I feel there may be as much destruction following a tsunami due to looting and pillaging. If, and I do mean if, we can evacuate Manhattan, or Boston, or any large city, in a few hours, imagine the national guard force needed to maintain order and assist with the clean-up. Whether you approve or disapprove, our national guard is stretched pretty thin with this Iraq situation.
Besides all the technical problems with traffic, breakning other code, and just another trojan, who decides what is good v. bad? What if there is a over-zealous religious fanatic that writes code which will prevnet you from visiting any sit that THEY feel is inappropriate, not just pr0n? Kinda like what a vigilante is doing in Utah Or a government agency preventing access to public records until a investigation completes? Or maybe a political party might release a worm that prevents you from looking up the goods on a candidates business history, or typing 'miserable failure' into Google. Maybe Microsoft could release BHO code which looks at the URL before IE sends the request, and if the URL contains Linux or Apple, whoops, here is microsoft.com
Another big difference between the two is the fact that Mozilla even uses a publicly available bug list - Bugzilla. Theoreticaly, we all have a list of potential exploits at our finger tips. Could you imagine a list like that for IE? Maybe that's just what they need.
They're probably working with IE 'cause its so prevalent. There's a big base of coders out there that know Windows/IE pretty well. Also, it's the open standards for web plug-ins, you can use which ever crappy browser you want.
Isn't it time Microsoft give in and just issue a warning on each OS sold that it is not in the best interest of the user to use IE? Maybe a posting on top of every msn/hotmail webpage. Or will we have to wait until a boardmember loses wads of money or stock trades? Perhaps this is why the IE development team is being brought together again. Although, I think it would be best to get a NEW development team together.
I think most businesses are afraid to change since everyone is comfortable with the staus quo. But that's a whole 'nother discussion we don't need to get into again.
Apple designs the boxes like this so that users can install new drives by just plugging them in. They are all for ease-of-use by way of USB and Firewire. The only reason to open a box would be to add RAM.
I just took a quick glance at the Apple site, and didn't see anything. But doesanyone know if Panther's FileVault option encrypts the users swap as well, or is that strictly used by the OS and outside of FileVault's control?
I work in a hospital where much of our lab equipment comes as part of a package deal. The Heomdialysis Unit, for instance, has multiple types of machines, from various vendors. For about $20k a piece, we get a machine, and the software to run it. We get software upgrades and hardware upgrades *FREE* with our service contract. The nice thing about it is, no one at the hospital has to know how to program them, and when one breaks, a service rep comes out to fix it, with time, travel, and parts included. We even get new machines as models are upgraded. You could easliy market this as state of the art software, with free hardware to run it. The hardware is so specialized though, that we can't do much else with it, so it may as well be free.

OK, I'll put it out there. What recovery options work for each system. Sure, I could reinstall apps and data from backups, but a faster app or option? Diskwarrior, Norton, or reading raw disk data and rewritting? I must admit, I don't know how rm deletes files/directories.
No, I didn't do this too, if I did, I'd post as anonymous coward.
I was just reading the dity on BioTeams site about iNquery, and spotted this:
Apple Mac OS X users can deploy their own iNquiry clusters on Xserve or G5 systems via a unique self-deployment method that uses an Apple iPod as a cluster installation and configuration device.
Now I need to get an iPod too. I've booted Mac for repair using a system on an iPod, but I had no idea it could be used for that kind of cluster too. I guess I just didn't think about it enough. Cool.

I bet Comcast is thinking of the user that sets it up w/o changing default settings, and then calls Comcast to ask why email is loading so slowly. Comcast then sees that half the building is using his WiFi for free.
With respect to 1G email storage and 30Mg limits... Just as many family emails go out now with a picture or two, folks will soon want video email attachments. Not to mention the pr0n industry! This seems to be getting the hardware and software in place and allow for tweeking later. Maybe Peter Jackson will just email the dailies of King Kong, or the next movie, to himself and others in far flung countries, instead of carrying them around in his iPod.
Many offices have at least a few Apples in one department or another. We have iTunes on all our machines, and with network sharing, we all can enjoy the plethera of songs. Napster, so far, has no OS X client. Not to mention the built in radio browser for radio stations all over the world, not just Napster's brand. And with daapd, linux can share along too.
(Even Gnome and KDE couldn't seem to resist sticking to the Windows-esque concept of some sort of START type button in a corner of the screen with menu windows popping open from it, listing the applications you can launch. OS X bypassed that completely with the "dock" idea.)
Actually, that's all from Apple's Apple menu in the top left. M$ jsut made it drop and added a word.

Ouch! Now my nose hurts.

just a little something I picked up watching the trailer...

I'm sure a lot of integration with the upcoming Xsan as well.
What a lot of work, I'll just stick with Windows.
...in which case you have to periodically just rebuild the whole damn car
And don't be bothered if someone else takes it out for a spin one day

I would have assumed it'd be the other way around, since the kids were already used to windows. ...so they were very adept at ctrl-alt-del X2

When did the Swedish Chef start reading /.
Yeah, it's a silly article, but I bet the site is getting a lot of hits, and a lot of adverts seen! Isn't that what pointy haired bosses need to see?
