That might be changing though. One of the directors at my company mentioned to me how he was reading that "PHP could be the next Java" in some sort of business magazine. Granted, the account is hearsay at best, but rumors from upper management are probably a good thing.
It seems to me that all these holes are in systems that the average OS X user wouldn't use very often if at all. I'm a developer using Mac OS X, and I'm not even effected by most of these.
as far as I can tell, OS X uses Apache 1, not 2
I don't use IPSec, but some people might. I would bet the percentage is small
Most people use Samba anymore because it's not as proprietary as AFS
most users don't allow remote logins (escalation wouldn't be a problem)
not sure about RAdmin
My point being that, first off Apple might want to be quiet about it because the majority isn't effected, and second the vunerabilities aren't nearly integral to the OS as most windows vulnerabilities are.
Personally, I don't think giving away software should really count as a donation. If they really wanted to be charitable, they'd give out support contracts with the software.
Chill. See the problem with this logic is that not everyone in the world is up for opening their own business. I might know where to get these cheap old games, but I don't care to do all that work to bring it to fruition. Any good business idea requires the input of many people, not just one. In this case/. was chosen for the information. And if you want to compete with this plan, go for it. It's the beauty of capitalism. May the best man win.
You comment is probably a little better suited to the phrase "Nader's campaign, summarized for a simple mind". Nader does not blame only corporations. He blames the people as well. And if you had an open mind enough to actually listen to him, rather than what the media says about him, you'd understand this. Nader doesn't support the idea of hating the corporate system, he merely stresses the idea that people do indeed have more power than corporations, were that power properly exercised.
I'm more than a bit dissapointed to see the absence of Jello Biafra from this list. He is in the running, afterall. Take a look at the Green Party's web site for full details. He's merely not campaigning, mainly cause he doesn't have the time. And if there's anyone that'll take care of the world's idiocy problems, it's him.

And yes, Jello is supporting Nader, but I still think Jello himself should be given an equal share of the ballot.

Does this strike anyone else as just plain dumb? I mean it's like a small child going to mommy cause the bully told the whole class he picks his nose. IMHO Microsoft should worry less about who's saying what about what, and worry more about actually making a decent product that would stand up in these demonstrations.
Let's get this straight here. VB isn't a toy language. I see it as more of a scripting language. It can do some cool stuff, but then again so can bash.
You can't really get them in any sort of legal trouble. The law goes something like,
Me: "Put me on your don't call list"
From then on in, they legally owe you $200 per call. And if they persist at that point, then you can start doing some REAL damage leagally, if you care to play that game, that is.
Personally, I think a Handspring Visor Deluxe would be a pretty killer present. But I'm sure everyone else has they're own preference on PDAs. Maybe one of the 65k color models that are supposed to be out for the holidays. But I have a feeling the battery life on those things is gonna be less than great.
What Sun seems to not be realizing here is that the cobalt machines aren't just true appliances. Why would they support Telnet access if they did? Personally, I liked that cobalt machines ran linux cause it meant I could expand the machines capabilities simply by installing new software. And now, thanks to this decision, finding new software to add to these pretty machines will be alot more difficult.

That's my kinda woman!

My apologies if this is redundant.

Do I use any of it? Not really. But I develop user applications mostly where math is at a minimal and most of the work is more psychology-driven.
wow, not even comments about MS Bob get a good rating...

What about
"You're a dork now, but don't worry. You'll be getting paid well for it in a few years."
usually use man if my collegues and I are any example.
You may want to try OpenBSD. The security auditing they run their software through slows down development even more.

In the words of Jello Biafra "Grow more pot"
I guess the US is listening....

Vote Jello Biafra for president (yes, he's really in the running)
