The story is now finsished http://test.doit.wisc.edu/with a positive 
result...the Mac was not hacked ;-)

I think the testing period was too short

That was a new hack attempt btw...

Today I was just confronted with a 1 minute hack on VMS ;-) ..but 
that was a local account issue too :-) Still is fnu sometimes..

Web 2.0 Baloney by John C. Dvorak: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1931858,00.asp

Dvorak is a web 1.0 dinosaur.

Devorak is a dinosaur.

They said they where worried about the bandwidth. seems that is the 
only thing which can stop a mac. :)

It's Official! Windows XP Boots on Macbook!!!!  http://www.mathcaddy.com/windowsxpbootsonamac%21%21%21%211/

that is pretty cool.

I thought that you want the opposite - to run OS-X on general x86 
hw, no? :-)

what is so special on Mac x86 machine to run WinXP on it? It just 
does not make sense ...

they don't have a BIOS

there are already really good notebooks out there, being it Dell 
or IBM or Acer, whatever ...

Pekr. Just check out the site. ;_)

I don't see it either. Dual booting is a clumsy solution. It would 
be a lot more fun to just let them run inside OSX like OS9 apps run 
under OSX currently.

I will maybe read the article - It is one day old news I found on 
OSnews.com, but It did not attract me ... I will read it to see ...

pekr, it's fake. it's just a joke image

http://www.sixapart.com/...everyperson a blog ;-)

And another one hitting the race.. -> http://officelive.microsoft.com/

BUT here it is !!! XP boots on MAC (No joke this time!! ;-) http://youtube.com/watch?v=nzH6OFpXgzI

They claim anyway... ;-)

Museum of Modern Betas - http://momb.socio-kybernetics.net/

Coo.

cool.

Its NOT fake... here is the proof.... http://onmac.net/They earned 
14000 Dollars with it!

and another goole release hits the road... http://base.google.com/

Google/base is yet another uniquely simple offering from google that 
completely changes everything.

All your base are belong to Google

and another google...http://finance.google.com/finance

so what next? bible.google.com ?

perhaps  http;//your-bank-aacount.google.com

with a lot of zeros:-))

Bon Echo, is the '2.0' alpha release of firefox.

Of interest, is that bookmarks are moved into embedded sqlite.

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bonecho/releases/2.0a1.html

that is strange - all mail is plain text and can be og GBs of size 
.....

So will thunderbird move to binary files too? :-)

lets hope those browsers will do some good for the internet community.. 
For now they only go straight ahead wihout improving things..they 
just add gadgets and bells..oohh yes and yuo need at least 50 Meg 
of memory free to run those bulldozers.. ;-)

nah, Mozilla is the only browser, which does go like the buldozer, 
implementing new MLs .... and look at W3C, how many MLs we've got 
:-) Opera does nice job working on mobile devices, whereas MS tries 
to catch-up, but - imo they are more and more trying to make us dependant 
upon .NET ...

there are talks ....of SQLite in Thunderbird


http://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Replace_Normal_Folders_with_Virtual_Folders

uf, so the only advantage of mozilla mail is now gone :-) they go 
ms outlook route - one big file, binary, what a route ....

Do you know how much memory those Mobile devices use to run Java 
;-) Its outrages actualy...but it works..oke..and indeed all the 
modules etc its handy.. BUT..its all XML or C++ or Java Or javascript 
not realy the nicest lagunages to work with especialy when they need 
an engine to run on thats bigger then my Linux kernel....

About the Email.. I think they dont understand where email is going.. 
If they would have build an email client that would support encryption 
or packaging from text to grafics they would be on the route to the 
future.. For..re-inventing the wheel with lots of bells and advertising.. 
(yes im a little anti java and .net internet applications currently 
;-) Ever stranger...NET is dead and also is Java..still many use 
it.. i dont get it..

So I realy hope that someday the idea of Carl with ViewDesktop will 
pay off..

Java is not dead. It just moved to another segment - server apps. 
More and more systems are moving to Java  .... and .NET, at least, 
is being regarded as second big contender. I don't understand why, 
but then our company was never dependant upon any MS development 
tools. We are IBM guys :-)

Isnt it more that the Java community is moving other ways because 
of the onsupport by SUN? And I have read from a .NET developer from 
Microsoft that the complete architecture of .NET was wrong wrong 
the start and that they where running into problems and because of 
that they wuold not survive time?

hmm, I talk with various companies reps, big ones, as SAP, IBM etc. 
consultants, and they mostly say there are three dev. containers 
- C++, Java, .Net ....

I can't agree to .Net, but maybe that is because we are so much of 
a MS independent. We run mainframe, unix servers etc., it has tradition 
within our company, MS has NOTHING to offer to us in that regard 
....

I think that those development statements from consulatns are more 
related to the concervitive idea behind programming, like stick what 
you know..that cost effective..(im not sure)..and also the unknown 
is hard to target in projects... (and now im back angain at the year 
2000 and the rebol story...) Anyway.. as long as they stick with 
C++ .NET and Java.. the rest has probably an advantage..
