This prank got me an interview on CBC National: take over DNS services at your office, proxy the lottery web site, and change the numbers to match tickets for the office lottery pool. Nothing like getting all the staff on video running around totally foolish. haha
Did this answer really need research. I had thought of this before my parents thought I was old enough to drive.
Let me know if you would like to save money on further research.
...exists due to the way the browser does not handle PNG files.
The web would be a beautiful place if content creators could depend on complete PNG support. This problem has been around for over 8 years! IE blows.
State the minimum hardware requirements on OSX packaging as all Apple brand, but ship without locks. Those, like myself, that go where the angels don't can still give Apple $100+ to play on other hardware. Apple can claim the 5th on all glitches. Sheesh!
Running Mac OS X on Intel will not be a difficult transition. In fact Darwin, the core of Mac OS X, already runs on x86 hardware. It will be very disappointing, however, if Apple--a company that has distinguishes itself with innovative products--looses its identity in the x86 washing machine.
What about the Cell processor? If this process is based on the PowerPC core doesn't that mean that the new PowerPC IS the Cell? Why abandon the PowerPC just when massive speed advances are on the horizon? Why abandon a chip that seems perfect for multimedia applications when Macs are THE platform for creative purposes?
The Microsoft war room is already buzzing with a strategy to buy out (assimilate) smaller countries and effectively mismanage their creative output. With any luck (my luck), we'll be stuck with Windows long past the invention of a perpetual machine.
Hey cool. I've been doing that myself for the past year with a Perl script designed to repeatedly stuff forms with junk. Every time someone goes phishing in my mailbox they'll net a catch of old boots and rubber tires. I'd like to think that the script serves up enough junk data that they'll have a hard time finding people that did fall for their bait.
Stupid bean counts. Humans cannot apply themselves one hundred percent of a typical work week. Affording staff members necessary breaks at reasonable intervals improves productivity.
Yes, this means you accountant types should buy us all tickets and re-think clipping those nose hairs.
Squishing all four seasons of the Trailer Park Boys into a single-layer DVD makes for more fun and is compatable with all DVD-R capable players. Call me when the fallout ends from all the next generation DVD standards (a.k.a. the company with the biggest war chest tells us what we want to buy).
Recipe: 4 lbs DVDs 48 hours CPU time 1 mplayer 1 mkisofs 1 cdrecord 1 blank DVD;-)
Canada has imposed a levy on blank media since 1998. It is called a levy (not a tax) because it is collect by the group Canadian Private Copying Collective representing the recording industry; not the Canadian government. The levy for a 40GB Apple iPod is $25 CDN ($19.89 USD, 15.40 euro). Other levy amounts are collected for blank media such as casette tapes, CD recordables, and smaller fixed storage devices.
IMHO: Canadians have paid for the right to freely copy music. Period.

The whole /. community should add those links to their personal web sites. Everyone.
