once i discovered that i could get a portable cd player that plays mp4 files, for less than $50, i sold my 5 gig ipod right away, while it still had some value. this is the one time you probably want to get the insurance from best buy or circuit city. cd players crap out all the time... i think my friend bought 3 years of insurance for either 15 or 30, and he used it twice.
i don't know if any of them have decent browsing capabilities though (sort by artist, album, et cetera)... anyone know of any?
now when they can read dvds that would be truly great!
safari 1.2 now finally has liveconnect. does anyone know if liveconnect has made its way into Konqueror? i've searched around on the web but i haven't come up with anything that seems official.
I think the main problem is that under american law corporations have the rights of individuals. a huge corporation of hundreds of people is not able to act with the ethics and prudence of a single person, but under the law it does have that right. it does not, however, have the responsibility. if a corporation's product kills someone, the corporation (or not even the business unit) does not "go to jail" or "get executed" in the manner of, say, dissolving its assets, or firing all or significant parts of the management and replacing it. instead it either merely pays damages, or sometimes they find a scapegoat employee to fire and/or send to jail.
human nature is to live and to be ethical (for the most part) toward others. corporate nature is to make as much money as possible within the system it is working. everything else is, really, not even considered.
i'm not saying the notion of profit corporations is evil, i am saying any collection of hundreds or thousands of people is huge and clumsy, and when it is given too many liberties it will automatically act evil.
that said, i also think apple is amongst the best behaving corporations there are, for its size. having a mostly open source OS and using open standards as often as possible are leaps and bounds ahead of any other profit platform.
i would even go as far as to say that they consistently put powerful tools in the hands of the little people. someone with more domain knowledge correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't final cut express and logic express immensely powerful for their price? i remember when final cut pro 4 (i think) came out (for $1k), people were saying that it offered most of the features of $10k or $20k systems from Avid.
check this site out. you can look up the history of various companies to see if they are evil or nice or somewhere in between (it's usually pretty polar though.. i think the only bad thing on there for apple is it bough steve an 80 million dollar jet:-).
I was just going to raise this same point. Of course I am guessing that there must be some features that phpMyAdmin doesn't have... I hope independence from php wasn't a main motivation of the project.
That said, can anyone give us a quick and dirty feature comparison of the two tools?
well, the easiest way would be for the DDoS target (in this case microsoft) to log the IPS of machines participating in the attack and send the list to appropriate ISPs.
this is LiveConnect
I'm actually not totally familiar with its history but i know it's used by the Flash plugin to be able to talk to browser windows. Does anyone have any good examples of where it is useful for Java applets or anywhere else?
these two features have been annoyingly absent from safari since it came out and now they are finally here.
i wonder if/when the liveconnect code will trickle back up to konqueror (or is that where it came from in the first place? does konqueror have liveconnect now?)

"CAN-2003-0693" refers to the vulnerability.
(Does OSX still have TextEdit?)

Yes, and in 10.3 it can read and write
i have "p" aliased to "pico -w" perfect for jumping in and out of a file for some quick changes.
