The only one that appears to be current is Gentoo and that's not an "easy" install but it should give you a feel for how well it works on the 'book. I provided a link to it in a previous post. There still doesn't appear to be a 2004.2 LiveCD yet.
but wouldent it be more intelligent to NOT put perl and other dynamic elements on your webpage if you are expecting a./ effect?
Most of the time it's the pipe that gives up under a/.ing or it's a server configured to not become completey useless (other than web), although sometimes the box probably does become a smoking hole.
Remember the Gmail Machine, the page that generated a random number and it if matched the correct one you "won" a gmail invite? That page was PHP and for every hit it locked the counter file, did the increment and unlocked, that page did approx 7M views in the 8ish hours it lived on my server. When it was mentioned on the screen savers they thought they killed the box, I had apache setup to throttle max connections and the load avg never went above 3.6 serving 950+ pages/sec. The 28Mb/s throughput did have my hosting co contact me to make sure I didn't get rooted though.
The last I heard the guy that was doing it couldn't find any suckers, er, hosts to run it for him.
If the lane bein merged into is already "full" (the spacing between the cars is the minimum safe spacing for the current speed) any additional cars entering the lane will result in a slowdown no matter how you merge them in.
True, but if the flow is controlled by the system and not humans doing stupid things, it can make sure that lane is never "full" by utilizing the other lanes.
I'm not saying it would always move at max speed, but it would flow much smoother.
If you have ever seen what a freeway looks like from altitude it starts to make sense. I have seen the 405 in West L.A. from one of the near high rises and it moves a lot like an inch worm. Mostly because of the people making irratic lane changes and refusing to leave room for a car to merge into.
How does this have anything *at all* to do with Apple? Also, why does story filtering for the front page no longer work? I turned off stories from the Apple section (twice) and I still see them!
They are cross-posting stories, it's also in the Developers section.
If all you want is a Visio like app and you don't need to share it with Visio, have a look at OmniGraffle.
If you must use Visio I would suggest putting your Windows box in a closet someplace, only fire it up when you need it and use Remote Desktop to connect.
I use both methods only because VPC is easier with multiple OS installs and when I'm on the road I can still test. VPC is a dog, Remote Desktop is actually not bad if you don't mind having the extra box around.
Yes, but it's also 'on demand'. >24 hours makes more sense when you have store hours and your own schedule to worry about.
Actually I believe that Movie* are both purchase, download, watch. The only true 'on demand' online service is now defunct thanks to MovieLink and their backing studios. I will admit I have never seen the inside of MovieLink as I wont bother to fire up a windows box and go look.
If they're using WMP, it's possible that they only allow IE to access the video because MS says that's the way to do it. Otherwise, it's possible they're trying to cut down on people intercepting and re-broadcasting the movie.
Now I haven't touched WMP from a development perspective since Intertainer went away (2002), but I'll assume that things haven't changed. The WMP plugin sucks in everything but IE, the encryption never worked right in NS 4, and only recently became embedable on the Mac. I think the encryption is still for crap on the Mac.
I used another service that make the video full screen with controls right through the browser. Maybe they didn't feel comfortable enough making something like that work with all browsers.
Did that service happen to be the above mentioned service, Intertainer? That site was sweet, other than the shoddy video quality. But I am biased, I wrote 90%+ of the UI. ah, back when work was fun.
heh, the Hydroshock rounds are impressive, but not an ideal choice for home protection as they have a tendancy to exit the intended target and keep going. You don't really want to put one in the bad guy and have it also take out an innocent.
Nice soft hollow points are better suited for home protection, think CCI Lawman or Winchester Silvertip. Happy hunting.
Still does not fix the bug where if you load a page that changes a cookie and then immediatelly quit Safari the cookie change is not saved.
Thought you logged out of your super secret intranet page - no you didnt...
If the developers of your "super secret intranet" are using persistent cookies to track logins they should be shot. Merely quitting your browser application (not closing a window and leaving Safari running) should be sufficient to terminate a logged in session.
How are AACs from iTunes music store any different? At all? Both players play regular MP3s, so you get the same "freedom" regardless.
They are different than encrypted wma files in that you can play them on Windows or OS X using Apple software. Try playing an encrypted wma with Microsoft's Media Player for OS X.
I'm sorry, but how is adding an incoming port block on a firewall going to prevent using google? Serving up a quake server, maybe, but outgoing surfing and the like sure isn't going to stop him.
Blocking googls IPs isn't going to keep you from searching, but it will keep google off your site.
Example: A competitor that just happens to rank higher than you automatically drops packets from any IP that trys an invalid login.
You go through your logs and generate a list of all google's bots and then launch an "attack" against your competitor spoofing those IPs. You just stopped google from indexing their site. Move on to Yahoo and any other search engine you feel like.
Granted somebody is going to be watching the logs and start to wonder why google hasn't visited in a while, but you get the point.
This is just the reason that it is not ready for the desktop. When people start realizing that you can't fix problems by putting a program fix solution of slashdot, then the desktop may start getting somewhere. The solutions HAVE to be built in so that the non-techie user does not have to learn how to enter code.
I think we are misunderstanding each other, either I'm not getting what you are trying to say or you didn't get what I was saying.
Setting a margin = 0 for form elements is something that should be done by the person writing markup for the page, not the end user, although with custom style sheets you could do this your self.
The original poster was complaining about gecko adding white space around form elements and wanted to know if there was a fix;)
Firefox/Mozilla has it's share of rednering problems as well. Opening or closing a form tag automatically adds the equivalent of two . I would be more than happy if someone can correct me on this.
Try adding the following to your style sheet:
FORM { margin:0px; }
or adding style="margin:0px" to you form declaration.
Camino would be much better if it had adblocking. I'll just stick to Safari and PithHelmet I guess.
This is why I use Junkbuster as opposed to relying on a browser based system.
No matter what browser I decide to use Safari, Moz, Firefox, Camino or IE (shudder) I get the same filtering rules.
I tried Privoxy, but I found that for some odd reason it really slowed down local PHP scripts and since I use my PowerBook mostly for development I went back to Junkbuster.
If your data is really worth $100k, I would hope you have the common sense to test your backups and know there are no holes...
Also at the very minimum RAID 1 in addition to your tapes. Maybe an hourly, non-delete rsync to another machine also RAID 1, to cover the occasional user oops.
If you trust $100k worth of data to a single $175 IDE drive, you probably don't deserve the data to begin with;)
The strange thing about Brandt's withdrawal is that methadone is typically associated with treatment of heroin addiction. I don't think there are any performance-enhancing effects to methadone, and it's certainly a rare occurrence to hear of someone in professional athletics testing positive for it!
Methadone was used just like morphine for war victims who had severe injuries, or that were close to death. Methadone effectively numbed the pain of severe wounds, and for that reason spread quickly.
If you have ever cycled up a mountain, no not that little rise in the road, something where you gain 3000+ feet of elevation in a handful of miles. You would know that the pain in your legs can be extremely painful when you exceed your anerobic threshold. If you can ignore that pain you can go harder longer and therefore have an advantage. There are other things to help with this as well although I don't know if they are legal in the tour. I do remember this stuff wreaking havoc in my intestinal tract, but that was years ago.

While I admire your desire to be nice to the folks running Windows by not passing on infected messages...
Email anti-virus needs to be done by the server to be reliable. That way it doesn't matter who or where the infected message came from, if it has a virus it gets quarantined on the server, no bounce messages, just quarantined.
If someone was expecting something and it doesn't get through, you will hear about it and you can look into it to find that it has a virus and the sender needs to clean up their mess before it gets into your network.
The majority of the virus infected email I see in my quarantine is purely viral, I don't know that I have ever seen a "valid" email with a virus, but I tend to deal mostly with computer adept folks.
Not to mention how well the "pucker factor" is at holding you onto the seat when that "slight bend" in the road turns out to be more of a curve at 55+ mph...
While I used to agree with you. Why spend $50 less for 11GB less space...
There is a 6 week wait for these things as they can't get the parts and or build them fast enough.
As has been hashed out many times here before, they aren't competing with the $299 15GB iPod, they are competing with the $199 512MB flash players. Does it look like a better deal now?
As for the size, when you look at the numbers in print it doesn't seem that much smaller, when you hold one of each in your hand the size difference is significant.

Or you could actually shop around or go to bookpool, where it is $28.50 they don't show up on all book stores.

Gentoo has a LiveCD or pick a closer mirror.
I can't vouch for it though, I had their 1.4 LiveCD, but one of the Apple updates broke it and I haven't bothered to try again.

No more people on the freeway that don't understand that if you merge as a zipper, traffic continues to flow smoothly.
