Dell makes excellent hardware that is sadly crippled by their junk preinstall.
Ok A. Dell buys hardware, it makes nothing and B. they buy from the lowest bidder as they need parts, making the hardware neither excellent nor uniform during a product family.
Note that this is third party software that all of the bugs seem to be stemming from. I guess Apple has made a fairly secure system but they can't expect all third party developers to follow the same rigorous standards.
Personally I think that the reason most/all of the bugs released are 3rd party apps and not OS X itself is that the people running the project are to lazy to try and find some actual Apple bugs.
I have an entire Mac, running OS X in a mobile form. I don't want at 8GB iPod that costs more then a 30gb iPod. I needed a Cell phone that worked with my existing Mac, especially since it is not an entire Mac.
it would be a little hard on them to expect them to provide both a CDMA (Verizon,Sprint) and a GSM (Cingular,T-Mobile (other freq. of GSM being the rest of the WORLD)).
Cingular exclusive. That sucks. The announced prices are with a 2yr contract as well. Other then not switching my service just for a phone merged with a iPod, the device could have been made so much better as the return of the Newton. I was hoping for a smart phone that would work with almost any service, sync to my MacBook and could act as a bluetooth modem.
Only interesting thing to wait for now is a release date for Leopard.
So our Taxes (for us US residents) are going to the Government (NSA included) to help secure Linux so Red Hat can sell it to us Taxpayers and make more money. What do you say that Red Hat should mark down the price of each RHEL copy sold by $1 until the monetary value of the NSA's help is repaid?
What's good for the goose is good for the gander, either SELinux was a good use of the NSA's resources or it was a waste. If it was a good use because of all the security benefits then the government should not favour any one group and provide the same service to any group. If it was a waste with Vista then it was a waste with SELinux.
BTW the NSA also did at least some work with Solaris, at least publishing a guide on securely configuring Solaris.
Microsoft to buy 1up, Xbox games will never be rated worse then perfect, with Playstation and Wii games never able to get good ratings if they are rated at all. Switch those console names around for whoever you feel like supporting.
I don't really predict that, I just wanted to get it out of the way.
IIRC, it hasn't since XP SP2 as the firewall is enabled by default. Any open ports a users system has since then is because they allowed those connections themselves.
The VM is unnecessary and just adds a layer that does nothing for security. Any system behind a good firewall is enough but will not save the user from themselves.
Misleading? Only for those that jump to conclusions. The headline is completely accurate, a Russian Rocket hit Wyoming. That you or others read more into it without checking first doesn't change the accuracy of the headline.
Expansions are not episodes, Doom, Quake and the Sims were complete games that could be enjoyed as they were. A better example might be something like the Xenosaga series. They were never meant to be played as individual games, the storyline starts in Episode One and ends in Three. Episode Two is a middle and feels like it.
Could you really enjoy The Empire Strikes back without seeing A New Hope before and Jedi after? Same idea.
InnoDB is licensed under the GPL. InnoDB is no more dependent on Oracle then Linux is on Red Hat. MySQL could if need be develop InnoDB themselves.

VLC != Quicktime. On top of that Quicktime would be a valid target for the month of Apple Bugs as it ships as part of OS X and is created by Apple, VLC does not and is not. A bug in VLC is no more an apple bug then an SSH bug in PuTTY is a Windows bug.

Month of apple bugs over in one Bug? They had to go to an application already? Also, who would have known, an application writer that makes a mistake on one platform might make that same mistake on another.

I'm only going to worry about this if the Weekly World News is right and death has been cured.

There is nothing good I can say about Dell's.

Liable for what? Releasing software with bugs in it? You would have to extend that to every software manufacturer that has ever existed.
The VM is unnecessary and just adds a layer that does nothing for security. Any system behind a good firewall is enough but will not save the user from themselves.
I could have swore my MacBook didn't have a GPS system in it.

Thank you for that link.

Yes it does.
Meh, I liked it better when they called it Sybase.

MySQL can use many different storage engines, some open, some not. Having another Open engine is just a good thing to have.
