Yeah, but unless you really have a habit of printing mucho pictures of your favourite furry wombat, what you get in local printshops is far better than anything a relativly cheap printer will give you.
When I was a young child a great author wrote the famous (in the meantime hollywood famous) lines "So long and thanks for all the fish". I think this may apply, in context and out, probable or improbable, well, really I guess it doesn't matter does it?
You know, as I was reading the article headline, why did I have this south-parkish feeling about it? Something about this headline just screams Cartman with a towl...
Well I actually thought the article was pretty good... I find Google's response to be lacking in sportsmanship and style. I thought the author's style was rather tongue in cheek and I suspect this is how cnet expected google to respond.
Aw c'mon, httpd.conf is a cinch! I am pretty much the local sendmail guru 'round here and let me tell you that having set up over a hundred web servers with apache, it's a snap by comparison!
Sendmail is evil, it's gnarly, it's bad-ass, it's uglier than 100ft Cortes Bank paddle-in attempt! Apache is smooth by comparison so quit moaning, it works!
Oh come on man, where is your reality distortion field, your supposed to feel chuffed at the ingenuity of the patriotic astronuts that have pulled together and overcome overwhelming odds! t'is just like a hollywood movie!
I just hope the gap filler didn;t leave a gap where hot gasses can unseat the tiles...
Well I must argue that Apple has a distinct advantage over the "competitor", namely that the core of it all is open source. you have the option to review and change it to suit your needs. Once osx becomes a mainstream x86 item, I do beleive that a community will evolve and thrive to make it a more palatable product. Whether Apple incorporates it into OSX in subsequent releases remains to be seen. For my own part, I am confident in my linux skills for the "geekin" out part and for the rest my mac does a good job of playing music and editing my snowboard vids...
Actually I think the biggest problem is the lack of "pat on the back", alot of IT folks end up doing alot of jim'l'fixit's and it becomes an expectation. I personally don't think I am underpaid but sometimes a hoot of "you da man" would do miracles for my smiling...yes, we have egos, yes they need stroking..
This is interesting as this may vary per jurisdiction. If you think about it, every attempt to log into my web server via ssh goes unpunished, this is however, using my network without permission. This is to my knowledge not punishable under current local laws unless the perp has actually succeded in accessing the system. Mere use of the network does not get the authorities wound up at all.
By analogy you should think then that merely using an unprotected wifi without accessing the actual computers would fall under the same regime?
Does anyone have a decent lowdown on these issues?
This sounds reasonably plausible, however, I do think that the media industry have done their deed insofar as all commercial platforms will have "fritz" technology in them. The question is not about the technology though, it is about how it will be implemented. From the reading of tfa, it actually sounds good, a kernel that can guarantee me that, if properly implemented, no unauthorised code will be run! Gee, isn't this what we want? Oh, and for those of us who do want to our 'thang' we can always go linux or darwin and hack at the kernel diffs...
It's okay, it's not great but then we should realize the world sucks and 1984 was a shit load cooler than 2005.
Well it is significant because linux users mostly on some form of Mozilla anyway. This figure represents the result of advertising campaign and signifies growth in the non-linux market.
Soon there will be more non-linux firefox users than linux users and that will represent a change in target audience and usability requriements. The product will evolve to serve it's new market. It's out of the geekzone...
I dunno in the US but in EU non-compete clauses are rarely enforced. I have been under them before and wiped my ass on them as well as remaining on good terms with the previous employer. It is simply not possible to stop someone from earning a living and that can sometimes mean betting on a different horse. However, if there is foul play and blatant abuse, then the law will step in.
iTunes is indeed lacking many things. This is not, however Apple's fault. This is because many recording industry folks have yet to license music for download. Often, the contract for producing an album will not allow the recording label to re-sell the product to a third party. The future herein lies in the fact that new artists and music will be iTunes compatible.
As for local music, this will change as apple expands its network of content managers and iTunes will probably end up dealing with the artist directly.
This is perhaps why some albums will never appear in iTunes, the record label wants the boxed cd set to be sold and not the download.
I must mention another alternative, where many good artists are trying something totally different. I am of course talking about Magnatune, where music is not evil. You should really check it out

I think that in the void of space, know one hears the lawyer scream.

I would imagine she'd be insulted by the insinuation that she was chosen for the job for anything else but her capabilities.
There is no significance, she flew the disco because she could.
Oh no! Watch out! *reality distortion field comes online* Ahhh nooo!! *Halo Effect in full force* MUST BUY IPOD! MUST BUY IPOD!!
And if you really want to get nitpicky... HyperCard laid the basics down back in the late 80's...

This has got to be in the top ten of /. trollposts ever...
whoever the author of this crap is, he had better crawl back into the slimy hole whence he came because he verges on libel and slander.

it ain't so.. *sob*

Well gee... the quixotic irony sets in.... next time I'll use the *sarcasm* tag.. drat, slash doesn't support that...
Uhh.. lemme guess.. when hell freezes over, pigs fly south for the winter and Osama hands himself in to the vegas vice squad in drag....

Hell has frozen over.
Pigs are flying south for the winter.
Osama has turned himself in to vegas county sheriff, dressed in drag.
and in other news: Apple has a two button mouse.
Next up: Apple to release a PDA.

And think of the millions of customers who may now save big time because the exploit is out in the open and will be fixed quickly.
Nah, any serious person will see that disclosing risks is the only way to go. Hiding them just makes things dangerous, they don't go away.

In terms of installed platforms I think IBM leads the OpenFirmware path but I could be mistaken.
