>No mention of a licence.
You'd better check.
I used to think, but if you dig out your microscope and read the tiny print (can be on the label, booklet or cover) you'll usually find that you have been granted a license for personal use of whatever is on the medium and normally excluding public performance (so a radio station can't just pay £10 for a CD to play on the air as many times as they want, for example).
I must admit, I was quite surprised when I looked into this stuff a few years ago.
Deeper joy. I imagine Samsung are doing this because Apple are rumoured to be working on the same thing and they want to get something out first.
When is Apple's car rumoured to launch? 2020? Expect Samsung's in 2019 and for it to include something technically quite impressive that makes you go "wow", but which is completely useless in the real world - like being able to unlock it by break-dancing or being able to slide your 52" living room TV into the seats to provide rear screen entertainment.
That still leaves one ear....
Yeah, those idiots, not thinking of every possible scenario that could lead to a breach and securing against it.
Hang on, I'll get back to you.
Don't forget that while China is the largest manufacturer of electronics it isn't the only one by a long way. If they suddenly decided to stop supplying the rest of the world there would be shortages and price rises in the short term but long term new plants would be built to take up the demand.
Chip manufacture goes on around the world, before China the big players were in Japan and Taiwan, now you have South Korea to add to that mix. Those are only the biggest players. There's a chip fab plant around five miles from where I live in the UK, for example.
Ramping up capacity is what takes time, these days the clean room environment that's needed takes around four to five years to establish once a plant is built meaning that you're looking at around a six year lead.
"Consumers don't make their decisions based on broadband speed or network coverage or service reliability or customer service - just price - and so the only winning business strategy is to cut costs and prices"
No, they don't, that's quite patently obvious with just a cursory glance at what is available on the market and the number of customers with each supplier. Only some people decide purely on price.
It is true that there are an unhealthy number of business people who believe this rubbish and end up destroying perfectly healthy businesses in the pursuit of the lowest prices.
>For a long time there seemed to be a media consensus that Peter Davison's portrayal was a >disappointing, lightweight followup to Tom Baker that started the show's slow decline in the 80s. It's >interesting that this seems to have changed in the past few years, with far more people taking a >positive view.
I think that is because Tom Baker has such a huge presence, anyone following him (apart from perhaps Brian Blessed) was always going to look really flat in comparisson.
Like many here, I think McCoy was probably one of the better doctors, but had both the worst scripts and production values so was always going to be in trouble.
OMG, I never noticed that!
>Just after DOS 6 then?
Not if you're old enough to remember DOS 4.
I think they're pretty good examples that price is not the only factor that matters to people if you're not on an especialy constrained budget.
Why people make the decision to purchase certain products or from certain companies may not be immediately clear, or may not even make much sense if you don't share those views/values/whatever.
> how do you know if they have collected your biometric information?
When the TwatSpanners(TM) in advertising attach cameras to those colourful LED/LCD/Plasma/whatever advertising boards in shopping centres and then match the camera data to the FB data in order to personalise the adverts to you as you walk by.
I guarantee there are people working in that industry right now who have literally no clue why anyone would be against such a thing.
I think we should lobby our respective parliamentary representatives to have "working in advertising" correctly classified as the mental disorder that it is, then we can help these people with their debilatating social problems instead of villifying them.
I've been running Windows 10 under El Capitan with Parallels 10 without any apparent problems, so I'd hope it doesn't magically "break" when the full version of El Capitan ships.
With previous OSX releases I usually found that Parallels wouldn't work, once because of an API change that fundementally broke it, but mostly because something moved or permissions changed - in which case there were often work-arounds.
To be fair that wasn't the only problem they had or daft decision they made, for me the biggest standouts were:
- Launching with minimum memory requirements of 4Mb (yes, Mb!), but really needing 6Mb just after an earthquake took on of the world's larged memory fabrication plants offline causing memory prices to more than quadruple. That's not IBM's fault, just unfortunate.
- Launching without a TCP/IP stack just as the internet was beginning to get traction.
- Trying to charge £95 for the TCP/IP stack when they made it available about a year later.
So just as the home PC market kicked into high gear with machines available around the £600 mark, you needed to spend around £2,000 on a machine that could run OS/2.
They did eventually realise their errors and around late 1996 you could finally get a decent OS/2 setup for around that £600, but by that time Windows 95 was too well established.
If you draw a Venn diagram containing "People with money" and "People running 4+ year old iOS devices", I'd bet the intersection is quite small.
So while those older devices are vulnerable, it's increasing less likely that anyone would bother targeting them.
I was left with the impression that EE don't know the difference between refute and repudiate.
Was I the only one to think "Praxis!" when I first heard of this?
You can buy ostrich burgers in Iceland now, along with kangaroo, buffalo and crocodile since they started stocking Kezie meats.
Didn't that guy work for Adobe in the Flash team a few years ago?
>Marketing means understanding what people want.
Model S currently outsells the i8 by more than 30 to 1, seems like they have a pretty good handle on what people want.
But that's a pointless comparison, the Model S is in the luxury saloon sector of the market, people generally aren't saying "Should I buy a 911 or Range Rover? They're about the same price".
Telsa have understandably gone for a conservative design for their first high-volume vehicles, when you're only offering one model you need it to appeal (or at least not repel) as many customers as possible. So far I've heard many comments that the car is too expensive, but I haven't heard anyone say they don't want one because of the way it looks.
This is intended for installation with domestic Tesla chargers.
It's intended for use in conjunction with their Autopilot system and an automatic garage door; you park on your driveway, then use the Tesla app on your phone to tell the car to put itself in the garage at which point it also puts itself on charge.
When you want to go out, you can tell the car to meet you on the driveway.
If you sync your calendar with the car it will even pre-warm or cool the interior and be ready for you 15 minutes before you have to leave - even checking the prevailing traffic conditions and letting you know to leave early if necessary.
Yes, there are a million things that could go wrong and a million scenarios (particularly in the UK) where you just can't make use of this technology, but I still think it's pretty cool if they can get it working.
Personally, I have two immediate problems with this,
a) I can't afford a Tesla
b) I don't have a driveway
In order to do it with Apple Pay (and similar), the skimmer would have to validate the transaction on the device, which you would probably notice. At the very least it's no longer skimming.
In addition to that the authorization token generated by the device is single use, so they couldn't repeatedly charge the account from a single skim like they can now.
I would also note that cards that issue single-use tokens are in the pipeline already, which will make skimming less lucrative in future for the same reason.
Neat trick that, getting everyone to concentrate on his hair like that's the /worst/ thing about him.
1) It's not going live yet, they're collecting data.
2) The shows where they're going to be *this month* not *ever*. Beware of bad journalism.
Will they cover everywhere when they launch? Probably not, but then as someone who lives in an area that wasn't covered by Streetview for the first two or three years I would say that Streetview's initial coverage was not "good" when it launched.
These are not contradictory things, the OS looks at data on the phone to match the number, it doesn't send the data to Apple for recording and analasys.
In reality it's not that much different from looking in your contacts so that a name can be displayed for an incoming number.
Unfortunately, VirnetX lobbed a sueball and won the case. Apple had to re-write the way FT operates in such a way that avoids those patents and in the process made it worthless as an OS project.
IIRC the patents were around P2P connections used in the old version, the re-write means the connections are now made through a central server.
So you'd either have to OS the server software as well - and rely on people setting up their own servers - or you'd have to route all of your FT communications through Apple's servers.
Neither of those options strike me as something you'd really want.
Where are you looking?
Dell don't appear to offer the 7020 with a 1Tb drive (only 500Gb) and when you add a monitor it comes to £1142 (inc VAT). The dell website offers £335 off at the moment, but you can get discounts and better support from Apple if you speak to the business team instead of just buying off the website.
Also, you're comparing a consumer offering with a business offering.
You're confusing availability with adoption.
I read somewhere that the grammar any typographical mistakes are deliberate.
Supposedly it makes people who wouldn't fall for the scam ignore the email in the first place as they correctly identify it as dodgy, thus allowing you to end up with a barrel of "easy mark" fish that you can then shoot.
I guess it's a bit like those police sting operations where they catch people on the run by telling them they've won something and then arresting them when they come to collect.
Maybe he was just holding it wrong....
(Runs away)
As I understand it, MS and Apple have put the functionality into the firmware already (or it will be in the next release), but some Android devices haven't.
EE are putting the functionality into their "branded" firmware they put on the locked handsets they sell.
It's not clear if the functionality will work if you happen to own a handset that does have the functionality but which isn't EE branded, or if they would block it.
If you've already won, pull a cracker with someone who's lost and give them the prize whatever the outcome.
It's Christmas, it's mean to be about sharing.
Jeez, talk about missing the point....
>Thanks, but after hearing about this I won't be staying an EE customer for long
Are you not going to even wait to see if the deal gets done?
That said, I'm an EE customer and I do not wish to do business with BT either. Personally, I'll probably stay with EE until they try to sell me BT line.
The real problem for me is that we're gradually reaching a point where I don't want to do business with any of the companies offering services that I need because of the buy-ups, so I may end up just having to lump it.
I fear you have it the wrong way around, this is to allow you to stalk others.
Deleting the app won't prevent anyone from stalking you, you need to delete your account.
>Just think about how special a £50 note feels. It's more special than three £20 notes.
Not to me, I'll give you a £50 note for three £20 notes any time you want.
PTT was really badly explained (at least it was by Nokia). I remember getting my first phone that had PTT as a feature, but the description in the manual and on the marketing material just made it sound like a special button for one speed-dial number. So in the end, I just continued using the speed-dials I already had set up.
UMA is making a comeback now the support is in more handsets, I think EE are supposed to be deploying it soon, I expect the other networks will follow suit shortly - except for O2 who have invested in TuGo instead..
"Microsoft would do well to rebadge their mobile offering in an Xbox-like manner (although I can see Apple kicking off at "Xphone"), and re-invent themselves. The recent open-sourcing of .net was a step in the right direction, but there's still huge amounts of ground to make up."
They would have done about five years ago, but now they've started
dragging repositioning X-Box closer to the Windows ecosystem, they're beginning to poison the brand.
I predict that at some point in the next 2-3 years, they'll add "Windows" to the X-Box brand, then be confused as the sales tank.
The Windows brand is toxic and its getting worse.
>... home of the best meat pies that I've found on this planet. I particularly remember a venison pie >from Te Anau that was sublime.
This guy doesn't do venison, but he is trying to replicate the NZ pie experience: http://www.gourmetpie.co.uk/
He's doing a pretty good job, too. I bought some of his pies at a food event during August and they were all good, I plan to order some more as soon as the Christmas freezer is emptied at the end of the month.
How can so many people be so clever and so dumb at the same time?
If they spent more time considering the public (whom they claim to care about) instead of how much money they can make from "their" standard, then we would have had all of this years ago.
Well if you want to get the mobile market going you will either have to get Apple on board (I know people will hate me saying that), or get a credible rumour going that Apple will be putting the tech in the next iThings so that Samsung jam it into their devices as fast as they can.
Tiny bit cynical, I know.
Different phenomona
Norman Collier is when you have dropouts so that you miss words or parts of words.
Dalek is when the data rate drops for voice so you still hear all of the words, but the caller sounds like they are speaking through a "dalek" voice changing microphone.
Record a voice and then encode it with successfully lower bitrates to hear the effect for yourself (you'll probably need to start at something like 80k and work down).
Or just keep it inside one of the readily available card carriers that block the reader when you're not using it.
Search for "RFID blocking" on eBay and there are lots of options from complete card wallets to things that you can put in your existing card carrier.
In reality, "New security measure" != "100% effective" does not mean that "Old security measure" > "New security measure".
Seatbelts don't prevent all injuries, but for real world examples they are generally better than no seatbelt.
>It sounds like an Apple thing
Yeah, but it looks like it was CPW that messed up. Apple ships all phones unlocked, but some of them are pre-registered to be network locked as they're supposed to be sold under contract.
They're not locked to a specific network until you put a SIM in them, at which point the locking is triggered and they are tied to the network of that SIM.
CPW should either have not sold him that particular handset, or informed Apple (normally that's just done through the POS system) that the handset had been sold as SIM-free, he should probably take it up with CPW.
>I dunno, but can the 'tap to pay' merchant terminals in the UK be adapted to work with Apple Pay - or a Google NFC system?
Yes. Apple Pay is an implementation of the standard currently in use for these transactions.
Currently the primary limitation in the UK is that there's no way to load your card onto the phone because no banks have the systems in place to generate the tokens (yet).
If you have a supported US credit or debit card you can set your iPhone region to the US, which will enable the OS support, and then load your card into the phone. After that you can use it at any PayWave terminal, but (of course) you will have the currency conversion charges to pay on any transaction.
A few people around the world, not just the UK, have already tried and found everything works as you would like.
From what I have heard Visa and MasterCard are already working with the banks to bring the functionality to the UK next year.
There's an interesting article here if you want something more in-depth:
Yeah, and Samsung's latest figures aren't terribly inspiring.
Was it something like 90% drop in the last quarter's profits? That's going to sting a bit.
>Better option: Let's start an El-Reg party, and get some normal, intelligent, forward-thinking, incorruptible (I hope) people in power!
You're new here, aren't you?
iOS has Swype now too.
Keep up :*)
I must admit, my first thought was that Apple had done this deliberately in order to buy them at a discount, but I am also unable to think of a single instance where they had followed this approach before.
In fact, Apple have (so far) gone out of their way to avoid owning most of their own manufacturing capability, prefering to invest with existing companies to either improve their facilities or introduce a new capability and then have that investment be recouped as manufacturing discounts and/or guaranteed production levels.
Natually, anyone who wants to continue to believe that Apple are evil should ignore any developments in this story that do not support that supposition.
>The first iPhone didn't even have 3G, only wifi. So having a data plan was irrelevant.
The first iPhone had 2G (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) and was really only intended to be used on one network in the USA, even though it did make it to some networks outside of the US shortly before being replaced by the 3G version.
So having a data plan was not irrelevant, but it was essentally useless given the speed of the data.
I don't think it's just the providers.
My TV has a network interface and will connect to Netflix, so does my streaming box, my games console and my cable box and each one of them has a different interface for the same service.
If one provider can't even manage to standardize, there's no chance when you're working across multiples.
>That's exactly what I said, except for your pro-Apple spin.
My reading of your post was that it implied that Apple were lying. The iCloud servers were not breached, but individual accounts were hacked, pointing out the facts is not pro-Apple spin.
>Failure to enforce lockout after multiple failed login attempts is pathetic and there's no excuse for it.
Apple lock out accounts for eight hours after 12 failed attempts.
Apple's reset process invloves providing email address, date of birth and the answer to any one of a number of securty questions (e.g. The name of your first pet). Unfortunately for people in the public eye most of that information is likely to be easily available from a number of sources and like most people they wouldn't think of just making up an answer, so a quick trip to Google will almost certainly allow you to gain ilicit access to the account of pretty well anyone famous.
Is this Apple's /fault/? Debatable. There are more things they could do, but then there are already additional security features available for Apple accounts that do not appear to have been turned on in this case (e.g. if you have 2FA turned on, then the password reset process will also require you to go through that).
So we're back to square one, is it the fault of any company if users who do not use the security features provided then have their accounts breached?
No. It's the fault of the people who gained access, in the same way that if you forgot to lock your front door it's not your fault if someone steals your TV. What you did might have inadvertently made it easy for them, but make no mistake that the person at fault is the thief.

IoT Design Challenges for 2016: From Sensors to Software Security
May 9, 2pm EDT Monday
What are the engineering and design challenges in creating successful IoT devices? These devices are usually small, resource-constrained electronics designed to sense, collect, send, and/or interpret data. Some of the devices need to be smart enough to act upon data in real time, 24/7. Are the design challenges the same as with embedded systems, but with a little developer- and IT-skills added in? What do engineers need to know? Rick Merritt talks with two experts about the tools and best options for designing IoT devices in 2016. Specifically the guests will discuss sensors, security, and lessons from IoT deployments.

A hobbit, 13 dwarves, and a wizard ruled the weekend box office once again, but a secret agent grabbed just as many headlines.
Though "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" topped ticket sales, "Skyfall" made history by becoming the first film in the 007 series to cross the $1 billion mark. The previous record-holder for the franchise, "Casino Royale," earned $600 million, a measly sum by comparison.
Elsewhere, the "Lord of the Rings" prequel continued its hot streak, adding $32.9 million to its current domestic total of $222.7 million.
The two debuts from the holiday, "Les Miserables" and "Django," both performed admirably. The adaptation of the mega-musical sits at $67 million, while Quentin Tarantino's historical revenge fantasy has earned $64 million to date.
Head over to MTV News from your full box office breakdown.

Planet Green (ended 2008)
Using the pilgrims reference was probably an oversight. They could've remained in England to try to improve the country, fix the system, and put an end to poverty... But this is a bit easier said than done. The pilgrims themselves fled to the Americas, remember, to escape the rampant religious persecution, extreme class-stratification and iron-fisted rule imposed by the British Empire.
(And as an added twist of irony, the task of the original Minutemen was to keep the natives (the ORIGINAL owners of the land) out of the American colonies)Again, easier said than done. I do agree that the best way to solve matters is to work them through rather than fleeing the country, but thing's aren't great in Mexico, and I don't think it's fair to put that sort of blame on the desperation of people searching for money to help their families. There's an enormous gap between rich and poor, and the middle class (if any) is hanging by a thread.
|bbagnall wrote:
|From my own experiences in Mexico I know there are good areas in Mexico. Why not legally flee to more prosperous parts of Mexico rather than illegally fleeing to the USA?
This doesn't make much sense. If the country's poor, it's poor. Moving to a rich part of the country doesn't change the enormous stratification of the system, it just increases the amount of beggars. If there were enough jobs available in Mexico, ones that actually paid livable wages, there wouldn't be a problem. That's why mexicans are sneaking across the border in the first place: The U.S. have jobs available to them.
|bbagnall wrote:
|One of the protesters had a sign saying "Who is going to build your fence?" Well, if they are such good builders and hard workers, why did the buildings look so poor in Mexico?
Um, yeah... No offense, but that's a pretty dumb argument. The poor areas of Mexico look poor because... they're poor! It isn't a matter of ability or craftsmanship, it's a matter of upkeep and of access to materials... which the poor don't have.
Immigration is indeed a tricky issue in the United States, and illegal immigration is, yes, illegal. But when you get certain nuts who begin to claim that illegal immigrants are systematically destroying the nation, the issue mutates into what's essentially racism. Since 1990, the American unemployment rate has been fairly steady at 5%, which is pretty good proof on its own that the "crisis" is fairly overblown. I think the Minutemen do have good intentions, but that doesn't make them right. Building a wall is the most idiotic solution ever devised, one that doesn't work, and one that costs far much more money than the immigrants are assumed to be taking away from legal employees. All in all, the Statue of Liberty has a very clear message on its front.
... I don't know how to respond to that level of ignorance. Are you employed at the World Bank or something?
No wait, I do. It's hard for an upper or even middle-class person to understand poverty. With that said, however, I find it absolutely absurd for you to assume that poverty is all in the mind. You're actually implying that people starve to death by choice? By lack of perspective? By laziness? What is it?
Poverty IS a lack of access to resources. That's essentially the definition of poverty. I furthermore think it's pretty arrogant to argue that they just need to work harder to find wealth. That kind of reasoning is so distant from reality it's almost comical. Again: Easier said than done. Try working at a soup kitchen. Check out your local temp job agency. Hell, look at New Orleans: I suppose those people lost their homes post-Katrina because they weren't trying hard enough?
You're ignoring circumstance and assuming that these people somehow have the ability to overcome every problem they face. You can't get anymore jaded than that.
It isn't my intention to insult, but I can't even begin to fathom how you can claim that poverty is psychological.

|One thing I don't understand and I am not judging the people for it is (for example the family on this episode who's annual income is only $15,000) why keep having more children and making it that much more difficult to survive?

I'am not so sure it's a religion thing sometimes it's a government thing from the view of these families...the lower the income and the more kids you have the more programs you might get over a family with a higher income and just as many kids (welfare, food stamps, free lunch programs, free if not low cost to health care). I know many people who are poor and have way too many kids and aren't the slightest big catholic these include Mexicans and other Latin Americans so just like in America, I think there are other reasons why this is happening.

Over the last three years of my life I have found myself high up in the mountains, soaring 1000's of feet above the ground with nothing but a one inch piece of webbing beneath my feet and a short rope connecting me to the line, I am flying. It is a place that so few humans ever experienced, a place that once I discovered it I spent the last years of my life seeking it time and time again. Now I bet you are wondering what I am talking about… this is highlining, a sport that is very near to my heart and has made me the person I am today. It is a sport that requires you to conquer your natural fear of heights and your human instinct to be on solid ground. Read More

My life is anything but stagnant and unchanging. Each day brings some new task to tackle or adventure to be had. I am a husband, a father of two girls (ages 3 and 10 months), an ultra-runner, a product developer/marketer by day and a wedding photographer on the weekends. My life can be a bit chaotic when juggling a schedule that generally starts with a 4am alarm clock and pre-dawn mountain trail run, on to photography client consultations and being a husband and father. Because no day seems to be the same and they tend only to get busier I have found it important to simplify my life as much as possible. One way in which I have found to do that my life is to simplify in my wardrobe. That doesn't mean I'm just a "two t-shirts kind of guy" either. What I have I love and I make sure that the clothes and footwear I keep are multi-use. Read More

A couple of years ago, I started to make changes in my lifestyle to improve my health. Whilst researching ways I could improve my diet, my sleep habits, my stress levels and my fitness, I came across a lot of information about barefooting. Everything I read clicked with me, despite being the opposite of what I had been told all my life. Adverts telling me shoes should 'feel like walking on air' and 'provide the arch support your feet need' suddenly looked ridiculous. Read More

After many days and miles wearing these shoes here is a little review.The original design for the Vivobarefoot Aqua came around in 2006. Then came the Aqua Lite's in 2011. After an online campaign from Vivobarefoot fans the Aqua II's were released this year. Disclaimer: Although I have been a fan of (and have bought) barefoot shoes for the last few years, these were sent to me free of charge. This in no way influenced my opinion. A pair of shoes is little compensation for the work that goes into making a video.Interestingly I probably would not have bought this style of shoe. It looked too 'smart casual' for my liking and I began my review expecting to dislike them. After 54 days of continuous wear I am totally sold on them. Read More

Five years ago I was managing a retail store that sold a popular brand of running shoes. I wore the arch support for heel pain and the thick-soled, heavy running shoe with "gel" cushion for extra shock absorbency. My back would fall asleep while working, and by the time I got home I'd have to lay on the floor with my legs up the wall. My feet normally felt tender or bruised. I slept in plantar fasciitis splints, and I sold the heck out of all that stuff. It's not that it didn't help momentarily, but if I wasn't wearing all of those things I was usually in pain. Read More

For a few years now I have be on a journey of decluttering. My garage was the obvious place to start; it had become a kit depository for the different sports and training that I did. The issue was not the variety of activities per se, it was more that the equipment, clothing and footwear for each of them had become so specialised there was little room for crossover. This proved to not only be expensive and a waste of resources, but it also required an entire garage to store it all in. As an example, I had three large Rhino tubs full of sport-specific footwear.

When I moved to Cornwall, from London, seven years ago, my wardrobe didn't fit. I'm a photographer, but also a fashion writer, which meant that historically the impractical nature of the clothing I would wear on a day to day basis was regularly overlooked. All that changed when I started documenting surfing, and clambering over the rocks in the blustery wind and pouring rain became physically impossible (not to mention dangerous) in six inch platform heels.

in response to Stefaan TopSame here! It looks as if the oldest notification triggers the date at which the calendar is opened.
Matthias Kurwig Oct 16, 2008 3:09 PM
in response to Stefaan TopI have the same problem. Did you by any chance find a solution?

in response to Stefaan TopI also have this issue. any chance you found a solution.
Jeff Shaw1 Nov 13, 2008 6:28 PM
in response to rudi76Same issue here. Very frustrating.
You'd think Apple would know how to make a functional calendar application.
hibiscusjlb Nov 17, 2008 3:04 AM
in response to Stefaan TopMy wife has a G4 Mac mini with Mac OS X 10.5.4. Since June 18th,
whenever she adds an event and closes iCal, the event is lost upon
iCal reopening.
If I invite her to an event and she receives my email invitation, she
clicks on the event and this opens her iCal, adds the event at the
proper date. She accepts my invitation and closes iCal. When she opens
it again, the event is there but it is not accepted (in grey) and the
notification menu shows the event to be accepted.
If she creates a new event, invites me and closes iCal, iCal forgets
about this new event. It appears no where. If I accept the event, she
receives the notification but there is no event on her calendar.
Solutions tried: trash ical.plist files, restore previous calendar
(many trials), restart the computer, repair the autorisations. Nothing
So I tried to create a new account on her computer under System
preferences/accounts. This account works OK with iCal. it accepts new
events and records them, it also accepts invitations and records
So, I think that the problem may be with some preference file or the
calendars themselves, (she uses only two calendars).
Thanks, Jean-Luc
Craig Temple Jan 5, 2009 1:24 PM
in response to Stefaan TopI've had this identical issue since mid-October 2008. After searching numerous times for the solution, I got fed up and did some serious digging.
Fortunately, I've figured out the solution:
Stuck with a notification that keeps coming back like the proverbial bad penny?
Step 1: Quit iCal
Step 2: Locate and delete the offending notification in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iCal/Incoming/
Step 3: Open iCal and sigh in relief as the notification is gone for good.
Hope that helps,
Robo24 Jan 12, 2009 11:05 AM
in response to Craig TempleI have been frustrated by this same issue and thanks to Craig, it is now resolved! Thanks again.
dsc.ng Feb 16, 2009 10:10 PM
in response to Stefaan TopThanks for the posted solution to this problem which I've had for some months.
I have since also worked out how I can replicate this problem consistently on my Mac. Each time I receive an invitation via e-mail (specifically from Lotus Notes, although I'm not certain the source of the invitation matters), but my iCal is not already launched, the mime attachments and .ics files persist in the relevant cache folder, causing the notifications to re-appear when I quit and re-launch iCal.
Perhaps others might like to test this out on their own setups and see if you too can consistently replicate the problem. That might help Apple work on a permanent, systemic fix to this issue.

On the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Invisible Pink Unicorns, et al., part 2 of 4
This segment of True Freethinker's essay which considers natural theology, or general revelation, will consider The Flying Spaghetti Monster.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster
That we are left to discuss the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Invisible Pink Unicorns is only indicative of the deleterious effect of the New Atheist movement whereby belittling and clever quips pass for reason and dealing with arguments as our opponents proposes them.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster and the Invisible Pink Unicorns are meant to be on a footing with theism and particularly the Judeo-Christian God. In part 4 we will consider whether the Judeo-Christian God passes natural theology's / general revelation's test. Let us see if the Flying Spaghetti Monster and Invisible Pink Unicorns do so.
In the first instance the shahadah may be stated as: "There is no god but the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and Bobby Henderson (pbuh) is his messenger." The Flying Spaghetti Monster's adherent are known as "pastafarians." The Flying Spaghetti Monster first revealed his presence in 2005 AD to Bobby Henderson who stated,
I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel_
He is of course invisible and can pass through normal matter with ease an artistic drawing of Him creating a mountain, trees, and a midget.
Firstly, we should point out that, as per New Atheist "reasoning," the primary point to make is that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is not a real alternative at all because it raises an even bigger problem than it solves namely: who spaghettied the spaghetti? We may likewise ask: who amassed the meatballs?
Since we cannot answer these questions the Spaghettied One does not answer anything.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster has a physical body and thus, is not immaterial nor spirit: it has extension in space is therefore limited by spatial dimensions and restricted by locality and thus, is not omnipresent. One adherent of the cult of the Flying Spaghetti Monster made specific reference to its "noodly appendage."
This parody of "The Creation of Adam" is interesting in that it brings to mind the original. In the original God is depicted as a Kenny Rogers looking man (after the facelift); a concept which is certainly not in the least bit biblical. However, I have discerned much truth in the painting which I expressed in my essay The Creation of Adam.
Since the Flying Spaghetti Monster is physical it is subject to the absorption and deflection of light particles and is therefore visible and particularly hued. Bobby Henderson did claim that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is "invisible and can pass through normal matter" and so either Bobby Henderson is a false prophet or the Flying Spaghetti Monster knows how to traverse dimensions.
Since the Flying Spaghetti Monster's physical body consists of spaghetti and meatballs the constituents of the godhead are as follows: eggs, salt and pepper, flour, water, beef and or pork, basil, parsley, mushrooms, bread crumbs, oil, etc.
Since these physical entities must have, by necessity, preexisted the Flying Spaghetti Monster it cannot be the uncaused first cause. Moreover, the constituents of spaghetti and meatballs must have been amassed by an Intelligent Chef who not only had access to various physical ingredients and knew how to put them together just right, fine tuned them, but utilized cookware and some form of energy with which to cook the ingredients.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster is made of the very materials which it is alleged to have created. It could not have created itself since it would have to have been in order to have created itself.
Since the Flying Spaghetti Monster is composed of various complex parts that were merged it had a beginning.
Since it is physical it is not immaterial.
Since it had a beginning it had a cause.
Since it had a beginning it is not eternal.
It experiences time and is not eternal.
It is limited by space. This is true even if it can pass though matter since it has to "pass through" it in order to make its way to another location. Therefore, it is not omnipresent.
Since it is composed of material objects it is not a contingent being.
The Flying Spaghetti Monster does not pass the test of natural theology.

The end of the world came even closer, as a careless move of a German became a bad omen, according to the Mayan prophecies.
During photography session in a studio in Germany a skull made of volcanic rock, which once belonged to the head of the SS Heinrich Himmler, fell out of the hands of a production assistant.
According to the legend surrounding the eschatological prophecy of the Maya, the Nazis stole the skull from Tibet. Carved from volcanic stone, it was believed to contain magical powers and able to get humanity to survive the Apocalypse of December 21, 2012.
The crystal skull does not exist anymore and is disintegrated into small pieces. For some people it is a real disaster and a sign for the upcoming end of the world.
The Mayan skull belonged to historian Thomas Ritter, who had received it from the family of a British soldier present at Himmler's arrest in 1945. However, the historian reassured the world saying that the accident will not "make gods angry" and the Earth will continue to spin after 21 December.
The skull was 1000 years old and was one of 13 Mayan crystal skulls. Nine of them were depicted with color and represented races of people. The other four did not have color and symbolized "the beasts that walk, crawl, slide and fly".
