By "all", I meant all the (known) bugs that were going to be protected by the shield. If they know about them, they should just damn fix them and not build a separate wall to address them.
As for script malware, how is the shield going to protect it if they don't know about it in the first place? updates, updates, updates. And always one, two or three steps behind the bad guys. How about having an OS -now- that has a browser in a sandbox, where bad code doesn't affect the system? Why put up with an OS that doesn't have that? Why wait until they hopefully get it partly right, but with new security holes that are just different from the last ones?
Just an interesting question. What happens if the shield blocks MS updates?
No, we hate the idea because it's bloody fucking obvious to everyone except Microsoft that they should fix all the vulnerabilites in IE before building a wall around them. In other words, use the shield code to FIX IE.
Yes, firewalls do this, but you don't see Mailman building a mail shield to protect its vulnerabilities - they fix them. You don't see Firefox building a web shield to protect its vulnerabilites - they fix them. Etc, etc, etc.
The concept from MS is fine. The implementation, as is typical, is truly horrendous. Insecure layer after insecure layer will hopefully catch some of the bad stuff, but won't truly protect you because it's not built with fundamental security as a principal idea, but as an after thought. Now, you're going to have to update Windows, IE, AND the web shield. One more way to help users...or not.
Heh, I've seen people that can't quite grasp the concept of putting items in their dock. Time Machine is going to be just too far out there for stupids.
BUT THE MACBOOK & OS X ISN'T HACKED. It's a third party card, running a third party driver, and guess what? OS X doesn't have root enabled by default, so I seriously doubt they got root access without changing it.
I call a LOT of bullshit for making this out to be an Apple issue. Not default hardware, not default wireless settings, not default security settings, but it's still a hack and Apple's fault? Riiight.
Maybe you should read it yourself. And in actual context.
As has been pointed out elsewhere, the press in the Constitution is NOT the Press/4th Estate of today. It was the phyiscal means for representing speech, ie a printing press.
THERE ARE NO SPECIAL TERMS FOR JOURNALISTS IN THE CONSTITUTION.
They are only citizens like the rest of us. They can get just as abused by the powers that be as the rest of us. And that is what they should be reporting. Not whining that their mis-interpretation affords them special rights.
My 5 yr old just got this as well. It helps a LOT to stabilize not just the track, but the loop as well. You can actually hear the cars going around faster.
But then, it's not so much fun to just sit there with your hand on the loop, watching cars just go round & round.
And they're working on a new version. Yeah, it may not be just a typical upgrade, but it's not being discontinued. I'm guessing it will be Intel only for the speed. http://www.capria.tv/2006/06/21/farewell-shake/

But that's just my opinion...
Safari>Private Browsing
Doesn't write files in the first place, so there's nothing to delete.
Very nice.
Macs have had this capability for roughly four years now.
Well, Apple has an out.
All of their systems - hardware AND software - will be 64 bit.
And Tiger is already mostly 64 bit.
Same siituation on OS X client. There is no root account, so it can't log in either.
Of course, you can sudo su and have a pseudo root account, but that's not a full root login.
Why?
Why not just put the AV on the Windows box?
You're just wasting your time & CPU cycles putting it on a box that has no need for it.
Hey, that helped!! Thanks!!
Heh, I've seen people that can't quite grasp the concept of putting items in their dock. Time Machine is going to be just too far out there for stupids.
Damn. I like licking 9V batteries :-)
I never get viruses in Mac OS X. Because there aren't any. Yet. Of course, I've been saying that for five years now.
A couple of trojans, maybe. And of course, they required admin privs. Not much of a trojan there.
Yes, users will always be able to rm -rf ~. It's their user space, they can do what they want with it. You can't protect people from stupid.
No, it wasn't.
Reading your link, search for the comment by rahrens, get answers to the questions and and see if you still think it's an OS X hack.
Hint, it's not.
Sure, that's a fine point.

Dancing around center???
Pass me that bottle, it's almost gone!
Would that be slip kid or analog kid? Or maybe you meant New World Man?

Why are you saying that Apple discontinued Shake?
I can buy it right now, and it's available on Mac & Linux. Granted, it's just a wee bit more on Linux...

I'll click on all the damn links I want!! I've got a Mac!!
Oh, wait, I just got a new MacBook/Parallels/WinXP. Dammit!!
Sure, just help Mom-n-Pop set up a WSUS server AND a private secure network...at each of the ~100 million homes running Windows & updates.
Office computers are much less of a problem for spreading viruses/trojans/malware than Mom-n-Pop's computer.
Which is why TFA was posted in the first place.
"Wright 5 dollars"
Does it have an old plane as the background image??
Sorry, but no. It came with my Sony Erricson T616, I didn't get it anywhere.
But, but....it's 2.4Ghz!!! They're reeeaaally fast!!
I can play Qbert on mine, so it must be fast!!
But the angles were too hard...
