Close to the second - not only is there no store, but there's no way to legally get content (for the most part), period. I suspect that an iMac with a TV tuner, the iTunes (or quicktime) movie store, the video iPod, and Airport Express for video will all hit at around the same time. What a glorious day/month/year that will be...
When they first made the desk accessories on the original Macintosh.
Copied Arlo my ass. The only thing that makes people say it's copied is because the widgets look similar - but that makes sense. Arlo used to work at Apple, so why wouldn't he share some of its design tendencies?
Did Napster actually get sued for damages though, or only ordered to shut down?
If the latter (I never remember hearing anything about Napster having to pay damages) then that strategy is harmless. There are too many trackers to just have them shut down.
In other news, The NYT have picked up on a story from Slashdot with "undeniable proof" that Google is planning to use RFID tags to take satellite photos of people.
I collaborate online with tons of people outside the US - and their political opinions may rub off on me, and their take on a Bush website might have slanted me towards Bush.... but gee, I guess not.
And, as others have said, it shows his attitude towards the rest of the world.
Combining not broadcasting an SSID, MAC access control, WEP, and IP address management can go a long ways.
Are you kidding? I know how to set up exactly one of those techniques - and I'm a geek. What chance does Joe Public have of knowing how to make his network even remotely secure?
I take it you've never actually used tabs. Or, you haven't used a lot of tabs at once. If you use windows, tabs let you browse a gajillion sites without cluttering up your taskbar; in MacOS, without cluttering up your desktop. In Safari, I can cmd-click on link after link in a page and they open *behind* the current page. You just can't do that without tabs.
RSS means that the same content available on websites is available in a feed. Since it bears repeating, that's the same content, at the same time.
The other thing it's having going for it is its popularity among web developers. Most web developers could care less about a usenet group and don't want to go to the trouble of a mailing list. Something like HTML on a smaller scale - whether it's good or not doesn't matter, what's important is that it's everywhere, and it's (usually) consistent. More sites with RSS mean more people will be interested in RSS readers, and it builds on itself.
Eventually, most RSS programs are going to get folded into the browser anyway
What makes you say that? That's like saying email will be folded into the browser - sure, there's webmail, or Mozilla Suite, but they're different applications with different purposes. Unless they do something ridiculously clever, I don't see how a browser can offer any more than basic RSS support without becoming bloated.
Slashdot Mirror
We can't moderate people "incomprehensible" because that would be "redundant" on slashdot. ;-)

The whole thing was actually Apple's idea.
20 years ago.

But if you're only uploading 2% of a given file to someone, are you still liable? if 50 people upload 2% of a file each, who gets nailed for sharing?
The best answer is the one running the tracker, but then, they're not providing any content.
So while it's easy to find out who's sending data, it won't be so easy on the legal side to actually prosecute them for it.
In a time when our enemies justify their actions in the name of God, is it wise to have a President who does the same?
"Is he white?"
"Is he a he?"
Accidental microwavings
;) :P )
Well, accidental? I always microwave them on purpose.

Apply the coating to the other side of the disk? (this answer is serious
I don't know, who?
I hear Google is indexing your spam in Gmail for searching too.

MSFT was an underdog with noble goals once upon a time.
Can you give me a single noble goal MSFT ever had?

You read it here first.

I don't see Safari as a threat to IE.... unless someone thinks it's good enough to warrant buying a Maac over a PC. It's good.... but not that good...
I suspect it's more like: You have the choice of getting shot in the nuts, or shot in the chest.
It's not that it's difficult, Bob - it's that I just don't care. And I'm pretty sure most people don't.
Which is my point, really. Make it so easy to secure, I can do it without caring - "Do you want to secure this?" "Yes" "Okay, type a password"
Combining not broadcasting an SSID, MAC access control, WEP, and IP address management can go a long ways.

- Stuff unrelated to driving, like the MP3 player.
I wouldn't call this unrelated to driving - I actually only listen to my iPod while driving. It keeps me focused and awake.
Unless you meant something different.

I wish I could mod you (+1, Troll) on this one :-)

Right there with you. Safari and Newsfire are great at what they do, and no replacement for each toher. :-)
