Goes to prove yet again how the "free market", that weird beast so idolized by economists, is such a fickle creature. Cause after over several months underwater, there is NO way you are gonna get a clean room facility up to snuff & speed in a matter of days. Of course, now that the excuse is over, all the hoarding speculators are trembling in fear of getting stuck with their huge stockpile and will start to desperately flood the market.
Almost sounds like a trick question.
In spite of Apple's best efforts, the GUI is still much connected to cultural artifacts and, hence, is very difficult to come up with a Universal GUI understood and liked by all. There are, granted, some universal constructs, but these seem to be of a very general nature and you quickly run into a wall when digging into the specifics.
I would like to dream that a beneficial effect of globalization will be that us humans will eventually come to a common understanding. Maybe my great grandchildren will live long enough to see that, I we don't blow ourselves up first. Oh, and I have to get working on engendering a few kids first...
Worth noting that, keeping in line with maximizing a forced adoption of the latest cat, the fix is only available for those using the latest version of Snow Leopard or Lion. At least at this time (5 PM CDT, 9 Sep 2011) the rest of the MacOS universe can go suck an egg...
Just like the case of adopting Lion. If you want to skip a cat and not have to pay for Snow Leopard, tough luck, compadre. Lion ONLY installs on top of Snow Leopard.
FYI, Mexico passed the "LEY FEDERAL DE PROTECCIÓN DE DATOS PERSONALES EN POSESIÓN DE LOS PARTICULARES" or "federal law for the protection of personal data in the hands of third parties " (official decree page in Spanish: http://dof.gob.mx/nota_detalle.php?codigo=5150631&fecha=05/07/2010), which is scheduled to go in effect on Jan/2012. This law is equivalent to the US legislation and was probably a mandatory development in line with NAFTA and other international agreements.
BTW, this has proven to be a big business opportunity for the likes of IBM and others, as all responsible companies in Mexico scramble to comply by the deadline.
I can't believe the droves of geeks orbiting the
Ok, not anticipated but something dreaded and inevitable. Any and all products, hardware or software, needed to make IPv6 work across the board will be an inescapable necessity. Latest projection (10 min ago) indicates the last few unassigned bits of IPv4 address space will be gone before February is out.
Yes, cute, we've slashdotted the OpenBSD foundation.... Well... at least they're getting the attention they so justly deserve after the unwavering effort!
Fags and fruits????
How comes that, after a Microsloth lackey talks about "rethinking OS's" and gets everyone hot and horny with mental masturbations of what needs to be done to that disgrace to Computer Sciences called Windows, not a single mention has been made to the fact that Sun Microsystems developed the Niagara processor, with 8 cores capable of running 4 concurrent threads each, for a massive total of 32 concurrent threads in a single chip. And how the Solaris O.S. has evolved to a massively multithreaded system capable of using that processing capability. And how that was done in the past century. But since at the time Microsloth was too busy extorting our money with Lentium single core/thread processors, all that technology was conveniently ignored. Now that the low hanging fruit is gone and the going's rough, they will want us to believe they "invented" together with their Intel cohorts the multicore/multithread/paralell processing idea so they can raise the price of Windoze 8?
