I'm happy to hear that there is a planet on which nothing unexpected ever happens. Could I ride back to it on your rocket-ship with you and live there for a while?
Lightning strikes, both figuratively and literally. You're luck it hasn't struck you.
Besides that, animals and plants are just as 'alive' as one another.

I think it's fair to say that if you aren't prepared to kill an animal, cut it apart, getting blood and gore all over you and everything in a 5 foot radius, take it home, eat some and freeze the rest, you should think about vegetarianism. This goes for anyone. I love to hear meat-eaters who are opposed to hunting try to justify their fucked-up view of the world.

Uhh, and give up any kind of desert that tastes good? Reasons why I won't go vegan include:
1) Crappy desert choices (don't deny it). 2) Must concentrate on food choices more intently to get a balanced diet. 3) I generally eat organic, free-range meat. It's tastier and more humane. 4) Bone density. Martial arts + veggie diet often = broken bones.
Also, you can get off your high horse about the whole killing animals thing. Plants are just as alive and deserving of respect (or a salt-and-buttering) as their animal kin. Next time you bite into that apple, listen for a tiny scream. YOU ARE EATING IT ALIVE!

This lab meat had better be tasty, or I won't give up the 'real deal' anytime soon. I don't even eat McDonald's 'meat' products because they aren't really meat at all, and they taste nasty. Then again, most people are exposed heavily to McDonald's as a child and not moose, elk, antelope, deer, ostrich, alligator, wild waterfoul and upland game as a child. Maybe I'm spoiled, but maybe processed (and often adulterated) meat is just plain fucking nasty.
Enjoy your tank burger, future boy. I'll be hand-loading until they pry my hunting rifle from my cold dead hands.
The crazy thing is that damn near EVERYTHING is this easy in Cocoa. I haven't actually been really excited by a development environment since LegoLogo, but this is even cooler.

As I understand it, when I 'buy' a DVD I am really just buying a license to watch it. Does that mean if it breaks I have to buy a new one? Or do they have to send me one as I am afforded no legal way to back up the data? Or does my contract disappear with the accidental scratching of my disc?
I'm confused about this. If the 'contract' I have entered into (not signed) can be broken by a scratch, I don't believe that it was a contract in the first place. I should be able to get the data from anyone else with the same DVD. If I haven't entered into a contract, then I should be able to back up my data anyway. At least that's what I think. I had a shot in the ass of prednisone because of a sinus infection, so my mind is a little loopy tonight. Or this morning. Whatever.
Nah, I think that without public education and other government services we would be totally fucked. Strict libertarianism may work on paper, but the last thing we need is more poorly-educated bumpkins strolling around. Hospitals that are non-profit are nice too. As are roads.
What would MS do if their customer base starts to erode noticeably? Will we see more "Satanic" actions to lock in their customers, or will MS respond in a way that will benefit the overall user community?
Hahahahahahaha! Oh, my gosh, I think I just peed my pants.
In my recollection, MS has never done ANYTHING that benefits anybody but Bill and his minions. What, pray tell, would you have them do to benefit the user community? Release the code to Win XP under the GPL? Give away free Windows licenses for low income people and charitable organizations? Shower the west coast with candy and free Thighmasters? Actually follow a standard rather than embracing and extending it? Allowing the video you record on your new HP Media Center Edition to be played back on another computer or device (or god forbid the same computer after an upgrade of any kind)? What?
I don't think that you could come up with a single thing that MS would ever do to benefit computer users overall that wasn't calculated to benefit them financially and politically in the long run.
Microsoft put little more than a CDDB lookup into their player.
Why not just put a plain old CDDB lookup into their player? It's the 'little more' part that scares me.
Shit, that camera that was in everyone's house in the great book 1984 is little more than a webcam! Why freak out about that?
If anything is poorly thought-out it is your refutation. Everyone else's player doesn't 'phone home to Momma' like MS's does. iTunes contacts a CDDB server, not Apple.
There's a difference between Microsoft bashing and simply stating facts. It gives one pause when the facts are all scary and Orwellian enough that simply stating them amounts to Microsoft bashing.
You haven't considered that AOL/TW may be buying Tivo so they can KILL it! We've never seen that kind of behavior from large corporations before, have we?
I wouldn't liken MS to Ferrari or Porsche, but rather to the Yugo and the LeCar. It certainly LOOKS like a car, but once you get behind the driver's seat the view becomes much more dismal. A poor implementation. Sure, they all have wheels and doors and such, but when you get one out on the road and drive, you realize that you have been duped.
Or maybe I would liken them to the Adobe (remember that SNL fake-mercial?).
The binaries are. It's often easier to download the source code, and do a simple./configure make sudo make install make clean
Any absent dependent packages will be listed during the configure phase, and most decent *nix implementations will have all but the most esoteric fulfilled already. The side effect of this (trivial) work, which realistically is little more than RPM hell anyway, is binaries custom-built for your particular machine.
I have taught many windows monkeys how to do this procedure themselves. 1)./configure 2) go to Freshmeat and get the dependant packages. 3) repeat for each dependant package 4) when sick of this, install FreeBSD.
He never said he meant "command prompt On Windows." Without putting words in his mouth, I would assume he meant on a decent OS (meaning unix-like) or at the very least Cygwin or MinGW.
I think that the GNU-Darwin folk think that they should be on equal footing with Apple - deciding together what direction the system should go. In reality, however, one realizes that Darwin is Apple's system. They decide what happens to the OS, what direction it takes, &c.
Maybe they expect their move to 'force' Apple to open source everything, so they can port it to X86. Gee, that'd be a great business move. Just make all their hardware redundant - after all, if they did that, anybody could install OS X on their generic PC.
In the meantime, I would hope that the Gnu-Darwin people learn about GNUstep - a GPL'd implementation of Openstep which could enable many OS X applications (not all mind you) to run on most any OS with a simple recompile.
I must agree with you that this move make no sense at all. Why would anybody have any reason to run an orphaned OS, stripped of most of the things that distinguish it from any other Free *nix, and exclusively on a different platform than most of the installed Darwin systems run?!? Seriously, you GNU-Darwin folk should find a new crack dealer. I think your shit is contaminated with the stupids.
I have a partition for Classic which is HFS+, and all the applications that barf on UFS go there.
HFS+ tends to get hosed more often, is harder to fix when it does get hosed, and isn't case sensitive. I was actually hoping they'd come out with journaling for UFS (or softupdates).

Investor money spent on lavish gifts and inflated salaries for the officers of the company isn't wasted, it's well spent!
If you are the officers, anyway.

I have a partition for Classic which is HFS+, and all the applications that barf on UFS go there.
HFS+ tends to get hosed more often, is harder to fix when it does get hosed, and isn't case sensitive. I was actually hoping they'd come out with journaling for UFS (or softupdates).
Thanks for the suggestions. You seem to have a damn good plan here, and I'll surely give it a try.
Sometimes, there will be a concerted effort to railroad you from the start. I'm pretty sure legal action is the only way to go there.
I have never had a problem with that silly kernel panic.
Then again, I use a real unix file system, not that hack job called HFS+.
