For all you kids who’re trying to add me to your LinkedIn accounts: piss off.
It’s really, really stupid to pay someone to “network” you with people you already know.
Here’s a crushing blow to LinkedIn’s @1998 business model: send some email. Yeah, that’s right, send email to your old colleagues.
Novel concept.
Now quit spamming me, monkeys.
One of the few useful features WinXP has that OSX doesn’t have is “Hibernate”. WinXP is able, upon power loss, to save the contents of a sleeping PC’s RAM to disk, so that the system state and user data isn’t lost.
OSX’s sleep feature drains power, albeit slowly. On my work iBook, it can sleep for just about 3 days with no power, before it goes dead.
The new Powerbooks have a feature that is called ‘Safe Sleep’, which is pretty much ‘Hibernate’. Since the feature is software-based, it’s fairly easy to implement on non-Powerbook Macs.
By now all three of you who read this site are familiar with the tale of how Sony released a music cd (by Van Zant, some crap country band) that includes a DRM rootkit.
What you don’t know is that certain enterprising World of Warcraft hackers have used this nice, working Ring0 rootkit to hide their nasty WoW cheating programs from Blizzard’s “Warden” cheat detection processes.
