Once Point to Point Encryption becomes the standard in all package design if the government wants to intercept and read my communications they'll have to do what the law says they have to do... Get a warrant. The same goes for my ISP or anyone else for that matter.
I could be wrong here but wouldn't they need a public key for this? How many even know what this is? Would it be automatic? Do I have to surrender my key so I can be monitored? If so then why would it be any better than the failed Clipper chip?
I fail to see how this protects us.
Actually this could make a cool story. I fail to give up my key and they chase me to the ends of the earth.
As a recovering Amiga zealot (I am on step six of the twelve step program) I could take offense to this but I won't. I learned that in step two. Or was it three?
But yeah, anyone who names their os Warp is beyond help.
and believe me, it took a lot more than a few months to port it.
You are correct, sir. They had prototypes of Intel boxes since the early days of OS X and did parallel development. It was a long planned strategy.
Why did Jobs deny it? Think back to the Osborne. It was announced they had a better and faster machine coming out in a few months. Bye bye Osborne as buyers held on to their cash.
I hear ya! Apple fanboism is nowhere Amiga fanaticsm. How do I know? I used one for about 10 years.
I now have a Mac. Why? Unix-like OS. I like my Mac fine but I am not fanatical about it. I don't have to worry about viruses and such and it is dependable. It has never once black screened in several years of use. That said I use XP at work and it has performed well for me. I have one Linux box I dabble with. They all have their faults but on the whole I like the Mac the best.
Not so sure about Leopard yet. I'm not that impressed with it.
But much of computer interface HAS changed, quite a bit. Compare the original Mac OS with OS X--there are hundreds of differences, many subtle, some very significant. The interface of Windows has changed dramatically from 3.1 to Vista. Taskbars and search are two examples of significant changes.
I guess. I don't see many changes in Mac OS X vs Mac OS 6 from a user point of view. The keyboard shortcuts are still the same. CMD P still prints my document. The same as it did on OS 6. Anyone who knows OS X could find their way around OS 6 easily. The same with Windows users and 3.1 though they might get a bit puzzled with Program Manager. If you start at W95 then no problemo. The interface is not much different from Vista. The major thing I liked about the Windows revolution was Task Manager. I like Mac OS X force quit for the same reasons.
Taskbars are another not much different than the multifinder pull down menu except you can lauch programs from it now. I don't consider search a significiant change. An evolution, perhaps, but not significiant.
We got multitasking. The Amiga on the desktop was there first. Now if you had mentioned that I might have agreed with you. That was a major step.
Heh! I still remember the days when FF got tabbed windows. Something the Amiga was doing with iBrowse several years before.
And here I am typing in this little window when with iBrowse I could hit a button and my full screen editor would pop up. Man, I really miss that feature.
I guess what I am saying is there have been improvements but there have also been fall backs.
Funny how that works.
But the overall concept remains the same. Ready, shoot, aim!

If a company mistreats its employees it breaks part of that. It may make more profit, but at a cost to the rest of society. That's why most countries have strict employment laws.
Please explain this. Most countries?
I doubt most of these have strict employment laws.
'Church teaching certainly cannot and must not weigh in on every novelty of science, but it has the task to reiterate the great values which are on the line and to propose to faithful and all men of good will ethical-moral principles and direction for new, important questions,' Benedict said."
A monopoly (from Greek mono(), alone or single + pol (), to sell) is a persistent situation where there is only one provider of a product or service in a particular market. Monopolies are characterized by a lack of economic competition for the good or service that they provide and a lack of viable substitute goods. [1]
Have you ever seen that movie The Enemy Below? I think that is it. It is where a captain takes a sub well below what it is designed for. The crew thinks he is nuts but they go along with it because he is the captain. He knows what it can do.
It is the same thing here. The SR was specced for the published docs but the design can exceed that.
Yeah, I know someone who worked on it. No, I can't talk about it.
Until costs are solely placed on the sender, email spam will be a problem. The only solution that will work in the long run will be where the sender pays the recipient to receive email.
So this means I can make money by replying fewer times to my friends? They send me five and I reply once and I make money off of them?

Crap. They already did that in The Fugitive.
Carry on. Don't mind me.

I hope I did this right. The reply link at the bottom of the first page where I reply to the original story unsettles me.
Or did I do it wrong?

So they don't use the internet much, do they?
