That reminds me of the time Microsoft released Word 6 for Mac and Windows, at the time Word for Windows was rather backwards while Word 5 for the Mac was one of the greatest word-processors around though starting to catch some bloat. Word 6 for the Mac ended up being one of the worst apps ever released for the Mac. It was slow, bloated, looked fugly and ran in something akin to an emulated environment.
You can sorta see the toolbar bloat progression here.
How about if your account has been suspended due to lack of paid days?
My account is currently waiting for the banks to get their acts together. Will I have Eidetic Memory 5 (what I was training for when it was suspended) when I get back? I was suspended on Monday.
What percentage of the currently active and spreading Windows worms and viruses use the current Windows Shell to propogate and as the initial point of entry into the system? Isn't it premature to pull a 'feature' due to a proof-of-concept on a pre-release...
If only Microsoft used this policy with all their other 'features', Windows might actually be fast and useable...
Yah, that what I'm thinking, what sort of exploits can you shove into the system to make it kill it-self.
Doesn't matter if they have backups and redundancies, it will still slow what ever operations the systems are running down a tad (or at the least make it less efficient.)
These drives aren't aimed at destroying it's contents from a remote attack, they are for when the drive is about to be physically removed from it's environs (or a similar situation.)
Practically no system is secure from an attack by someone who knows what they are doing when that person is in front of it. Does not matter if it's a Mac, Linux, OpenBSD, etc.

The battery looks to be a lump of Lithium polymer, other than that, can't really tell anything else about the device. Since they have practically ruined the device, why didn't they go the whole hog and pull off the black plastic covering a few of the components on there...
Kim Stanley Robinson tackled many of these issues in his Mars Trilogy. I couldn't beleive it when I saw this headline, I'm certain some of the thoughts from that series has affected a great many Mars enthusiast...
We might have Reds vs. Greens before we even go there...
Other than this post, did you bother clicking one of the radio buttons and sending Apple a little comment about how the article was ambiguous/hard to understand?
It seems to be a lowend web 'artist' mentality. I don't want any one to steal my graphic|poetry|yaddayadda, so I'll apply a really really crappy script to stop people copying my work. It doesn't work, but eh...they are happy, and we are slightly disadvantaged, until we get around it within two seconds...
The TH55 has my vote, it has a 320*480 screen, while it does not natively support landscape viewing, PalmReader and TealDoc, two excellent document viewers have their own landscape mode. Battery life is excellent, it has built-in wi-fi (and bluetooth if you purchase a European model), a crisp high-res reflective screen (meaning you can switch off the backlight and reflect what ever light is around to further prolong battery life), is nicely thin and sexy;)
Excusing the sentence where I presume you meant to disagree with me but didn't. Though...
So do Macs. The fact that it was fished out, and worked into something many people will admire is something that very very rarely happens to old x86 machines. Had the innards of the Cube been working, I'm certain they would be in use, like the millions of other old macs that millions of people use every day. I can't think of many people that would use a 486 as any thing else other than a basic gateway/router, and most would not bother with a 486 and use some relatively early Pentium instead. On the other hand I know of many people that regularly use their 040 based Macs as a mini web terminal. Any one can throw a machine away, any decent hoarding geek will pickup a piece of tech that has been thrown into the trash, reclaimed x86 machines might get used as yet another server, but so will reclaimed Macs. The difference is that some of the completely dead reclaimed Macs will end up as 'art,' while the completely dead x86 machines will end up back in the trash.

I love how two of the solutions for Windows involve Perl.
Just for completeness sakes... Apple called their 1.44MB floppy a SuperDrive way back when...

Cool, thanks. Makes me feel slightly less annoyed at not being able to log in. :)
Another Q. how about agent research missions?
In EVE, I sort-of do have a day job. I'm heading towards career in Science, and I'm currently doing reseach for a few NPC Agents.
Well, I would be if the damn banks would hurry up and pass my payment on.

The one in the article doesn't actually work as a Microwave.
Building a PC in the same case as a Microwave could present interesting issues. I'd say no WiFi at the least...

If other LiveJournal users ever found out you post here Brad, /. might end up with 5000+ replies to everyone of your posts :p
:)
Other than that, cheers and keep up the good work
6000? They have over five million members, with half of those active...
I can see the parallels between 2p2 and a 'swarm'...
Even if it is a screening company, it's name does imply some sort of association with decentralisation...
With Alston (world's biggest luddite, for a time AU Communications Minister) leaving for the UK, and Family First promises to keep, I'm really surprised this happened...

Ever read the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson? :D
There is a character by the name of 'Coyote' that shares you views

...how you'd protect the DNA from radiation.
The same way that a human habitat on the moon would be protected. A metric shitload of rock.
