  1. Hey folks, it's time to learn Hindi now on Oracle Buys Sun · · Score: 1

    The most effective way to deal with Oracle support staff is talking with their native language.

  2. Antivirus software for Mac on Fake Codec is Mac OS X Trojan · · Score: 1

    Just wondering...does Symantec has any antivirus software for Mac ?

  3. Where he can see DirectoryIndex is on ? on Fox News' FTP Password Anyone? · · Score: 1

    "While browsing around the Fox News website, I found that directory indexes are turned on"...I browse Fox website everyday but I cannot find it out. Was he really reading the news or hacking the site ?

  4. Downloaded and Uninstalled in 5 mins on Safari for Windows Downloaded Over 1 Million Times · · Score: 1

    Yesterday I downloaded it, installed it, used it to browse a couple of most common web sites (CNN, Yahoo, Google, Slashdot!, etc). Well, it's as bad as iTune and Quicktime for Windows. Slow, ugly, and the most important thing for a browser, page rendering. I know it's a beta, but it's from Apple, not from some kids lived in the basement. Used it for 2-3 minute, got enough of it, I uninstalled it (uninstall was pretty quick!).

    Eudora -- Yes, I'm still using it for E-Mail
    UltraEdit -- Text Editor for all kinds
    Microsoft Street & Trip -- looking for location even off-line

  6. Re:Porsche and Palestine on Taiwan Irked at Google's Version of Earth · · Score: 1

    I tried to search for Palestine in Google Map. I got the word "Occupied Palestinian Territory" and the map itself doesn't show me anything. Well actually it shows the world map but no indication for Gaza Strip or West Bank. Then I tried "Israel". It's fine. At least I can find Taiwan in Google Map. So it's fine for me.

  7. The new Mac-Intel just like the Sun-AMD on Dvorak Says Apple Move to Intel Will Harm Linux · · Score: 1

    The new Mac OSX will use Intel P4 CPU and drop the Open Firmware; the Sun right now has workstations and servers using AMD Opteron and running Solaris 10 X64. Sun sells hardware and software as 1 package, and Apple will do exactly the same time. Does anyone try to install XP on Sun AMD machine? I don't know but I don't think anyone will do it because Solaris is way more better than Windows. Same for Mac.
