As a spamcop mail customer one thing bugs me is. People, especially newbies learned that service and they use bogus spamcop.net addresses when they sign up a legit service like product updates from Allume Systems (Stuffit etc). Result: As a customer of them I can't use my IMAP mail and have to use Yahoo.com as spamcop is simply rejected.
Well I agree to your comment with one question in my mind...
just imagine if MS did such thing or even less and imagine the comments...
BTW strangely I'd be happy if they made a DRM based electronical OS X release (downloadable) after paying needless, stupid amounts to Fedex (or any courier).
Well, "Fox kids" had to change their name to Jetix overseas because of amazing protest from families knowing what Fox News is. (Europe) Parents simply switched channels when they see Fox there.
Also a huge digital TV platform had to break their agreement canceling their channel because of huge amount of protest from their subscribers. I am not sure how much $$$ they had to pay removing it from package replacing it with non profit Euronews.
Also believe me there is no Michael Moore in this thing or his evil conspiracy. Even if Sep. 11 didn't happen, Fox is a disgusting thing which media should never been. If "liberals" have used a channel like that with secret plots, amazing racism and disgusting fundamentalism, they would be hated too.
They should hire some real academic professors to close their channel for 1 month and teach journalism from START.
You should read the article and remember the huge war behind closed doors between 2 formats: "HD DVD" and "Blu RAY"
Its a matter of billions who will win the war and expect any dirty trick from each camp to have "geek support". You will see one of the camps playing "linux friendly" and giving some sources etc too.
Story matters if HD DVD camp will allow modification on a player which plays "near theatre screen resolution" commercial movies. I say they won't.
I, myself as a original movie collector/watcher look forward to see this stupid fight is over and somehow a "mix of the best in 2 formats" open format ships.
My brother with designer jeans and a iriver mp3 player, modernly dressed went to Australia, Adeliade to visit a friend of him.
The guy he visits is Italian-Australian and waits for him outside.
They kept him 2 hours without any explanation. He says he felt like a jew trying to enter Germany in 1939.
FYI, he is a turkish guy. Remember Al Queda blew us 2 times, not we blew anything.
Australian courts should start discussing what can be done to avoid such racist things, not about a fucking spyware and its so called freedom of information.
I am not speaking about "geek" (!) stuff. I am speaking about a desktop oriented commercial OS.
They have recently shipped ThinkFree _office suite_ which can run in browser. Check it: http://www.thinkfree.com/
It's coded in Java 2 with some propitiatory (but JAVA!) extensions and can work on all platforms. It's not a very simple notepad.jar type thing, thing can save full feature adobe pdf files.
That is a thing I expect from a "runtime," write it and runs anywhere. I would have a Solaris box, and it could still run (even faster) with exact same features etc.
It _really_ doesn't make any sense if it runs on win32 only. If we speak about Mono etc... No, nobody will compile a tar.bz2 source...
Unless there is a.DMG distributed by Microsoft having end user friendly readme, installer in it, Microsoft has different things in mind for.net.
Lets say. MS office as a yearly subscription service?
Wake me up when.NET runtime ships in a easy installer on mac, linux and FreeBSD.
E.g. (speaking for OS X) "net.dmg" sits in microsoft.com/mac , there is installer pkg for it...
They should spare time to making it true multiplatform (no fink,mono, 2gb of developer tools!) and we see some applications coded with it on all platforms other than making universities abusing their name with stupid donations from microsoft.
E.g. Virginia.edu server runs AIX. Is there.NET for AIX?
There is one more reason. The machines doing real business.
Check http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/index.html , 64bit mathematica is disabled after yesterdays security update for OS X and Apple pulled automatic update right now. (If you have problem, check site, shows workaround)
So, e.g. a petrol company, university will apply the patch allowing hundreds of hours of processing power (money) lost?
Broadcast is even harder, you can't allow 1/10 sec downtime on some machines.
In current environment if OS X virus/worm ships it will be a huge disaster. They will shoot the messenger (whoever finds it first) repeatedly until some newspapers arrive 12 pm instead of 5 am to stores.
Remember Intego and what happened to them when they released their finder exploit to public (with stupid PR language). If I were them, I would think 1000 times before going to public when some threat is detected.
If you see what's fixed with security updates, they aren't so theoretical threats at all. Its just lack of popularity of OS X among these worm/virus writing lamers.
Its not Microsoft's fault. The update is there, free. It's the moron admin or (as people say) suits not allowing him to update without paperwork.
Yesterday there was a huge security update for OS X; I applied right away as my system is setup to get every critical update without asking to me. I just wonder how many other OS X users did? Don't forget the myth of security all end users are brainwashed with too...
Funny is I missed that part saying its nsv file and downloaded it.
I wonder which genius had the idea of using that format. I even tried winamp in classic environment to play it.
As with VP6, I mailed to on2 to stop bitching about people choosing h264 or mpeg 4 over their formats until they release universal standard quicktime decoder months ago.
Maybe flash 8 can play file if you rename it to swf and try inside browser. Stupid idea but... I deleted the file already.
Is there a strategic partnership with OSDN and Google?
If there is, not declaring it is unethical.
Yahoo and some other portals are using RSS for ages and they allow every single site (small or not) to have a chance added to my.yahoo.com for free.
I also heard Yahoo got banned from Slashdot RSS feed. Well, somebody over there takes himself too serious I guess. When your feed is in yahoo,millions and millions of frequent my.yahoo users and news.yahoo.com users were getting it without cost to your bandwidth.
Whatever. If there is an agreement between Slashdot and Google let us know.
You know what? As a foreigner, I like those couple of paid results on my searches for products.
Especially "yahoo store" ones.
It means there is someone in middle to protect my rights if something goes wrong.
Google results are always some hacks to me (maybe my luck) and of course I can't trust a company hacking a search engine to get upper level with my credit card.
1) needless fanatics all over ignoring amazing privacy politics google carries (see this posts points in hours)
2) "google hacks" or whatever its called. Every time I searched for something on google, first 10 results were damn lame companies who tries to get hits for my results offering nothing.
Slashdot Mirror
That makes companies make sure to invest in Novell products as they are still supporting a "dead" product.
How it is dead and why Novell is pronounced dead on Slashdot everyday I have no clue.
I am a spamcop user and for 3 months I noticed some stuff.
1) The legit businesses, e.g. Real.com, Allume.com or any company with a valid record does NOT spam. Its basically a lie.
2)Far East ISP's, especially China,Taiwan are kind of "allowing" zombied machines.
Not paranoia at all. A much more valid, checked realtime spam stats is at:

and "crack" application is generally a alpha or even pre alpha copy of exe which was stolen from code studio before copy protection added.
;)
For the thing you say. Its really possible but its a huge opportunity for trojan/malware authors. Remember "MS Office Trial downloader"

There is always "Americas Army" ;) If you can ignore propaganda, its a good game though.

Such large numbers (million users etc) always reminds me one company: Novell
Thanks to Myrealbox they are constantly testing their stuff in real life 24/7 and now with Suse it will be much more scalable.

I have such a mouse but Logitech discontinued it. (picking a random google result)
:) Now getting used to using a trackball (optical) again logitech.
http://www.dansdata.com/ifeel.htm
It vibrated over icons,menus etc. As I use OS X now, the desktop software only exists for Win32 so its a basic mouse.
Never to mention, as all logitech stuff, its working for straight 6 years

No, ask any pro developer, that "webkit" is heavily modified for Omni Group.
:)
There is also great Omni SDK's in action, omni network SDK etc.
Or... I should be using latest webkit now just because I updated Safari.
http://www.omnigroup.com/developer/ will show what Omni group is and why they are that much respected.
Also why its customers insist on using it while its coded for webkit 2 now, I mean webkit 2.x modified now.
Where is .NET runtime for OS X?
.DMG distributed by Microsoft having end user friendly readme, installer in it, Microsoft has different things in mind for .net.

We (turks) now have a 2004 model punishment law having a section especially for digital thievery even including the term "paid content services".
;)
I still think that "Atilla" guy is victim of "bad friends" or "trojan infested software". I don't think he coded the virus...
BTW, there is a huge US embassy and huge NATO base in his hometown. He should be glad he got "busted" instead of... You know whatever
Well, that's what we will live when Mactels flood the market and Intel monopoly decision on Macintosh doesn't change.
(PowerMac user)
It better do... I personally started to review Wintels for future unless stupid mactel only decision does not change...
