My roommate's girlfriend has a.mil account. She's a CS student who's had a summer internship at a base for a few years. It's a little unsettling sending her jokes or whatever and getting a response from a.mil address.
Installing classic is as dangerous as installing any Mach app. There's no way to expect them to have made Classic any more secure (contrary to your aside about memory protection).
I'm comfortable installing Classic, just not using IE. Besides, OmniWeb is better in every way.
Second, you're just wrong. Classic is a Mach process, just like bash or OmniWeb. That's the point. All of the old (non-protected) apps run in a virual machine. They can screw each other up just like they always could. They can't harm anything outside of the Classic environment. So a binary can't scribble over the FS drivers in OS X. And memory protection is there. Every Mach process gets full VM and memory protection. Installing Classic doesn't make your machine instantly unstable. I'm just not sure where you get the "your data is unsafe in OS X" bit.
Bork was nominated, and we're talking about people that presidents nominate.
I think it's a pretty darned good system. It's unfortunate that not all presidents get to make appointments, but the lifetime terms far outweighs the negative aspects of such.
Huh? I think your "read into things" beam is set too high.
I was just pointing out that justices typically reflect the ideologies of those who appoint them. (Bush -> Bork, Thomas = Conservative. Clinton -> Ginsburg = Liberal.) I made no judgmental statement about what was a travesty (mind your proportion, btw.) Neither did I say that partisan appointments were a bad thing. That's what the Constitution intends (roughly). It's a check/balance on the judiciary.
It's not a matter of being corrupt, it's a matter of presidents getting to put their own picks in. Compare Bork and Thomas (Scalia, etc.) to Ginsberg (Ginsburg?), etc. One exception (to which you allude) is Sandra Day O'Conner. She was appointed by Reagan, but turned out to be a pretty solid liberal. That's the exception, rather than the rule. Compare the Warren/Berger courts. It's typically pretty predictable.
For a few years now, Apple has been using what it calls the "NewWorld" ROM in RAM system. (The ROM is contained in a file that the system can use, and the user can upgrade.)
Maybe, but I used InDesign first on a PC. Then I moved to a Mac, and it was much more fluid and natural. Other programs (Word, some 3D apps) seem more at home on a PC or UNIX. (i.e., telnet on Macs -- though I used it there first -- is awkward and awful.)

That's just awful. Stereotypical, rude, etc. There are plenty of black geeks.
Were you deliberately making fun of the hostname feature? If so, you did it well. If not, it sucks. =)
Hrmm...www.nic.int asks for a password -- you can't even get information on it in the traditional way =)

Uhhh...that's barely a hiccup away from having their own network.
What's the fuss? If they want a network and can justify that they need a network, let them have a network!

OW 3.0 is slow as crap on my turbo cube, but 4.0 is quite peppy on my PB G3 (500MHz). Get 10.1 -- it makes things move like a snap.
Wow. First of all, unclench.

The MAC is an aspect of your network card. A Mac is a computer.
Uh, that a subunit of Microsoft does something does not mean that Microsoft has not done the thing.
Best damned browser in the world.
Ooooh...I hope X-10 doesn't see your post. They don't actually sell web cameras, they sell wireless cameras. (All NTSC, no computer)
It seems like it didn't even work as well as you're giving them credit for =)

You don't think it'll just be declined and sent back to you?
The Village People are in jail?
I think I got junk mail about something like that...
Good news. DCMA next?
Watch out! Black helicopters at 4:00!
Lighten up -- smile! =)

Okay -- bad example. How about "Jurassic Park"?
I can buy a copy of "Moby Dick" and change the ending if I want. I can cross out whole chapters. I can't sell it afterward.
