Why couldn't the server just tell the client what time it thinks it is when the connection is initiated? Then the client would use the server time in place of its own time. Seems trivial to me.
Reminds me of the Book Karel the Robot. It was a book that introduced programming as a little robot that was part of a room and could be instructed to do different things.

Doubtful. More probably they might offer choice when purchasing. Would you like a DVD burner with your system. Ok, now what operating system would you like on your system?

Your comment is confusing to me. How were the spammers connected to Dozier? Or are you saying Dozier was the spammer? When you say "one of the spam posts advertised this company" what does the "this" refer to?
Give me a break, If I have the machine in my hands I don't need a password to access the data. I can take the hard drive and and see every bit on the drive. This only adds convieniece for me (the guy with the machine in my hand).
On the Mac I can encrypt my home directory so even if someone did copy its contents they wouldn't be usable without a password. Not sure about this on Windows, but don't say security is out the door when you don't know what you are talking about.
I have used Target Disk mode on my macs since 1998 when they first came out with firewire. It is the best way to move data from one machine to the other. If you have ever migrated to a new Mac all you do is boot your old one in target mode and the setup program grabs all your data. If someone steals your machine and you have set yor home directories to use FIle Vault them they will "not" be able to get your data without some sort of brute force attack.
I just setup a co-worker with a new machine. It took less than an hour and he sat down and was using his new machine just like he had used his old machine. I know everyone around here loves anecdotal evidence:)
This example shows the patent system working to the end it was designed (encourageing innovation). If Cisco had not had a patent on design A design B may have never surfaced.
I must be very dense, or am I missing something. Shouldn't the RIAA come after me since I use iTunes and "Share" the music I have ripped from CD's? (I realize iTunes only shares within your subnet)
I understand they have proven that she made her files available via a network, but shouldn't they have to prove they were not hers to legally put there? If I upload a file to anonymous FTP so that when I get home I can grab it is that copyright infringment?
It seems to me the infringment happens when I download a song that I don't own. Is this what she did. Everything I have read seems to indicate that she only posted her files.
well, I mostly don't. If I suspect something is wrong with a system I use pandasoftware.com and run their free online activescan.
To protect myself I simply do not run day to day things as an administrative account. When I set up a machine I always create 2 accounts Admin and UserAccount. By default these are both Admin accounts. So I go ahead and install all of my software on the UserAccount and when I am satisfied that the system is up to date and has all the programs I need I log in and downgrade the account to Limited.
If in the future I need admin access I login that way. This stops most of the "stealth" software.
Slashdot Mirror
just to do simple phone app development
Apparently the Anonymous Coward has never used an iphone app.
iTunes does what they are told. To blame them would be to miss the point.

Wow,
If I buy a $350 Office Depot, Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. Computer and return the Microsoft stuff then...
$350-$130-70=$150
That is a great price for a computer.

Makes other OS choices more appealing.

I'm confused? Why not make it so the computer only outputs punh cards as these are more difficult to read than the "convenience " of a screen.
Making something more difficult to get to doesn't make it more secure
Ignorance is bliss. I remember the days when people said color monitors and sound cards were toys.

Thanks, my logic has been debunked. I feel so stupid.
I am not a big fan of the patent system. but...

Looks great in Safari. Not sure the code is bad possibly just the rendering.
Another one that bugs me is the use of modem. I have a DSL router, not a DSL modem. But this term probably has evolved from MOdulate/DEModulate.
