People who have used it report no performance degredation. And no, its nothing like Windows search, which Mac OS has also had since System 8 or earlier.
For one, it doesn't take half an hour, it shows you the results as you type, instantaneously.
Secondly, via plugins it can understand *any* file, such as an image metadata importer that uses OCR so you can search for words, or a Flesh-tone detector so you can search for all your porn that way.
In Internet Explorer, if you right click on the link and Copy Shortcut, then paste the link into the address bar, then click just to the right of the quote, you can delete it. Press enter and the correct page should load. I don't know about any other browsers though, I tried it in Safari and it didn't work:(
You've got to be joking. Lossless compression might ensure the same bits get through, but what about jitter? I'm sorry, but speaking as someone who works in the audio industry, the difference between WAV and something like FLAC is painfully obvious to trained ears. Reduction of clarity and presence, squashed dynamics and total removal of the listener from the soundstage. Unfuckingbelievable.
I think the best solution for this would be to have a seperate file owned by System that listed a user-specified 'keyword' for each user. When the system displays an Authentication dialog, it displays that user's keyword also. That way the Auth dialog cannot be faked, because you can't find out what the keyword is without being system.
Effectively, the authorisation dialog has to 'authorise' itself with the user, before the user authorises themselves.
Why the hell would Apple want to give students their next unreleased OS, especially when students are known for being poor, tight-fisted cunts who would immediately put Tiger up on P2P and ruin it for everyone? Why? Twat.
It being a webserver is the least of your worries. My department just bought 30 of them for running controlling complex equipment, and let me tell you this: none of them work.
I examined them and they are all flawed. Missing resistors, back to front diodes, tracks that lead nowhere, these are certainly budget components. The Linux distro's we are forced to use are flakey enough without having to be run on systems that could have been made my aids-riddled monkeys.
1 in 10? Now I dont know wether I have high standards or I'm just an shitty photographer.
I always have postview on, and when I take a photo maybe 1 in 4 photo's make it past postview and onto the memory card. Eventually I copy all the photos onto my computer, and delete at least 2/3s of those. Then I fix em up in Photoshop, and delete another 1/3.
Of those that are left, and I consider worth keeping, just maybe 1 in 10 are worth printing! Thats about 1 in 200 photos!
Bloody typical! I installed it on our lab of 64 computers and only 12 came through it without any problems. Granted, most where minor and solved with copying and pasting Linux code into the offending DLL's, but this isn't what I expect from a company with MS's QA resources.
That won't be able to stop you being identified by your gait. I read about an AI system a while ago that could accurately spot car theives walking around a car park, just by the way they walked.
"docile little sheep" - please don't sling stupid fucking statements like that around, like you're some kind of enlightened one man army fighting against The System. Besides whining on Slashdot, what exactly have you done to change the situation?
Theres also stats like how many are exploitable in a default install and how many require services to be enabled.
Also, it should be noted that the vast majority of OSX (and probably *nix) 'advisories' counted in the statistics are actually fucking [b]Apple posted security updates[/b]. It would be interesting to see what percentag of the MS advisories are fixed issues.
I hate the word faggot. But I quite happily use it without any regret or ill feeling when talking about people like you. Please either grow up, or kill yourself.
If you meant over[b]heat[/b], then In a word, yes. I tried some last week, and they were absolutely abominable. All of mine were put to use integrating a Dirac pulse that was picked up by my satellite dish. Almost immediately they overheated, all the capacitors exploded and a diode changed direction and everything.
Slashdot Mirror
I've pondered for a lot longer and can't think of any. Could you please give me some examples?

The linked article is shit.
. htmlYou want this one instead, its got loads more info on what it does and how it works, plus some code examples for the gimps.

And best of all, they dont have any music I want!

Unfiction looks like Ars Technica for mentallists.
Racist! Insulting my name like that.
Its cute now, but that cat is about two claw both their faces clean off!

People get angry when they argue with you, don't they?

They dont work. I tried one last week and it was no good, so i threw it away.
