..now we'll need to a new product to speculate about every other day!

Sunday he wins the Masters Golf Tournament and already they are naming an OS release in his honor after him!
The complacency of the last five years is over.
;)
Now on with the complacency of the next five years!
Enjoy your wait for Longhorn, the exclusive platform of Duke Nukem Forever.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
from the forward-down-forward/down-punch dept.
Heh. Version 10.4.1 should be called Tiger Uppercut.
Anyone have any reviews for Tiger on any hardware platform?
Sure thing. Here you go:
It's total shit on the Athlon XP 2500+. You can't even get it to boot up. Less functionality than either Linux or Windows.
I hear it works much better on other platforms, specifically Apple-built PPC systems, but you will have to look at other reviews for that information.

I'd totally making the switch if it was named "Liger." It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
Where does he say he runs Windows? ;)
What else could he be running? The last guy that actually ran Linux left Slashdot about 600,000 user ID's ago!
A notification has been sent to the BSA that one Michael Brinkman of Hudson, MI is a known software pirate. Thank you for your honesty in helping to crush software piracy everywhere.
Did you even try Intel? I hate AMD-fanboys on Slashdot.
Now on with the complacency of the next five years!
That sounds too much like work. I think I'll just keep the old complacency.
APPLESCRIPT IS A NIGHMARE!!! I wish they would dump it for a usable OSS language like perl or python.
If only there were a way to run Perl or Python on OS X...
Dashboard Keyboard Activation Preference
Easily change the default key that activates the Dashboard.
HOLY SHIT!
Apple is lightyears ahead in the preferences industry!
Who do I give my credit card number to?!?
So...when I go to a library Mac and launch Safari and browse my bank account...how do I know it really is Safari?
I would tell you, but how do I know you're really harlows_monkeys?

As if to add insult to injury, Steve Jobs has apparently dealt with this inevitable delay by ordering that the BSD-underpinnings of the operating system be stripped out and replaced with GNU or Unix code, citing an internal study that shows BSD developers in complete disarray, with usage - based upon Usenet postings - showing a definite decline in BSD support. Perhaps if Apple ported Mac OS X to Intel, they wouldn't be suffering these problems.
On an unrelated note, I've just heard on Talk Radio that the famed computer hacker Stephen Wozniak has died, aged 54. Whether you enjoyed his Integer BASIC interpreter, you can't deny his contribution to modern computing. Truly an American icon.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
