  1. OS X Firewall on Clean System to Zombie Bot in Four Minutes · · Score: 1

    From the article: Each was sold without an activated firewall.

    Perhaps I'm mistaken but I was under the impression that OS X ships with the firewall on by default.

    ...hence no successful attacks.

  2. Re:Libertarians? on The Hidden Swing State? · · Score: 1

    1. There is still such a thing as voting your conscience.

    2. Popular vote decides very little regarless of which party you vote for. The Electoral College elects the president and the Electors are only held accountable to uphold the popular vote in 26 states.

    3. A political party can only receive federal funding towards their campaign costs if they receive 5% or more of the popular vote. That alone makes voting for a third-party candidate worthwhile.

  3. Re:Surprised by Linus on Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat' · · Score: 1

    Actually, I believe that he was trying to stay on the side lines until SCO served him with a supoena, dragging him into the fray.

  4. iPod Trade-in on iTunes for Windows Breaking Older iPods · · Score: 1

    While this may not be the only, or necessarily best option, if you do have to upgrade Small Dog Electronics has a trade-in program for upgrading to a newer iPod.

  5. TCPA for Apple? on IBM to Release 64-Bit, 1.8GHz Processor in 2003 · · Score: 1

    Of more concern than the Intel vs. Motorola, the 32 vs. 64bit, and the Mhz myth questions is whether Apple, by switching to an Intel-based chipset, will be constrained to join the TCPA (i.e.-Palladium) conglomerate. Since Apple has taken a pretty strong stand on user freedoms one has to wonder if they would even switch to a hardware/chip platform which would demand the type of restrictions that the TCPA is proposing.
