3. "Eudora Security Flashback: I still don't know what the hell Kerberos is and what it has to do with a dog much less my email?"
Considering that this guy is, judging from the content of his post, very Microsoft-centered, for him to not know what Kerberos is suggests he is not even close to any kind of expertise in the field.
I think this is a subtle/obvious to some troll. Hell and kerberos and dog. He is close to the mark here. The clues say he DOES know how it all relates.
Supercomputer: The fastest type of computer used for specialized applications that require a massive number of mathematical calculations. The NSA supercomputer center contains the largest accumulation of computer power in any one building on Earth. One Cray Triton supercomputer at the facility can handle 64 billion instructions per second, and there are many of them at the NSA. The computers are used for breaking adversaries' codes, creating U.S. top-secret codes and sifting through billions of information intercepts made by the NSA searching for useful intelligence. The government also bans the sale of supercomputers to countries such as Iraq for fear they may be used to create nuclear weapons.
What happens if say.... the computer isn't turned on? It's a neat idea, but it has a severe shortcoming. People don't steal computers (usually) while they're still on. They make off with them when you leave the bag unattended.
The first one was better. Less defined squares. It looked more natural and fit the mood better.

1 - The fact they dont have beatles tunes on itunes does not negate the concept i was talking about.
Which was?
2 - If i have to read the f-ing article instead of the summary, then the summary is bad, not my fault.
Got it! I am too lazy to read the article because I trust the summary (which, I might add, was so far off the mark as to be out of the ball park altogether.)
Therefore I can contribute to the discussion with absolutely no clue as to what it is really about.
Does that about sum up your comment?

*sigh*. Yes, the computer itself is usually called a Mac or a G5. As it should be. But Apple Computer (the company) is usually referred to as Apple or Apple Computer. You don't refer to Apple Computer as Mac or G5.
I don't know anyone who refers to Apple as Apple computer. They just say "I bought an Apple" or "I bought a Mac/G5" or "I bought iPods for everyone this year for Xmas." or "I bought an iBook for my kid."
It's kinda weird really. Saying "I bought a Powerbook" is different than saying "I bought a Dell laptop."
What? Apple Records = Apple Corps. How are you not going to associate Apple Corps with Apple Records - they're the same.
Maybe because I am old and it has always been Apple records to me. Apple Corps has never entered my reality.
To be honest I haven't put much thought into it, and probably heard the term Apple Corps in the past, but I can't recall any such term. It has always been Apple Records in my world. I know about the the clothing stores and electronics stuff but that was way back when I was in high school.
Rats! Now they know how old I am.

One solution that has been touted in the latest Apple tussle is to have McCartney join the board of Apple Computer, ensuring that Beatles tracks are available on iTunes.
Heh. Like Sir Paul really cares about any of this crap.
So he joins and agrees to sell the songs for the Apple price. So he doesn't and does the same.
Who really cares how or if The Beatles songs make it to iTunes. Or not.
OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!! BEATLES!!!! THEY ARE SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!! ALMOST AS CUTE AS PONIES!!!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!!
Sorry. It musta been a flashback of some sort. From ze war.
How do you get "G5" from "Apple Computer"? I could see you calling them "Apple" maybe, but. ..
Where I work we have Macs and PCs. No one refers to a Mac as an Apple. We call them G5s because we have some G4s and need to identify the model sometimes.
Anyway, a mac is a Mac, not an Apple in our house.;)
. . . you do realize that Apple Corps and Apple Records are both the same company?
Uh, yeah, and Apple computers is a corporation and Apple Records is but most won't associate Apple Corps with a record company. Just my opinion.
Apple doesn't sell Beatles music.
Which one?
Neither Apple sells Beatles music. Apple Corps doesn't sell Beatles music - in fact, they don't sell music at all. Apple Computer is the one that sells music.
Gotcha! Apple computers sells music. Apple Corps/Records, the music company, doesn't.
But you may have a point. I can't find any references at the moment that Apple Corps does anything but own an apple logo and sue Apple computers.
Didn't Michael Jackson buy the Beatle copyrights?
So what does Apple Corps really own except a name and apple logo?
Japanese born Yoko Ono is not only John Lennon's widow with a net worth of $775 million, she is a granddaughter of billionaire Zenjiro Yasuda, one of Japan's top zaibatsu industrialist leaders. Yasuda Bank had the largest deposits in Japan at the end of World War II. Yoko's father worked for Yokohama Specie Bank in Hanoi from 1941-1945. After World War II ended, the zaibatsu cartels (defined) that backed and built Japan's war machine were broken up. More on Yoko Ono. See Yoko Ono, Hero of Gun Control. For more on Yoko's grandfather Zenjiro Yasuda, see Yasuda Zaibatsu, now Fuji Bank.
Then we have
Badfinger.
Looks like their first five albums were on Apple records. I happen to like Badfinger. I have Magic Christian Music on vinyl unopened. I suggest
this one. It was a boot they released themselves with little or no enhancement. Great live music!
But I can't think of any more. I thought Klaatu was but was mistaken.
Just google around. You find some interesting related stuff.
They really are not *in* the music business, so they arent hurting apple records, so they should just shut up and appreciate the extra sales they get via beatles songs on itunes.
Uhm, go check out iTunes. They can't make any money with music they don't sell.
From TFA:
Most record companies have welcomed iTunes, because -- unlike pirate music sites -- it protects their copyright and collects a fee. But the Apple vs. Apple dispute means that no Beatles music is available on iTunes.
Remember those big round black disks that had analog music encoded onto them? Some of them came with a big Apple logo in the middle. So, while people might not associate Apple Records with much nowdays, they certainly did back in the 1970s, when Apple Computer was founded. You can't rewrite history with a marketing campaign.
So what? I never paid much attention to the apple. I bought The Beatles, not the apple. I bought Pink Floyd, not EMI or Capitol. I bought... my point should be made by now. They could have been on Joes Label. Who cares about the label? I want the music.

Even going back to the 60's, they were one of the last major bands to 'upgrade' to 8 track recording, having recorded practically their entire career on 4 track recording, even though 8 track recording was certainly available earlier.
Plz site sources. Sgt. Pepper was one of the first to use 8 track recording. It was actually only six as two tracks were used for synching.
No, the Beatles' music label is Apple Corps. People usually call it Apple Corps. Not Apple.
I have never called them that. In my world it has always been Apple records or just Apple. I seldom refer to Apple computers as Apple computers. I refer to them as Macs or G5s;)
Actually someone might confuse Apple Corps with Apple computers but I doubt they will confuse them with Apple records.
I don't make a penny off this but the Apple Corps thing rang a bell.
House was the bell. It is a good book (as is The Soul of a New Machine) and Apple Corps were the contractors building the house.
They haven't been sued yet.
Yeah, I know... music.... houses.... no connection and no one is going to confuse the two.
Apple Computer.... Apple records.... Apple sells music.... Apple sells Beatles music... Apple doesn't sell Beatles music... my brain hurts!
Anway, I seem to recall somewhere where the agreement stated that Apple (the computer one) would not sell physical media. Can't find any evidence at the moment.
From TFA:
Apple Corps was started by The Beatles in 1968 and is still owned by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, the widow of John Lennon and the estate of George Harrison.
The last I heard they don't need any money.
Back in 1970 Paul sued the others over a money issue. Read the part about Allen Klein.
