I think one of the appeals of TM1 was that it WAS a native Mac app and felt like one. Qt apps never 'feel' completely native, so if you went down that path you'd end up with an awkward, substandard, non-native text editor and might as well be using Sublime Text.
Depending on the configuration, it can be accessed from a remote computer. In this case, it was configured for localhost access, however it is entirely possible that it could be world-accessible.
Right... that's like saying "The root password was strong, however it is entirely possible that it could be an empty string."
Fortunately, someone on the main article did respond that having trace.axd enabled could result in 500 errors dumping a stack trace. That's a much clearer argument for why having tracing enabled is a bad thing.
I'm all for Assange's senate bid, but given he doesn't seem to have declared/decided which state/territory he will be running for the Senate in, I'm curious as to how these data can be considered accurate/representative of any actual electoral outcome.
It's pretty easy for a minor party (well, 'one of the', not 'a') to pick up the last senate seat in a state, given the way they're allocated. It all depends on which way the preferences flow.
Yeah, you're probably right -- I went and had a look back at 2007. Xenophon won, but a Green also picked up a Senate seat (in SA). The Greens polled just 6.5% and picked it up off preferences.
I was figuring his vote would come at the expense of the Greens, but even in that case the major parties were marginal enough on the 6th seat to get the Greens in.
(Plus the DLP won a seat in Vic in 2010, off just 2.3% of the primary).
I expect the next election will be quite a shake-up, especially in the Senate - certainly can't see the major parties gaining. So, you're probably right that preferences will dominate the 5/6th seats.
Just as an aside, you get free registration with App Hub as a student via DreamSpark (or at least you did about a year ago; I assume it's still the case.)
Probably the same for many other country domain suffixes. It's the same for .ie (Ireland) for example, you have to have a connection to the country as well as the domain name itself. Typical examples would be your own name or business name.
To be fair, it's pretty horrid on OS X as well - several of these issues apply cross-platform (iTunes WiFi sync error messages are presented to me on a daily basis running Lion, for example.)
I'm not sure about US law, but in Australia the directors could be personally in breach of their statutory duties by (even symbolically) approving such a transaction without checking it out.
This was a huge transaction by anyone's standard – it could definitely be argued that the directors weren't acting with the required standard of care by approving it so quickly and readily, which puts them in a really awkward place; damned if they do, removed from the board if they don't.
Again, this is in the context of Australian corporate law, but I imagine it's not incredibly dissimilar in the US.
Well, their product has been unjustly removed from both Google and Apple stores. I'm surprised the blog post isn't filled with more negativity towards both companies - the "sensationalist" title suits the content and tone perfectly.
