Wow, um, overreaction to the nth degree. It's a flaw, not an in-the-wild exploit. This isn't causing worms to traverse the Internet, propagating themselves and destroying computers in their wake. It's about as "critical" as the much over-hyped MP3 "virus" (read: scam) for OS X several months ago. The code will be updated, we'll get a Software Update if it's really an issue, and the whole thing will blow over.
If you can disable the security manager like it says, then you have full access to the Java class library from your Applet. So that's a pretty big exploit. For example the Applet could get a list of documents in your home directory and email them off. Better not have anything private in there!

And someone else noticed here that

The problem seems to be a certain subset of designers and editors that refuse to even consider dropping Quark, mainly because of the shortcuts, and knowing Quark inside out......

Looks interesting. I'd buy it if it was cheap. Unfortunately, $199 is it bit steep, especially when OS X can accomplish much of what it does with a little effort.

More 1.60 Update Details
Sony releases new, expanded information on the latest firmware update.
by Chris Roper
US, March 20, 2007 - Yesterday we brought you news from Japan of what functionality the upcoming 1.60 firmware update would add to the PlayStation 3, but today's US press release shed light on a few more details. In addition to Remote Play support for 20GB models, an on-screen QWERTY keyboard and a zoom function for the web browser, the ability to run Folding@Home and basic background downloading, there will be a handful of other features included.
A disc auto-start option will allow users to choose whether they want their PS3 to automatically play a disc when it's inserted or the machine is turned on. Support for rewriteable Blu-ray discs has been added, as well as the ability to use Bluetooth keyboards and mice.
Most of all though, the US press release shed more details on the all-important background downloading feature for the PlayStation Store. Users will be able to queue up to six downloads at one time, which coincidentally matches the Xbox 360's maximum queue. Progress of these downloads can be followed under a new Download Management section that will reside under the Cross Media Bar's Network icon. While you won't be able to play a game while downloads work in the background, you will be able to watch video, view images, listen to music and browse the web at the same time.
The update is set for release on this coming Thursday, March 22nd.
That's a bit of a let down.

I really like the original... great idea which set it all in motion, and I like the idea of choosing your party instead of the linear line of characters.
The thing with FFVII was that is was too much... after watching my friend raise and race chocobo for a week I got burned out. damn chocobo! At least the original ones didn't have you wasting your time just to get that "one precious item"

I don't think they're going to introduce bigger displays, 23-Inch is big enough. If you want something bigger, buy a plasma screen...
I think a 19 Inch is more likely, with a bit more friendly price tag :)

First, lets start out with the obvious... Why would you take either everything2.com or Wikipedia(1) as a better reference than me? If I put the contents of these posts on my site, would that make the information more valid for you than me talking directly to you and answering your questions?(2)
What I'm telling you is mostly from the NeXT community's point of view... the Mac community (specially back in the 1980s) followed Apple's party line on these events.
This book was co-written by the co-founder of MacWorld so I think you could probably say he was �in the community� when the NeXT story was unfolding.When started, MacWorld wasn't completely independent from Apple... in fact it was (to start with) part of Apple marketing for the Macintosh.
Ok, but this article says that the non-compete clause stated all NeXT computers had only (a big only of course but nevertheless) to be more powerful than the similar Apple product so it wouldn�t compete?Originally Posted by everything2.com
When Jobs promptly resigned, Apple sued him for dereliction of duties (hah!)....I don�t quite understand that (there has to be more to it) but it would link with the prices and specs you give above that make each NeXT system more powerful and better specced than anything Apple had.
Well, Jobs had no duties at Apple... and he had free reign of the company to go where he pleased and do as he pleased. And so he went around talking to people about starting up a new computer company.
At this stage the company they were talking about was aimed at the education market and Jobs presented his ideas to the Apple board to get their support... and more importantly, their financial backing. He honestly believed that Apple would help him do this.
The board, when seeing the people Jobs was going to take with him sued.
It was at this point when Next (as it was originally written) abandon the education market as anything more than a jumping off point into other markets. Rather than being an Apple partner, Next was to be a stand alone computer company.
This change (in Apple's eyes) upped the ante in the legal case. It was no longer about taking both key and non-key people from Apple, Next was now going to be a full on competitor with Apple.
This was where the non-compete clause came in. Next could sell in any market other than Apple's core market, the desktop. This really only left open the workstation and server markets. It was the fact that Next was being forced into the workstation market that pushed Unix at them. They needed to be Unix based to compete as workstation class systems.
To think that the addition of Unix was for students is completely illogical. By adding in Unix, Next was adding on an additional $700 in licensing per computer that could have been avoided if Unix wasn't there.
No, Next wasn't designing computers for schools... they were designing workstations to compete with the likes of Sun and Silicon Graphics.
I can�t find anything that says NeXT targeted the education market as a first step...But that was while he was still with Apple and Next was going to be an Apple partner company... not a competitor or a stand alone computer company. Apple's rejection of Jobs and his ideas radically change the directions of what Next was going to be before Next was really fully formed as a company.
Furthermore, according to wikipedia one of the main connotations for the emphasized �e� in NeXT is supposedly �education�.
However, because the NeXT cube was shunned by its core market, it then had to try and break into the workstation market because:Originally Posted by everything2.com
Although the press was in love with the machine, its target market, higher education, saw things differently. Although it came with a full array of programs including Mathematica, a reference library, and the full works of William Shakespeare, it was too expensive and loaded to be a personal computer, yet too underpowered to be a workstation, the computer was dubbed by NeXT marketing to be a "personal workstation.Like I said, unless you think everyone at NeXT was a fool, the system they designed wasn't designed for students. It was designed for mid-range workstation use.
And it is major revisionist history to say that NeXT computers were underpowered. Motorola's 68030 was a workstation class processor at the time, and Silicon Graphics had just previously been using the 68020 as their main processor.
Both Apple and NeXT were using processors that far exceeded anything used in Intel based PCs at that time. Further, NeXT started using the 68040 more than a year before Apple. The 68040 was as fast as the MIPS R3000 processor used in Silicon Graphics systems and the microSPARC used by Sun.
Like I said, the only reason for using Unix was because the system wasn't aimed at students or the desktop. And the inclusion of Mathematica is a perfect example of what it was designed for... high end mathematics (the area I first started using NeXT system in). Also Mathematica wasn't included on systems sold outside the education market. If you wanted Mathematica on a NeXT system and were not a student/educator, you were paying full price. But you were also paying to run Mathematica on the best system for Mathematica.
And how good was Mathematica on NeXT hardware?
Last month after a presentation I gave someone came up to me to ask about NeXT software and hardware. What they wanted it for was to run a copy of Mathematica on (which version 3 can still be purchased for NeXT hardware for $35).(3)
Mathematica isn't software for students... it is professional software for mathematicians. A single user license of Mathematica today is about $1,800, which is more than twice the price of QuarkXPress.
These were designed as professional, workstation class, systems.
On the subject of the change from Next to NeXT, this was done when Paul Rand of Yale designed the NeXT logo. He took his inspiration from Robert Indiana's LOVE painting. Rand's idea for emphasizing the "e" by making it the only lower case letter was to represent education, excellence, expertise, exceptional, excitement and e=mc2. So yeah, education was part of it... but then again, so is Special Relativity and I don't see anyone saying that these computers were designed for just the physics market.

The LOVE painting and NeXT logo
Is it not necessarily that they got it all wrong and all right, just that the pieces came together better the second time round at Apple and Steve had learnt from his experiences and applied a better ethic?Well, if you discount what I'm saying for what others are saying... then NeXT people were practically morons.
When you add in the factors I'm telling you about, you start to realize that to have made it to 1996 was an amazing task. And the fact that Sun was about to attack the desktop market based on a partnership with NeXT tells you where NeXT was at the time that Apple acquired them. NeXT had given up on operating systems by this point in the same way that they had given up on hardware in 1993. Handing that part of their business over to Sun would at least give people a chance to experience NEXTSTEP... even if it was Solaris underneath rather than Mach/BSD.
But NeXT wasn't about to go under at that point either. NeXT was going to keep the areas that made them money... OpenStep Enterprise (runtime environment for other platforms), Enterprise Objects and WebObjects.
And like I've said many times before, Sun was flush with cash at this point. They were more than willing to buy any company that they saw as being up for sale... and NeXT wasn't up for sale.
:rolleyes:
Well, except for when Jobs offered it to Apple.
Is there any recommended reading on the subject?!I haven't found any good books on NeXT... not that tell the whole story.
Sadly, most skip the points of the settlement, what NeXT was aiming for early on, just how powerful NeXT computers were at the time of there original release (comparable in speed to both the low end Sun and Silicon Graphics workstations), and the direction NeXT was going with Sun before Apple bought them (which seems to be universally ignored by everyone).
All of those were major factors in the history of NeXT. But all those factors contradict the legend of the NeXT's failure... which seems to be the only story worth printing.
(1) Wikipedia is full of errors on the history of NeXT, Rhapsody and Apple. A good example is that Wikipedia has TextEdit as being the replacement for WriteNow on NeXT computers. TextEdit was a demo app included with OPENSTEP and didn't become the default word processor until the release of Rhapsody. From NEXTSTEP 2.1 to OPENSTEP 4.2 the default word processor was Edit.
(2) The reason I'm willing to write all this is that it gives me an excuse to finally write it all down so I can eventually make a page on this for my NeXT site.
(3) I, personally, run Mathematica 2.2.2 on my PowerBook 3400c, PowerBook Duo 2300c and in Blue Box on my PowerMac 8600/300. While nice software, I rarely had use for any computer stuff in my area of mathematics. I do run Geomview on an OPENSTEP system though.

Ahhh, thanks guys! Didn't know that I was soooo inspiring! So the sentece underneath every post that I made has inspired a couple of you and dared you to fold. I'm glad that it worked, now I can retire! NOT!! I will catch you guys some day, but first I'll need to come up with a battling plan!
Well, you could start by folding for me and help me get to a million. Then we'll switch to Dreadnought and contribute to your account. Otherwise you'll be waiting about two years for my points.
You might think it a joke, but your sig has probably inspired more people than you think. Daring someone to do something is usually a pretty good way to encourage others to take you up on it. It's kind of like seeing high scores posted on a video game. You just have to get the top score! I'd be willing to bet that people seeing your sig have been made more curious than any of the other folding related ones.
And despite the ribbing I've given you and being several hundred thousand points ahead of you, you're still (in my mind) one of the top folders and "team leaders" if you will. Always active, always ready to talk trash, and always encouraging others to join.

man we have fallen behind so damn fast, until I see 2. something ghz with ddr ram and a bus speed from here to amazing, I will not be buying a new mac.
I use to say I'll wait till dual 1.6 ghz, but I've decided to make apple work for the money I have to work for

How charged does it say your batteries are? Is it possible that your batteries are coming loose in the casing? I've had that happen once or twice when my batteries are about to run out.

Like others I have some computers on all of the time. I have two linux boxes and it is easy to run folding in the background and I can never tell. In fact on my Slackware machine I don't even use a GUI, so I have folding on one terminal window and I use Telnet and IRC on other telnet windows. That is about all the Slackware machine does so it can handle a little folding.
Regardless of if my systems make a difference, or I score very many points, I could possibly be doing some good and I have contributed to the team and I think it would be neat to build a Folding cluster of old Macs and Linux boxes.

If you could ask Steve Jobs one question and he had to answer it, what would it be?

Camino 0.8.2 is here...
Cool. With Firefox having a tendency to go braindead in its 1.0 release, it's nice to have a stable Gecko browser for testing things.

Sure, it's the same kind of crack that affect iTMS, but the difference is, you have to give iTMS a buck first. Napster allows you to grab their whole library for $15 a month.
If you get 100 users to spend 2 months downloading 10,000 songs each, Napster gets $3,000, and (in time) we get all their stuff. To do that to iTMS would, of course, still be a buck-a-song.
...and yeah, the whole "Napster's Back" is total crap. There's nothing common but the legal right to the name.
No, actually, if you *do the math*, what we're talking about here really sounds like "Napster's back, wooohooooo!!" :D

Next I'll write a script to read the MacRumors news and forums, so I won't have to do that "manually" any more either.
Haha, does that come bundled with AI too?
Not the Fake AI, Real AI.

what happens to a thread like
