The Juniper manuals are about the worst I've ever read, with very confusing examples. That this book has confusing examples too is really frustrating. I absolutely *love* Juniper firewalls for the features I understand, but the problem is that they are very difficult to understand when the manuals suck. Bleh.
Which ever one comes to San Francisco first is going to be a hell of a lot more attractive to me. I was trying to get FIOS here but couldn't because Verizon has no land service in this area. Comcast does... I think I know which one is more attractive now. To me anyway...
These shopping carts are just asking to be stolen. It's widespread enough as it is that simple shopping carts go missing. Carts with gadgets? Hell yeah. Just wait until somebody finds a way to make them into a digital picture frame, then they'll all be missing.
Users should always be assumed to be at the lowest common denominator when making decisions that affect over 100 or so people in every business unit in the company, so yeah, zombie would be about right. Thus the problem. No way to revert to the old UI. How hard would that have been?
I love the new interface too, however, VPs have better things to do than learn new UIs.
Vista and Office 2007 have been the biggest driving force for Apple at my company. They actually justified us getting a line of credit with Apple rather than dealign with a local Corp Sales rep.
Office 2007 is leaps and bounds over anything Microsoft put out before.
So much so that I've had to downgrade several employees whose productivity could simply not handle this massive surge forward in... whatever 2007 excels so greatly at.
The interface is also heavily improved
So heavily improved that many people who were proficient at 2003 find themselves hopelessly lost and frustrated with this unbelievably improved UI.
What I've found to be a pain is when people start running testing environments with like 7 servers in bridge mode with static IP#'s in the DHCP pool because they don't know any better. Then IT trouble tickets come in asking why people are getting IP conflicts and interrupted SSH connections to SVN servers while no IT trouble-tickets come in from QA as their invalid network configuration changes are distracting them entirely with test results that are randomly terrible and they just can't seem to figure out why.
Just as with physical machine deployment, virtual machines have to be planned. As long as that is taken care of things seem to be OK. At least in my experience.
It's kinda ridiculous that they sell laser pens that can get you into that kind of trouble. I almost got arrested when i was like 20 because me and my GF were driving and playing with a laser pen at night, shining it at reflective surfaces. Another driver followed us and called the cops. I was astounded when they showed up and made me destroy the device or else they were going to arrest me. It was like "wtf. kids can buy this stuff for $4 at walgreens. you going to arrest them too?"
There is an option to reset Safari, the same way Firefox does its clearing private data. It's found in Safari -> Clear Private Data.
On top of that, there's a mode specifically made for public terminals called "Private Browsing" which automatically deletes all session data when the browser window closes.
Along with the lack of a logout button, the problem here is compounded by users not using the software properly.
Exactly. Sugar no longer needs their own license because with v3 the GPL has caught up to the current needs of serious for-profit OSS companies. What I was intending to say is that Sugar was given shit for being ahead of the curve. GPL v3 incorporates exactly what Sugar had to do on their own with the SPL was doing 2 years ago.
I'm not saying GPL3 is bad in any way, I'm glad it's finally caught up to the needs of OSS businesses.
Incidentally, this is exactly why SugarCRM left GPL v2 to move to a proprietary license called the Sugar Public License which had an attribution clause in it. The community gave Sugar mad shit because they weren't "true" open source, but low and behold GPL v3 included that type of protection and all the sudden Sugar is back within the good graces of "true" open source software.
You have no selected to enable Incessant_Questions.dll which is required by chatty_systray.exe, nonsensical_question.dll attention_whore32.dll, are you sure you want to disable this? OK / Cancel / Dennis
When waiting for a cinema feature to start, maybe rather than rail us about how we shouldn't steal they should give us instructional videos on how to flash the firmware on our devices? I mean, come on, how many average people know what that even means??
I don't know about anybody else, but when I bought my hardware I didn't or agree to anything other than payment for the hardware. I only agreed to the terms and conditions of a contract while activating my phone with Apple while signing up for AT&T service.
That being said, you can't expect software updates to suit your needs if your needs are not in alignment with the plans of the device you bought. If I was planning on using my iPhone as a copy machine I can't very well hold it against Apple for not upgrading their iPhone camera with extra features like Efax and OCR. You assume you know the expected behaviors of the device and you have faith that Apple will extend those behaviors. *nix tools, NES ROMs and accelerometer based games are not part of that goal, I guess.
I guess in this case, we can't even expect that they'll allow us to fool around with our little projects to use their screwdriver as a multi-tool. Screwdriver it is.
Man, that's like technological Judo. Taking an offensive force and using its effects to your advantage. Fuckin sweet. We've harnessed the power of the/. effect.
If the website designer has to pay for bits each time you view their website without viewing their banner ads, are you engaged in theft? Is this right?
If that's the case I'll just surf the Google cache, which doesn't have google ads, and an ad-blocker for those cached advertising elements.
Better yet, just have these people host *their* site on Google apps, which is free.
After all, it's not as if us anti-ad nazi's are going to pay for shit we find advertised on a website we browse to on a non ad-blocked computer. We'll just bitch and moan and probably hate that product for getting its grubby message all over our eyeballs.
What makes this a web-based Operating System rather than a web based Window Manager? Sure, it's an operating environment, but when was an interface the OS?
I have to agree, people complain quite a bit about Apple software on Windows and sometimes don't give it enough credit. Sure, it's not perfect. Nothing is.
We all enjoyed Myst, right?
Well do we all remember that Quicktime was required to run Myst? And Riven? And.........

At least the SSG VPN's were easy to figure out.

Maybe they'll just buy the rights like they did with coverflow?
They'll be changing pretty fast once somebody ports doom to the new Apple keyboard.

VNC isn't an OS.

Xnest isn't an OS.
SSH isn't an OS.
