Remember that this is how Linux got started in the first place.
Yeah, I remember. Linus was looking at his Nintendo for days, trying to figure out how to make it do something useful. Then he remembered: games like Athena and The Legend of Zelda had a some battery-backed RAM in the cartridge. He knew that the NES used a similar chip to the one in his IIGS, but because Nintendo wasn't letting him use such software as Music Construction Set and FredWriter, he was getting ripped off.
Actually, I don't remember at all. Linus had access to a computer and a rough guide to POSIX.1 (IIRC). He didn't have to deal with hardware that was specifically designed to stop him from running his own software on it like the XBOX is.
Give me thirty seconds with an application and I'll tell you it it's Cocoa or Carbon. Carbon truly is fugly. Truly you are comparing Orcs (Carbon) to Elves (Cocoa).
So we should force bitmapped fonts to live in small, inefficient agricultural communities, or else we send them to Siberia? Or perhaps we should kidnap some Japanese people and force them to write a decent rendering engine!
Bullshit. Carbon is a hack from days gone by. It's faster than Cocoa the same way a MS-DOS program is faster than a Windows program. You trade features, but more importantly, ease of development for a little speed here and there.
Besides, Carbon is ugly-looking, doesn't work right, and obfuscated. As well as obsolete.
I pity the fool who codes in Carbon in this day and age. The only reason to do so is to port a legacy application to OS X.
Sun is a truly misguided and confusing tamale. Spicy beef in the middle, and covered in red sauce.
Seriously, the misguided and confusing stances that they take on almost everything nowadays makes me wonder about the future of Sun. They hate Linux, they embrace it, they puss out again on it, they like Intel, now they don't!
It's really quite strance to see a business commit suicide by mass corporate confusion.
Each time Big Tony drops to his knees to give Bush more head, the British public gets quite a bit more pissed off at him.
Maybe the US, Britain, Austrailia, and Japan are all on our side for the Whopper that might be coming up here. World War III isn't an utter impossibility, what with China and Russia and Europe against us. Our allies that have more than 10,000 troops in their forces can be counted on your hands.
I'm sorry, but we have kids to feed all over this country. We have NO MONEY for other countries. Foreign aid is almost always used as a bribe. We are bribing the very rich (95% of the time) for access to community property (forests, oil, coal, etc) while the very rich here and there get richer. Or, in Israel's case, to support their Nazi-esque extermination of the Palestinians. Or, in Russia's case, to try to keep at least some of their nukes under their control.
If there was ANY accountability in America, the free cash pony ride would stop. Maybe donate cash to Zimbabwe - they seem to need it seeing as how the IMF wants their food aid to pay their cash debts, despite there being a famine because of a virtual halt of modern agriculture (because of the land reclaimation there).
Asking for bribery (say that however you like - campaign contributions, pork barrel projects, aid, contracts that never seem to go anywhere yet never get cancelled either) to stop being involved in politics is like calling for an end to the color blue, though. We need laws that are harshly enforced to stop it. I like 'betraying the public trust'. Kind of like treason for public officials.
Those 'embedded' journalists are most often members of the military, and last time I checked orders come before journalistic integrity if you are a soldier. At least until after the fact.
Google news and Columbia Newsblaster are probably the best places to check first. A wide array of news available from those two links (probably the best on the web) so you could go NUTS with the news reading.
I disagree. I think that Services is more like the pipe, but for GUI land. Web services is just a name for stuff that has been going on for a long time over the network. The name 'Web Services' refers to services that run over ftp or rsync, for example, making the term innacurate.
Anyway, the Services menu is the shit. Mine has like 30 entries. Translation, anybody (or ROT13)? Text to speech of a long article while I'm cooking?
I can only imagine how badly Microsoft will fuck this concept up once they decide to copy it.
The same could be said about Avation! Why do they want to fly? It's just a rich gentleman's sport, nothing useful ever gets done by airplanes. It doesn't count worth a damn if a bunch of rich guys show off up there!
Or, how about writing and reading? What's the point? All that it's useful for is for priests and the nobility to communicate dry messages to each other! What would I ever want to write down?
Or, how about emerging from the sea? Why would you want to do that? All that would happen is that you'd dry out up there! The world is like 70% water anyway! Just stay down here, or you might dry out!
The true impact of technologies and advancements are not often evident for many years.
Additionally, you are a dolt if you think that just because something isn't on the news, it's not important. What planet are you from, anyway? I would say that sometimes what doesn't make the news is more important than what does. What, in society, is a measurable effect, by the way? Sometimes an effect like freedom isn't measurable with any metric we have right now. Barring the invention of psychohistory, we have no way of knowing, either.
I cry troll upton thee.

I think that soap that claims to be anti-bacterial has Triclosan as its active ingredient. Soap is not 'naturally' anti-bacterial - many bacteria enjoy very basic environments, and some can probably live off of it.
No wonder you were banned, you have a foul little mouth, bitch! I can imagine you now, an illiterate twelve year old hunched over your Tandy running Windows 3.1, frantically jerking it to squirrel porn. A knock at the door - it's Mom! She accidentally ran herself over with the Gremlin, but she's okay. You proceed to vent your orgasmic rage on Slashdot, hastily mumbling something about those damn porn popups that you get with Mozilla and Win32-s (trojaned from Russia). In other words, you are a little prick who has no life and no karma. Goodbye - you have been Slain by the Troll Slayer.
Then stop making pages with jack-in-the-box mystery meat animated crap all over tha place, and stick to html! Your compatibility problems will all magically melt away.
Whoa! I don't remember, when I bought my TV, agreeing to any deal with the media companies. I don't think I'm stealing from them. Besides, the networks have no way of knowing if I view their commercials or not, and I certainly haven't been influenced by them. They pain me.
There is no reason that I will prop up a network by viewing commercials - a revinue stream that is shady at best.

6 to 4 is all anybody can use unless you have a fat pipe or a sponsor. It'll still be there.
Right. It's a text markup device.
It'll serve as a good intro to TeX, though. You are going to teach your kid DTP the REAL way, aren't you?

we are just now finalizing the change to W2K on the desktops, XP is still prohibited on the network and we are one of the largest companies in the USA
Fat and slow, just like the dinosaurs!

If you want it, get the rss code from Mac OS X Hints and send it to cowboyneal.
What would you have to do to do something like this in Windows land?
1. Sweep Dell off desk onto floor.
2. Call Apple.
3. Order Powerbook.

My responses to people can sometimes be quite harsh. Yet, I have an Excellent karma too! How strange. I haven't really dipped down much.
I seemed to have lost the ability to moderate, yet I consistantly Meta-moderate fairly, and try to Moderate fairly as well.
Weird.
