What the HELL are you talking about?
Heck, even jdk1.4 is in the ports, and even native!
Mac OS X's low level follows much of the Single UNIX Specification, but it is not a UNIX® brand system.
Yes it is, X/Open even says so. I would fetch an url, but I guess you know how google works.
I hear ya. Much more important for a desktop system is lots of apps, antialiased fonts, and a consistent interface.
Sure, being able to skimp on desktop real estate by being able to see through a window what's happening behind it, but I'd rather have virtual desktops of the kind X window managers have done for ages.
I heard from people (supposedly in the know) that they (the military and government) actually microwave some media to make sure one can't recover the data that's stored on it.
No, it's just Microsoft reinventing open source all over again. Maybe in the distant future you'll see MS twisting itself in so much turns, it'll eventally settle at some BSD-like license.
No _you_ are wrong. The grandparent poster is right.
Instead of reading the necktie induced marketing blurb, try reading the Darwin FAQ which states the following:
Q. Why is Darwin based on BSD UNIX?
A. There are several reasons for this. The first one is historical. Mac OS X draws a lot of its code base from a system called OPENSTEP, created by NeXT Software, which Apple bought in 1997. OPENSTEP and its predecessor, NEXTSTEP, were based on 4.3 BSD. BSD has always had a rich academic developer community behind it, and while much of the original BSD UNIX was not free, its source code was available to anyone who obtained a license for it. The wide development community that arose to support BSD contributed to many of the ideas that drive today's open source community. That community also facilitated a great deal of research, including work to put BSD on Mach at Carnegie Mellon University-code that eventually found its way to NeXT and now to Apple.
Mac OS X (well, Darwin actually) derives from a 4.4BSD-Lite kernel. 4.4BSD is not to be confused with FreeBSD 4.4. 4.4BSD has been around for much longer. I run 4.4BSD on one of my VAX emulators. Since when did FreeBSD do a VAX port?
You might wanna change the semicolons to double ampersands. If somehow some process returns something other than 0, you won't risk sexual harrassment. With double ampersands, you break off before you get slapped with a restraining order.
How much information is lost if you can play an audio cd at 2x (heck or even 4x) speed, and then record it across SPDIF at 4x resultion, and slowing it back down to 1x?
If the analog channel inbetween is virtually noiseless, it's virtually nothing. So it can be done in 4x shorter (maybe even faster) time.
Video and photo's are tricked, edited and retouched by documentary photographers and cinegraphers all the time.
Sure, messing with a news photo is a grey area, since news should convey the truth, and by altering the photograph, you are altering the truth.
In defense I would say that protographing is an art, and using photo-editing tools to make your picture better is also "acceptable" if you could go just around the corner and shot the exact same picture by accident. Of course the photographer wished to rule out the chance-aspect and edited the image to convey the "feeling" of the moment better.
And of course there's the old adage: He got caught. He did a crappy photo-edit. If he did a good job he wouldn't get caught with it, and we'd be happily on our way believing everything we see in a newspaper. (insert conspiracy theories, the illuminati and whatnot (yes, I have been playing Deus Ex again, so I'm in that whole conspiracy mood... yum)).
If you sit down and start typing code, you are likely a code monkey.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a programmer, but I am a sysadmin who dabbles in C, Perl or Python sometimes, and the occasional shell hack. It's proven a useful skill many times, and I'd like to think that I am somewhat competent at it. Oh, and I acquired these skills autodidactically (sp?).
Seriously, i don't code much, but when I do, it's either to work around some bug or patch around some unwanted behaviour, to glue a front-end to some back end thing, or I cobble something together to automate some stuff. Sure, there's not a lot of design going on, but I usually produce readable code, and somewhat decently commented (that's so I'll understand what's going on when I look at it 6 months later when it breaks), but no, I wouldn't call myself a programmer, but yes, I do program. I rather wouldn't, but hey, shit happens.
So are code mumbling sysadmins like me really programmers? I'm certainly not a code monkey, although I use _no_ form of design methodology. Hack first, ask questions later.
I tell ya, this thing is a live saver. It saved my ass in the colo the other day when a coworker decided to blow up/etc on a box. I was able to copy over the/etc tree from a working box across nfs, it saved the day.
Sure there are other emergency rescue disks out there, but none of them are as complete as knoppix.
I've been waiting for this "ultimate sysadmin's bootdisk" to include kde 3.1.1. This iso saved my life several times already. Go get it! Go knoppix team!
Slashdot Mirror
Please change it? Ouch.....
Available in ipv6 too! Hot damn :)

That way, non-remote memory won't be accessible, and your data will stay your data.

Yeah, they work a treat in Konq and KDE as well... I'm addicted! The monospace Vera font is also scrumptious. I'm using it in Konsole and it's great.

So, where do I hire them? :)
s**g == shag
b**t == butt
Just so you know :)
Hey, you might hit a quine :)

*YAWN* I better not play this game... I will never sleep!
A record? I'd say a broken record :)
I mean, why three times? One bit for evil, one for very evil, and 3 for satan himself?
Oh well...
*ducks for cover*
iDotpc... I could've sworn I read idiot-pc there... I need more coffee...
Don't worry, it happened a couple of months ago, and he still gets abuse over it. :)

It's a toughy, I grant you that...
