A lot of this came about because of the rash of URL handler exploits in Mac OS X recently.
In the mad rush to secure Mac OS X, two groups emerged. The Paranoid Android (based upon APE) and the RCDefault/More Internet side.
Unsanity (makers of PA) had a incomplete product at first that could not keep up with the rapid new discoveries. It was designed to check the URL handlers for you for suspicious behavior, problem was it didn't cover all the URL handlers.
v 1.1 was no good and finally unsanity came out with v 1.2 which covered them better.
Now on the other side of the camp is the RCDefaultApp and More internet crowd, which schooled people to turn off/reassign the URL handlers themselves with a very easy to use program.
Their argument was that one didn't need to install a "haxie" (in their own words) "injects code in all your programs" &
"they do their thing by violating the boundaries of protected memory."
Either way, I'm glad the Mac community turned out in force to solve these problems in a jiffy, Apple should be ashamed of themselves, being warned over 4 months ago about them.
If using Paranoid Android was the only option to prevent these exploits, I'm sure everyone would be happy using it. But it seems to me just disabling the URL handlers manually until needed or reassigning would have been a better option.
I'm glad we had a choice, so kudos to both and thanks.
There is already a defense against ground skimming cruise missles. It's called a Phalanx system, and it's nothing more than a gattling gun and a radar. Shoots a wall of lead in front of the missile. Works automatically on multiple targets.
Wasn't this the same city that employed face recognition cameras on all the city streets, just to pull them after finding out it doesn't work?
Isn't this the state that makes having AppleCare illegal?
Of course we all know about the election mess...
There has to be something in the swamp water most Floridians drink.

Gates made a backdoor deal with some very powerful people in Washington to keep his software "loose" so that as Windows took over the world the CIA and NSA could have field day.
This is how he got out of the Justice Department's noose. Billy has always been willing to give anyone anything they wanted, and they have returned the favor.
A little science article I read a few years back demonstrated how a DNA based brute force decryption can be achieved in a simple test tube. It works by giving every possible combination and a process of elimination of the results narrows down the correct answers.
So somehow, somewhere the NSA has a team of scientists and big vats of programable DNA combining to give them all the answers they want, it just takes time to sort through all the answers.
Taxes are used as a leverage to get buisness and people to do things, since countries can print up more money anytime they wish. So one blanket tax would be ineffective control tool.
yep Pixar now has G5's and dumped whatever they were using before. And X-Grid 2 now uses command line shell. I'm drooling for a OS X version, no more slow games EVER!
From what I read about their software, Microsoft wrote the napster code, so what's the difference? Napster is just a RIAA and M$ front, because sharing playlists means "reporting" on your music collection IMO.
Even at 88 a song, Walmart's biggest cliental is country music folks, since tests have shown that the overwhelming amount of computer users prefer Rock. I don't see much of a future for them either.

Isn't this the whole point of this project? To get away from using the traditional rockets and create a space plane?
When iTunes first came out there was no iTMS (iTunes Music Store), I said to myself "Well this is a great program to manage music, now I need to get me some" It was begging me to fill it up.
Since I never used P2P services, I naturally started subscribing to cd clubs, buying them in large shipments at a time. Ripping became a nightly chore.
Then the iTMS came out and that Really got me going.
So I believe there are millions of Mac and PC folks like myself that got started buying music, just because of iTunes.
Apple hit the nail on the head with this new market. And they did it right the first time.
I know I was a "gifted" child as well, what a drag that was, a problem that may occur with gifted children with so many people telling them that they are smart that they think of themselves up pedestal, "nobody can teach me anything".
They then fail to grasp basic human communication of saying something, then letting the other person respond, then adding to that. Sort of playing tennis with conversation, if left uncorrected it's more like they do all the talking and not any listening and not participate in any group
Role playing games like Dungeon and Dragons helps the gifted child see how to place themselves in others shoes, and see how others see him, how to work in groups.
He will then see how people react if he leaves his hair dirty, his shoes untied etc., and fit in better with society.
TV shows like Cheers shows a human group interaction, which each member is a part, not a isolated nobody
It's important to keep placing the child in situations where he gets exposure to group behavior and positive influence.
It's also important to teach and reinforce to the child if he's getting depressed, it's probably because he's isolating himself (everybody needs daily human conversation), once he begins to change his appearance for the better he will get rewarded with more conversation from people, which will alleviate the separation depression, with his smarts he may even turn into a social genius.
Sociology rule number #1: Man is a herd animal, prolonged separation from the group is frustrating to him.
Holy cow I think my Karma may finally rise!

Fought like hell, settled, played nice with each other for 5 years, just to find out each really didn't like each other after all.
I got iTunes before there was a iTunes Music Store in it, with it's cool visuals and powerful organization features, it just begged me to fill it up.
So I went to numerous cd clubs and bought around 400 cds of music and spent every night ripping all that music in and zoning out.
Then iTMS came out and well now I throw a cd a week in and got a few iPods and been a happy camper ever since.
