1. Core Files are disabled by default. So unless you've enabled them you should be ok.
2. DMG Folder permissions can be a problem but I think the bigger problem is broken permissions on executable program distributions. Publishers and developers aren't using the right permissions.
3. The buffer overflow crashes the machine but does not dump any sensitive data- no logs only memory addresses are dumped. This is generally not sensitive information.
In addition I think it's kind of lame to say that Apple will not release security update for 10.2 perhaps they just haven't released them yet. These flaws don't seem to be terribly pertinent since they all require that you already have access to the machine, one of them requires that you dig in and enable core files another requires insecure app permissions (not Apple's fault) and a trojan and the last is an overflow which must be within narrow length limits and does not dump sensitive data.
Sadly I went to download Gator and found out that the Mac version is "in the Works". Of course we all know what that means, we'll not see a Mac version for years. It's probably vaporware. Now I have to seek out a new way to store my passwords and bookmarks.
No really if you don't like WMA just re-rip ti unprotected WMA and post on P2P. The idea being to get the RIAA as pissed at WMA as it is at MP3. Wouldn't that be clever. Unfortunate side effect: Everyone will use WMA.
I know Edison won the AC vs DC long power transmission war, since he abdicated DC an obviously that's what goes over power lines and comes out of my outlets.
Seriously though no one seems to remember Tesla, even though we rely on his work every freakin day.
Why is there any question as to which was cheaper? Seems to me that the Apple cluster is the better deal and the Dell cluster still costs more than twice as much, with substantial headroom for error.
What about deceleration? Like the sudden stop of hitting the pavement.
It's just acceleration with a new reference.
As far at the APS is concerned, being dropped in the pavement and abruptly stopping is the same as the pavement jumping up and abruptly pushing the laptop into motion. (of course It can't predict either situation, only that something has changed and something might change again very soon)

Didn't even have to touch the command line or restart or anything. But for the most part you're right about it not being necessary.
In addition...I like the idea of having a pure System directory. For those of you who don't know, as a programmer you never have to touch the System directory in OS X save kernel extensions.
Well they're still around but they no longer have hold of the royalties business. For those of you who don't ASCAP was the only company collecting royalties for artists for a long time. Till one day they decided to double their fees. NBC thought that was crap and started their own royalty company: BMI. The primary difference was (and I think still is) that there no dues to pay with BMI it's a flat percent rate.
Why is this relevent to: but it still sucks unless its got good music.?
Because ASCAP said the same thing about BMI who basically opened the flood gates. Sure, many people that were BMI members (Read: could not afford ASCAP member dues) had NO talent (in singing and music) whatsoever and many indeed suxored a lot. But BMI's open invitation also hit gold. Such as Frank Sinatra who went to BMI to apply.
It may take time but I believe Magnatune will get some really genuinely good artists. Now the only trouble is keeping MTv from saying they suck.
Slashdot Mirror
Word on the street has it that this baby will support 65,536 unique colors all on the same screen.
The best I could do checking every option in one pass through the Apple Store was $29,662.15
And that's with every digital camera and printer and firewire drive, display, video camera and software option the gave me and a 40 gig iPod to boot.
The G5 with only stuff the goes in the tower cost $9,423.00.
'Course I guess you can't get a Dell with 8 gigs of RAM yet so we'll have to wait to compare.

Panther hasn't even been out a week yet.
It couldn't have been my fault- It's Unix based. Here look at my uptime.

You've really missed the mark Gator.
Turn off full keyboard access. System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse
If the Apple site gets bogged down
That's silly. Apple uses Akamai.
Especially since the article is specifically about G5's and not G4's. What gives?
The fact that you're not running Windows?

So do yourself an enormous favor and start using a computer built this decade.

Don't you mean: "So do yourself a favor and start using a computer built this millennium."
It sounds better that way
And you get warnings along the way to disable root as soon as possible.
No you don't.
Net Info Manager really is very hard to understand for the average guy/grrl.
No It isn't- or at least enabling root with it is not confusing.

Enabling root is totally non-trivial.

Are you really the author of Lux? Can I have 3 free registration codes: "Eddie" "Simon" "Pam"
Cheers, Ed.

Ex-Ef-See-Eee or is is Ex-Feese
If it's the latter does that mean if you have lots of computers running XFce your running X-fces?
BTW Nice logo.
Holy Crap! you're right... and I thought you were kidding- this thing really is as ugly as sin... I should know I've been wallowing in sin for ages.
Thank you Jesus for saving us... and for iPods.
Of course they weren't first- Something had to be there to ignite.
So Apple ignited it. Then the whole thing promptly blew up in their faces and the whole industry (or about 95%) went to hell!
