>Worse, they aren't just proposing attacks on the specific machines, but rather that you have to put your virus into the wild.
can't you read? or are you just too retarded to understand the actual meaning of the words you've read?
ask a grown up to explain the following to you:
>Your virus may be put into general circulation on the internet, if it meets the 'benign' and 'harmless' standard. Or, it may be sent by email to virus@dvforge.com. Both machines will pull email from this POP account at least once per day, and, those emails will all be opened each day.
>Which has nothing to do with the post you've replied to.
yeah but what's a guy got to do to get modded down around here? I tried personal insult and I tried blasphemy. so I decided giving offtopic a shot.
but not to give in to your straw man argument: I never said books can't provoke debate, I said that the way Wolfram went about publishing his research meant that he got almost zero input from the community until after he published a book. compared with peer-review, where every stage of his work would be checked - the only checking his work got was spell checking. and it seems obvious from reading the work itself he was more concerned with trying to make a reputation for himself than actually making a significant cntribution to science.
yes but Wolfram himself is a prick and a disgrace to science. why publish in peer-reviewed journals and engage in debate when you can just write a book and claim you've reinvented science? who needs actual results when you're a millionaire?
yes, it was just meant to be a bit of fun. no one meant for it to be taken so seriously. now people are coming up with all kinds of strange and contradictory explanations to make it fit with today's stuff. when in reality it simply does not fit. because it has no meaning. it's just a bunch of stuff written by fallable humans. just like the bible.
why did Enterprise disappear for the month of March?
I'll be sorry to see Enterprise go. It was getting alright. Yes, Battlestar Galactica is better but I've seen them all now and the next series won't be here anytime soon.
OT: it pisses me off that the Battlestar Galactica 'mini series' and 'series 1' need to be bought separetly on DVD - 45 quid for 15 episodes is a bit steep. Any word on whether the DVD versions keep the ridiculous 15 minute introduction sequences?
AFAIK the Gameboy of old was based on things like Tetris and the new one is based on things like Pokemon - not rehashes.
Plus the DS has a *more* advanced version of the N64s Mario 64, not a SNES rehash.
Anyway, the point I think the original comment was trying to make is that Nintendo (et al.) has lots of experience making portable games whereas if you look at the PSP lineup you'll see that they're all the kind of thing you'd rather play on a proper console and big TV. Conversely the Tetris/Pokemon kind of thing works *better* on a small handheld than a main console.
>What ever happened to ease of use? A disk eject button is friendlier than a pinhole or obscure key or menu command.
why is a button on the disk drive any less obscure than a labelled button on my keyboard (F12) where THE REST OF MY F*CKING BUTTONS ARE ALREADY LOCATED!?
plus, in order to make things are lots simpler and convenient my iBook drive is slot loading so there's nothing to put the button "on" anyway.
RTFA - they allegedly withheld prior art documents.
(yes not "proof" but as close as you can get without some kind of official investigation. after all, I can't proove to you right now that the Earth goes round the Sun but you know if you look you'll find it.)
Grampa: What the hell is that? Frink: Why, it's a death ray my good man, behold. (Frink fires death ray) Grampa: Hey, feels warm, kinda nice. Frink: Well it's just a prototype, with proper funding I'm
confident this little baby could destroy an area the
size of New York City. Grampa: But I want to help people, not kill 'em. Frink: Oh, well to be honest, the ray only has evil
applications. You know my wife will be happy,
she's hated this whole death ray thing from day
one.
I rarely use more than 20GB, so my 80GB iBook is fine. I find myself backing up DVDs of television series (uncompressed!) for lack of anything better to do with the space.
let's focus on:
1. increasing battery life as much as possible but not at the expense of increasing weight, and
2. increasing CPU and GPU as much as possible but not at the expense of near-silent operation.
I use the internet on my mobile. Email is obviously fine. General browsing can be a bit awkward and slow, but my main use - looking up IMDB reviews while in the shop DVD section - is great.
The idea of walking home to look up a bit of info is (or "can be" and "should be") as retarded in today's society as needing to find a phone box to tell someone you'll be a bit late.
I don't get it? did anything bad happen to the Mac? what you're saying is that using non-Mac products can get you owned?
yes setting up a wireless network was maybe a bit stupid given such poor company security, but with that kind of bad IT administration something was bound to happen sooner or later.
also, look at how many Windows users don't think they need to understand security (the Windows box said is was more secure than ever!).
the moral here is that YOUR COMPANY SYSTEMS SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO BE SECURE in the first place so even the most retarded employee can't fuck everything up.
I hope you took the hint and moved everyone to Mac/linux. no? "fool me once, shame on you..."
I can control pretty much everything on my iBook with my bluetooth P900 and Salling Clicker.
Wireless really is wonderful - I lay on my bed controlling the music on my iBook with my phone, the sound coming from my speakers connected wirelessly via Airport express.

nice use of the word "only".

I'm not so sure the same can be said for anti-abortionists though.

go home, troll.
forget karma, I just want to look you in the non-anonymous eye and tell you you're a fucking retard.
thank you for removing yourself from the Apple user base.

Let's all make our own internet and not invite Microsoft. It'll be great. With hookers. And gambling.
In fact... screw the gambling.

>Whatever happened to not patronizing companies/vendors/services you fundamentally disagreed with?
people have been broken. they are weak and without principles.
that's why most refer to themselves as "consumers" these days.
I waited. I upgraded. the DRM didn't lock me out.
the thing that makes BS like yours work is that it plays on fear, not fact.
more programs? so what? you only need one good one. how about better programs? ah, you lose...
the website you link to is a gaming community. I think my original point is upheld.

just wait until after puberty and you start using computers for more than games...
I actually got an iBook first, then an iPod shuffle.
I just got a gamecube to satisfy my game needs (played through eyetv on my mac) so I can give my massive tower PC to my dad.
I can control pretty much everything on my iBook with my bluetooth P900 and Salling Clicker.

wow, you really don't have a clue do you?
