It is not the window manager that decides where the menu goes. If you haven't noticed, apple did write a great rootles window manager to make window decorations fit in with aqua. The problem is that the application, or its GUI libraries, decide what should be inside the window. Getting GNOME or KDE apps to blend in would require a major port of the underlying libraries, and apple hasn't bothered to do that yet. There really aren't many good toolkits that support drastically different look-and-feel modes. GNUStep is one of the few toolkits that can easily be switched from one menu style to another, and it currently does a bad job of integrating with other Linux desktops.
I would think that any macros would be done with a scripting language. Also, I find it extremely hard to believe that MS would replace VBA with something as powerful as C++. It just isn't going to happen, and especially not on a mac, where objc would be prefered anyways.
I think you have underestimated how much of a productivity boon Automator can be. It is not really tied in with any office-type apps, but it is an alternative to xcode for end users.
So apparently Apple has every reason to make iWork '07 a "no holds barred" release. I expect to see a powerful spreadsheet app and probably some nifty database or drawing thing to make Access or Visio, respectively, look clunky. Given how well Apple handled the transition from IE to Safari, they certainly have a good contingency plan for the gutting/cancelation of Office.
I think I had deja vu at least as often in my early childhood as I do now. I know that deja vu was a common thing for me as early as five or six, and the frequency may have even gone down over the years.
From what you quote, it looks like this guy gets arrested every couple of years, but has only been convicted twice. I wouldn't tempt him by giving him administrative access to any computers. I would probably be willing to hire him as a cashier, but only if I had a surveillance system. As other posters have said, all other things being equal, the ex-con does not get hired and the good citizen (or good crook) does get the job.
I think the "heart-string pulling crap" serves to show that the RIAA is willing to sue anybody at all, regardless of whether there is reason. This specific incident shows a new tactic in the RIAA campaign to extort money from the public at large, ie. blatantly lying about the presence of evidence, SCO style. What is worse, the tactic worked well enough to fool the judge into dismissing a motion by the defendant.
It sounds to me like he just wants to abolish the concept of an integral domain. Zero divisors are permissible in fields (though obviously not reals) but not in an integral domain. One does have to wonder if this guy has even heard of Herstein.

Myst 4 came on 2 DVDs, but it was a pre-rendered and extremely detailed world. In my opinion, it was worth it, but for a game that is not prerendered, 9GB seems pretty bloated.
Okay, I'll bite. Are you saying that the UN is a for-profit organization, or that it is tied to a religious organization? It seems pretty clear that it is an international organization, or at least not a US puppet.
... Right now you are undoubtedly using a multitasking operating system, meaning that you can run more than one process at once. It is really non-obvious that such a thing is even possible, let alone can be done efficiently.
As others have stated, the idea of multitasking or multithreading is obvious and stems from a desire to use computer time more efficiently. From there, it is not a problem of whether it is possible to implement. The only challenge it to design the system such that multitasking software can be written for it.
For those of you who don't know how it is done (and I bet even on Slashdot, most people do not), how would you overcome this problem? How are you going to make sure that once the kernel gives a time slice to an application, the application will give it back?
Obviously, a timer can be used to suspend the current task and return control to the kernel. The CPU only needs to know how long to let the current task run and where to jump to when the time is up.
How are you going to make sure the application doesn't corrupt the location in memory the kernel resides on?
Give the CPU a table of which regions of memory are read-only when it is not in supivisor mode. There are dozens of obvious ways to implement such a table.
I think that many of the advances in computer science are obvious advances. The field has developed in a relatively short timespan, and at a quick pace. But when you look closely, most of the progress is just standardization on ways of doing things. Once the idea of a struct is widespread, it is inevitable that somebody will want to bundle common operations with the struct. Hence, OOP. Deciding on the proper terminology, syntax, and metaphors is the hard part, but that can't be patented.
I haven't exactly been hunting for it, but I have yet to hear of somebody getting bored with the wii. So far, nobody seems to have the muscles to play that long. I think we will see novel ways of using the wiimote keep showing up for several years.
Arthritis does not affect all joints equally. Different forms can have different symptoms. Depending on what type he has, the wii could be impossible to use, or painless.
If I still have cell reception, it means that I'm still driving to my destination. Most of my vacation spots are only accessible by helicopter or a day of hiking/pedaling/paddling/etc. I've even "camped" under a mountain an hour's crawl away from daylight.
Apple doesn't sell "the complete OS X product in a box." They only sell it as an upgrade to a previous Mac OS that came preinstalled on an Apple computers. Apple's restrictions are no worse than the way upgrade versions of windows require you to have a previous version of windows. I wish I could buy a pc version of OS X, but I don't deny Apple the right to not offer such a product.
Anyone in the HyperTransport consortium could produce such a device. They might not be able to use AMD's sockets, but there is already the HTX slot for this stuff. Take a look at the membership list for the consortium.
School districts (in the south) go out of their way to integrate schools. They don't want any school to have really low average performance. White suburban kids are bussed in to the city, and black inner city kids are bussed an hour out of town, all to balance the test scores.
Within individual schools, though, there can be very overt segregation between the classes. And local governments almost always have some racists in powerful positions.

Do you remember the MacWorld where Bungie demoed Halo? Look how well that turned out for Apple.

The mac firmware can be hacked to enable hibernation, even on the intel desktops.

What country are you in? Surely not the US. That logic would never hold up in court.

#2 and #5 show Link as a lefty. On the wii, the game was mirrored to fit with the majority of people being right-handed.
Also, does anyone know if the game can be reverted to a left-handed Link? I'm left-handed myself.
I'm not sure it will work out. It seems that this arithmetic would make L'Hopital's rule impossible - you would always get nullity.

Remember Magellan? I would love to have software that good come out of Lotus again.

I'd settle for a 286.

You can have it in any color, so long as it's black.
