"Take Control of Customizing
Tiger" Updated to Version 1.0.1 -- When Apple shipped
Tiger, there were a few small things that turned out to have changed
from the seeds we used when writing the Take Control ebooks. Matt
Neuburg has now updated his "Take Control of Customizing
Tiger" to reflect information that has become available since
Tiger's release, with the primary changes coming in the sections about
Spotlight and Dashboard. It's a minor update but one that's essential
to keep the book accurate and helpful as it walks readers through
customizing Tiger features such as Spotlight, Smart Folders,
Dashboard, and Automator. Those who purchased the 1.0 version may
access the free update by clicking the Check for Updates button on the
cover of the ebook, and if you wish to re-print the new version, we
suggest first consulting the "What's New in Version 1.0.1"
list in the "Read Me First" section to determine if the
changes warrant using additional paper.

Video Voyeurs Face Crack Down
Video Voyeurs Face Crack Down
09/22/2004 01:57 PMPornographers beware - new legislation coming into law in the US will
soon make the practise of covertly taping people "for lascivious
purposes" illegal. Described as "video voyeurism", the
practise has become the "new frontier of stalking". After
the bill has passed, doing so would lead to a fine of $100,000 and
imprisonment of up to one year.
The miniaturization of cameras and the low cost of products have made
it easy for people to do this covertly. Rep. James Sensenbrenner
described the problem as "a huge privacy concern". The
camera made notorious by many a internet ad, the
X10, is one of many
devices causing the problem, along side the growing spread of camera
phones.
The bill would make illegal to "videotape or photograph the naked
or underwear-covered private parts of a person without consent when
the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy".

FeedDemon Crack
06/18/2004 09:27 AMDave
Winer and Evan
Williams commented that the people who shout the loudest are often
the ones who have no basis for their anger. I'm reminded of this fact
by an email I received this morning. Here's a quote:
"Fix your piece of s--- program! I upgraded to
FeedDemon 1.10 and it crashes with 'Win32 device error.' Did you even
test this s---?"
I've actually received a number of emails (and one forum post)
about this bug, but I have no plans to fix it. Why? Because the
error message only appears if you upgrade a cracked
version of FeedDemon 1.0. This is a deliberate error
message that FeedDemon 1.10 displays when it detects that you upgraded
from a specific cracked version of FeedDemon 1.0.
That's right, people who use a pirated version of
FeedDemon are emailing me for support. It never ceases to amaze me
when people not only steal from me, but also expect me to spend my
time answering their questions. And more often than not, the email
I've received about this problem reads like something a drunk teenager
would write.
I've written
about piracy befor
e and I'm not planning to start another lengthy rant. But I do
have a request for those who have justified their use of cracked
versions of my work: don't ask for support. I
support my family with sales of my software, and my life is affected -
dramatically - by the existence of cracks. Please, if you're using a
pirated version of my software, don't expect me to help you.

ot only is it illegal, but it's becoming increasingly dangerous,โ
Leggio said of underage drinking. How dangerous? Well apparently
dangerous enough that one affluent Kansas City community has decided
that it is best to have police spy on teens during high school
basketball games. Oh it gets better, apparently a carload of teens is
enough for a Lenexa cop to follow you! So the parents should be up in
arms right? Nope, they encourage the police, even calling them
("she told dispatchers that when she called home to check on her
son, it sounded like a party was going on"). Yet surprisingly,
despite this almost police-state like mentality against drinking,
atti
tudes are slow to change.

06/05/2005 11:47 PMHappy Friday:
Cryptographers have discovered a way to hack Bluetooth-enabled
devices even when security features are switched on. The discovery may
make it even easier for hackers to eavesdrop on conversations and
charge their own calls to someone else's cellphone.
"Our attack makes it possible to crack every communication between
two Bluetooth devices, and not only if it is the first communication
between those devices," says Shaked.
Check out the time required to pull this off:
They show that once an attacker has forced two devices to pair,
they can work out the link key in just 0.06 seconds on a Pentium
IV-enabled computer, and 0.3 seconds on a Pentium-III. "This is not
just a theoretical break, it's practical," says Schneier.

A Naifa

"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug"
"Don't do crack; it's a ghetto drug"
06/19/2004 04:52 PMFifteen of us gathered last night for a screening of the 1992 Tim
Robbins political satire Bo
b Roberts. This mockumentary of a folksinging conservative
Wall Street trader turned politician has held up surprisingly
well. In the background of the movie, President Bush is in the
White House and American troops are about to invade Iraq. Gore
Vidal does a great job playing a Ted Kennedy-style career
senator. The songs are fun but sadly the soundtrack has never
been made available.
My favorite part of the movie is when Bob Roberts closes a letter
to a 7-year-old girl in Vermont with the admonition "Don't do crack;
it's a ghetto drug."
This is the perfect movie for an election-year party.
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?
Slashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?
03/11/2003 01:22 AMSlashdot -- Someone Smoking Crack ?
Now I know that the Slashdot audience isn't all that reliable at best.
Yes we all read it but we rarely trust it. Still I'd expect a little
better than this:
The Object Prevalence concept, developed by the Prevayler team, and
implemented in Java, C#, Smalltalk, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby and
Delphi, can be a great a solution to this mess. The concept is pretty
simple: keep all the objects in RAM and serialize the commands that
change those objects, optionally saving the whole system to disk every
now and then (late at night, for example). [_Go_]
Now that's a cool concept. So I did the natural thing and went and
looked for the code. Since I'm a php-head, I figured that I'd look
there to start. Nope! According to SourceForge, "This project has
not released any files". Well I can get by in Perl so I thought "Ok,
not my preference but ok". Nope. Well I think Python is neat and
people I respect a lot like it. Additionally Guido has just plain
guts to make the decision he did regarding mandatory indentation.
Break conventions is hard so I figured I'd look at the Python version.
Nope! Well once upon a midnight dreary, ... (bag the mock Poe), I
did a lot of Pascal. Nope! It turns out that only the C# and Ruby
versions exist. I couldn't get the Smalltalk page to come up so I
don't have a clue there.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about the concept but just
pointing out that this posting is essentially wrong on many of the
major details. And, sadly, it doesn't really surprise me at all.
