  • If it really is adds that crash Safari, also CNN might be interested about it, I don't think they want others to ruin their reputation. If it's their own pages, they might also be interested, probably not, but should still be informed. By the way ca…

  • Quote: Originally posted by AWAL I am a little frustrated with the sensor's calibration. I calibrated it on over a 400m distance, which helped things, but anything above my "normal" pace, the thing gets to be about 10% long every mile! This add…
  • Quote: Originally posted by tonton But knowing what you do, which makes you feel safer? Windows running an antivirus program, or OSX not running any? If you still say Windows, then you are being intellectually dishonest. I'd like to answer C…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MachOneFL Dude, Listen to yourself... First you imply we are simpleton "fan-boys" and that we are ignoring some future threat. When caledl to the carpet on that, your second approach was that this exorcize wa…
  • Quote: Originally posted by gene_technics Any doubts? When I started to develop my project in March, 2005 on Sony Ericsson Developer World's forum it was just an idea for modification of the SE 910's flip. Now when I have combined of the two inte…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Chucker You're confusing "secure erase free space" with "secure delete file". Yes, I totally did confuse things, and I apologise, but I try again, why do they have secure delete file, if "Empty free space" is what…
  • Quote: Originally posted by majortom BTW... is a Public Preview same as a Public Beta? Technically they are different, preview has been limited on purpose for review use only. Beta is unfinished version for testing purposes. But nowadays they…
  • Not sure I understood your answers properly, but are you people sure that secure delete doesn't just secure delete all spots marked empty, compared to just the spot that file occupied last? In other words secure erase free space. Wouldn't that be qu…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MachOneFL What are you talking about? Everything I said so far is true and fact. We are not talking about acts of faith here. It wasn't so much directed solely to you but many people on this thread, but actually s…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Carniphage You are correct. There may be some new threat to the OS X platform in the future. If it occurs it will be able to exploit some new and unforseen weakness in the current OS. We should be vigilant. HOWEVER …
  • Quote: Originally posted by bergz Ok then. I guess the question is this: Will the extant antivirus programs for OS X be able to counter future viruses, considering that, as lundy notes, they won't be in their databases? Do they seek out generi…
  • I have 10Mbps/500kbps cable connection with 59?(73$)/month, but compared to connections in sweeden I feel robbed. Those bastards get 100Mbps/10Mbps for 320kr=35?(43$). Of course it's not available every where, neither is my cable modem, but it cover…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MachOneFL How many actual viruses? No-one is arguing that there are not vulnerabilities and theoretical vulnerabilities or people to exploit them. How many real "in the wild" viruses for these platforms? Or bette…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MachOneFL Do you care to back up your assertions by providing links to stories of an outside hacker or program randomly gaining access to a properly setup "nix" computer? I'm sorry to challenge you but I haven't hea…
  • Quote: Originally posted by MachOneFL Let me explain why it's unlikely that a malicious piece of software is so hard to create. Aside from some software that asks and gets permission from the operator to install, you will probably never have the …
  • Quote: Originally posted by iPeon Oh, you poor person. Has someone convinced you that it's wrong for you to have certainty? No, there is nothing wrong with certainty, but as causation tells you, past doesn't prove anything about the future,…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Ireland We'll see soon enough, but I'd be willing to bet 10 bucks your wrong. If I was a developer who paid 2,000$ for developer info, I'd be guite disappointed if they used WWDC spotlight for iPod, which so far h…
