Is it a real surprise that there are iPhone apps out there that snoop, and bypass safeguards. When will encrypted data at the 2048 and higher bit level make it into the tech we take for granted on a daily basis. If you want safeguards, folks need to start using the stuff out on the market that is free to give them some level of protection against theft. Don't lock the door well, expect thieves, don't weatherize in well, expect to get cold. Don't encrypt your data, expect to lose it to theft.
This guy's quote is BS, if you as the owner of your traffic don't know how much demand there is either by system monitoring and/or usage patterns for specific type clients (with demograhaphics tagged along with it, because ATT sure as hell knows its clients profiles and/or can buy such data from 3rd parties) then they need to get out of the business. Either way ATT has slacked on its network, let Verizon (good for them) to compete and do it well and then blame poor performance and oversell on its lack of knowledge. That is just BS, they know, don't care until it hurts in the pocket... And exclusive contracts with big hardware vendors does't help the public, its own customer base, as well as its image. Shame on ATT.
And then what happens when all the music in the world is 'discovered?'. There will be an uprising like seen no other! There has to be undiscovered music to keep the malcontents at bay.
Sold from 1999 to 2003, and got fed up with eBay and their ignoring feedback from users. Now they seem to have taken it seriously and still screwed up yet another revision (5 years plus in the making). Go eBay, e-i-e-i-o.
Religion being #1, and Big Oil #3, Education is just a huge sell. I mean does it take a rocket scientist (no funny meant, really) to figure out a 100-200 dollar book is a rippoff. I think Education has become a off-the-books IQ test. If you didn't figure out the K-12 lie of "a better job and life was ahead", and you took it hook line and sinker without checking it out, then yes you deserve the indenture you get after graduating. However, with billions of offerings to those with high grades and great aspirations followed with effort there is no reason anyone has to be broke and living in a basement that actually deserves a real education. You can drink on Wed and Friday on a trade job just as well as getting an education in a formal school, both of which will teach you a lesson about moderation and discipline.
Could agree more, PC Magazine after all should read Windows Magazine and in the back with little boxes for advert space are the Linux alternatives. I give no credibility to the review, zero. Just follow the money trail.
I don't think so, this has brought to my attention as a regular BB visitor (but not necessarily buyer) something I was unaware and now have done due diligence online. My simple mind, and simple findings in google-land have helped me conclude I do not want to visit, shop, or recommend Best Buy for business. That said, I'm in disagreement with your assessment of how meaningless this is to the public. Companies must learn to respond to market demands, and QoS sucking and legal waste of time and money is part of it.
days numbered? For years I have refrained from using printed materials, for various reasons other than the obvious knocking on door memories of door-to-door sales people shucking monthly deliveries of big books. The ease, the vastness, the updating, the decentralized wikipedia (at least in its editors), the accuracy, what more can I say? I enjoy wikipedia for more than the novelty factor which is huge in of itself. It just works, and it is donatoware (currently begging for money now, so if you like it, I recommend you do something to show how much you like it) which to me directly reflects its useful factor to an individual and audience alike. I can't help but think the relative stranglehold of the Brittanica and like sources are numbered. Good job WikiPedia, keep up the quality, you deserve what you are getting. [all this is of course from an uneducated 9th grade dropout:)]
while the 'boss' is standing behind us is something one should do regularly. Last time I checked my IT friends pretty much feel this way and maybe the truth behold the sucky bosses of the world need more education on how the 'droids' feel about micro management.
Ok, I'll say it again, and it is on topic this time. Boinnnnnnnnnng!
I can't wait to install, and make my media center using this OS.
Hows that, a little clearer now? Hope others post on their success
using this OS. It definitely is promising.
is about the biggest lie perp'ed on mankind. Google is the last company aside from the obvious M$ that I would want to control anything. They are about inflated stock, and making you see ads online. Are well all that stupid that we believe Google-ganda?

I would totally agree, at some point the majority of people that buy, keep and DON'T read the book in its entirety actually offset any losses the bookseller could possibly blame on a leech. I for one will keep any book worth keeping. The equivalent is that I actually pay a tax of time, and gas to 'borrow' a book for 'evaluation', which is totally in the policy of the seller. I don't do anything the seller doesn't already figure into their revenue path. See, when I return a book or two (or more) I also usually spend it on another set of books, and eventually that money STAYS in the sellers chain. This means profit. Its just a rotation model that works for me, and for them. So, for someone to call me a leech or anyone else that plays the return-game-until-something-worth-keeping-is-purch ased, I have news. Publish books worth keeping, and I will do just this, keep books worth reading, keeping and referencing.
Used to run an archiving business of sorts (trade stuff in exchange for space) on many towers of CDs. I burned in the mid to late 90s many CDs and have them all archived still. Went back and uploaded them to a terabyte raid I built and without one failure of the CDRs that I archived, not one degraded to not mount and copy. I had a few that had scratches, but that is a different story and not related. Bottomline, buy what works, cheap and don't move them once archived, keep in cool dark place, and you are good to go. Oxidation is a CD-ophile's issue, not much in the reality zone. Heat is an issue, and if you store them on your dashboard, you deserve what results.
I just go to WallyWorld/ChinaMart and get me the cheapest 4.2 gig DVDs money can buy, and they work. Been doing it for 3 years, and without one failure on burn or reading. Dont' waste time on archival BS, just buy what money can buy, and you get basically the very same as there are *NOT* hundreds of sources that resellers/marketers use.

James is a good guy, and knows his Mac crack. Guys has been alive and well in the community for 3 years, and is a great guy with the Ruby Quiz. Conflicting publisher (or not) his views are almost always well thought out and valid, regardless of how silly and useful the Quiz is:) Glad to see James has a TextMate book coming out with Oreilly. In all, the book itself (the Rails Recipes) is about a 7-8 out of 10 mac strokes.

Rails has been around for a while, and the books are all pretty good (bought 5, read 5, returned 5)... The only book really worth reading to any seasoned MVC or Morphic programmer is the Getting Started with Rails... The rest are really just rehash on MVC which is so dated we should all look carefully at why Rails is so special to the masses in the first place.
You have to be talking most of the problems in computing of course are windows related. Most OS's out there are faster at booting, some taking less than 10 seconds on ***OLD*** hardware. Depends a lot on the storage, if you use flash, or you use Winchester (HD) tech, or you do a 'RAM drive' I remember the old old days of my Apple II/e/+ systems that had RAM hard drives with battery backup, and they took about 3-4 seconds to boot. A lot of issues are at hand, hardware handshaking, syncing and bootstrapping (thus the term boot'in), loading your daemons, com-stacks, user applications, most of which is bloatware. A nicely designed FORTH system will come up in seconds, most Mac users know by seeing the OpenFORTH of which is the bootstrapping software monitor in all macs since 1994-era. If one uses cars, most of them are quickboot systems, turn the key and the system is almost 'instantly' available. The reason, as I believe I can safely say, your system is slow in booting is due to a very very old concept of a generalized computer designed to do specific tasks. Instead, you should use a generalized computer that is set up in a very specialized way.
