It's no more absurd than the American automaker's bailout plea - this is a huge industry in Taiwan.

Do you really think there are no security problems on the iPhone? Android is not unique...but at least it's open source, so these issues are discovered and patched much quicker than with proprietary software.

It's also common to see older version of libraries and other software - they've been tested for longer, and are generally more stable than the cutting edge. Usually security updates get pushed into older version, this is just an exception to that.

For anyone reading a magagine titled MaximumPC, learning the command line is in their best interest. A powerful GUI is great, but if you truly want to get the most from your computer knowing what's going on underneath is required.

This is like banning pencils because they can be used to copy a novel.

So, I'm really loving all of the new content (and the quantity/frequency of it), but in order to avoid information overload I'd like to understand what goes where.

I'm subscribed to the "all posts" RSS feed. I prefer to read my news here. I'm also subscribed to the newsletter - is this only duplicate content from the posts, or will I miss anything good?

Thanks!

I haven't really seen a good answer to this - why does it make sense to add to the workload of my already pummeled 8800GT, by processing physics as well as graphics? When will these drivers support running two cards to do these two tasks?

Immediately after reading that, I called Comcast and learned that not only was my upload double as of now, they have an 8Mb down / 2Mb up plan for $3 more per month than the 6Mb down / 1Mb up, and the 16Mb down / 2Mb up plan is only $10 more! In short, I finally love my internet connection.

To ease your worry, the Lightroom disc is actually dual-platform - there are installs for both Windows and Mac.

I use a TiddlyWiki to achieve the same thing. ccTiddlyWiki is a version that can be installed to a webserver and accessed remotely. It's very slick and easy to use.
