OK. Say I print out the kernel in hex or ASCII or something. Then I take that paper, roll it up into about 800 terribly sharp paper cones. And stab you, your family, your friends, and your friends' family with those cones.
This obviously is not what the kernel was intended for. So the question is, do we have an addendum to the license that restricts paper users, or the paper companies?
1) Couldn't you have a script to install or HUP and restart any services you need to? Making hard things easy is what Apple is about.
2) Why couldn't a blog be Aqua compliant?
3) Again, why couldn't an actual blog-creation app make use of Help, Drag-n-drop, or Quicktime? ATSUI? What if you want to blog in Japan?
4) How many people blog? Why don't most average joes blog? Because its currently limited to digerati, or bleeding edge folk. If you made it as easy to blog as email, or let people know it's easy, that would be innovative.
That you don't think a blog app could be innovative would keep you out of the running. I agree with you on that point.
It's my understanding that the money allocated will be able to be used in perpetuity, as much of the funding comes from interest on the initial lump sum.

Wow. Throw out everything I constantly hear from winlots about "Macs don't have enough apps" and from linux zealots that "good apps come from coders scratching an itch." It's been a week, folks. Get some perspective.
I guess if it's a mac, and looks purty, it will be ignored, dismissed, derided, criticised, then copied poorly. Rinse, lather, repeat.
One issue I had recently with Win2K is my 1 year old smacked the keyboard, inadvertently invoking some obscure "assistive" key combo.
HOW THE FRIC DO I TURN IT OFF???!!! I NO LONGER HAVE THE USE OF MY "U" KEY!!!
But I eventually figured it out, by channeling my child's brain: "what hand do I favor? Where would I smash it if I saw the keyboard? Would I have a follow-on smash?"
Yes, now it works. Hail to the reptilian brain! I can use the second person in emails again!
Exactly. This is called a "safe harbor" statement, and includes all risks to the business, as a warning to potential investors.
Safe harbor statements are in almost all filings of publicly traded companies, and mitigate losses in the case of shareholder lawsuits.
Safe harbor statements also appear often in business wire releases at the bottom of announcements (e.g. "Investors are advised that this analysis is issued solely for informational purposes and is not to be construed as an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy...yadda yadda).
And maybe this should be a warning to those companies that want to accommodate DRM into their products: you will marginalize your widget. I'm sure Jack Valenti preferred beta to VHS.

And Darwin's concept was done a great injustice by bandying about the phrase "survival of the fittest," when it should have been merely, "survival of the fit."
If you find a niche, it doesn't matter that there are successful predators out there that eat you, you merely must reproduce, faster than they can, and faster than they can eat.
In the case of the mac (which is what we're really talking about here, huh? VHS vs. Betamax! Pshaw! THoS EaR COdE WeRdZ!), Apple just has to watch Dell, HP, Compaq (oops!) et al figure out who's the Alpha Male of the dinosaur VARs, and let them gobble each other up. See http://www.mammals.org.
I was wondering something like this myself. If I have bought the album previously, but have since college lost the vinyl or cassette, and I download a song from the album someplace, am I doing something wrong?
If I originally bought the album on vinyl, but download a copy from a ripped CD, am I doing something wrong? Haven't I bought the right to have the song? Any reason I should be paying twice for the same songs? If it was a remastered CD, but I didn't know it, could I go to jail? What if it sounded almost the same?
If you can determine the gestalt ID of the machine you want to emulate, you can use MachID Wannabe to trick the machine into thinking it can install a particular OS.

IANAL, so tell me which is best.
Your ideas are interesting, but strange... and different. Therefore, we must reject them.
Well, think about this: has Pixar lost focus? Has Apple lost focus since 97?
I think Jobs is the man with the plan.
Qwitcherbitchin' about proprietary hardware. Shouldn't have bought proprietary *software* then, huh?
Or do what Apple did and compromise ubiquitous hardware compatibility with stability, security, and usability.
I say, take the 2K plunge, and get your work done with no hassles for at least the next four or five years.
Like the Sally Strothers/Starving Ethiopian kids ads say, that's less than a cup of coffee a day, and half of a Starbucks grande a day.
But project that doubling into the future.
Even with a slight edge, Apache wins the exponential progression game in sheer numbers.
Here's a little table:
Year Apache MS
1 22 9
2 44 18
3 88 36
4 176 72
5 352 144
And then if we keep going...
6 704 288
7 1408 576
8 2816 1152
9 5632 2304
So obviously, Apache wins China and India, MS gets the rest of the world.

Perhaps people tend to walk counter-clockwise because the large majority of people are right-handed, and lead to the favored side.
Are you left-handed, by any chance?

That would be the "recycle bin." Trash goes to the landfill. Coke bottles go to make your 49.95 Crate and Barrel wine glasses imported from Guatemala.

How about:
declare bankruptcy (everyone else is anyway. You have lawyers, right?)
close up the offices, relatively safe from contractual obligations
Buy your own servers and storage at auction
Open up Saloon.com, or Lounge.com, or something
Have people telecommute
That should cover it.

The bondi iMac came out in August of 1998. So that puts it at 4.5 years ago.

If you win, they may want to hire you. If they hire you, and you've looked at Mono dev tools and code, your mind poisons MS product.

Isn't that like saying we ought to produce a nuclear submarine that you get in a box of cracker jacks?
