MacAfee is who I blame for the first, ever, loss of a hard drive to improper worm detection and deletion.
Thanks guys!... Nope, didn't need *that* data...
Seriously, I think back to the mid to late 90s when viruses were becoming more prevalent. MacAfee always seemed to be the first ones that came out with a fix usually within hours to days after it being announced. That seemed strange to me because of the timeliness of such fixes. It almost seemed as if the stuff was being launched by well known software producers only to generate sales and essentially create the need for virus protection.
I know it may not really be that way, but I know that other people have felt this way and said the same things about them and other anti-virus companies.
As for attacking the Open Source Model, all I can say is find some thing else ot go pick on.
It's intentionally our fault that years of hard work have kept a lot of us off your virus definition update list.
Why? Priced right. Feature rich. Linux under the hood. Capable of supporting 16 separate networks per AP/Controller. Radius authentication. Active Directory integratable. Etc. Switches, routers, full spectrum industrial wireless solution hardware provider.

Ice works in mysterious ways, but not that mysterious. Microscopic fractures in the ice, at any point, can foster channels for warmer water to, not only seep in to, but begin to flow freely once more ice is meleted away by the influx of new(er) unfrozen water.
As the Earth's outer temperature continues to rise over the coming decades, we'll be seeing more of the 'cracked ice-cube effect'. The same affect that we see in glasses of water when we drop ice cubes in it. The warmer water causes the ice to expand at a rate which then causes fractures. Within minutes, and on a much smaller scale, those cracks begin to fill with the warmer water and, before long, those cracks have turned in to the lines which define the new separation from adjoined pieces of ice.
This is how glaciers come apart and start floating freely.
Sounds a lot like the RIAA and the music industry tactics. How strange the mentality still exists in these concrtete, conglomerate, dinosaurs of modern thinking.
I just also heard on NPR the other morning that Boeing is under fire for selling jets that contain the same military guidance chip found in one of our STA missiles.
For years this has bugged me. Every time there is a new NASA head line, it's prefaced with "$X Million Dollar Satelite" or "$X Billion Dollar Budget NASA" or "$X Million Dollar NASA TEST Fails".
The thing I am annoyed by is the constant initial reminder of how much these projects cost. I don't care how much they cost. Every thing that NASA does is a bid for our future and our survival on a dying planet. Let us not be so concerned with the nickle & dime bullshit. NASA has a job to do and that's to make Space seem smaller. When at the price of survival, these budget costs are hardly comparable. Yet every time you see a CNN headline or/. headline regarding NASA, it always places the Dollar signs first. Why not emphasize the multi million-billions that GWB spends/wastes every day on a stupid anti-progressive war? Like "$40 Million Helicopter shot down" or "$100 Million in aide sent to country who already has $900 Billion of US aide"
I guess this tyrade just consists of my having reached wits end with the media and it's inability to properly, unbiasedly, portray they news with out pointed "it-costs-this-much-so-love-it-or-hate-it mentality.
then Apple Computing should just pay them for every Beatles song that was released on Apples label that's been downloaded form Apple Computing.
My state of discontent with this derives from the fact that people just love to nitpick at Apple Computing for what ever reason they see fit, regradless of it's validity of lack of. A company that is truly trying to advance modern technolgy in a friendly, cohesive, manner should not be so widely scrutinized for trying to make such advancements. If a stipulation of a prior settlement has been broken, then rectify it.
We're dealing every day with a mindset of a society that's hell-bent-for-leather on throwing knives at what ever traget is within distance. Apple, a growing company is within reach. These petty blows may not be ultimately detrimental, but the nickle and dime BS is certainly designed to do more than annoy and makes success difficult to be achieved.

This honestly makes me want to take all my Beatles Vynil Records and have a record burning. Including my rare copy of the White Album on Gray Vynil. Screw Apple Records, the Beatles, and who ever is behind this.
it's about the signal compatibility with your mobile device. it's turning up with Verizon customers versus Sprint customers versus any GSM subscriber like Cingular or Nextel's iDEN or other. some phones aren't working in spots because they don't have a compatible signal reception capability to use signal the nearby tower is broadcasting. who's to say we won't have this same problem in the sky.
I love your phones. In my eyes, you guys invented 2 way communications. But will you please fix or redesign your fucking charge port? Jeeeeeeeesus that thing sucks.
out form under them. To this day, they are the one company that leads the North East to believe there is no other option for service providers. In that, they are, daily, adding prices, adding hidden costs, retracting quality options, and ultimately, giving subscribers less with their increasing monthly premiums.
e.g. Once upon a time, a customer could change ESNs at no fee charge backs. These days, within the last 2 months VZW has released a memo to all retailers about charging $15 per ESN chnage done within an account that is not repair related. As of Yesterday, that cost has been raised to $20. About two weeks ago, another memo was released. Customers will not be charged a $35 for the primary line and $25 for any consecutive additionl lines for activation fee (previously $20 for all lines on a 2 yr agreement). With the addition of activation fee increases, as one might expect, there are no service advancements or added features to your just-increased-service fees.
What is the motivation behind it? Is it a straw grasping measure to hold on to a slipping market share? Has the Sprint/Nextel merger got them shaking in their shoes? I can only hope. I can only hope that VZW gets bought out and swept up by Sprint/Nextel so we can actually preogress wireless network technology to the next level instead of keeping the entire newengland region that digital/analog are the only options for you. Move over and let the people who know COM do it.
Don't even get me started on what they do to the LG vx6100 as a pre-pay phone. Wonderful phone with all the options, yet they are crippled when one activates it as a pre-paid handset, thereby devaluing the phone to merely payphone status at a $.10-.70/min high end premium.
"... regulation isn't necessary because the industry is so competitive it has to adjusts to consumer demands."
Lies. All of them. The industry adjusts according to consumer demand but it does not, however, do so at a discount. Profit stands to the primary motive or else it wouldn't be such a competitive industry to have gotten so deeply involved in. Done so by having convinced the world we need it to survive now.
People choke when they hear the price of plans. One of the common questions is whether or not home phone number service can be ported in or not because it's just too expensive at times to maintain both. Often times it can happen and people dump their LAND line and just do every thing via cell.
On the negative side of that, where I live, due to local stranglehold on tower installations, the tower installations happen few and far between. So here most people are, stuck paying a premium for service they can't depend upon. I'm all for mandation of coverage. In fact, I just wish the companies would just shit or get off the pot on just switching every thing to GSM and put a few more birds up in the sky and make every one happy.
agreed. looking at the larger picture... Apple -> Motorola/Nextel, Linux -> Motorola handsets, etc. merely a competitive move by M$ to gain market share of an industry already dominated by the *others*. Sounds like a grasp at the proverbial straws of cell phone business.
Same principle, been in use a long time, what's the verdict on those? Probably about the same as in home microwave usage.
Working for a cell phone outlet and activating phones, which can take place quitea few times every day and can last any where from 1-2 minutes, instead of hold the phone, I tend to place it on speaker mode if avaiable, and set the phone down during the programming process. I'm hoping that I'm decresing my bombardment a little bit.
... and hopefully the rockets would ignite after the drop.
What's the guarantee they'd gain the amount of thrust necessary to obtain and maintain a trajectory suitable for the general target area. It seems that it would take a huge amount of thrust to over come what is happening from gravity doing its job. Which is different when launching on the ground, because you're just fighting the momentum to gain upward motion, add a freefall at 28 fps, and you have a whole different situation to account for.
one can only assume that with these idle, potential threats; saying things that would interfere with governmental stability or perhaps disrupting power grids, this asswipe just blew the legs right off of what ever potential it may have had to actually become a reality. not that a 'mob' would ever exist, but an organisation could, potentially: but its fierceness is being over rated.
the awareness has now been raised. expect even further litigation limiting usage and liberty of such. never before has such a death blow been dealt if any one actually heeds what this fool is saying.
the best thing to do is go quietly in to the night pretending this article was never posted.
Any hoo. Futuredial is the site you want to take a look at.
There, you will find a comprehensive listing of phones available for internet connectivity and the appropriately matched cable for your phone enabling you to do such a thing.
in fact, i spent the day after helping a customer with a data link cable for his phone, searching the net for solutions to this up and coming question.
I think there are a great many questions and (hopefully) solutions that will follow.
What needs to happen, is the service needs to be made available to every one. Including those who, like myself, are credit challeneged. By that, I mean like TracFone, and INpluse pre-pay agreements from Verizon, potential users should be allowed to purchase internet time for their mobile phone units and access the national digital network necessary for these types of communications. The technology is there, it just needs more compatibility (hello mac people:> !). From what I was able to find, only a small portion of phones are capable of performing this relatively simple (in theory) task and windows is the required OS. Once more phones, older and newer, are able to do this, I see a whole new market opening up and capturing the road warrior market segment who wants to be able to drive from place to place never having to worry if they're going to be able to find a place to link up. It's all going to be available via using your cell phone, datalink cable, and your laptop.
It's a slick idea and it really needs to happen quickly.
1) Leave the iPod exactly the way it is
2) Create a plug in attachment like the iTrip or iTalk

4) Cheap Activated service exclusive for iPod/or other mobile enabled mp3 players with compatible devices.
