Its actually not possible to "always" win at tic tac toe if the second player always plays perfectly.
If player one and player two are both perfect players the game will always be a tie.
I know this is true as my major was AI and my final project was investigating reinforcement learning where I designed agents to learn how to play tic tac toe and connect 4.
The difference between Kevin Mitnick and the most dangerous and powerful hackers is that those hackers don't get caught.
I have a friend that was arrested quite a few years back for hacking VISA and NTL and he told me that when he hacked he needed about 2 or 3 minutes on a system before he wouldn't be able to be traced. Also, the professional hackers don't think anything of "rm -rf/"ing every box they hack to remove every detail they were there. Often they would have gone through five or so boxes before their target box so that would involve basically wiping 6 servers. But hey, if it means you're secure!
Yeah it seems that apple is the only MP3 player manufacturer that is buying in such large quantities. Thus it makes sense that they should get the biggest discounts.
I get the feeling that this is simply due to all the other MP3 makers shouting "unfair" and putting pressure on the government to carry out this investigation. And this is basically due to sour grapes as every other company that makes MP3 players is wishing they were Apple or at least had as good products as Apple does.
In 1870, he moved with his family to Canada where they settled at Brantford, Ontario. Before he left Scotland, Bell had turned his attention to telephony, and in Canada he continued an interest in communication machines. He designed a piano which could transmit its music to a distance by means of electricity. (Taken from Wikipedia)
It's really quite irrelevent that he went to the US after. He was still born and educated in the UK. So telephone was invented by a UK citizen.
This is besides the point though. My point was it really doesn't matter who invents something. It isn't some big competition. Who the smeg cares who invents something apart from nationalistic, xenophobic semi-morons who get their kicks out of "Whos country is the best" games.
This is the type of pro-US, anti euro talk that gets the world into situations like this in the first place.
Ok, so England invented the telephone (Alexander Graham Bell (1847 - 1922) patented both Telegraphy (1875) and the Telephone (1876), opening up modern telecommunications)
We also discovered Pencillin (Alexander Fleming - 1928) and Michael Faraday (1791 - 1867) invented both the electrical generator and the electric motor.
My point is, it doesn't matter who invented something. When something useful and good for mankind is invented the idea and concept is spread around the world so that everyone can benefit.
When Bell invented the telephone, he wasn't thinking: "ah hah, now Britain will be able to communicate effectively but no one else will!", he was thinking "God damn i've just done the world a big favour!"
It could be quite easy to say, because Britian invented the telephone, if we hadn't then the USA wouldn't have invented the internet. But, im not going to, because its stupid, xenophobic, backwards thinking. It makes no sense.
So get up of your high horse and come to realise that the internet belongs to the world now, and the world needs a say in how its run.
Real threats will only occur once Apples market share has risen significantly and even then I dont think there will be many.
Putting it into perspective, i've used macs since I was 8 (1991) and i've never had a virus on any of them, or at least never knowingly had a virus as i've never had to buy a virus scanner.
I don't think it's time to worry..
yet.
Just a minute..
If people four feet away can hear an unintellible conversation, surely the person on the other end of the phone will be hearing "random meaningless snipits of your own voice" too...
No display can produce pure black. It's apparently not possible, I gather its possible to get as close as buggery but never to actually reach it. Rather like the speed of light...

Anyone willing to say that wmp is better than itunes is looking for a tongue lashing from the mac crew.
Also the fact that he didn't even slightly deride windows vista (aka windows longdelayed) would mean that he would be in for a grilling.
After all who cares what a buggy, security hole ridden heap it is as long as we have some nice transparency effects!

20 megabit download
1 megabit upload
100 free tv channels
Free telephone to other landlines.
This is in paris, france.
Compared to what I used to get in england (£20 a month for 1megabit download 0.25 megabit upload and nothing extra) this is a complete joke.

Yeah, i'm waiting for 2010 when a futurologist from BT predicted we would be receiving orgasms by email...

We'll all be dead by then..
I sure as hell hope he's right.
