The exploit only works properly in Office 2003 (and crashes Office 2000). Given that emailed DOC files are pretty much required for millions of people to do their jobs, the most effective short-term workaround is use something else to read DOC files.
You totally miss the point. It's like you're complaining "hey, that dirty cop was going to frisk me" while his hand is currently in your pocket stealing your wallet.
Under the previous proposed system, individual privacy would have been respected BY DEFAULT. It would require additional manual effort to tie records back to a particular person. It implies a mindframe where abuse of citizen records would not be tolerated (at least, not after being exposed in the press).
Whereas under the now existing system, privacy is INVADED by default. Phone records are stored raw, and almost certainly linked back to various Lexis-type databases. This design stems from (and reinforces) the mindframe where omnipresent snooping reigns unchecked (as long as you invoke the magic phrase "9/11" while doing so).
Sure, any version of NSA phone logging is suboptimal for civil rights, and potentially subject to abuse. But when you start from the position "let's do this in a limited way that doesn't violate the law", the risk is (in precise technical terms) a gazillion-fold lower than starting from "the executive branch can do anything it wants to fight the War on Terra".
You're talking about pets. Learning to use names after repeated exposure to human conversation doesn't count. Do these parrots have personal names and speak them IN THE WILD?
NoScript is a pain in the ass because it's whitelist-only. You need to go out of your way to re-enable scripting on each site you visit one by one.
Both NoScript and AdBlock are equally far removed from the desired goal of "allow 1st party scripts by default, block 3rd party scripts by default, with OPTIONAL white & black listings".
No, it's true, PERIOD. Think back to 1993-4, when the Dems had full control in DC. They were a FSCKING MESS of constant petty bickering... which, of course, is partly to blame for the 94 Gingrich revolution.
QC is unbreakable in the mathematical sense. It's a souped-up OTP, which cannot be broken by an outside party, period. Note the word "outside". You can't install a sniffer on the wire, copy the message and decrypt it later. Aside from effectively infinite key length, with QC your intrusion will be detected in real time.
Insider attacks (mole, rootkit, spy camera, etc) which occur AFTER reception and decryption do not count, because the encryption method has nothing to do with that.
Correction to the correction: Windows 2003 Server 64-bit has EFI.
Everyone assumed that the same kit would be in Vista. Everyone except Microsoft, that is.
Oh, and of course Macs are the only valid measure of success or failure in your world. Sheesh, I'm typing this message on my PowerBook and I think you're way Way WAY too drunk on Steve's Kool Aid.
Pay attention: Apple did NOT drop IBM, it was the other way around. They saw much larger business opportunities in powering all three next-gen consoles than remaining tied to Macintosh, and devoted their engineering resources accordingly. All Steve did was take the hint.
Your joke is a handy jumping-off point to mention that in all likelihood this beast will NOT be able to run Vista, or any other version of Windows for that matter. The only systems that currently operate in the teraflop-ish range (aka the top 3 in the world and the #1 in Europe) contain IBM Power CPUs. Unless they specifically want to burn a bunch of cash investing in a new architecture, their best option is a nice big BlueGene.
No, CC does NOT make demands, it provides alternatives. It's silly to complain that CC-by requires attribution, because the alternative is "don't redistribute without explicit approval". At no time does CC stand in the way of normal legal rights.
I stand by my analogy of speed limits. The part you don't seem to get is that public domain (aka the Autobahn) is not Not NOT the default.
No, it's not just different "intent", it's different in action. You can always choose not to use PERMISSIONS, whereas unilaterally deciding to reject RESTRICTIONS is a recipe for trouble.
If you ignore a CC license (through ignorance or otherwise), then you default back to normal copyright. You don't redistribute, you don't include it in your own works, etc. No harm is done to you or to the creator.
If you ignore a EULA, you risk being sued by the creator and/or audited by BSA's winged monkeys.
Alternate analogy: you're on a US highway and you neglect to check the speed limit signs. 55mph is standard copyright, 65mph is CC, "45mph construction zone fines doubled" is EULA, and 75mph is "let's put this guy's photos in our magazine".
I just hope the guy uses an eensy bit of his $13k to buy a camera tripod. Sheesh that was some shaky video.

FWIW, yes, Alan Moore knew about the happy face when he wrote Watchmen; Argyre Planitia is in the dialogue. Dave Gibbons drew it way too small though; the real thing is over 200km across.

Clam is on-demand only, it doesn't have stay-resident live scanning, therefore doesn't meet joltman's stated requirement.

No. Expect Macintel Pro (and probably XServe too) on or before WWDC.
Intel pushed up the ship dates for Woodcrest & Conroe, which somehow passed unnoticed on

Clearly a better sequel to Core Duo would have been The Two Coreys.
For the historical record: the "someone else" who wrote that is Sean Wilentz, a professor of history at Princeton, not Clockwurk.

Hey, you'd have "shrinkage" too if you were covered with shiny methane ice!

p.s. Galle Crater / Argyre Planitia is not "new" by any definition. It was seen by Viking in 1976
If you pump up the clock with ATITool, frame rates jump 30-50% (at the cost of your Mac being unseemly noisy and warm).
Now you just need some blue neon - and maybe a carbon fiber spoiler on top - to give your iMac that Real Ultimate (gaming) Power! (tm)

It's basically data striping across 1000 disks. I suppose the hard part is coordinating all of that parallelism.
So, could someone who actually knows this stuff tell me how well I did?
