Of course, any temp files and any information written into the swap file could be recovered.
Also, I can't help but be suspect of any commerical corporation offering me cryptographic security solutions. For all I know, Apple has some way to bypass that encryption that only they (and the NSA) know about. Now, if they allowed for third party encryption options, like using GPG, that would be interesting.
Linux using Bash as the default shell is not a "newer Linux trend". As for the differences, there is a lot of information on each shell available on the web.
I have been a member of Hydrogenaudio for a while and I have to say that I have throughly enjoyed it. Even though I didn't post that often, it was an awesome resource.
If I was a programmer, I would create games where you try to kill the President or a game where you get points for each nun you rape. Why? Because it would offend people.
What I don't understand is why Sex.com is still using Network Solutions as a registrar considering all the problems that they have had. If I was that guy, I would have moved it to another registrar.
Funny how SCO is trying to duck out of providing evidence to their "claims". It seems to me that if they were truly wronged, they would be eager to provide proof.
I think it is also funny that they are concerned about "trade secrets" when everyone knows how Unix works. There is no big mystery.
I do see your point about the unfairness of G5s being able to get the upgrade. I don't understand it either. I also don't understand why Apple includes those useless coupons since they never seem to be good for anything.
BTW, shouldn't you be shopping for Zeta instead of Panther?:)
When you ordered your computer, it was indicated which version of the operating system you would be getting. You got what you paid for and your are not entitled to anything further. Also, Panther is not manditory, so if you don't like the policy on this, stay with Jaguar.
You're right. Apple should just come out and admin that "X" is really being used as the letter X. After all, why would they call the OS "Mac OS X 10.3" if the X really meant ten?
Personally, I thing that the should change the name to "System X" or MacStep.:)
What I find sad is Verisign's inability to just manage the.Com and.Net domains without messing up. Why can't they simply do the job they were contracted to do, which includes following defined standards, and shut the fuck up? It should be easy money but obviously, their greed is getting in the way.
I've been using a.Mac address for a while now and I really like it. In addition to the webmail client, my address book and bookmarks are all available to me online thanks to iSync.
"The RIAA's not so bad, they'll settle out of court over the phone, if you don't mind paying up instead of getting a lawyer"
Well, settling is not a bad deal if you're a scumbag swapping copyrighted material. I do feel bad about people who are falsely accused or were too stupid to monitor what others were doing on their computer.
"The Methuselah Mouse contest was created in an effort to boost research into human longevity"
Yeah, that's what we need, longer living humans who already overpopulate the Earth due to a lack of natural preditors. If you ask me, what we really need is a good plague. (Captain Trips, anyone?)
I don't see how you can get any kind of information since there is no definitive info on Linux usage. You can't simply go by sales the way you could with commercial software. You also can't go by downloads, since some people download the software more then once, especially if network installs are supported.
IMO, the great thing about free software is that it doesn't exist to win popularity contest but to serve the interests of the public good. It is also a testament to the generosity of developers. (And to all the free software developers out there, I thank you all.)
This type of study makes me think that the body can only consume a finite about of food in its lifetime. Go through that amount slowly and you extend your time here; go through it quickly and reduce your time here.
I maintain a database of half a billion dollars worth of excess aircraft parts using dBase IV for DOS. I also maintain the superfast network of Pentium 133s running Windows 98se.
Yes, I am quite happy when I get home to bask in the warm glow of my eMac running Mac OS X.
According to the article, 70 million dollars was generated with the Candanian levy. I would be willing to bet that none of that money went to any artist.
You know, I have always wondered why there is a charge for being unlisted. It doesn't cost the phone company any money NOT to print your name in the phone book or NOT give out your phone number on 411.

I hope that it returns soon.

and I will be buying some but the games I really want aren't on there. My old favorites are:
Dig Dug
Mr. Do!
Qix
Donkey Kong
Star Castle
Pacman
Ms Pacman
Hopefully, others will follow Atari's lead.

"This Wired story shows a disturbing alliance between hackers [sic] and spammers. "
If I can trouble the readers and posters of Slashdot, what does the "sic" in "[sic]" mean?
Nutcase,

I totally disagree with you.

"And when exactly is Longhorn going to ship?"
Well, it shouldn't take too long now that Apple (Microsoft's unpaid R&D wing) has determined the feature-set.
You're right. Apple should just come out and admin that "X" is really being used as the letter X. After all, why would they call the OS "Mac OS X 10.3" if the X really meant ten?

Works better than I expected, honestly.

If there is one thing you never want to buy, it's RAM from Apple. Their prices are crazy!
"It is, however, nice to know that IBM's fire-breathing legion of IP lawyers is on the side of the GPL."
No, they are not on the side of the GPL; they are on IBM's side. It just so happens that, currently, that IBM and the GPL have a common interest.
And never forget the lesson SCO has taught us: the business that is your friend today (IBM) can be your enemy in the future (SCO/Caldera).
I've been thinking about something like this but using a standard PC case to house the drives. Still, it wouldn't look as nice as this does.

"It has worried me for a while that OpenSSH has become the standard, which, unfortunately, creates a monoculture."
I know what you mean. I feel the same way about the overpromotion of Linux over the BSDs.
