There's a limit to the number of times you can burna specific PLAYLIST to a CD. You can burna given song as many times as you want, but if you want more than 7 copies of a certain CD, you'll need to re-create the playlist. All that rule does is make it more of a pain for someone to burn copies of his iTunes songs for his entire school.
Thing is, as the graphics get better, so do our abilities to discern between them and real life. When I first saw the old man from the Final Fantasy movie I couldn't have told you it was fake; however, I could say the same thing about the first Tekken PS2 showcase. Now, both are easy for me to tell from real life.
If you post a page on almost any hosting service, and put kiddie porn on it, it'll likely get taken down. If you host it yourself, they'll probably trace your IP address, shut down your domain, etc.
But if you connect to IRC through a proxy there's very little anyone can do.
I can't believe that the editors (are there any?) let this article see the light of day.
The story got mentioned on Slasdhot, MyAppleMenu, and Spymac... it's gotten plenty of coverage. I never never that site existed until this article. Its sole purpose, I believe, was to get Slashdotted.
If the RIAA paid M$ (And I'm sure they do) M$ might use this to scan your computer for copyrighted music. And so on. This is "trusted computing"... As in, he RIAA can trust my computer, not me.
I trust my own damn computer. If I want to store hundreds of illegal documents on an encrypted disk image, I'm confident it won't send the password to Apple or the government. I know it won't be hacked into because it uses RSA's proven encryption. It's MY computer, and if I want to use it to do things that industry X doesn't want me to do, then you'll have to be a little more clever than scanning my hard drive to catch me.
If Microsoft wrote their own encryption scheme (and maybe they have) I wouldn't trust it with anything.
Indeed. Truly Finder's search (Unix search maybe?) is an amazing thing.
When I first switched and searched my HD for a file, I remember thinking, "It's not working" because the search was over so fast (and I had mistyped the keyword.):/
Please, please don't recommend SuperG. It clogs the already crowded 2.4GHz band... as has been noted on/. before.
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, then you pretty much have that band to yourself. But for the same reason people don't play loud music, eventually using this much of the unlicensed spectrum will be taboo... at least, I hope so.
Well.... no, it's not. It'll be at least 6 months, probably more.
Finder is the top listing. So, you couldn't find files before? No tool to help you seek what you are looking for? Yes, yes there was. What does this top listed improvement give me? Hint: Pretty Icon layout. How much was that worth?
Actually they did vastly improve the Finder in Panther - and none of the improvements had anything to do with the icons (except for the colored labels). Off the top of my head, there's a new, highly convenient sidebar, and Folder Actions allow you to attach an Applescript to a folder any time something happens to said folder, which is really cool (and useful).
The improvements to Mail aren't eye candy - the biggest one, organizing email by discussion, is really nice, similar to what Google's webmail gives you, only in a desktop app.
Slashdot Mirror
That's a surprise? You must be new here.
You forgot to post anonymously.
Or you can just drag the songs to a new playlist every 7 burns, delete the old old, and get 7 more. Like I said, it only makes it less convenient.

It is not a DRM issue.

I think I figured it out... what they meant was "one year AGO" and "ten years AGO".
Maybe.
Or the editors are still dumb, that's always a possibility.
A dialog box would pop up asking for the root password. At that point one presumes the user knows enough not to type it in.
You would HOPE so.... This has proven to be a very unreliable strategy in the past though.

Sheesh I can't type today

And by the way, Apple is dying.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. I was under the impression that people have been getting AP credit for C++ for years...
To code it or to run it? :)
(On a related note, an exam based on AppleScript would take about a week...)
Yeah, I didn't. I forgot to add to the end (like I usually do)
Ah, so all of Windows' important files are encrypted. ;)
Gotcha.

2. Better security. No better way to iron all the bugs out than opening up the source.
:)
No kidding. I mean, look at how secure Win2k is now that it's OSS!
*ducks*

My point is that now that 10.4 is about to ship

That sig is awesome.
Yes, that is all
- Panther's Dock crashes more than Jaguar's did. I'd like to see that fixed.
- Improved WebDAV browsing - it's slower than Samba.
Just off the top of my head.
I agree.... especially since this worm doesn't affect my OS. :)
Wheres my new powerbook?
:P
Probably still waiting to come back from getting fixed.
Some of us use Mac OS X.
....
....
....you insensitive clod! XD
Darwanism at work.
;)
funny you should mention the kernel that runs Mac OS X....
