I hate when people try to justify socialism or communism.
How do you KNOW 100% that the seat belt laws work, or that helmut laws work? The ONLY thing that is known is that it raises revenues for police departments.
It serves to add confusion to honesty. There ARE instances where it's OK not to have on a helmut on and there ARE instances where you may not have your seat belt on (ie, getting your wallet out or scratching your unmentionables) - you want to have to go and explain that in court? You want the judge to believe you?
I'm in agreeance with points 6, 7, and 8. but the others are nonsense and then justified with "right and privelege talk" - it is MY right to do whatever I want in this country - it is MY responsibility to make others safe and NOT infringe on the well being and laws of this country!
Linux has the "obscurity factor" amongst the psyche.
Mac OS has the "obscurity factor" BUT (and it's a big but) - it is commercially available and known for a very high quality/zero virus/low maintenance - hardware and software - Linux doesn't yet have a SINGLE company that has a commercially successful hardware line AND software line.
+ Macs can run Linux too - even better in some cases - which means one could potentially have a QUASI QUAD BOOT system
Virtual PC = Windows Variants Linux = Linux PPC or YellowDog Mac OS X Mac OS 9
Heck older Macs even boot BEOS well.
**TROLLS - please don't put Intego's FUD trojan alert
Speaking of annoying ring tones..I used to have the knight rider theme, then one day my phone randomly reset to the classic rotary phone sound. Everyone that hears it thinks it's really cool. It's a really well done tone.
The most annoying sound is people who have holiday songs turned all the way up. For instance - we wish you a merry christmas going off in Lord Of The Rings!!!
On last night's show - 60 MINUTES claimed that India has the highest percentage of AIDS cases in the world, overtaking Africa.
What I would like included in such a documentary is what the effect of outsourcing to India has on the effect of "bringing diseases back home"?
It seems a lot of executives in India are starting to get infected - so in turn wouldn't those executives and "American workers" that may travel there have a higher susceptability to contracting the AIDs virus?
overrated?
Something found on the Intego website:
http://adzoox.com/shamefulintego.jpg
You can see it there - Intego is A)based overseas and B) slashdotted right now - this is why I have it hosted on my site
This is a good thing. Back in the day - I wanted our english/journalism class in high school to see "Shawshank Redemption" but we couldn't because of the language. If this DVD player would have been around - we'd have been able to watch it and watch "glory" in History class as well.
I swear this isn't a shameless plug but I wrote an article on my website a few weeks back called, "Mac Fanatics cause iVirus"
One of the points I make is that Mac users were actually hit by the Sobig and Modoom virus(s) because they were email propogation worms - Macs get email.... so.... email was FAR exceeding normal SPAM the few days of propogation.
I also said that mac lovers bragging about no mac viruses may be asking for it to happen... even prompting it.
Sony is like the Microsoft of Japan. Billboards dominate the streets. They certainly dominate the media and the advertising dollar there. Interesting how they would "raid" a US company who, to me, seems no more guilty than the dominant player there. It also lends creedance to revenge - seeing as Sony recently made a HUGE order of Transmeta Chips and didn't go with intel version of the ARM processor.
Japan is NOT "a 3rd world country". Third World implies poverty and poor economics or low industrialization / no impedance of pop culture. If ANY country on the planet is JUST the opposite of this and most every assumption you made - it IS Japan.
Japan = dominance/consumerism/capatalism/pop culture - EACH to the most extreme.
I would agree - I would also caution editors about story submission favoratism and just outright copying story submissions.
Slashdot editors, as of late, have also been "harassing us" with political speech - Bush/Republican bashing - it only serves as preaching to the choir. Tech unites us here on Slashdot, politics - most often divide us.
This was a really good story. I hope more libraries, internet cafes, and wifi hotspots will monitor their traffic occasionally like this guy did.
One line I liked, in particular:
"What have I learned? Firstly, digging up evidence on criminals is an
exciting activity. "
This is the sentiment I have over my jackwhispers.com website. The deconstruction of the criminal mind is very fascinating - particularly when it involves a technical computer issue.
I remember seeing a video of the IBM plant where the chips in the Power4 and Power5 family are made (aka G5 for Apple) - I thought I saw that the chips were submerged in a liquid and this reduced the need for "clean rooms" - although this could have been a "negative wash" to clean the wafers.
I was given the name jackwhispers.com by a group of anonymous people. They gave me the address to report on Jack Campbell. I have since rolled the domain and contents into my own website, but I still have NO IDEA WHATSOEVER as to who registered it. I got an anonymous email telling me the domain had been registered for 7 years and that I had editing priveleges. Thing is, I didn't get any other information. I have no way to access the registry information.
The information is inaccurate... what do I do in a case like this?
The site that picture originates from (The Apple Collection) says the picture is from SpyMac which has been a VERY elaborate April Fool's Day joke for 3 years.
SpyMac moderators are horrendous trolls that scour the web looking for anything debunking the site.
SpyMac is the haven for just about EVERYONE in the scamming side of the Mac Community - it caters to them.
SpyMac also perpetrated the iWalk.
Sounds like I have a bone to pick with them - no not really - it's just a real eye candy that leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
I was able to uncover a lot of dirt about Jack Campbell for my website Jackwhispers - he was (is?) a prominent member there.
The more code that is added to Safari the more unstable and slower it can get.
This sounds like a great feature, but like tabs (which is very helpful) - few people will use it to it's potential.
I think Apple needs to concentrate on being faster and more stable - I really even wish they would remove some features from Safari - when explaining ANY browser nowadays to my LEAP program classes (who are mostly elderly) - it is difficult, at best, to explain ALL the features - something you HAVE to do so they won't be confused and know where to go to set preferences, etc...
I also would like Apple to remember thet their core is only as good as the bushel - meaning - I would like Apple to realize that Opera, iCab, and Ominiweb give Apple the appearance of broader support - therefore, these should be features for those browsers to integrate - features people should want to pay for if they use them.
I think this has been a long time coming especially because of the "iPod frenzy" on eBay - but someone should create a website that registers serial numbers for iPods. An eBay and Yahoo auction database should check against this database for stolen iPods before the sale can complete.
Technically I think this would be a neat feature Apple could integrate into.Mac for all it's products.
I think these high living SPAM execs salaries should be as well known as say Apple Computer's compensation for Steve Jobs. You can almost gaurantee that these people don't report their full income on taxes or "do creative accounting" like - every penis enlargement pill that DOESN'T sell from an email solicitation - is actually a loss - justifying it by saying the record industry says that every download = a lost sale.
I would like to see the people that waste our time get what's due to them - spending every hour of my wasted time in court and in jail!
It reminds me of my favorite classic Star Trek episode. They visit a planet that has warring races. Captain Kirk brings a leader from each side onto the Enterprise to negotiate a peace treaty - they refuse to get along. Finally, Kirk says, "You know, I don't understand, you guys seem to really like each other and not have any differences at all... so what's wrong?" One leader says, "I thought you knew, it's so obvious, Kirk I am offended... is that question a joke? Can't you see, he's black on the left side of his face and I'm black on the right side of my face." When standing opposite each other you didn't notice, but side by side you could.
Point is - debate politics but don't polarize your friends and ESPECIALLY try not brainwash or force your political agenda down people's throats. I'm wondering if my obviousness of conservative or Republican belief has anything to do with my story submissions being rejected or accepted.

I use it to precisely control time code in DVD Studio Pro + don't forget it can cut a Macintosh on... you can line up up to 8 of them in parallel and use EACH ONE seperately for a different task.
I have been told by the people who are using it with Garageband that having multiple units is almost a necccesity.
See the software and firmware download section at Griffin for details.
A company called MacMice used to sell a thing called the "Matedeck" that organized PowerMates into a nice little hub.

Interesting - looks like there my be a patent infringement in the works here. The Griffin PowerMate is a super useful product for video and time code manipulation.
DVorak is and was the "one" who always tried to put a death nail in Apple. He would say every couple of months they were dying. He also announced the death of firewire - well - that was BEFORE the killer hardware applications like the iSight and iPod.
He was really off base with a lot of his commentary - but it was interesting to hear.
I believe Apple had a key role in he and that obnoxious "loderback" guy getting off the air at Tech TV.
Can anyone tell me too why they think Morgan Webb is so pretty? She has that "down's syndrome" look - IMHO.
Also the chemistry between show hosts is SO fake it's comical - Patrick and Leo (screensavers) - try too hard to bee funny - Leo Laporte is a good guy and knowledgeable - Patrick is just an "a**"
Where is the emmy winning show "eye drops"?
I do agree with other posts here - they steal a lot from slashdot - but to be fair they've had Taco on a few times I think.
... and release iTunes for Linux - and have the iTunes Music Store on the "other percentage" of computers as well. This would - I'm sure - make HP very happy and sort of give them the "killer app" on Linux PC distribution - and bolster their own partnership with Apple, the hPod, and iTunes.
