Didn't you know that Bill Gates' watch runs Windows CE and it crashed some months ago do to an exploit in RPC in the second hand. Now it just goes really slow. What is a month to you or me is 2 hours to him. He now talks that slowly as well.
Every last one of these was fixed for me in 10.2.8 except Bluetooth (that broke, but panther fixed it).
And the problem with remote volumes will "resolve itself" after 2-20 minutes of inactivity. I haven't yet tried it in panther. Guess I should.
The volume thing was definitely fixed with 10.2.8 because it used to annoy the hell out of me and I'd almost rue and lament (but not regret) the times I would change the volume.
And being uncompressed is a huge problem. Using AIFF is going to suck your battery dead. Anything over about 32megs (enough for the flash memory) will skip and hiccup and drain the battery in about 2 hours if that's all you have.
Except at the most a lot (99.9%?) will not run on a mac (they use ActiveX, VBA or Windows style absolute pathnames) so the most they can do is pollute the normal.dot file with themselves and spread that way.
If you are wondering about OS X vulnerability... no. It is not affected. It uses OpenSSH 3.4p1 with the CAN-2003-0693 patch. These only seem to affect versions 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1
Mac OS X 10.2.8 is now available. It contains fixes for recent vulnerabilities in:
OpenSSH: Mac OS X 10.2.8 contains the patches to address CVE CAN-2003-0693, CAN-2003-0695, and CAN-2003-0682. On Mac OS X versions prior to 10.2.8, the vulnerability is limited to a denial of service from the possibility of causing sshd to crash. Each login session has its own sshd, so established connections are preserved up to the point where system resources are exhausted by an attack.
To deliver the update in a rapid and reliable manner, only the patches for CVE IDs listed above were applied, and not the entire set of patches for OpenSSH 3.7.1. Thus, the OpenSSH version in Mac OS X 10.2.8, as obtained via the "ssh -V" command, is: OpenSSH_3.4p1+CAN-2003-0693, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090609f
Sendmail: Addresses CVE CAN-2003-0694 and CAN-2003-0681 to fix a buffer overflow in address parsing, as well as a potential buffer overflow in ruleset parsing.
fb_realpath(): Fixes CAN-2003-0466 which is an off-by-one error in the fb_realpath() function that may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code.
arplookup(): Fixes CAN-2003-0804. The arplookup() function caches ARP requests for routes on a local link. On a local subnet only, it is possible for an attacker to send a sufficient number of spoofed ARP requests which will exhaust kernel memory, leading to a denial of service.
No. it would be better if they posted the size unformatted. As in a 200gig drive (in bytes) is only 186gigs unformatted. Formatting takes a variable amount of size from the drive.
And by the way, the suffix+prefix determines the size of the drive. Computers have never used base 10! If you want to say base ten then how many bits are in 1gig (base 10)? 10000000000 bits or 8000000000 bits?
A firewall is useless if even one user has a laptop that he brings home with him. He gets infected, plugs the laptop into the network (behind the firewall). Bam! Unpatched computers behind the firewall get infected.
I don't really the hell care. I just hope it's free (as in no money) and won't cost the $2k everyone is saying it might.

AFAIK and can guess, this is the last legal date they can give you before it becomes... lame (I don't know the name for it) in either all or some states. This way if the quote a date like next week and you get it a week later you won't be all pissed. But if you get quoted November (or in my case October) and you get it in late August you're just super happy because it was 1-2 months early.
They are sending something from Tucson (that's "Two Saun", not "Tuck Sun") to Mars and calling it Phoenix. It's not a jab at ASU because that's in Tempe (That's "Tem pee"). Hey, we name our cities with fine names here in AZ. It's 5:32 AM in Phoenix and only 89 degrees so far.
I don't get it. Shouldn't something like T-Mobile, AT&T and Cingular all have the same amount of dropped calls when using the same towers? I have T-Mobile but when I go to San Francisco it shows me on a Cingular tower, when I go to detroit or something, I am on the AT&T tower.
You couldn't copy the original image. You'd have to have to separate source images (the bg and the layover) to counterfeit successfully. It's just another wall, really.
I can just imagine it now. A nice crappy background image of a lake, a school, or some other kind of normal porn background image and then superimpose a high quality, very shiny, very naked person (or animal if that's your thing).
I wonder if this would cut down on media piracy worldwide. Since Videos/DVDs on the black market in China would be in AVS Format, no other country could play them.
It never says the files were deleted. It just says the information that authorized his computer to play those files he purchased was lost during the reinstall and because he moved out of the US he was not able to get the authorization rights for said files. They were not deleted.
Microsoft is pressing charges against people that blatently point out their flawed business plan. When other companies sell "at a loss" it does mean they actually lose money, just that they don't get enough profit from it to make it worth it.
And you know because it's MS they've never be able to fix all the exploitable (security) holes in the XBox.

Where do you see 7? It's 3 teraflops according to the article. So then you'd need 1760 machines to equal the performance of the 1100 G5s

Well, the rumor is that VT ordered these back in April/May so the delay cannot be attributed to them. They ordered first they got theirs first.

Yes. Of course the size and format of GC discs has NOTHING to do with piracy prevention at all.

GotFuturama had too much information. Now it's /.'d and has effectively no information.

The Tommy Lee one was making fun of Apple's service. He smashed the same Guitar used on AppleMusic.com
"Sue Us, Apple. Please". Confusingly similar.
