Every time the topic of poor broadband availability in the US comes up, this fallacy is repeated. Yes, the majority of the Canadian population is near the US border, but broadband penetration goes much further.
Let's seriously compare the two countries here. Canadia has a population of about 32,805,041 (July 2005 estimations). The US has a population of about 295,734,134. The US population is over nine times larger than that of Canadia. So even 100% of Canadia's population had broadband access, it's still only be 11% of the US's population.
You're just dealing with much, much smaller populations here. Granted it is harder to wire Canadia than it is Japan even though Japan has a larger population.
Why not compare it to Countries like India and China. Places with very large populations and a very large land mass. I think it'd be a little more fair than comparing it to countries with a high population density (the majority of Canadia's population is settled within 100 miles or so of the US border.
And for accelerated, the code is still as such. It isn't running on the raw CPU using simple int/float operations but is in fact running on the much better AltiVec unit using SIMD instructions, yo. This of course means that CoreImage code running on the AltiVec units will be faster than CoreImage code running on the raw CPU. To me, that means accelerated
You'll still get full hardware acceleration for Core Image. It'll use whatever hardware you throw at it. If the GPU can't do it all, then whatever it can't do will be handled by the AltiVec unit(s). CoreImage is heavily optimized to the extreme max!
One of the reasons I heard was to protect us in lawsuits.
Which is often the reason. I imagine the government cares because there is a statute of limitations on how long information can remain classified. So if the physical media the records are kept on expires before the statute of limitations comes into affect, there is no records for them to release.
But lawsuits are a huge reason, as you said, when computer records are involved. You keep everything that could incriminate you on age sensitive media and backup everything you can use to defend yourself or sue others for on different media before it "expires".
Which kind of makes much hard for conspiracy theories that the FBI/NSA/Secret Service require all these back doors into encryption software and/or operating systems. What's the point when humans are still the weakest link?
Well, it's early easter morning (for the people that celebrate it at all, let alone on this day). What else is someone supposed to be doing other than posting duped stories from other sites on/.?
No, actually they aren't. There is no known remote exploits for OS X that have been exploited (and possibly none that can be). Any version. It seems to just be a count of the number of times it was scanned or something. Like if a Windows PC is exploited, it'll start scanning specific ports on different IP addresses. From the look of the article, this is what they meant by "attacks".
You can't blame OS X or Linux from being scanned by an exploited Windows PC.
You assume Pluto is a planet. That's where a lot of this controversy stems from. There are many suggestions for what makes a planet and Pluto often falls outside of the definition. If Pluto is reclassified as a moon or extra solar space junk, then this "Smallest planet" probably would be as well.
-has sufficient mass to be roughly spherical due to gravity
Not sure if that would work. I could imagine a binary star system with a planet in between them as such with an erratic orbit that causes it to be stretched in an extremely egg shaped way.
It might need to be a more than binary star system to keep balance. IANAA.
Sorry love, market share numbers don't work as an excuse. OS X has been around for almost 4 years (March 24th) and there has yet to be a single virus/worm/malware that will infect the computer remotely from a default install.
Now, let's do some math here. Let's see, if OS X had 50 times the market share.. multiply that by zero... We still/b get zero!
I don't think you quite understand. One of the questions you should be asking yourself is, "Why is this even necessary on a default install of Windows?"
Uhm.. They'll give up based on what the Supreme Court says. There is no higher court in the US. And anything they say becomes law. They are the ones that keep US Citizen's rights and the ones that revoke them.

Always remember to ignore any typos I make while reading my posts. I'll kindly return the favor.

Do you understand what "accerated" means now?
Nope, what does "accerated" mean?

I believe even Microsoft don't always 'eat their own dogfood' on this one.
That's what I've heard as well. Internally MS wouldn't touch Visual SourceSafe with a 10 foot donkey poking pole.
Indeed. It's a challenge even for Teal'c.

Because column view sucks and should not be used at all. Duh. Apple is helping you here.

I think professors should be called in to teach you about black holes.
Wasn't security the same excuse MS used for the IE included with XP SP2? I just wonder why they're using the same exact excuse for IE 7.
Let us just hope someone will apply this to clerks and release it in color!
Depends if Quark was a target or not.
I know, it's horribly wrong to make a joke about this kind of situation. But I thought the rule was Quark is fodder for anything.

You seemed to have not noticed that not once did any kind of standards support or new features get mentioned outside of security.
For all we know, there will be no changes in CSS support, the box model, or PNG support.
No, it's Trance's sun hurtling towards the Seefra system.
Sigh, I'm such a geek...

Yeah, what's up with that? Today is Monday... Apple is supposed to do releases on Tuesday. Tomorrow is Tuesday.
I don't think you understand that the world wide web is not the same thing as the internet.
