"cool but geeky and not very market savvy company"
Are we talking about the same Apple? Apple Computer^WInc. is probably the most market-savvy company I can think of. Who else could have this many people talking about a product that's still six months away from release? Look back and notice that this has been a common theme of their since Steve Jobs came back.
The reason they get away with BS like this just shows how good they really are. No one is going to not buy an iPhone over this or any of the other borderline or actually evil things they've done.
If I'm gauranteed freedom of the press why can't I publish a paper called "Fuck niggers and ya know what hitler was right about dem jews", legally I cannot publish such "obscenities".
Sure you can, at least in the US, which is what we're talking about. Granted, you may have trouble finding a publisher and distributor, but you are certainly legally free to publish if you can get around the practical problems of this sort of thing. See The Turner Diaries, for example.
Checking this was one of the first things I did on Tuesday. Cingular's early termination fee is $175, but they won't unlock your phone until you've had the service 90 days. You can bet these will be locked, so you'll have to pay for the service for three months before cancelling.
First, I think you mean Silicon Valley. Simi Valley is in southern California.
if you are single with no family and want to work all your life and spend most of what you earn on outrageous housing costs, higher taxes, and urban sprawl then google is the place for you. Just like most of northern cali/simi valley/san fran the culture is also secluded and anti-social. how many couples walking on the sidewalks do you see?
I don't work for Google, but my SO does, so I'm in a position where I can see exactly the impact it has on her family life. The answer? Almost none. She works 40 hour weeks and has lots of hobbies outside work, including taking classes unrelated to her job two days a week.
Have you actually been to San Francisco? SF is anything but sprawl. We live in a vibrant neighborhood with lots of foot traffic. Neither of us drive to work; I walk to public transit and she walks to where one of the many Google shuttles picks up, both points about a half mile of our apartment. We can walk to lots of restaurants, bars, and local markets, and take the car out of the garage maybe once a week. San Francisco can be expensive, sure, but that's the trade-off for living in the city instead of out in the suburbs somewhere. Having lived in both types of environments, we've decided that it's worth it for what we get in return.
Speak for yourself. My SO and I expect to live long, healthy, and happy lives without procreating. Not only do we not have the burden of dependents, we have the money and freedom to travel, pick up and move, or whatever else we want.
That's exactly my thought. I just hope the phone itself will actually work with my existing T-Mobile SIM card. If the iPhone can be unlocked, I'll cancel the Cingular service and eat the ETF the day I receive the phone.
The only reason England hasn't threatened military force is the sole fact that an invasion of what is, under international law, a sovereign nation, is illegal.
That didn't stop them getting involved in Iraq. And considering that Sealand has never been recognized as a sovereign nation, by anyone, I don't think they'd hesitate to kick the squatters off if they actually cared.
Ideally, I wanted the resolver on the clients to work by trying the first nameserver in its list and seeing if that one supported.local. If not, it would go on to the next, and so on. In that way, I could make the first nameserver in the list my own and modify the listings on that one server to control DNS over my whole LAN, while defaulting to the real nameservers for everything else. But the resolver doesn't work that way. It only goes on to the next nameserver in the list if the one it tries is actually not responding.
The way I read this is that it works exactly as you want. If your internal DNS server is unavailable (turned off, on fire, whatever), DNS requests go out to the external servers (your ISP's, maybe) and things work as expected. Your example scenario relies on your own server both a) responding to DNS requests, and b) not being able to resolve a name on your local namespace. Unless you've deleted the zone file or something I don't see how this would be a problem.
I use a similar system for internal DNS both at home (all OS X) and at the company I work for (50/50 Windows/Linux). Internal hostnames are on the ".int.example.net" subdomain (where example.net is our real, public domain name). The DHCP server hands out this internal subdomain as a search domain and the internal DNS server as the first nameserver. This DNS server holds the zone file for "int.example.net" and resolves hosts in this domain to the appropriate RFC 1918 addresses, while forwarding other requests to the external DNS servers. External DNS servers for the main domain don't need to know about this internal subdomain. I've been doing this for years.
Alternately, just use Bonjour/Zeroconf on your local network and skip the DNS server entirely.
So all you need is for devices to register their hostnames with the home/room "server" and optionally submit the type of services they offer. Then the central server can list the devices (wearable servers, printers etc) present.
What you're describing is essentially what Bonjour/Zeroconf already does, but it does it without your single point of failure. Why rely on a central point for this if the clients can already do it themselves? This is a solved problem.
Apple has pretty much given up on the business sector.
Don't count on it.
Let's see what happens at Macworld this week. We've already got Open Directory, Active Directory integration, video conferencing, and a variety of other business-friendly features, and we know that iCal Server is coming in 10.5, which is obviously meant to be a replacement for the second most-used feature of Exchange (behind e-mail itself). Some people suspect there may be a full Exchange replacement in the works.
I think it's safe to say that Apple is paying more attention to the business sector than ever.
Star Wars is not nearly as homoerotic as Triumph of the Will. I didn't see any strapping young stormtroops wrestling shirtless for one, and Darth Vader isn't nearly as effeminate as Hitler.
It's true. Pot can be bought at school, where alcohol requires finding someone's older brother/sister or hanging out near a liquor store asking people to buy for you.

My money is on the script kiddie down the street.
Well, actually, yeah. If Cisco doesn't own the name, then anyone is free to use it, including Apple.
That's your argument? That Bush could fix his mess but he just doesn't want to? And you're defending voting for him?

If so, he could really benefit from a Utilikilt!
Reference? I must have blinked when he said that.

Have you thought about putting the Mini on top of the AppleTV? Just sayin'...

Not everyone is defined by their children.
Deleting the porn would break my GF's heart. Half of it's hers!
Not me, I already have one.
That's exactly my thought. I just hope the phone itself will actually work with my existing T-Mobile SIM card. If the iPhone can be unlocked, I'll cancel the Cingular service and eat the ETF the day I receive the phone.
Yes, he used a rented Ryder truck.
If you're talking about disclosing the complete recipient list to each recipient of the message, why not just use BCC? That's what it's there for.
That didn't stop them getting involved in Iraq. And considering that Sealand has never been recognized as a sovereign nation, by anyone, I don't think they'd hesitate to kick the squatters off if they actually cared.

Of course, some Libertarians want to privatize (or rather, disband) the USPS as well.

Would he even get a chance? Around these parts, Cisco sales reps are shot on sight.
If you're afraid of losing your job due to your personal or political beliefs you should probably be looking for a new one anyway.
