats not a fair since Apple only has 3% market share.
You saying IT work is more important than police, doctor and firemen? Wow. I'm sorry but when my server crashes and i'm drunk at bar and don't answer my phone. People don't die. Houses don't get burned down. Crimes don't get committed. If a computer network drops at a hospital, doctors still can still do their jobs.
You also forgot to mention executives, who are out wining and dining clientel trying to get that million dollar contract signed so the company has money to pay your salary. And forgot the people who maintain the building so when the air conditioner breaks on a weekend, your data center doesn't cook itself.
IT guys are expendable, hence our profession is getting outsourced. Attitudes likes yours are only fueling fire. I don't know why many geeks suffer from a superiority complex, maybe has something to do with getting picked on in highschool.
Looking at their webpage I noticed both IBM and Apple are members. Where did you find out that Microsoft is the biggest beneficiary, do you have any links? Or are you just pulling it out of your ass? And what power does the BSA hold?
And who would determine what is porn and what is not? Do breast implant doctors have to be in the.xxx tld if they have client before and after photos? Does photographer have to be in the.xxx tld, if they have a couple nude artworks on their sitework? Obscenity is hard enough for to be judge in America, now you going to judge it world wide?
you can run it on multiple portable devices, giving the consumer a CHOICE. You can't say the same about iTunes which locks the consumer into the iPod family. Microsoft allows manufactors to license their DRM, Apple refuses to license Fairplay to manufactors thus removing "the choice" from consumers. I'd pick Microsoft's DRM anyday over Fairplay because I know I can switch to a different device and my PURCHASED content will still work. I'll probably get modded flamebait or troll for pointing out the which DRM allows the consumer a choice.
Hopefully never. Because once the FCC gets involved with the 'internets', it means internet based content is now subjected to their morality standards.

So your saying MS doesn't do interviews? They just hire without even seeing a resume?

Umm did you read the parent post? We are talking about Mhz not about processing power.

JPL, the guys who do lot of the satellite missions(voyager, galileo, etc) is staffed by both caltech employees and regular government employees.
Listen PAL, these jokes are getting old.
And I think Hawaii isn't on it either. Making it year around would be simple since US software already has to support these states.
Yeah they should follow apple's lead. Oh wait, osx comes with all that stuff.
Newer dvd players ignore the disabling of the menu of button and lets you jumped to the menu.

Turn off 3rd party cookies. There's no reason why an image or iframe should be setting cookies.

Not to mention community service will help out the community instead of putting money into Microsoft's wallet.

Yes because double encoded music sounds just like the single encoded music I purchased. Buy a clue thanks.
