OS X running on Intel will not have any impact on Linux whatsoever. For those of you who are waiting to boot OS X on your stock PC from Dell or so... don't hold your breath.
Apple is not in the business of selling you OS X or their other apps. They sell hardware and use their (arguably great) software to give you a reason to buy their stuff. Why would they let you run OS X on a machine you haven't bought from them?
Secondly, the eWeek article is written by an idiot. I don't know the speed of the binary translation layer in OS X on Intel (Rosetta), but I do know that virtualization software has nothing to do with it.
I don't see ENTIRE in your quote, so it doesn't really support your arguement. It could easily mean that by 2007 they expect all of the available Mac software to run both on the G5 and Intel. And of course, they will gladly sell you both.
Thanks for the link! I like my irony best when it is so conflicting that my brain just shuts down. Bush singing the lyrics of Imagine. Does. Not. Compute.
init automagically relaunches programs when they terminate. Notice how the login prompt appears, when you log out on a console. That's init right there. If you'd do that in a rc-script, you'd have to implement this functionality yourself. Some scripts do, e.g. kdm (or gdm, xdm,...) on Debian, IIRC.
I've edited the system inittab on a couple a machines. Things like changing the reaction on CTRL-ALT-DEL (an inittab configuration item) or starting gettys on ttyS* (with different command line arguments than the defaults). Granted, it doesn't happen very often, but it happens.
I would say, that there is greater chance to damage Tiger's/etc/rc, than/etc/inittab in SysV Unices or Linux
Drawer on the right and also by default hidden. That was the cool thing about Mail.app in Panther, when you start dragging a mail, the drawer automagically opens und you can drop the mail into a folder. Which works with Mail.app 2 as well, but when the folders appear the mail window shrinks, d'uh! That seriously sucks.
On the other hand I set up a couple of smart folders, like unread, new from today, new from this week and so on. So I'm using the folders much more.
I guess, i actually miss mutt. Now that was a great mail program. Ah, the times.
Also the white space on the top right. Two fixed spaces. What a hack!
His claim is that with regular film you have to learn how to take a picture and get it right the first time, whereas with digital you get instant feedback and can therefore afford to be sloppy.
You can learn the same thing with digital with less costs (no more rolls to develop) and less time (instant feedback on experimentation).
How can I learn to use the lighting for example of a particular moment or catch a special mood when by the time I get my results the moment is gone? With digital I can try and tweak until I get it right. With analog I wait three days to get the film developed only to realize at once what I could have done better. Not a good learning environment.
I know all the stuff about exposure, composition and framing, but the tricky part is to apply the knowledge to a given situation. You can only learn that through experience and digital can greatly speed that process up.
Will an analog camera ever give me instant feedback on what I just shot? I think not. (Polaroids aside.)
I mainly shoot analog, simply because I do not yet own a digital camera. I can't wait do buy one though, simply because of the great learning effect instant feedback can provide. Certainly there are some things that digital will never be able to do (cross-processing and other lab tricks come to mind), although with Photoshop you can emulate a lot. And I'll definately won't stop shooting film, because nothing beats presenting slides on a huge screen. Still, digital has many uses and arguing about its trueness is really, well, stupid.
The right tool for the job, I say.
PS: What's more natural about a chemical reaction of some silver-oxides to light than the photoelectric effect that CCDs utilize? It's all physics and/or chemistry, nothing unnatural about it.
PPS: Thinking about it, is there anything that you can't do in Photoshop that you can do when shooting analog? Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Now, that's ambitious.
This is not a troll. I've never laughed more on slashdot.
I mean, yes.
I agree. Reading Perl code is harder than reading Assembly!

BTW, launchd does that for you, too. Go Apple!

Based on what experience?
I think John Lennon said it best:
You might want to read John Perkins' Confessions of an Economic Hit Man .
I'd like a textual transcript, too. Much easier to digest, at least for me.

Yes, it definitaly got beaten with an ugly stick.
Also, am I the only one who actually liked the mailbox drawer in Panther?
My preferred form for making modifications would be CDs made out of gold. Actually, I'd like to have one CD for each source file.
Plus, I'm not a consumer. I am a citizen, and I'm damned tired of being thought of as a consumer.
Damn straight! I wish I could mod you up, but since I've already posted, I can't.
He unconditionally agreed with RMS, which made him liable for the views in the article.
WTF? How you can read an unconditional agreement from his simple statement is beyond me.

iptables-save to save a ruleset.
:P
iptables-load(*) to load a ruleset.
* not sure about the name, though. i dropped linux on my ibook in favor of os x a couple of months ago.
Spotlight, Dashboard, Quicktime 7, H.264, CoreImage, CoreData, X Code 2, ... are hardly "tweaks." The list goes on and on.
Won't option-click open the PDF in a new tab in Safari? Also, could you check if this is configurable? Thanks

You mean like with the adobe plugin on windows? Oh no! I actually like the way PDF files from the internet open in Preview and not in Safari.
