that this wasn't exploited, that is a difference, but only in the actions of the exploit discoverers.
re explaining to family members and friends -> true/. geeks don't let friends drive IE.
That in the very previous/. story about a Sun product vulnerability, the hackers get ripped, but when it's Microsoft, the software company gets ripped.
IE is the hole, into which are placed 'features' such as this exploit, tied to the feature called 'activex.' Remove these 'features' and all that is left is the nothingness that is a hole.
I'd be all over the produce section. I remember watching 'Kill the Wabbit' while standing in line for a rollercoaster at an amusement park years ago. It made waiting in line almost fun.
How about the Google Communications Commission? Google knows how to play the game with governments. Not meaning to post flamebait here, but Google's already pushed all the right buttons with both the FCC and China recently. I think that Google's got enough business presence to get the good treatment from the US gov.
Actually, your downloads counted towards the project activity. So you did contribute through your consistent and measurable interest in the latest binaries.
And I meant the thanks, take the compliment already.
Well, I'm honestly glad you didn't bleed to death while living on the edge long enough to single-handedly (I infer from your post) keeping the project alive. Really! Was my post so flammable?
But I do mean the thanks part to all the neander-geeks.
I would think that application developers would benefit from having a single, dual-boot system to develop in two flavors. Maybe this will benefit the Mac community by making it easier for resource-strapped app innovators to buy a macintel box that lets them server OSX and Windows app consumer markets.
T'was software(MSDOS) killed the beast(IBM)
Not exactly the same here, for sure, but dual boot users, currently a gnat on Dell's butt, to me seem similar to how clone builders and Microsoft seemed to Big Blue until it was way too late to defend the Gates(sic).
Gates actually has a clue about delivering connectivity and high-end computing to remote areas, maybe not in the 3rd world of Africa, but in the 3rd world of the US he has delivered infrastructure, computers and software to astoundingly poor school districts in the lowcountry of South Carolina. This effort was successful in raising educational levels so at least he can prove his way does work and he's done it already.
Or maybe Apple's paying him to develop and test the generic PC version of OSX, supporting the creep's increasing footprint, and giving them plausible deniability.
If this isn't true, it should be in my ignorant opinion.
About booting OSX86... Legalities aside, Apple keeps upping the arms race by changing the DRM of the application software SDKs used by developers. You can run OSX86, sure, but you'll have to constantly patch it to make anything run.
I'd think Apple would love it. They played no part in working out the solution, but now their hardware is the most versatile around for running the two desktop OSes I've wanted to have on one machine. Done deal, buying a mac.
Here's an example of what being certified does. Powervault Tape Juke gets stuck tape. With top level support contract I call Dell and tech here today if possible or I spend 15 minutes I don't have on phone with Tier3 tech support who we always get to call first. But by being certified I just call Dell parts and say 'I need this, ship it.' It comes overnight with prepaid return box.
Also, our low level techs out in field say 'box won't power up, what next?' I talk them through steps, decide its the power supply, and order the part, which comes next day. Nobody has to talk to Dell tech support if we feel we are sure we know the problem.
It does especially pay because of our installed volume keeping us off the phone with Dell all day long. It really speeds up things if you can save 15 minutes per failure keeping it in house.

for Google's corporate image. I wonder when Google makes the Dow Jones? Seems like how Google's stock goes is a big indicator of how the market goes.

Proves that 'If you build it, they will come.'

takes me back to the good old days when it was new, fresh, and charmingly not yet seemingly perfect, but so much the best choice!

This will already kill lots more stuff than just ipods: http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrill as/2006/01/weapons_the_rfi.html
is batteries, judging by my Pocket PC's black hole of power.
They won't be able to screw up power supply issues by using standard batteries.
Now just how do they expect to get Steve Jobs in their office?

Or so I have heard.
Rather than talk about what Microsoft and Apple think, I'd love to see the marketing department at Dell today.

Yes you can charge Dell! Part of the program is warranty service reimbursement for labor that you do.
