Err, actually I think the most likely outcome is sporting rights only being sold to companies who are rich enough to buy the global - or pan-European - rights. That probably means Murdocjh and a few others and it probably means that they will be able to beat the sporting bodies down in price since there will be so few broadcasters able to afford global rights.... I suppose Eurovision might be able to bid as a cartel.
Safari has set a ’quarantine' bit on downloaded executables since at least 10.4 - this ensures that newly downloaded executables trigger an alert when they are first run.
Well, as I understand this, it is simply an executable with a PDF icon and file extension. I presume therefore that when the user tries to open it they get the standard 'This is an application downloaded from the Internet do you really want to run it?’ alert.
Reaching back a bit, I think the use was that it meant that Windows NT and successors could tick the "Posix compliant" tick box that was required by some (mainly publice sector) contracts.
They aren't tracking you, if you don't use their services. However if you run a wireless router, they *may* record the location of that and use it to help ocate people who want their location used.
You will be able to say 'don't use my basestation' to help people determine their location.
No. The OP claimed that it was *more* difficult to discern the problem. The sub-text being that the dumbed-down cutesy GUI prevented you from getting at low level diagnostics.
Really? You find it difficult to pull up System Profiler Apple >About this Mac > More info and click on USB to see what USB devices the Mac can see?
Either it can see nothing which usually means broken cable, or it can see something unrecognisable, meaning it either isn't supported or needs additonal software from the device manufacturer. Not exactly rocket science.
Not stupid at all. My aged parents get horribly confused with accidentally clicking the wrong mouse button. I'm extraordinarily pleased that I can configure OS X to ignore right click and then can continue to access all the features of the OS

Perhaps Posix is no longer on so many checklists.
No, it's the argument we have for not installing OS X on random bits of kit.
I'm unclear whether you are standing like a rock or swimming, or this occasion.

Why not simply have two separate accounts, rather than duplicating the entire OS?
It might be the Basic manuals that came with the Sinclair ZX81 or the TRS-80 or the Commodore 64
Not resolving here using VirginMedia in East London, currently.
Redundant? Who modded this redundant? At the very least it's an interesting point of view.
Oh, I assumed that the posting was caused by the spasming bought on by the force with which your jerking knee it your chin.
Sorry, forgot to check for replies :-) Coming now.

No-one is hoping to make money from them.
What are the odds that they will fail at exactly the same time as your desktop?
There's a nice little free app called BackupLoupe that will let you examine what was backed up and when.

... if anyone still needs them
Not only that. I find myself in full agreement with a Microsoft lawyer. Oh what a world!
And that was moderated Insightful?
As an Apple fan - you have this exactly right.
Sorry - exactly which functions were you having difficulty access?
