It is a well known fact that the amount you spend on expensive, extravagant, utterly useless stuff is inversely proportionate to the size of your penis.
That does include atheistic evangelism, or whatever it might more properly be called since that sounds somewhat self contradictory.
Not at all. Webster's online dictionary says that meaning 2 of "evangelism" is "militant or crusading zeal." I'd say that if you were to look up "athiestic evangelism," in a book somewhere, there'd probably be a picture of Madalyn Murray O'Hair.
I think we, the Americans, got the short end of the stick on that one.
I'm not so sure about that. I suspect religion was merely a cover for those secretly desiring improved dental hygiene.
I want to sue the English government for dumping their religious nut jobs here. I'm going to admit videos of the 700 club as evidence of this maleficence.
The issue is that if you're using your macbook at Starbucks, that local LAN you're on is suspect. Because lookupd implements caching, its cache can be poisoned, and I rather suspect that the stub resolver that lookupd uses probably isn't hardened (that is, doesn't use good source port randomization).
It'd be nice to be able to disable lookupd's caching for when you're on a less-than-fully-trusted network, but then the bigger attack vector would be the recursive resolver anyway.
As for the overall market. I admit that I overreached with 20%, but How about pretty close to 10%, which is twice as much as the first AC troll claimed?
That is true. But they were later convicted in federal court of abusing their monopoly. I do not believe that it would be reading history incorrectly to suggest that that sort of behavior was endemic at Microsoft well before their conviction. In fact, I would suggest that you can see traces of that behavior and attitude going all the way back to the Q-DOS acquisition and perhaps even earlier (Bill Gates' open letter to hobbyists, just for example).
The bottom line is that if the public refuses to accept an Apple without Jobs at the helm, then they will falter.
Everybody but the fanbois on/. could give two shits about whether Jobs is at the helm or not. It's all about the products. If Apple doesn't continue to make desirable products - with or without Jobs at the helm - THEN they'll falter.
Apple captured a lot more than 5%. It's just that after Jobs got fired, the company he left behind lost the lead they had to a convicted monopolist. Now that he's back, they've gone from about 5% to nearly 20% in less than a decade. And the slope of the graph is going up, not down.
Because clearly not divulging the admin password to a network that continues to operate normally is exactly equivalent to premeditated murder. How blind of us not to see that.
Though you could have saved yourself the trouble by doing a 'shutdown -r now + 5 min &', then screwing with iptables, and when you're done, cancel the impending reboot with 'kill %1'.
I hope they try this and that it provably reduces atmospheric CO2 levels. And when that doesn't change our climate by even the tiniest bit, then I will be happy to say, "I told you so."

Well, no wonder my wife buys so many shoes.
Yeah, and a 2300 square foot house costs $160k in Tulsa. Your point?

Quakers != Baptists. Different breed of nut job.
While lookupd no longer exists, its functionality is part of the directory services cache. Nothing really has changed.

What a pathetic retard. Apple's always reported higher results in Q3 because of education purchases.
In any case, it's useless to argue with someone unwilling to associate their name with their posts. Bye.
Look down a little further, douchebag. The little tidbit at the end says that they had >8% share of the US market in Q3 of 2007.
Apple isn't even close to 20% of any computing market
I agree. 66% isn't even close to 20%.
As for the overall market. I admit that I overreached with 20%, but How about pretty close to 10%, which is twice as much as the first AC troll claimed?

Look down a little ways (includes partial correction).

As you come around the dark side of the moon
There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it's all dark.

Nice troll, AC. I'll bite.

Yeah, but remember what happened when he left before?
He didn't leave, he was fired. And the guy who ran things after he left had been selling sugar water in his previous job.
And don't get all pedantic on the meaningless details. I'm sure the actual press releases didn't say it that way, but that's exactly what happened.
And by SOX separation of duties
Irrelevant. Sarbains-Oxley applies to public corporations, not local governments.
What happens if they get run over by a bus or a stampede of wildebeests?
Or, in my own case, CalTrain.
Um...

Hint: Global Warming is happening on Mars too.
Two words: "Gorilla arm."
Imagine a world where Apple won the PC wars rather than Microsoft.
It would almost surely be a better place than what we have now, that's for sure.
I mean, if nothing else, everyone working at Norton and Symantec would have to go get real jobs instead.
No, but IAALS > AC.
