Actually, VM does offer a similar feature to coherance mode. It is called Unity.
It hides windows like coherance... but even better, the application shows up on my dock.
I've added a few windows apps to my doc and now I can launch them directly by clicking on the dock icon and typing in my admin password to launch fusion.
No. The Y chromosome is only distinct in that the millions of folks who share the same one I have is different from the billions on the planet.
Having worked in the legal system for a time, I know a bit about how dna is used to identify people. If a prosecutor tried using this data to identify someone in a criminal case, they would be laughed out of court.
There are simply too many other people who have the profile to be used to identify any single person. Once again, you need to understand the science.
There are plenty of real privacy issues for you to be concerned about. This issue is NOT one of them.
Once again, you're missing the point. But that doesn't surprise me since instead of debating my point, you make a personal attack on me.
The reality is that the Y chromosome I carry is essentially identical to the one carried by a distant male ancestor of mine who lived 23,000 years ago. (Yes. I've already done one of these tests)
That means there are literally millions of folks with the exact same Y chromosome as mine. So, explain to me how that data is going to be useful in identifying little old me?
>> I'll question "the only way", but you're straw-manning me;
Funny. I thought you were straw-manning genealogists in general. I don't have any famous relatives or ancestors. Most of my own folks were poor. The biggest claim to fame any of my own ancestors had is the one guy listed in "Libby's History of New England" as the town drunk for Kennebec, Maine.
I do family history research because it makes history in general more real to me to see how my own family may have been affected by it.
The Civil War is much more interesting to me after discovering that one of my ancestors was a corporal in the 4th Michigan Infantry and died from dysentery. Hardly any glory there. But it certainly makes it interesting to me.
I think you should check some of your own assumptions about the motives and reasons people participate in this hobby.
You guys are mistaking the DNA profile with your Y-chromosome profile.
THEY ARE NOT PUBLISHING YOUR GENOME.
The only thing they are going to publish is the Y-chromosome (or mitochondrial DNA for women) of the folks taking part. This information isn't unique at all.
My own Y Chromosome is nearly, if not exactly, identical to my great, great, great, great grandfather's. There are potentially millions of other people with the same exact profile. That's how they're making matches by comparing the results and seeing who matches.
I think the largest of these companies doing this is familytreedna. They've got about 99,0000 samples. But only about 22,000 that are distinct. Heck, even the national geographic society is doing this now.
I repeat. THEY ARE NOT PUBLISHING YOUR GENOME (just the y-chromosome for me and the mitochondrial dna for women).
I know the privacy fanatics are ready to go nuts over this. But before engaging luddite mode, please know what this test is and what it is not.
Well, if you think the point of jail is to rehabilitate, that might be true.
But if you think the point of jail is to punish the perp and to keep them away from the rest of us so they can't repeat the crime... Then, yeah, that is sort of the point of sending someone to jail.
Either most posters here have missed the point of the article, or didn't bother to read it.
He's not saying Apple will win larger market share than Microsoft.
He's saying that Apple could capture the most valuable part of it, those willing to pay a high-end premium for their machines.
The premise of the article is that Dell and other pc makers would be left selling very, very low-profit computers. (which from a business stand-point, is not a good business to be in)
This has nothing to do with game computers or those willing to build their own boxes.
I don't understand how this organization can demand that Apple open up it's DRM so music from iTunes can be played on other MP3 players --- but not also demand that Microsoft and pc softward developers open up the Windows APIs so that applications designed to run on Windows can be played without modification on Linux and Mac OS X computers...
The way I see it it really is the same thing. I have a Mac (sub non-ipod MP3 player) that doesn't run Windows applications (sub Apple DRM music files), I really, really want to be able to run these applications (music files) on my Mac (non-ipod Mp3). Why doesn't this organization demand that all Windows applications be able to run on other platforms?
You wouldn't want to go to war to stop a dictator from murdering thousands of his own people (Saddam in Iraq)... but you would advocate war with the United States (and world war III) because the U.S. won't hand over control over the Internet's root servers?
But in the United States, the FCC allows public use of the 2.4 GHz band for wireless.
The wireless network is unsecured and broadcasting on the 2.4 GHz band.
The 'hacker' is either on a public street or on his or her own property. (it would be different if you parked in the driveway of the home providing the Access Point)
The same 'hacker' is accessing a radio spectrum from which the FCC has allowed public access.
I just don't see the crime here. The only real aggrieved party would be the company providing the broadband.
Well, I'd hardly call Apple a "failed business." This so-called failed business has more than $5 billion in cash reserves. The stock is up. It's just come off one of its best financial quarters ever.
The fact is that most of the folks complaining that OS X won't run on generic hardware are folks who want to run OS X on their own hardware.
My guess is that most of these same people wouldn't bother paying for the OS either. They'd just pirate it.
Apple is taking the steps announced because it makes the most sense for it's business. It is a hardware company. That is where it makes its money.
If they stopped selling hardware, they'd go broke in no time at all, not to mention that there would be no R&D money available to upgrade the OS.
>>It was reportedly also based largely (and loosely) on the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS / Mormon's)...
Yeah. Apparently, Cobol is the planet where Mormons claim that the god of this planet originated. It's a long story... but essentially, they believe god to be a big man who became a god by following certain principals only revealed by the LDS church.
As a result, they think they too can become gods someday, if they follow the LDS church rules and rituals (they'll even get their own planet to rule and will have plural wives in the afterlife. They believe in one god (for this earth), but they believe there are many gods in the universe.
Well, it makes no sense, from a business standpoint, for Apple to not allow Intel-Macs to run Windows.
I know it's heresy to say it, but there are people out there who like Apple hardware, but would prefer running Windows.
I would not be one of those folks.
But Apple makes the same money on a Mac that ends up running Windows as it does on a Mac that ends up running OS X.
Besides that, there are hordes of people who would consider buying a Mac knowing that if they decided they don't like the new OS, they can always go back to running Windows.
I think this is where Apple is finally going to see real increases in its marketshare.
I know many PC users who would pay more to buy an Apple made computer that could run Windows and OS X.
In the past, efforts to get folks to switch were stymied because once you purchased a Mac, there really was no going back. You couldn't run Windows natively on your new hardware, if you decided that swtiching was a mistake.

>>News flash, you missed the point.>They will still push IBM boxes with either Linux or Windows
News Flash. IBM doesn't sell PCs anymore.
They sold the Business to Lenovo. THAT company still sells computers under the IBM brand name.
But the computers are not IBM computers and therefore the company can be fairly agnostic about whether to support one platform or another.
This kid has a gold mine at his hands!
If he could mass produce this and modify the cannon a bit, he has the makings of the ultimate Paintball game.
The heck with these light-infantry paint ball games! I wanna be Patton!
Dover never had bombers based there. It is/was a Mac (military airlift command) base, not a SAC (strategic air command) base.
Dover AFB has always been C-5 focused. The C141s have been/are being put out to pasture, replaced by C17s.
I'm a huge space proponent...
But it is not like the U.S. Government won't have all sorts of other debts to pay when the Afghan/Iraq wars end.
Let's try Social Security and Medicare to start.
These two programs are all slated to start running in the red decades before any Mars mission.
The other 50 percent are too dumb to know that "to" is a direct preposition.

I for one prefer Saltines (though cheesits are pretty good too).
Well, I just googled it and discovered I was wrong. The opposite is true. Schizophrenics tend to have lower activity in the frontal lobe area.
Sorry for the incorrect posting.
uh.... If I recall, schizophrenics also show increased brain activities in the frontal lobe area.
Increased activity != Increased intelligence.
So...
You wouldn't want to go to war to stop a dictator from murdering thousands of his own people (Saddam in Iraq)... but you would advocate war with the United States (and world war III) because the U.S. won't hand over control over the Internet's root servers?
hmmmmm.
I know it's not a free download...
But there already is an easy to use BSD for the desktop. It's called Mac OS X.
Yes. Yes. I know it only runs on Apple hardware (at this point).
I know this story comes out of the UK...
But in the United States, the FCC allows public use of the 2.4 GHz band for wireless.
