I have to pre-wash clothes in the mud sink before they go into the HE washing machine else they don't really get cean. I use more water this way than with the old style washing machine.
No. In recent versions of IOS, Macs do not run local web servers.
Sure they do.
People have to add in a web server by themselves
Oh, you mean by default. Sure, it doesn't run by default, but see below. Now, these 3rd party web servers that people install. Let me guess what one of the most popular might be (due to ease of install). MAMP? They'd be better off using the httpd provided in the OS from Apple since that *might* get updated by Apple (but people tend to ignore running updates).
& very few do so.
I think you'd be surprised.
(assuming you do web development or some such)
Not since 1995, and if I did I wouldn't do it on OSX. *shiver*
there is no web server in a normal recent OSX installation.
I think you might be wrong. I'm looking at a Mavericks install in front of me. Only thing installed other than the base OS is ARD./usr/sbin/httpd is there, and when run it attaches to port 80.
On a lot of systems, even OSX,/bin/sh is bash, just named differently. I don't know if running it with a different process name changes the "shellshock" behavior or not, but why take chances?
However, I don't see this as being a major exploit for Macs (which run Web servers very rarely)
But they do. And worse, they're usually MAMP, which rarely gets updated, and there's a culture of not updating with both Apple and its userbase. I'd be surprised if Apple has a fix for this yet, and they won't provide one for older machines. Not that the users will want to update anyway...
As a former Cold Warrior (both launch officer side and staff analytical mathematician side), I now appreciate the bitterness I saw in former WW2 warriors when they would see a Japanese car.
Grumbling at a Japanese car because "We beat the Japs, now you won't buy American cars!" isn't quite the same as "I manned a US nuclear silo during the Cold War, and now the USA is refreshing the nuclear weapons stockpile". Maybe "we beat the Ruskies, and now you order brides via mail from Russia!" or "I manned a US Flying Fortress during WWII and now the USA is refreshing the Air Force with new bombers" might be closer to the two expressed sentiments. One is "I've been trained to hate a particular enemy", the other is "War. War never changes."
And for those who really are obsessed with mental puzzles and exercise, it's not about extending life, but instead extending the quality phase of life. This has a side effect of extending life in some people.
It does. And the annoying thing about the "Other" folder (which collects messages sent from non-friends) is that Facebook neither notifies you via email nor by the little red "new message" icon. You have to explicitly open up the Other folder to see if a non-friend might have sent you anything. Want to have a conversation with a friend of a friend (invite them to bachelor[ette] party, et al) without "friending" them? Good luck!
And now because of this judge, everyone must check their FB Other folder regularly or be subject to summary judgment for failure to appear in court. (I am not a lawyer)
You can also make the system forget that \autorun.inf files exist (no method of interacting with them works). I've used this method before because the "new" default for autorun still has social holes (programs can choose their icon and run text).
Friends are still happily playing it. Figured it might be a game that is fun for the long haul. Now I know it will be ruined. MS game DRM was what made me eschew modern games in the first place.
And so a whole new generation of gamers will learn the pain and heartache of a loved name from their childhood getting ruined by a poorly-thought-out corporate-developed sequel.
At least Star Control 3 wasn't a poorly thought out corporate developed sequel. The melee was so well thought out that there was an A.I. override built in and advertised in the manual to make the A.I. ships act suicidal. That takes planning.
And this is good thing. The second amendment doesn't specify how much it costs to bear the arms. Only that you're allowed to. So yeah don't ban guns, just increase the cost of possessing them so that only those really really really into guns will go for it.
If we are going to do that, pay for your constitutional rights, how about about $1,000 per year to vote?
I like your ideas and want to subscribe to your newsletter.
Unfortunately, it will cost $100,000,000 per year to practice the free speech of publishing the newsletter, so it may never exist.
Seem pretty inconvenient. Now I'll have people all over asking me to unlock their guns. The worst will be the emergency runs. "Help! There's a man here whose gun you unlocked. I need you to unlock my gun or he'll kill my family!" *sigh*
There is. One setting for browser and another setting for the mobile app. But the mobile app will still autoplay if it detects it's on wifi instead of cell data network.

Bash has always felt a bit dangerous...
POUND! BANG! SLASH! bin SLASH! BASH!
#!/bin/bash
If it emits Hawking radiation as it's collapsing, it doesn't become a black hole, it becomes a Hawking hole.
Fry-hole.
First they're invading Georgia, then Ukraine, now the Moon!
But seriously, Putin, if you leave Earth, don't come back.
I used to have a gnome fetish, but I gave gnome the boot when the developers put a boot on the users' necks.
No duh. I was quoting a standard racist vet from WWII.

I saw the corn sugar commercials on TV, so I'm guessing they were approved, but laughed off the air by viewers.

When you made it, you weren't legally a person. Non-persons can't own a patent.

Once a man knows you know he's a liar, you can no longer trust him to lie most of the time. You have to just stop listening to him.

Yes. Now continue the train of thought.
I bet this is part of why "going postal" is part of the American lexicon.
Big Bang as a universal manic phase. Needs more lithium.
