Stop locking yourself away as the weird IT guy. Also makes it easier to get another person on board, as the need arises.
Only if someone can find the cutting room floor footage of Obi-Wan selecting from a number of messages for him (maybe from Anakin) to play the one from the Princess.
I can see why it would be cut, it would give away the whole storey in the first half hour.
That's really only and issue because old switching equipment was hugh, i mean the stuff took up vast amounts of building space. So cables run all the way to the exchange and sure they stop in a couple of places and get tied in to other cables to continue the journey.
These days the switches can be very small, i'm sure you could fit a switch in the same space of the junction boxes.
So are the Junction boxes more than a 100m if so how hard in most places would it be to add extra junction boxes then treat each junction box as a switch instead of bring it all the way back to the exchange.
Fibre all these new switches in a big mesh and you have a pretty wide network then agian you might have just made latency the issue instead.
In urban areas this might be a good plan, you have lots of consumers in range junction boxes you have more in buildings with enough space already dedicated to have their own switch. You have underserviced demand. Oh and the biggest factor the old exchange which will soon be empty is probably sitting on a very valuable bit of land in the centre of town.
The only thing that needs to be uniform is the request for a long link in a short form. After all this is the service that tinyurl and the likes are providing. The format of the short form can be whatever the webmaster see as fit for their needs.
So if i want to link to a website, (say www.example.com/obscene/amount/of=text) that has it's own tiny engine I'd know if i could try the same request modified in a simple way (say link.example.com/obscene/amount/of=text) a get either a 404 if they don't support the system, or a link page if they do.
I guess it would be ok if there was a couple of request styles (like apache using something different to microsoft) as you'd just get a plug-in to a bulk request in all styles, but if each domain had it's own system then everyone would just falls back on the centralized systems like tinyurl.
Wait they run unsupported Verion Like it Next Machine was a Mac.
I think the answer to your question is just there. People cluey enough to run the hacked OS are either going to realise the value of bundled hardware and software or live with "not quite as it should be".
People who buy a shrink wrapped OS in a box aren't.
But can you turn that in to a self sustaining business?
I'd really like to see it. It would be good for the Industry if you started a company, maybe not Apple sized, that built a solution/product based on Linux. It doesn't really matter which Market/industry/Product you wish pick, but the management guru types would say to pick one you have passion for.
What really matters is that more and more people will expect to find a company that has them in mind, if more and more of theses companies exist. Instead of going with the common dominator suppler who at least offers strength in numbers.
As an Optimist i like working with pessimists. Well at least the ones with your outlook. I know i can bounce ideas off them and quickly refine it to a workable solution. By using their innate ability to see the problems. Better still if challenged they see workable solutions in crazy solutions.
Or are they the ones challenging me to workable solutions? I'm not sure. I do know that if working with someone who puts up the wall of "that won't work" the ideas become crazier not saner.
It kinda fun working with the good ones. The bad ones quickly implode.
Well it would take testing if your concerned, but i understand you can specify files, folders and the like to be ignored by Time Machine. So specify the public folder not to be backed up, and concern is gone.
I would have thought it would be handled the same way Podcasts where handled.
Which is really just a list of RSS that have been registered with them. Indeed they could provide a link to an RSS feed of the application. No need to track updates or than thing on there part.
Yet Apple doesn't just not comment on future products. They completely reject there existence. often sighting reasons for them not to exist (on this current day). It's seems the more explains why product x just is a no go, the more obvious it is they are working on something, but haven't got the formula right.
Well, interesting option for experiment mark 2. Would be to seed the torrent as a full album bundle. But include a small payment widget. Not nagware but friendly like.
Apple already have Grey market protection with the requirement for iTunes account Want to use an unlocked French Phone in another country then you'll need a French iTunes account and a french credit card.
Or you sync it only to your American account and the next update you gets locks you to at&t. Most likely with a small warning.
Not to mention Apple already have Grey market Protection. You need an iTunes account locally to get updates. All the American iTunes account updates will have at&t locked firmware. So you'll need a French Credit card and iTunes account to keep the phone unlocked.
Why wouldn't it have a stylus? As i understand the technology used in the current screens/touchs wheels is that it requires the conductivity direct human contact for it to work. But there are ski gloves on the market that provide an electrical conductivity between the finger and wheel so you can use your iPod in the freezing cold with fingers staying toasty and warm.
So why couldn't a stylus use the same conductivity?
If so the screen could then tell the difference between figure and stylus seemlessly by the size of the pressure point and the OS react accordingly. Indeed if you could make a conductive rubber or flexible stylus those conductivity was effected by pressure then the OS could add support for pen weight as well.

There are already any number of interesting targets that are mac based or mixed platform.
Adding this one only makes it a little more interesting.
BTW. the FBI pus out a very nice cheat sheet to securing your mac.
Yep, great post Indeed the Public Interest is not merely what is of interest to the public.
Nar God is having sunday off as we speak, is about 4000 years in to his/her sunday apparently.
So s/he has about 761 million years of sunday left.
oh Wait then it's monday agian!!!!!!
Isn't Quartz basically just a DisplayPDF to OpenGL translator?
Well with a few other tricks attached.

As a gay man i'd just like to say i find nothing remotely 'gay' about that name.
Also add "application based firewall" to that list of Leopard for Iphone Apps
It could be more interesting that they may have been talking to Nokia, about such issues.
What with Nokia's use of WebKit, and arm based devices.
