Is Rendezvous code available for Linux? Didn't Apple release the source for it? Shouldn't be too hard to port if it hasn't been yet...?
Rendezvous and Zeroconf are the same thing. Zero conf has been working with Linux for a Good Long While now. In fact, a lot of the development has been done on Linux.
Well, there's still a 550 $CDN difference between equivalently spec'ed iBooks and TiBook 12". Personnally, the 550$ for a CPU, GPU VRAM and Airport port is worth it, but i don't necessarily think many people will agree with me. I personnally see them as responding to two different markets: iBook want basic laptop (e.g. students, non-computer users) where as the TiBook is for Powerusers who want portability and don't like the sticker price of it's big brothers.
I for one will be picking up a TiBook 12" RSN...
The form factor of the iBooks appealed to me, but the lack of power put me off.
My g/f lived on a farm with two younger brothers, she was the oldest at 5, and her younger brothers were 4. They got a Bouvier des Flandres to watch over the kids, and it did an admirable job. Not quite on par with Lassie, but pretty close. It made sure they didn't get near any major equipment, or down the silo (she fell in when she was 4, hence hte dog)
it's been posted on slashdot at least once, but I've actually seen these cases, and they are the quietest yet. check out koolance's website for the links to the different reviews (including one from HARDOCP)
Though i do admit it's a useful step in the right direction, i can't help but think that this will have as an unfortunate consequence the fading to the background to a certain extent of the current court cases. The facts remain that the MPAA is still bitter about the ease with which the LinDVD people cracked their "security" algo. As well, the way in which the developers have been treated makes me ill, and i'd rather spend the 29.95 $ trying to make the DeCSS case a landmark.
"This is another exciting day for the Linux community," said Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux operating system. "[Linux] continues to attract industry-leading software companies like InterVideo. Their digital video and audio products will greatly enhance the Linux multimedia experience."
Anyone else think this quote is rather unfortunate? I really didn't think Linus would take this "Businessman's view" of the whole ordeal. Granted it's nice, but they've openly stated that a lot of their code won't be opensource, including the navigation code (which has no copyrights or other trade secrets attached to it AFAIK) Quite honestly, it seems to me that Linus might be losing a bit of his OpenSource Edge...
It's bad enough that hackers are being berrated by main stream media for supposedly "stealing" from large, anonymous corporations, can we all see what will hapen when the middle class has a vested intrest in computer security?
What were to happen if a cracker got onto one of the ultima online servers, helped himself to some UO Cash and then bought himself whatever he needs?
Worse yet: Cracker gets onto the server, figures out some of it's data structure, and decides to get into another player's building and cleans him out?
Crackers/malitious hackers finally have something that has value to steal... and they would be stealing from mainstream america instead of the corps. This can have several consequences as i see it:
First and formost: The biggest hacker backlash in history. You think the Kevin Mitnick case was bad... now the law enforcement officials no longer have to work on the "estimated losses" reported by companies when they get documents copied off their servers (say source code), they have real world price tags on what the damages were. Moreover, can we really trust mainstream american media to see the difference between hackers and crackers? It's bad enough that they can't do it now when the crackers are just defacing websites...
Secondly: With a bit of luck, this will drive all aspects of computer security forward. I can see dedicated players paying godo dollars for crypto systems that would protect their online assets. As well, internationalization of crypto technology will be given a big boost as non-north american players will want access to the same quality of crypto as we are priviledge to have.
Thirdly: Goverment regulation will quickly be pushed onto the scene. Any location generating real US$ seems to become the target of the US house and senate.
Third, B: TAXATION! As is, it's very difficult to keep the internet taxes at bay. In the states, the problem seems to stem from the seperation of states.. but if people start shelling out cash for virtual property, the likes of which cannot be seen right now, there will be a renewed effort by the USG to tax online transactions.
Fourth: Hopefully this will lead to the apparition of "free" servers that will pop up and have much more room to grow, allowing people to settle in. It'd be even nicer if a "Homesteading" act were to be implemented on UO (specific example) to move over onto the new systems, giving them some sort of bonuses (very much like the development of the "Wild West in early america.)
So much more can come of this, and i have to congradulate JohnKatz for bringing this to the light...

but the page hasn't been updated since november 2002. I've had these guides, which are excellent BTW, for all of 2003.
It even says so at the bottom of the page.

the TiBook is exactly what i was looking for.
This is actually a great idea.

It did a good job, and it was kid friendly.
On the loganalysis mailing list.
It's covered everything from requirements for logs to be admitted, to the validity of using checksums.
It's also been archived on the log analysis website.
even better, we've had several lawyers in on the conversation who site actual case law.
for once the conversation doesn't need the standard IANAL.

www.aint-it-cool-news.com
best movie news site on the web.
www.firingsquad.com
interesting mix of hardware and gaming news.
and of course blue's news.
