Notice that this was intended for OSX server, not OSX. I don't know why someone would buy one, but Apple does sell disk arrays for use with their xserves.
They probably wanted to rename it without changing it. Apple likes renaming things. Microsoft OTOH, loves using the same name as everyone else, and changing stuff to break interop.
Those examples are from different markets. I'd say a better example would be "Al's Restaurant" and "Joe's Restaurant"; they both have "Restaurant", and might confuse people... if the people in question are suffering from dementia.
The Drudge Report today has a picture of Julius Caeser with the headline "Julius at FCC wants to regulate Internet".
A local conservative talk show had someone call in about this very issue. He identified himself as the husband of an AT&T employee, and that his wife's job will be in jeopardy if net neutrality goes through. He was calm, collected, and spoke too eloquently to be telling the truth. Clearly practiced, this AT&T shill seemingly convinced the host that net neutrality was "Obama-czarist" government control over something that should be free-market, not realizing that it's actually government enforcing freedom on a monopoly controlled market. I wish I hadn't been driving; would have loved to call in and correct him.
If you always boot from an external media, let's say truecrypt bootable CD-R, wouldn't this solve the problem?
No, this opens you up to the evil maid booting up her favorite LiveCD and rewriting your BIOS from her LiveCD. Most BIOS passwords are still in the smallish range, so it won't take too many attempts to successfully "upgrade" your BIOS to newer Evil Maid(TM) brand keylogging BIOS. Allowing external media booting is generally a bad idea.
Bonus: if you take the CD with you at all times, then Evil Maid has to hire a thug to beat you up and steal the CD after she gets your encryption passphrase, so you get hurt too.
If it's been rebooted back to the truecrypt passphrase entry, then you know that someone's been monkeying with it. If you notice that your bios password and settings are gone, you can assume the bios ROM has been replaced in hardware. Or if you're sufficiently paranoid, you can assume the same just from the reboot, and junk the computer.
How'd rationality lead you to think that "liberal belief" includes the idea that killing an unborn child is "good?"
More objectively stated: "Liberal belief" includes the idea that being allowed to kill an unborn child without legal ramifications is "good", but only if the one making the decision is the mother; for anyone else, it's a crime.
For perspective: from a "Conservative" mindset, this is exactly like saying "being allowed to murder is 'good' as it does not restrict our innate freedom to act." Thus, why many Conservatives oppose legalized abortion.

While the buildup between China and the United States is a threat to the internet and networks internal to those countries, it is unlikely these wars will be fought in puppet theaters.
Puppet theaters like zombie civilian PCs around the world?
Even for as far as PC gaming has come, it still hasn't moved into one niche that consoles currently dominate. This niche is when you have friends over, and they're suddenly in the mood to play a video game. So you want a game that 1. is easy to learn and 2. doesn't need more PCs than you have available
Scorched Earth, RoboSport, etc. Tons of games in the pre-ubiquitous-internet days were made for local multiplayer (usually turn based).
If people could travel in time, the universe would [be stable]. People would keep going back and [causing] history.
If Hitler failed due to time traveler influence, then time travel must occur. See? Two can play at the untestable argument game. It's not science. It might not be wrong, but it's not science and it shouldn't be passed off as such.
To this day I have nightmares about the Chryssalids.
I remember my first Chryssalid encounter; it was at a mall Terror-site. My units had laser pistols and no armor, and there were zombies all over. "Weird", I thought, then I shot a zombie at point blank range. Oops.
Web devs need to have security enforced or they won't think about it for their sites. Shut off FTP and enforce SFTP only. If bandwidth is a factor is choosing FTP over SFTP, at the very least, use kerberized FTP. Make certain that phpMyAdmin is behind https and that authentication is required. Yes, this means they have to use two passwords. Tough.
Android, as a platform may quickly rise in dominance, but the competition, just amongst Android phones, will prevent an individual phone from taking a dominant position
Yep. Android phones will eventually outsell iPhones as the iPhone hardware is shown as stagnant. Why do/did IBM PC clones outsell Apple PCs? Diversity and openness.
the best advatage of UC's is they don't melt when you discharge a huge current as batteries do,
Um, the leads melt, and they definitely melt anything that short circuits them. I remember accidentally melting pits into a screwdriver after charging a camera-flash capacitor.
As long as people don't read the dice, it should be able to. All it needs is to detect the die shape, "d20 just rolled" and then roll a pseudo-random and announce the "roll". Benefit: no weighted die-problems. Detriment: some people have d10's that are shaped like d20's, and some others do all their rolls with one d20 and one d12.

TFA is about a small company
So, 4 of the only 5 people playing the game pirated it. 80% is a very round number.

Why would they need different licensing terms?

eh?

2. I typically hang the "do not trojan" sign on the doorknob instead, as this offers a much higher degree of protection.
Insert immature joke here. That was awesome. LOL
Something about Yahoo! and missing out on the latest developer swag due to misinterpretation, no doubt.

If that had been available earlier this year, I wouldv had it implanted :D
Until we hit the Moore's Law wall, implanting anything will result in multiple surgeries for upgrades or useless tech stuck in your body.

Forget Canadian engines. I just want to know if there will be any Canadian women in the simulation.

This is /. Get your paranoia straight.

When Arnold says he'll "take swift action" he MEANS IT!
That wasn't just slow loading, it slowed down FF scrolling. It uncompresses to 89 MB...
