  1. syncML on .Mac Alternatives? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Most of the fancy devices use syncML which is the XML schema for transfering all your contacts and addressbook information. on sourceforge there is a program called Sync4J which is a java program you can connect to from your devices over the web and transfer/sync all your data http://sourceforge.net/projects/sync4j/

  2. fake sender? on Building A Better Inbox (Updated) · · Score: 1

    If the challenge/response is only on the first email then it would be posible for the spammer to use an address that has already been green listed. Sometimes i get spam messages that bounce back that have my own email address as the to and from fields. This system certainly would not get 100% of all the spam it claims!

  3. Actors in Commercials on News on TiVo, "God's Machine" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If i were an actor in a television show, how would you structure that contract to force them to also be commercial pitchmen? Could they demand to be paid twice? once by NBC/ABC/CBS and a second time by coke or pepsi? or do they even get a choice in the matter? "if you want this job you'll be doing three commercials per episode or a yet to be named product!"

  4. never existed on Apple Fans Bidding on Autographed 1st Issue of Macworld · · Score: 1

    I have a sneaky feeling that the reserve might have been set rediculously high because the seller might not have ever had a signed copy of Macworld to begin with. Anyone can get post photos of something they don't own.

  6. Brings the value down on Techies Working for Peanuts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Just like any industry when qualified workers work below their value it brings everyone down. If i freelance at a set price, someone (just as qualified) will under-cut me. Then it devalues EVERYONE's value making it harder for successful freelancers and employees to hold their value. Usually this works itself out because of professionalism and quality. I do alot of HTML and webapplications and when i give my price they are taken back and go look for a high school kid that will do it for peanuts. The difference between me and him is quality and professionalism, but there is no difference between me and a layed-off version of me.

  7. second NIC card on Apple Releases Preview of IP over FireWire · · Score: 2, Interesting

    another advatage i see to this would be using the FireWire port as a second ethernet device. You could connect your mac to two seperate networks allowing "secure" communication through one card and standard communication through the other. If you already have a FireWire port why add a second NIC card... which might not be possible in a portable.

  8. follow the source code. on Only Thieves Block Pop-Ups · · Score: 1

    If you look at the source code it includes a javascript files, that includes another javascript file, than finally writes the data like this:

    document.write(unescape("%3Cfont%20size%3D3%20face %3Dverdana%3E%0D%0AThis%20HTML%20code%20is%20prote cted%20by%20Anti-Leech.com

    if you are a webdeveloper to have 3-4 files to do the work of 1 makes no sense! And if you are NOT a webdeveloper do you think the secretary knows how to update a webpage if the code is writen with %20's all over the place?

    It looks like Anti-Leech is selling job secuirty more than anything!

    my favorite quote is this: Take a look in the source code of this page for a better view of how good the protection actually is.

    if i can get around the protection so can anyone else... real good protection!
