Riiiight. Just because some idiot alarmists say that the kernel has gone closed when it simply just hasn't been released yet, the media and clueless bloggers start crying that it's gone closed source. "Well... it hasn't. It's still open. IT JUST HASN'T BEEN RELEASED YET. OSNews is reporting that Ernest Prabhakar, Apple's Open Source and Open Standards product manager, has stated in the Fed-Talk mailing that Apple has not actually closed Mac OS X's Darwin kernel for the Intel version of the OS; they simply haven't released it yet. Speculation about Apple closing the kernel arose from the fact that other non-kernel Darwin sources actually have been released, and the previous PowerPC-based kernel is still available as open source as well.Ernest wanted to make sure that tech media didn't confuse 'speculation' with 'fact'.

If you uninstall and peer into the google/google desktop/ folder in program files (in winders of curse) You'll notice that GoogleDesktop.exe changes into Troubleshoot Network.exe. Running this program is supposed to reset network winsock settings from before the installation of GDS and a few other network fixes that 'may require you to reboot your comptuer'. So... I don't know how badly or on what machines you might want to play with this new beta on.
In the case of blogging.. I would have to say that intent should be what constitutes journalism. Think Secret and other apple rumor sites intent is aimed solely at obtaining private information about products and making it public before Apple decides to go public about it. That's closer to espionage than journalism. But in this case.. it's not another corporation who is after the information but rather the public... but it's the same idea. Obtaining private product data and disseminating it to a third party is not journalism in this case. I believe that the judge did the right thing.
There's too many uninformed idiots and groups like greenpeace (also under the grouping of uninformed idiots) who would rout against it, using aged, outdated and unapplicable disasters like three mile and chernobyl as examples (FUD) to worry the populace. With pebble bed reactors we could have so much cheap power safely created, I just don't think it will happen. I mean... look at who's -still- president somehow. Nukular reactors are morally wrong... right Georgy? And it would mean all his oil butt buddies would suffer!! OMG NOOOOO!!!!!1111oneoneoneeleventyone
China's doing it? France get's 90% of it's electical power from nuclear plants. They have for years and have never had an issue. And were supposed to be better than France..... right?

You need a better client. Jabber networks don't alert when you remove a buddy. I've been using jabber for about 4 years now and have never seen this occur. As far as I know MSN or maybe messenger are the only two messenger networks that do this. Just because you're connecting to these networks with a client that supports jabber doesn't mean that its all jabbers fault etc etc.
Seen it.. used it.. sucks. (for gaming anyway)
My buddy got one a few months ago thinking the same thing. Luckily... he was able to take it back.

I've actually worked with Robert Marsh before. Do not even bother noticing this event. Where morals and ethics are involved, Mr. Marsh is a sailer, deep in the Atlantic, without a compass. I have seen him award employees (in person) for their "excellent customer service" skills in cash (in front of the entire company) only to have someone from finance force them to sign an agreement two days later that allows EV1 to add the award to their paycheck, remove it and then tax them for it (I guess $10,000 tax free in gift's a year isn't enough when it's going towards some mustangs huh Robert?). Or better yet, giving $1,000 to say three families whose entire lives were mangled by a pretty nasty flood in Houston, sending an email out to all your customers saying "Hey.. look what good guys we are, people that work here had problems just like you guys and we're helping them out, back patting all around!" Then, again, doing an about-face about three weeks later and saying "Oh yeah.. that uh.. thousand dollars? Yeah.. well most of that was a loan.. but that's ok! We can slowly take it out of your pay check until you pay us back." Yes, it may have been nice to do this to begin with, but you don't brag to all your customers that you -gave- these families a thousand dollars and then take most of it back from them. That has to be criminal on some level. Why didn't you tell your customers about that Robert? That you made most of it a loan? Anyway... I'm sure George or someone over at EV1 is seeing this. Just wanted to say that you guys actually made it fun and I still can't understand how Marsh got it to stay up this long.
Jebsu man. This guy is pathetic. Three major points I can think of:
1) Mach Kernel
2) Apt
3) Usable command line interface
These three things alone have made XP (and longhorn 4051) several years behind. Couple that with the intense amount of ported and free software available for OS X... geez man- OS X beta smacks XP down on it's ass.
I'm not a mac enthusiast.. hell I can't even afford one.. and I game alot.. so I'm pretty much forced into the XP market. Just remember.. there's something to be said when an OS limits uptime to a 32-bit number (NT Kernel based OS's)... it's an admission that the OS isn't intended to keep working.

Indeed.. some of the best sci-fi available. And yeah.. the Endymion pair were disappointing for so epic a storyline. Man.. if I could only find another copy of Hyperion Cantos, hardback of both Hyperion and Fall of Hyperion together. Mines falling apart and taped together like some desperate mans bible. You can actually read a book to it's death. ( C;

Title: Hyperion
Author(s): Dan Simmons
ISBN: 0747234825
Publisher: Headline
That's the first one, paperback. If anyone else here has read it.. I don't think I need to say much. I'll warn you.. it starts out a bit slow, but rewards you heavily. The first two in the series of four, Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion are in my opinion some of the best science fiction you can find. The last two (taking place several hundreds of years later than the original) are also very good, but dont beat out the first two. Last two are Endymion and The Rise of Endymion. Names sound somewhat familiar? The book rests heavily on some of the more obscure writings of John Keats, yet take place thousands of years in the future. Man has ceased searching for God and in doing so has ventured to create it's own... (but this is in the past from the books perspective.) During the time frame of the book, now the machines have come against the same quandry and created their own God.. the UI or Ultimate Intelligence, capable of predicting events with a 99.9999% accuracy.. so whats the 0.1111%? Seven pilgrims and a planet called Hyperion. (Canterbury Tales on crack and whippits). Not really.. but.. my god. I couldn't scratch the surface of the story line without several hundred pages. These books will keep you coming back over and over again. The technology and the philosophy behind the technology and it's relation to humanity are awesome. Spins your head.
Good stuff.

I've discovered SCO's secret weapon... and if I'm not judging incorrectly, they may even come after slashdot.
It appears as though "/" is the intellectual property of SCO. See.. that's why they can't really go after MS, they just don't want anyone to know so they can try and scare them into giving them large amounts of money.
My God. They really have their stuff together, don't they.
Anon Coward... what? Can't get a login.. afeared are ye? Stupid? Are you illiterate? Have you not seen the DMCA go after people for providing links and information on where to just FIND information on circumnavigating copyrighting, etc?
