Not when we're talking about user acceptance; they aren't accepting a *BSD; they're accepting a new version of MacOS. Apple could rip out the BSD underpinnings and replace them with Linux or pretty much any other modern Unix and the vast majority of the users wouldn't notice or care.
That's also pretty typical of your average RedHat user. Therefore your arbitrary cutoff means you can't count a large portion of Linux user acceptance.
What if there is only one gym within 100 miles? What if all gyms have the same type of contract? Is there a choice?
Irrelevant. The gym is a private business. Unless there is a law (and there isn't) it'll stay that way.
The local grocery store doesn't sell non non-fat Breyer's French Vanilla ice-cream[0]. In fact, there isn't a grocery store within 50 miles of me that does. That doesn't give me the right to force them to sell what I want so I have a choice.
[0] - Damnit, there are just somethings that shouldn't be non-fat.
The installation is easy. People who beg for ISO's are too lazy (or stupid) to do a simple: dd if=floppy32.fs of=/dev/rfd0c bs=32k (or fdimage -q floppy32.fs a:) to make a bootable floppy.
Seriously, that fact that ISOs aren't available really helps to cut down on all the newbies posting to OpenBSD forums who need their hand held through everything.
I think the XBox video system is similar in fill rates to a Gforce 4 MX, but has better AA.
The X-Box doesn't have better anti-aliasing. You probably need to hit the TV on the side or something. Also, check your cables and make sure they are pushed in all the way.
Now, a bottle of Sterling Tanqueray will give you really good anti-aliasing, it just might not be limited to just games on your TV...
If your grandma wants to use sloppy cursor control then chances are she won't need it explained to her. Sloppy cursor control would be an option. I don't think anyone ever suggested it be on by default...
Anyway, this type of prediction is already done in the interface too so you can still hit submenus easily. It's not something new.
But if moving your mouse to the menue bar always triggers you to go back to the finder on the way there, how the hell do you find out what the command keys for any specific program are, much less use the functions that don't have command keys?
Actually, the whole jumping back to the Finder could probably be moot. The algorithm should look at where the cursor is going. If it's moving rapidly towards the top of the screen then don't change the menu bar. If the mouse isn't moving in the general direction to the top of the screen or has since slowed down from heading to the top of the screen then change the focus as necessary.
If window focus followed the mouse it would be impossible to use menu commands on window selections; the commands would disappear as soon as you moved the mouse out of the window.
Frankly, I could care less about the menu items myself. Losing that is only small loss of functionality that sloppy cursor control has. You can still enter text in windows in the background and manipulate the widgets on that window. You can still hit key commands that correspond to menu items...
Sloppy cursor controll will eventully make it into Mac OS X. It's just not clear whether Apple is going to do it or a 3rd party is going to write a hack for it.
Well, since this is crypto related, I think an even better way would be to use the PGP Timestamping Service.
It has several different modes, but basically you just encrypt your ideas, send an email to the timestamper with the encrypted files and it will sign the file, and the signature will contain a timestamp and a serial number.
The signatures are available on a daily basis and are posted weekly at alt.security.pgp for all the world to see.
Well, XML is bloated and binary formats suck because they aren't human parseable. Why not use HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format version 5). It can even gzip files on the fly to save even more on storage. Perhaps it might be a bit overkill for a tiny little configuration file, but it does have everything you want.:-)
Linux developers have came up with alot of cool stuff. Like highlighting the text to copy then just middle clicking to paste. Of course you can do this on bsd or anything that runs X but its still cool.
I think you mean "XFree86 Developers" and not Linux developers. XFree86 runs on many kernels, not just Linux. The functionality they developed was not specific to Linux, it was specific to XFree86.
Linux is completely customizable, you can change everything about the desktop, kde and gnome are very flexable.
I don't mean to nitpick, but once again, you're mixing the names up. The desktop customizability is a function of XFree86 and whatever desktop manager you use, not Linux (which I'll reiterate, is a kernel).
Well, the dubbed version had to have been better than the subtitled version. They chose to do the subtitling in white, which means several scenes were completely illegible due to white text on a white background.
Here are the differences...

NetBSD 1.6 Released
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
I was just wondering, what's the difference between OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD?
"What's the difference?" doesn't count as a specific question.
FreeBSD has tcsh installed as/bin/csh. OpenBSD and NetBSD don't. NetBSD runs on a Cobalt Qube2. OpenBSD and FreeBSD don't. OpenBSD can encrypt swap. NetBSD and FreeBSD don't.
I hope that explains the differences you were interested in.
First off, the single user is $129. That's just blatent laziness on your part.
Secondly, don't let the version numbers fool you. This isn't just a feature upgrade like going from 8.5 to 8.6 was. This is more like switching from 8.5 to 9. 10.2 is a signifigant upgrade from 10.1.5.
Thirdly, you're an idiot (or a troll). Where has something broken that forced you to upgrade from 10.1.5 to 10.2? That's just nonsense that you've been forced to upgrade to 10.2. These compatibility problems are just third party software makers having to make some changes so that their software works with 10.2. Having software (especially drivers like the one listed in this article) break between major OS version is perfectly acceptable and expected.

Recent trend? Heh. I'll remind you that this is a technology thread and Mac OS X was released almost two years ago. For technology, that isn't recent.
Also, there is nothing "semi-emulated" about BSD on Mac OS X. Mac OS X is BSD. It's that simple.
Irrelevant - Mac OS X is still a *BSD and should be counted as such.
Incorrect. Mac OS X counts as a BSD and it thoroughly has GNU/Linux whipped when it comes to user acceptance.
While it's not advertised I've heard that most Apple stores will already do this for you if you ask.
Irrelevant. The gym is a private business. Unless there is a law (and there isn't) it'll stay that way.

Yup, and if OS 9.2.2 ever gets too fast for you, just remember to hold down the mouse button and it will stop and let you catch up.

Perhaps you should check again? 3COM makes a rather nice PCI Fiber NIC, it apparently even does onboard IPSec.

TedU recently posted in comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc the answer to this question:
Ah yes! Damn thee the to hell, Xnu[0]! I can no longer press the mouse button to pause the operating system...
[0]- Xnu is the name of the new kernel.
ObJoke about the 'typical' rush-hour driver not caring the slightest about anyone behind them when they change lanes...
To the poster: just swap out your driver right now with somebody from LA or DC and then you can just save yourself some money.
Kernel junkies and real power users will want to just patch the kernel to boot up verbosely. Grab the force verbose patch here. :-)
