Everyone with a Windows machine should sign up for MS's monthly security e-mail or religiously check Windows Update on the second Tuesday of each month. I won't go as far as recommending automatic updates, though.
Or switch to a better OS. But I don't think the corporate masters would like that.
>If you just want to get by, that's fine, but not at the expense of people who WANT to work more.
But what if my values are my family, and yours are the company? It creates an economic incentive to hire people who are workaholics, meaning people who want to enjoy life won't be enjoying life because, even though they love their job, they're forced to work more than they want to just to keep it.
Did the C students jump to As because they wanted to apply themselves, or because they preferred the independent learning of a college to the slavery and drudgery of high school?
It depends what you want schools to do. Do you want well rounded, well read, intelligent citizens capable of thinking critically, or do you want automatons who know how to push buttons?
not my real life. All of real life. I can't make the idiot drivers go away. I can't make wars stop. I can't make people like each other, but I do my best to like people. I just hate the world they live in.
Well, this idea of moblogging (using a webcam hooked up to a PC) isn't new, using a picture phone to send pictures is new. And, to me, that's moblogging (MObile Blogging). What he's showing is RoboBlogging (Robotic blogging). But who am I to make up words?
I don't see why this is a problem. Business machines don't need ActiveX installers, because business folks shouldn't be playing games on company time. Mac users are used to this, as are Linux folks. The only people it would really affect are home users. Therefore the only people who have an issue are university tech departments and Dell/HP/etc support. Universities can simply block the ports that Gator uses, and problem solved. (Or have their CS departments give away spyware removal kits.) Home users stupid enough to own Windows can bug their relatives.
Actually, they're talking about using carbon to make these things (diamonds are made of carbon), so I would imagine you would just load any carbon-containing thing (grass clippings, a cow, your little sister) into one end and it would spit out whatever you want on the other.
All this talk of nanofactories, and I don't get it. They say that free-roaming nanites are a bad idea, but I think they'd be great. Imagine if roads used nanites to repair themselves! That would be great.
If you care about raking in cash, work for Microsoft.
If you care about making great software, work on an Open Source project.
And, no, I don't think they do get it. Jobs gets it, and so he's supporting open source as a way to cut his own dev costs for OS X. Gates and Ballmer don't get it because they can't see why anyone wouldn't sell software. Basically, they don't like Linux for the same reason my dad won't use Linux on his home machine; they don't understand it.

You can have your self-healing minefield once everyone else can have replacement limbs. Minefields are a terrorist weapon that don't turn off and don't know the difference between friend, foe or civilian.

Dude, it's Mac OS X, not OSX. It is not an acronym. And it's pronounced "oh ess ten."
Wrong again. Apache has the largest market share in HTTP servers, and it's not the most hacked.
Rovers are cheaper, but putting people on Mars would capture people's (very short) attention spans.
Living life how you want = freedom = independence = bad for profits.
Submit or be labeled an unrealistic, idealistic, tree-hugging commie pinko hippie.

Prove it.
We know it's a TV show. Real life just sucks. Make real life better, and maybe we'll live in it.

have a Mac OS X client. It took napster forever to get a Mac client, and I don't think it ever got out of beta (if I remember correctly).
Considering that PSU will take anyone with a pulse...
Hey! No they won't!
Wait, yeah they will. Heh. *has flashback of econ 020 in the forum, screams*
My little bro voted via absentee ballot, and he goes to Penn State. Very, very few of the people who go to Penn State actually are registered there.

but that's just me.
Just because it was the truth doesn't mean it was right or good.
Did you not read yesterday? We'll have nanofactories in decades, so we have to work now!
That must be one quiet server... piles of ashes are usually really quiet.

To paraphrase Zoolander: "How are we supposed to use it if our fingers are too big for the buttons!"
Also, will I have to have a microscope so people can see that I'm using a Mac?
