I was actually thinking of trying it out the other day, but my paranoia about closed source shareware held me back (I know, the mac is largely closed too, but I trust Apple more than some random person).
This morning, I made a request to Apple that they remove the link from their downloads page. Anyone can do that here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
Booby traps are illegal because they can interfere with emergency workers (EMTs, police, firemen).
You are so wrong it is amazing.
A homeowner is limited in what he can do to protect his family and property from trespassers. The homeowner cannot shoot children who keep cutting across the lawn or set traps or deadly spring-operated guns to kill anyone who trespasses on the property. Deadly force in any manner is generally not justifiable except in self-defense while preventing a violent felony. Mere trespass is not a felony.
It would make sense if it was them. You put up no capital investment to have this. You're simply buying power from them like you would your utility. The entity that risks some money should be the one to get the tax credit.
Undoubtedly it will provide core PDA functions that work with macs. I can't imagine it otherwise.
Where they lose me is in the area of applications. Will there be a encrypted notepad? Nothing can really take the place of an encrypted password list on a PDA. My PDA died a while ago and I was hoping to combine the phone and PDA. As it is now, it's a real pain to drag out whatever computer has the most current password list on it (I try to keep a list on my various computers but it's always out of sync). Aside from that, I want a plain old shell with various apps, like the essential SSH. These things may or may not be on Apple's priority list, but they are on someone's. With the OpenMoko, people can make an application and sell or give it away. With Apple's phone, it remains to be seen whether that natural software ecosystem will develop. It certainly sounds like it will not.
Personally, after the initial excitement wore off, I decided to wait to see if OpenMoko's phone is going to be all it seems it could be. Apple lost me when they took a perfectly good computing device and made it phone+music player with some PDA functions tacked. Go ahead an mod me troll, but I've got a stack of apple laptops. I buy stuff for its value and Apple's stuff often packs good value. Not the iPhone though -- I don't see the value there.
I'd like to add to this as one of those who once tried farm labor as a high-school summer job in 1984 or 5. In my area of Washington state, there are lots of berry farms, strawberries in particular. Back then, it was common for high school kids to work the fields in the summer for spending money. We even got transported to the fields in school buses -- it was pretty well organized. I was probably 14, not fat, decent shape and all that. I worked two days and quit. My entire body ached so much, it wasn't even remotely worth it to me. Currently, most of the berry picking is being done by migrant labor because it's so much easier for local kids to get a much less demanding job that pays more money (our min wage is over $7/hr).
I wonder if there are any actual stats on this because I just don't believe it. Well, maybe I believe it but I certainly prefer to scroll. It requires no aiming of the pointer and clicking - just grab the mouse, have it inside the window I want to scroll (a big target), and then scroll. Scrolling is too easy to get such short shrift.
I'm actually surprised at the apathy shown towards the Bank of America fiasco of exploiting loopholes in the law to allow them to open accounts and credit cards for illegal aliens!!
Maybe people don't consider this to be a big issue.
The printer I mention above also has an integrated drum/toner cart. I just punch a hole the toner area, fill it up, and then put in a plug. The hole punch is a soldering iron with an "O" shaped tip, and the plugs come with my toner order. It about 3.2 minutes to punch the hole (3 minutes to warm up, a few seconds to punch it, set down the iron, and unplug it) and of course, this need be done only once -- use the same hole in subsequent refills. It then takes a minute or two to refill the cart and replace the hole plug. I never refilled ink cartridges, but refilling a toner/drum cart is pretty painless.
If you only print 50 pages per year, the standard cartridge that comes with an el-cheapo laserjet would last about till retirement age. Think of that -- never buy ink/toner again. There was a time I went about 5 years without changing the cart in my HP Laserjet 4L. Toner doesn't go bad at the rate ink does. If you have spend $30/year unclogging your printer, you'll still save money with a laser jet.
Plus when it comes toime to refill in case you ever do start printing more, you can try something like "tonerrefillkits.com". As an example, we do that for the office printer. You can generally refill a cartridge 3 times before the drum wears out. A new cartridge (17.5k pages) is about $180. A bottle of toner around $50. So for $330, we get 70k page prints. The cost is much cheaper for little printers of course (perhaps not on a per page basis, but on a per cart/refill basis -- you're still looking at 2500-3500 pages even with little carts).
In the US, the basic standard is both sides pay their own costs and attorney fees. There are exceptions to the general rule in certain circumstances, for example, a statute might allow fee shifting in certain kinds of cases, suits deemed frivolous under the court rules may also result in fee shifting. So anyway, you should rewrite the code so that the default is not fee shifting, with exceptions that provide for fee shifting.
Police caught onto Kline after a Canadian computer whiz hacked into the judge's Irvine home computer and discovered sexually explicit images of young boys and a diary that revealed Kline's fantasies involving young boys. A subsequent search of his court computer revealed more images and more Web sites.
Brad Willman, the Canadian hacker, forwarded the information to an anti-pedophile watchdog group, which then sent the information to Irvine police detectives.
From TFA. It sure sounds like Brad viewed the images although I suppose if you want to be pedantic, you could say he assumed they were illegal based on filenames. I just doubt that.
Obviously, the possession laws don't apply to the police. They are considered confiscators, not possessors. For example, cops find a joint on someone, collect the evidence, and arrest the person. They aren't in possession of marijuana in the illegal sense, they are in possession in confiscatory sense.
Yes you are missing something. How did the kid know that the pictures were child-porn? From the names? By just taking a flying guess that they were? Unlikely. Chances are he viewed them. Obviously, he didn't break into people's homes and sit at their machines. He did this remotely. This means the data streamed across the net and landed in his computer and then was displayed on his screen. So yes, vigilante also possessed the child-porn, at least for a moment or two.
I see the "generally" there but, I'm presently having good luck with my voip box connected to a color ibook (802.11b, no "g") which is acting as a WEP encrypted wireless bridge/music player. My phone works fine, despite a lot of jumps:
voip_box -> g3_ibook_wireless -> wireless_router -> firewall -> cable_modem -> internet
By the same token, I've had voip boxes from a different much more famous company connected directly to my network connection and had terrible service. I suspect that VOIP over wireless has much more to do with a company's programming/hardware skills than with WiFi itself.

With a 100 sale floor on reporting, I think you're safe. Unless you happened to buy 101 of those DVD players way back in 2001.
It's scary to think it wouldn't be bulletproof at all especially when Apple is actually listing this software:a yeater.html

Yeah, but the automatic only has four speeds.
That system is already in place. It's called a loan. You get a loan, buy the equipment, and pay it back at flat rate (probably at least).

Or even laudable.
You actually worried about your cabbage picking job that much?

There was a Quincy episode with that same plot line many ages ago. Quincy figured it out though so don't rely on that plan too much.
Have you been reading Kage Baker's "Company" series?

Oops, wrong link. Just search for "basis" though and you'll see that "bases" is the plural form (say "basees")
Everyone is putting "bases" in quotes, but that is actually the plural form of basis.

By "property" I was referring to airwaves, not ground.
