You're going to want to type all your code on the iPhone itself and compile apps on it? The iPhone simulator simulates multitouch pinch and zoom by holding the option key down which displays 2 circles on the simulator screen. You move your mouse around and the 2 circles move like your fingers. I'm sure someone will find a way to put apps on the iPhone without the App Store application because XCode can do it, unless you can't run the app without XCode running but I don't actually have an iPhone to try it out.
Maybe because I want to be able to do more than email and web surf? That EEE PC is slow as shit from what I've seen. I don't know if I could even stand using it just for email and web browsing.
I've heard the same thing but nothing first hand. That was with the 1.0 version too, not any newer version. I think the 1.0 was pretty raw but has gotten a lot better since then.
You've heard of ADC Select developer account right? You know you get pre release versions of the OS right? And a free final version when it's released right? And with your advanced beta copies you get all the access to the new APIs months before the software comes out right?
People buying either HD-DVD or Blu-Ray before a few weeks ago knew eventually one format would be dead. If it turns out to be the format they bought then tough for them. If they didn't want to be stuck with a useless piece of hardware(for future movies anyways) they should have just waited until the format war was over.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the implementation is like File Vault where an AES encrypted disk image is created and that's used as your swap volume. So, theoretically it should be fairly secure. I'm not sure what it uses for the key but it's likely your account password.
Mac OS X has secure virtual memory. I don't know if anyone has tested this to see if it actually provides any security but on my system it's a single checkbox "Use secure virtual memory" in the security preference pane.
Maybe you should check your mail format because I'm on many email lists and I've always seen unsubscribe links at the bottom of messages. Actually, looking in the Mail preferences I don't see anything to not show footers. Maybe your message is malformed.
I've been using Apple Mail since 10.0 and it's generally fine. I can't complain at all. Rush's problem seems to be that he doesn't get that Time Machine works at best on an hourly schedule. And I don't know why he's deleting emails left and right if he really needs them. If you get an email after Time Machine did it's last backup but before the next one and you delete it from the Trash in Mail then there's no backup of that email. You may ask why is he deleting emails so often that he really needs. Just file it away or stop emptying the trash every minute. Or don't use IMAP because all the email is on the server not your computer so it's no wonder it's not going to be backed up by Time Machine.
They actually have math consultants for that show to make sure the math is at least plausible. The part that's not likely is the short amount of time Charlie is able to do all of his amazing math feats in.
You might remember the Canadian guy that was selling cannabis seeds to people in the US. In Canada it's NOT illegal to sell seeds. He is being extradited to the US because he broke US law and DID NOT break any Canadian laws. The fucking government is always bowing down to the US.
That's what's BS about this whole TSA crap. You go into a private building and they don't let you leave under your own will, basically holding you hostage if they think they have any reason to do it. You should be allowed to leave the airport if they don't want to let you on the plane without searching your ass.
There's a certain type of person that thinks they must be smarter than everyone else because they don't watch TV. They think every movie plot is crap, tv is all crap, their RSS feeds are the shit. I watch lots of tv and am happy that this is finally going to be resolved.
That comes on OS X by default but to make Windows equal in potential flaws you have to install it on Windows too. Stuff like that gets complicated fairly fast. Quicktime shares code between OS X and Windows and most of the recent flaws regarding rtsp were the same result on either platform which was DOS or potential execution of arbitrary code.
I think the GP is suffering from the engineering pompous ass syndrome. I've noticed this a lot from most engineers. They think they are something special because they are engineers. Even the professors say stuff like that and drill it into the student's head that they are better than the lowly worker because they are an engineer.
Maybe if you were in Software Engineering instead of Computer Science you would understand the difference. Software Engineering is applying the engineering principles to software design, to make it more robust and accountable. There may be laws in place that state software companies can't be held liable because of some EULA but that does not mean that SE does not try to apply the engineering discipline to software. In fact, the first 2 years of my program, SE, was taking regular engineering courses along side mechanical, electrical, chemical etc.
And, that's a stupid classification to be called an engineer. According to you, you're only an engineer if your stuff can kill someone and you go to jail or be fined or lose your license. That's bullshit. I can write the P.Eng exam in Ontario and become a professional engineer if I pass the test and meet all other requirements.

And there's a $299 enterprise program as well which is extremely cheap for an enterprise to create and deploy custom applications.
Tell that to the idiots that come here to Southern Ontario to go skiing in the summer.

Says who? Did you use your time machine to go in to the future or what? Just because that's the theory doesn't mean it's true.
For people here that's not that hard but how can you expect anyone who's not a nerd to even contemplate doing what you suggest.

He can't even buy a new router for $40 to solve his problem, or just open the damn ports so it works. PEBKAC

If you don't want your stuff taken can't you just tell them to fuck off and leave the airport. That is if you're in your own country I mean.

That's only the home folder.
Most of my SE professors at UWO are P.Eng.
