They guy who taught me Fortran way back in 1990 insisted that everything we wrote could handle any arbitrary input without failing. Weird data read in, cat dancing on the keyboard, MBA at the controls... whatever. Your programs validates and either rejects (with error message where appropriate) or accepts (valid) data.
I'm hoping too. My ~/Library/Mail folder is 372MB and I'm getting long pauses (spinning beachball) as it re-indexes when I do an 'all messages' search.
I'll try it today, I have to test it prior to deployment.
C'mon, I'm sure WoW is more polished than WW2OL three months ago. And I'm playing WW2OL so I should know. That, of course, is just banking^w betting on Blizzard's usual standards. Given the usual state of MMO's at launch Blizzard isn't aiming all that high.
A couple of weeks ago I had someone try and send an eVite to the office public mailing list. Leaving out any potential issues with 50 people trying to RSVP to an eVite with *one* email address it, the SPAM potential for getting one of our group lists onto a million-address CD is staggering.
Lucky for her it was a relatively slow day and I had time to give her the "polite" version of the talk.
Keynote has another advatntage, it can open corrupt PP docs and resave them so PP can read them. That's probably worth the license fee for saving ONE presentation.
One thing about re-doing G:80 is the fascinating question of what happens if the Galactica were to show up in orbit, oh... let's say tomorrow.
Ok people, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we are not alone in the universe, the bad news is that there's a species out there that would like to be...
The really impressive thing about the Debian breach was that it happened at 5 PM, they had detected and confirmed a breach and had the sites shut down by 10 PM, they announced the breach at 10 AM, and they did the forensics and found an unsuspected exploit within about a week. I dare you to show me a commercial Linux distribution that has been that timely.
Bruce, we'd all like to see any vendor react that well to a breach. Apple's not bad for a consumer OS vendor (ahem). But Debian really is to be commended for that reaction.
You must have read some of Kevin J Anderson's stuff. THat man just plain can't write, the Dune books were particularly painful - we'd have been better of with Melanie Freaking Rawn writing 'em. Try Zahn or Stackpole for decent EU stuff Especially Zahn.
The first used PS2 game I bought (Zeonic Front) looked terrible. The disc was in sad shape. I was promised a return for credit if it didn't work, so I went for it. I took a cloth to it, cleaned it up pretty well. It worked fine, but there's a mission I just can't beat:-(
Read the summary of the article, if you're a licensed pharmacy this will help you by eliminating the unlicensed snake-oil salesmen (joke about medicine in India cut for space) from Google's (paid) results.
And any intruder short of the MiB or NSA is going to have a lot of fun with an encrypted home directory (now that they fixed that little glitch in 10.3.0).
Now we just need an OpenFirmware option to password protect a Mac when it's booted in Target Disk mode (firewire connection to another Mac and booted with cmd-T down - Mac boots up as an external hard drive, very handy) to secure a Mac from anything short of having its drive(s) pulled and decrypted.

There was a Poison Ivy 2 ?
WTF ?

7. Kids get tired of dealing with Cranky Dad whenever they want to play games and get a local rootkit off the net.

+1: Funny
I say Rockstar should replace the entire mission with a new one: a pro-censorship group is in town... KILL 'EM ALL !!!
That sounds like my reminder to metamoderate. Groklaw is, of course, now carrying an article covering the CAIDA announcement.

Right. Without contrails the scene where the sublight ships are left behind and slaughtered just doesn't work the same way.
Two (snide) comments from me.
1. Whatever else he may be - arrogant, naiive (always a bad combo), gullible, Baltar is not gay.
2. Edward James Olmos specifically warned the die-hard fans of the original that they'd probably hate the remake. It sounds like he was right.
It's more twisted than 'corkscrew'. Funny book, interesting read.
heh, the Nutra Speaks picturedisk is even weirder. Mothersbaugh is an odd looking fellow, but a monkey in a space helmet really takes the cake.
iTMS needs more Devo
Best. Post. Ever.

As a bonus, Debian is a vendor (of sorts)
Those are probably the same people who made serious inquiries about SCO's Linux licensing program.

Universal Plug and Play.
Yep. The hosting service provides a connection to the Internet from your server or your hosted site.
