I believe it is the same on the MacBook Pro at least. If you reset the SMC, the fans run on full speed until reset by the system controller, and the speed controls are set when the OS comes up.
I wasn't too happy about xnu-x86 and related kernel modules being closed source because the fan controls for the MacBook Pro are software based (in AppleSMC AFAIK), and that means someone can use the source code, and modify it so the fan starts at a lower temperature which should hopefully resolving the heating issues.
I've used PalmOS since 1998-9 (can't remember which), when the Palm VIIx was released. Every one of the palm devices has had wireless internet in some form, and I later owned a Treo 600 and 650 before abandoning both for the T-Mobile MDA/HTC Wizard and Windows Mobile. I never had the joy of owning a Newton, but I did get to try one out (an eMate), and I must say I was extremely convienced. It was like an iBook expect light, turn on type, turn it off, etc. I almost dropped 300 for it then and there for it. Unfortunity, nothing really compares anymore to that. Entering data on the 600 and 650 is tedious because I got big fingers, and that keypad is very small. Syncing worked nicely, and its probably one of the nicest sync packages ever put together (it blows M$ ActiveSync and RIM's desktop sync out of the water). That being said, Windows Mobile probably could beat the Newton. Microsoft tuned it heavily for 5.0, and it runs smoothly, and does extactly what it's susposed to. Entering data on the MDA is easy and quick to do.
In regards to the 700p which vasty ups the key size, I would like to say that it was also due to PalmOS's design of only having one app running at any given time was one of the major reasons I abandoned it for Windows Mobile.
"Earlier Saturday mission managers decided a problem with a thermostat in one of Discovery's thrusters, which was showing a reading in the 80s when it should have been in the 60s, was not dangerous and it could be fixed once the shuttle was in orbit."
Given the fact that foam striking the side of the Columbia during takeoff wasn't considered dangerous, I'm suprised they didn't stop to recheck everything before hand. When it comes down to rechecking everything and delaying the mission for a little longer vs. the millions lost and the following PR hit, the answer pretty obvious. You could say "it could never happen", but try and tell that to the crews of the Changeller and the Columbia.

Only a two year jail sentence? That seems extremely light, considering that once you have your identity stolen, it can easily take over two years to put everything back in order, especially if the guy who did it isn't caught. That's more like a slap on the wrist then a real punishment, and I don't see it as a deterrent in commiting in this crime.
Think about it, very few people who commit identify theft ever get caught, and in addition, you can make a lot of money or get a lot of free stuff while it lasts, and if you get busted, you're out in two years and you can do it all over again.
When was the last time a major newspaper did real investingation? I mean, I always read about the world they want us to hear about and they never go into details on how our civil liberaties and the constution are essentially being used a toliet house by the people in Washington. It's shocking and disturbing to see how far our nation has fallen in the last couple of years.
You know, BlueSecurity was working. Had they survived, it might have shutdown the spammers. This is going to become a massive bubble issue. Someone just needs to pick up the torch BlueSecurity dropped, and be willing to fight the fight.
Absolutely nothing does. It's actually quite possible to get Darwin programs to start and run with a NetBSD kernel which has COMPAT_MACHO (or was it COMPAT_DARWIN) compiled into it. That feature doesn't completely emulate IOKit yet, but it does allow XDarwin to properly work:

I hate to reply to myself, but checking Apple's offical Darwin site, XNU's sources are still posted. The only thing that could even suggest Apple's going to stop releasing the XNU sources is that if you go into Sources (X86), XNU is not shown, but to my knowledge, those sources are just for packages that are different or not included in the PPC version.
Thumbing through the XNU source, all the assembler and C sources for the Intel platform is still there...
I know I'm in a minority, but I used Darwin/x86 quite a bit since it had NetInfo support so I could use it for shared login, and while I could switch to everything to LDAP, it wasn't worth the effort. I currently got an Intel Macintosh, but maybe my next purchase won't be a Mac, because I do/did use Darwin quite a bit. That being said, the Macworld UK article doesn't cite sources, so where is it getting this info? I still see the xnu sources on OpenDarwin's site:
The Blue Frog client was open source. It shouldn't that hard to modify it so that anyone could install a module onto their web/mail server so Blue Frog can send emails, and have the entire system run decentralized. I.E. I run two mail servers with a Blue Frog module on it, and I publish those servers for public use by the BlueFrog client. System administrators can check sites and domains to send spam reports to and control it. I'd love to see the spammers take down a decentralized since it would be nearly impossible to shut down every node in a decenteralized system.
Dual layer DVD burners are still hard to come by .

360 Hacked To Play Backups

Most people don't known dual layer burners unless they bought there computer fairly recently, dropped the extra money for a DVD-RW drive (which is still fairly rare, although its fairly standard on Apple computers ), and then it also has dual-layer support. I've owned two DVD-RW drives in the last three years, and netiher one has dual layer burn capabilities. Needless to day, dropping $300 for a dual layer drive, and $170-ish for an XBox 360 doesn't sound that appealing sadly. Now if I could buy a DVD that would let me run unsigned code (which I bet will be made possible within the next few days) without me having buy a new burner, I'd be all over it.
I should have stated I use an older VAIO which has a Pentium III and ran extremely hot, and then I used a newer one for awhile, which I believe was a P4M, and it made my P3 feel cool.
I have to say the Intel Dual Core Processor is quite impressive. It's fast enough to run just about anything I throw at it, and still keep chugging, but I believe that the article negects the fact that the dual core processor runs extremely hot vs other Intel processor. My old Sony VAIO never got as hot as my MacBook Pro does, and it is something that should be considered.
Most people who drink do it to get drunk. For those who want the taste, like those at wine clubs, they can't use the stuff since the alchocol in wine is naturally made, and you couldn't get the same flavor with this stuff.
I can't speak for EFI, but Apple's OpenFirmware on PowerPC machines supported serial consoles (and actually, on quite a few machines, is the only way to access it), and then allow network booting, directory listing, loading OF device drivers, browse filesystems, etc. That's firmware level, so it's always there should my harddrive suddenly go dead.
I use Java, write applications in it, and for the most part, it is fairly fast. However, Swing is unbearably slow, which is WHY everyone feels Java is slow. Swing, while billed to intergrate with the native environment, barely does so - for instance, on Mac OS X, Swing draws menubars in the window instead of using the master menubar at the top. I find Swing is a "Write once, Kludge everywhere" solution to make it look correct on all platforms. If Sun would replace Swing with something like SWT as the offical toolkit to something like SWT then things would be better.
Sweet. Apple's warrenty and repair service has never managed to let me down. Most other companies would state that the problem is in the users head, and save themselves $$$ by ignoring the issue.
Oracle had free developer versions for ages, it's just that they now have better developer tools, and that itself is old news. Oracle been doing this for the better part of a month.
As for TOAD, it's price tag is so rediciously high for small-scale developers or those using the free edition of Oracle for deployment, so here's hoping the toad will just croak.
With Ingress being open-sourced and what-not, Oracle got to be feeling the heat. While it's the only one that can scale to Forture 100 needs at the moment, it's quickly loosing it's gap as PostgreSQL, Ingres, and Firebird all race to get that top position. Now if they open-source Oracle, I think they might have a chance in hell.
I think in some places the code is nicer, but for all, I don't like the bloated fonts, and it's still fairly ugly. Hopefully the staff will keep tuning the style-sheets to make this look decent.
I do the same thing, with my older V710, and my newer E815. Both these phones take the Transflash cards that the ROKR uses, and have been out longer. I had an iPod, and I didn't use it much because I didn't want to bother with having a second pocket. I have a 256MB flash card in my phone - half the size of the ROKRs card, yet I've managed to cram the entire Final Fantasy VII soundtrack (4 CDs - 4.1 hours) onto the transflash and still have room to spare. I would get a ROKR if it was unlocked (and a CDMA version was available) but since it's a Cingular exclusive, I wouldn't bother. I would have still thought about it if I didn't have to deal with a 100 song limit - I intend to get a 512MB/1GB card when they become mass marketable, and then cram even more music on it. I even play iTMS music on it - it just requires an extra step to play. Apple dropped the ball on this one, and I have no problem admitting it. Also, from what I've heard from the leaked flashs of the ROKR (which is compatiable with the Motorola E396), the iTunes java version is laggy, and poorly intergrated. I haven't used it myself, but right now, my 100 song MP3 phone is better then an iPod because I don't need to remember to lug and charge a second device.
(as for battery life, I can use the MP3 player on a full charge with a headset for a good 6-8 hours and still have one to two bars left).
I should note that while bnetd didn't support key authorization, it's replacement, PvPGN which is a code fork of bnetd, does. It can authenticate keys, and reject clients if they don't have a proper key. The problem is the strictly open-source nature of PvPGN, anyone can comment out toe code to do this (or just mearly turn it off in the config file).
