Yes. i forget the name of the driver/utility/control-panel, but if you search for it, you can find it. On the other hand, I've had my powerbook longer than it was available, so I took my keyboard apart and cut and rerouted traces so that my Caps-Lock key is identical to the control key as far as the OS is concerned (ie, works in OS-9 as well).
Well, I believe that Q/A would take more than a month, and that ISV's would have more problems with byte order than you might expect, but I think that Apple could get developers on board. I still think OSX on intel is a horrible idea though.
Well DUH, you are the leader of the free world what were you expecting!
Well, if you believe Fahrenheit 9/11, I think he expected to be on vacation for 4 years. Up until 9/11 anyway...
(yeah, yeah, it's flamebait...)
Have Vonage, will probably drop in favor of Skype.

I've got Vonage, but since I'm on DSL, I'm paying for a phone number anyway, and with the amount of calls I make Skype is a much better deal. Now if only I could get some hardware (like my vonage/cisco ATA) which would do Skype instead of vonage....
I signed up to be a volunteer for the election on Nov. 2nd. I gave them a one-off email address 'web-vote@rangat.org'. No one else (prior to this posting) had that address. I got virus email from the sonoma-county.org IP block. These are the people tasked with running an electronic election? Not my idea of a good time.... And don't get me started on the wanting volunteers to work 15 hour shifts on election day, from 6:00am to 9:00pm. WTF? How are they supposed to be coherent enough to do the right thing?
TIFFs give you more capabilities. You can have multiple images in a single TIFF file. You can store the same image with different resolutions (for icons), different bit-depths (so you get the best for a true-color monitor, and a 2-bit grayscale), etc. Also, you can store all the pages of a fax transmission in a single TIFF file. TIFF includes the resolution (BPI) of an image, so you can know the 'true' size of the image.
For regular old internet porn, TIFFs are overkill, but the capabilities are useful in lots of other situations.
Why should someone who doesn't use the park at all pay all the cost?
Well, this may not be 'the' reason, but a reason is that because of those parks, more people will want to live there and property values will go up. So, those parks give everyone a benefit, not just those who use them.
Well, TIFF is more of a container format than an image format. There's really no reason to use uncompressed TIFFs because TIFF supports JPEG or losslessly compressed image data within them. I've dealt with JPEG compressed TIFFS and LZW compressed TIFFs since NeXTStep 2.x or 3.x.
Yeah, but everytime, the case pulls the cheezy foil EMI blockers off the front, all three of them. And they are a pain in the ass to put back on, with the clips on the sides wanting to slip into the wrong position.
Zombie owners would be a lot more likely to notice that something is wrong with their computer if it is 100% cpu pegged, the fan is running loudly all the time, etc. Besides, why wouldn't zombies be running 100% now? Because if the spammers were running them at 100%, they'd be discovered? If so, then the percentage they are running at, the "undiscoverable percentage" can be considered 100% for purposes. Making the spammer use more CPU, bandwith, whatever, will mean more zombies are discovered and removed from the nets.
Yeah, because all those people in Alaska and Hawaii really don't matter, and letting them vote at 3am, or not letting NY vote until 1pm won't disinfranchise anyone...
Right, since yahoo.com controls the domain, and can't authenticate you as a valid sender of 'joe@yahoo.com' if you don't send via their smtp servers, they have the right to prevent you from sending as 'joe@yahoo.com' via other SMTP servers.
But getting your own domain and sending as 'joe@mydomain.com' would solve that problem. No?
Pretty much only time I send as 'rthille@yahoo.com' is when I'm telnet'd to an smtp port doing some testing and want an external bounce receiver...
Living on the west coast, I agree with the annoyance that the press is predicting the outcome before I've left the house that morning to vote:-) However, I'll side with the freedom of the press anyday. After all, on the day before, press coverage of the fact that canidate A is 10 points ahead in the hugely flawed poll has a slight chance of of influencing a vote on the next day, so we need to move that blackout back further... Freedom is (to me) more important than anything else. Freedom is more important than safety and more important than convenience. If people are not voting because of what the press tells them, then they are probably 'too stupid to vote(TM)'
What does being best friends have to do with getting sex? Do you sleep with all your 'best friends'? But my key point was that getting married "for the sex" is the wrong reason to get married. Getting married because you are best friends (and the sex is also good:-) is a much better reason. Especially since years later you'll hopefully still be friends, but the likelyhood of having 'kitchen sex' is much less.
Huh? you don't trust 'other people's networks?' Even with SSL? you don't buy things online then, do you? What attacks are you worried about with SSL? How would the attacker's site spoof the certificate for your POP/IMAP server?
Well, I'm torn between citing statistics that say with the gun you're way more likely to be shot yourself and saying you need both: "Please come quick, I've just shot an intruder."; Click. Bang! As in Sleeping with the Enemy...
But I think the real solution is a dog with a strong defensive personality.

So that's what I need to get rid of the cat? 6 children. I guess I'll just stick with the cat...

You're confusing having a gym card (paying a membership fee) and actually going to the gym and working out...

Tried reading the article, but with writing like 'named after Peridot, a mythical gemstone...' I gave up.
See, Peridot isn't mythical. It may have mythical properties, but the gemstone itself is _REAL_. Details matter people...

While it won't help a 100% yet, you should start publishing SPF records to help stop Joe-Jobs. if you don't already.
truely compatible with Intel hardware standards
Well, except of course for the CPUs with entirely different instruction-sets...
Skype. They now have an OSX client

Which no one is going to like, even me, because of the privacy issue. The honest truth is we can't have anonimity and not have spam.
HashCash is an anonymous alternative which can help stop spam.
Don't you mean your mom's basement?
