Where on earth will those dweebs find 1500 Macs There, fixed it for you.
But yeah, where would someone find 1500 ICBMs (not PowerPC based Macs) on one subnet to test this with? If such a place exists, it should be easy as hell for Apple to track down who it is as they can't possibly have that many bulk orders like that that often. In otherwords, by mentioning the amount, he may have revealed who he is working for.
Also, 1500 machines of any type on one subnet seems like a lot to me. You'd think they'd have it more segmented.
but it's a safe bet that the underlying vulnerability (buffer overflow or whatever) is present in Bonjour for Windows, as well. Does mDNSResponder on Windows implement UPnP? At least, I figured Windows would have its own UPnP stack.
Don't drink Soda Pop and always check the labels for High Fructose Corn Syrup. It is says it has it, don't buy it. That shit should be illegalized in most foods.
Why? HFCS and Sugar breaks down to the same things in the body. Every study I've seen shows that HFCS is no more dangerous than Sugar. Studies that only look at the Fructose show that high amounts of Fructose is dangerous. The HFCS in soft drinks and sport drinks is not high in Fructose. The "High Fructose" part of "High Fructose Corn Syrup" means it has a high content of fructose compared to corn syrup itself (which has next to no fructose).
In fact, a happy paper at the NIH says pretty much this.
Whats worst of all though, when their done selling the 60gig model, all you have is a 80gig model which is actually more crippled then then the launch model which had the emotion engine for backward compatibility.
So you had better go and buy the 60gig $500 version now, before they go out of stock.
And you know that $299 is the price of the 360 core. But you wandered off like PS3 fanboys always do. What you (and Sony) forget is that some people buy a game console just to play games.
And you did what MS fanboys always do. You assumed someone can play games on the $299 Core. The Core system doesn't have a hard drive or memory card, which is necessary for online play or to play original Xbox games. So you have to pay extra for either of these if you want to play online games. A hard drive is required to play Xbox games.
So yes, you can play games on the Xbox 360 Core system for $299, assuming you don't want to play online and don't want to play original Xbox games.
In terms of QOS i agree with this. if for example you are downloading 100gig of porn from torrents then shaping that when you make a phone call in order to make sure the phone call gets through ok is GOOD.
Alternatively, the broadband provider could actually improve its infrastructure so it supports advertised speeds for all users.
Packet shaping looks like a method for ISPs to have higher advertised speeds without actually increasing the capacity of their network as they should.
On a case-insensitive filesystem, your done if you're lucky. If not lucky, you need to do a linear scan of the whole damn directory. Many places have a directory with some insane amount of files. Intentionally or not, it's common to go into the tens of thousands. A few places (running XFS mainly, sometimes Reiserfs) get into the millions.
And if you don't use paths, none of this applies at all. Paths are evil, slow, and fragile. Abstracted references, ftw! One for non-persistent data, one for persistent data. Yayness.
I wonder if Microsoft is still going to complain about Google's purchase of Doubleclick....
In fact, all replies to this story should be immediately compared to the comments of Google's purchase. It'll be interesting to see the people that backed Microsoft's position that Google did something evil now commenting on this news.
Currently, Silverllight 1.1 is x86 only. It won't run on PowerPC based Macs, just the ICBMs.
For a logistical standpoint, that doesn't seem very cross platform to me if they've already chopped off half of the other platform with the 1.1 release...
Take a gander at Microsoft's list. If the Safe options are on, the API is not available.
It's all kinds of sexy... but basically, it removes functions in which programmers have frequently used incorrect or for which there is no absolutely correct way to use them and still validate user supplied data.
By default, Stuffit won't even bother to compress MP3 files. That's what it shows an increase in file size (for the archive headers) and why it is the fastest throughput (it's not trying to compress). If you change the option, the results will be different.
I imagine some other codecs also have similar options for specific file types.
It says "playing a.MOV file". A.mov (MooV) file is a container format for codecs. iTunes doesn't use a "QuickTime Player" it uses QuickTime.
It almost sounds like a particular driver or something is crashing when trying to do hardware acceleration of a particular codec (like H.264). The author seems like they're shooting bullets of blame in a wild and uncontrollable manner.
Honestly, you complain about the performance of a $150 robot, but don't even read the instructions to learn its limitations.
Uhm, it was $329 and I read the instructions front to back. You seem to be missing the problem. The roomba should be smart enough to realize it hasn't moved in 20 minutes and actually try turning around in the direction it hasn't gone yes. Continually going from left to right isn't going to make that solid object move. The roomba got into that situation, the software should be smart enough to get it out.
but the roomba algorithm is actually quite sophisticated.
Clearly it's very sophisticated. You can easily notice this when the Roomba twirls around in a position for an hour and a half in areas less than 9 squared feet.
I'm not saying the roomba is bad... it could just be a LOT smarter.
Much of the video on the internets is highly compressed and would therefore destroy and kind of subtle watermarking technique, thinking that the watermark was just spurious noise that doesn't need to be recreated.
Frankly, I wouldn't even be surprised if he did some old-fashioned reverse-engineering of the patch to create the exploit for the older boxes.
And then used his time machine to go back in time to before the bug was patched and announce the exploit?
No, his original claim was a farce (hell, look at the video, there was only one wireless device available according to ifconfig). Apple then audited their code, found 3 bugs. He took one of the bugs mentioned, found out how to trigger it, triggered the crash and now claims he was right all along.
The problem is that what's happening now doesn't support his original claims. The original claims were he could hijack a MacBook in under 60 seconds and gain completely control of it. Now all he's getting is a crash with no control.
I found it ludicrous to not want a vaccination because "it promotes having premarital sex". C'mon now.
So these fundamentalist Christians should just do what they always do: Lie through their teeth.
just tell the girls it's the polio vaccine. Sure, that'll make them go out and smear Polio-infected blood in their open wounds, but it'll keep them from having wanton premarital sex.
Sure, it works, with enough tweaking, and CSS3, and a $350 download of a product to turn HTML/CSS3 into a PDF. This is better how? What about LyX, LaTeX, or even OpenOffice if you are just going to convert to PDF?
Yes, exactly. Instead of taking one of two specifications created just for rich document formats, he suggests making a brand new specification by extending CSS/HTML to do something it doesn't yet seem ready to do.

Will your Xbox 360 play Halo 3 while it's out on its 3rd repair?
Yeah, I know it's trolling, but I find myself amusing.
Realistic, perhaps; it's still $200 pricier than an HD-DVD player or a basic XBox 360. I'd call it barely reasonable, but not aggressive.
How is $499 $200 more dollars than $679? ($479 for the Xbox 360 Elite, the only model with HDMI out and $200 for the HD DVD attachment).

but I simply don't need another way for somebody to get my information.
How are they going to get your personal information from files that are stored on your hard drive?
If you're buying songs from Apple, they already have your personal information (hell, that's how they embed it).
If you're really dedicated to committing piracy^W^W useless paranoia, go buy an iTMS gift card and make a fake account with Apple....
Plus they took away boobies links and seemed to start removing any image that showed more than an inch of female cleavage.
There's a special site dedicated for fark porn. foobies.com. All the news that's fit to masturbate to.

For a logistical standpoint, that doesn't seem very cross platform to me if they've already chopped off half of the other platform with the 1.1 release...
Yes, this is my current soapbox.
Other Operating Systems need to put more annoying dialogs that ask for elevation privileges every 5 minutes and don't ask for any credentials.
Hell, they should make them appear so often people completely ignore their content and just blindly click "OK" or "Allow". Yeah, that's the ticket...

Apple admitted the vulnerability WAS a root exploit.
No, Apple said it could be used to run arbitrary code with system privileges.
Just like I could step outside my door and find $10,000 rolled up in a neat little ball. Doesn't mean it is likely to happen, but it could.
Theory and practice are two completely different things.
