the problem is if you are trying to make laws about something you have to have more then a laymans understanding of it in order to make the right decisions. making laws and regulations about something which you have little to no understanding about is a recipe for disaster.
i've never done it before, but i've heard from several people that it's not hard, the main thing is to read the upgrade guide and take note of any gotcha's. all it essentially does it replace much of the core OS files and builds a new kernel, then you reboot the system and all things going well, it works. of course the degree of complexity might vary depending on the apps your running and what they depend on, but that's all well documented.
britain is nothing like the rest of europe, in fact most countries within europe are nothing like each other. you use britain and europe as interchangable regions when they are not, british laws don't effect european countries. this fact obivously escapes you since your american and have no concept of the world past your own city block.
i would argue it's the school IT departments responsibility to prevent that ever happening. expecting non technical staff to trouble shoot spyware is over the top.
"this case isn't unlike a teacher who carries with him or her polaroids of a personal nature, and has one of them fall out of a jacket while in front of a classroom"
except it's NOTHING LIKE THAT, it's not her pictures, they were from software installed in secret without her knowledge, and when she discovered what had happened she attempted to get them removed and recieved no assitance. you can not remove the technology from the argument simply because your too dense to understand it, it's intergral to what happened.
it's already been established that spyware is what popped up the porn, so reguardless of HOW it got on there that should be enough to drop the child abuse charges right there. at worst she is guilty of violating school computer policys by viewing porn.besides, last i checked it was up to them to prove how she got the spyware on there in the first place, not just accuse her of viewing porn when she gives a perfectly good excuse for how it got there.
fuck the global warming comments, the comment that condoms don't belong in schools that caught my eye. does she still think her daughter is a virgin? would she be shocked to learn she is 100% likely to be masturbating? my jesus freak detector just blew a fuse.
your a fucking idiot. new line is trying to screw him out of money with creative accounting. peter brought them BILLIONS he only made a small % of what LOTR will bring in over it's life time.
i know the 5 years ahead thing had me in stiches. 5 years from now, even a cheap phone they give away with cheap phone plans will be better then this heap of junk
egotistical control freak, all apples products are like this. fuck you jobs if i buy something why shouldn't i be able to do what i want with it. i'm so sick of fuckers like him telling me what i want and whats good for me. his argument that a poorly written app could take down a cell phone network is so floored i hardly know where to start. \how about this - is he suggesting apple would never release software with bugs in it?
windows has perfectly good resource managment. limit -u won't stop a fork bomb grinding user space to a halt though. bottom line, no way to stop poorly written apps fucking up the users experience.
define "well secured" if you removed all functionality from the system then maybe, but desktops need the functionality i'd use to crash it eg. scripting languages like JS.
thats rubbish. i can write a program what would crash ANY OS if it was preloaded on there. i agree with the poster, MS does have it tough in these respects, that much of what oem's preload is bullshit that slows down the system.
my prediction, a nice fat check is heading cisco's way for the right to use the name iphone. cisco has them cold here, if i was apple i'd just eat it. a few million is nothing compared to what it's worth to use that name.
right the same way america is sucking the life out of the whole world. i'm not even british and i can see your just as much of a cluless dick as the previous guy.
you don't honestly think al gores film was objective reasearch on the issue do you? honestly it's whole point was doom and gloom, no one was going to watch a film "everythings ok"
the fact is, C02 isn't capable of producing enough warming to see these changes, and the maths on it shows this. by far the 2 greatest forces that effect our climate are water vapour and solar activity. i always love that they spout about 1998 - 2000 being the hottest on record, yet fail to mention most of that warming came from extra solar flare activity. it makes me wonder about these claims. frankly i think it's pretty concited to think we would be able put much of a dent in the planets atmosphere on a GLOBAL scale.

please stop making up lies to cover for apples poor attitude towards it's customers.
uh, you think antivirus software is a bad idea? you have no idea son. please quit the profession NOW.
shows how much he knows. publicly yes, just like in IT, but privately? when you got some cockhead client you can't stand, you have to vent somewhere.

i used to work in pathology, and the answer is ALL OF THEM.

no, they make it seem like they have already developed one.
another tech company crying to investment. take careful notice of the wording "designed" meaning they haven't made one yet.

hah, and what exactly are you going to install on it, if not OSX? fucking fanboys.

too many con artists use paypal. a few delayed payments is worth catching these scum.
