Yeah! And those people that design the shower controls in hotel rooms, make them take showers using each other's controls. That way, they'll know how it feels to come at those things never having seen them before.
is buying groceries without supporting a tobacco company. Trickier than you might think, what with Kraft, Nabisco, and any number of smaller companies like Starbucks etc. owned by tobacco...
First off - it says all over the site that this will be a three part work.
Second - this is Stephen King, maker of extremely fat novels. One of his chapters, by raw word-count, comes out to a novel by many authors. Of course, we're not counting artistic merit per word, nor am I about to go into that...
There's a UNIX that'll run on a IIgs, but I think with a IIe you're basically stuck with one of Apple's DOS systems.
Not that that's necessarily bad - start scouring FTP sites, and you can probably come up with the software to turn it into a terminal pretty easily. And the darn things look so cool!
That the goverment does not collect taxes, and so while both parents don't need to work,
there are no roads for either of them to get to work on
the sewage system is so terrible that neither is ever in good health for long enough at a stretch to keep a job
there is no guarantee of health care, so they need to keep hundreds of thousands of $ in reserve, just in case someone gets ill enough to need hospitalization
there is no police force, I won't even go into that...
Get real. The USA has the lowest tax rates in the civilized world. You don't see starving Germans on the streets much, and their government is a socialist-green alliance right now. You always have to pay for the stuff you use. Whether you pay for it through taxes or per item doesn't make a difference.
And most of them just address the CPU fan. You still need a power supply fan. Oh well.
Are you really attached to x86 architecture? If not, you're laughing. Get a Mac - G4 cube if you want to go all fancy-like, or an iMac (starts at about 800 bucks now I think) if the budget means something. Wait in frustration until OS X public beta comes out. When it does, be happy, set the HD to spin down after a short delay, and save everything on another computer, in another room, via NFS/Appleshare.
Robert Heinein was without a doubt the greatest American philosopher of the twentieth century
What? Did we read the same tediously dull, sexist, Robert A. Heinlein? The one who was incapable of imagining a society other than 50's USA would take root in the future? The one that really makes you apreciate how good Ray Bradbury is? Or are you talking about some other Heinlein
Tenon's X Window Server application will be downloadable as a public beta as soon as Apple's OS X public beta is available. The final product is slated to ship when Mac OS X ships in January 2001.
Now, what that really means, we'll have to see - is that downloadable if you already own one of their products...
So it crashes all the time, that's so what. I went through a whole bunch of bother to get it running. There's a question in their FAQ describing a sequence of error messages, and answered, basically, "we haven't a sniff". That was the problem I got the first three times I downloaded it. Finally I got it to run, and as soon as I started the X app that I needed it for, it froze the whole computer. Every time I started that one app, it would do it.
So, after spending about 2 1/2 hours struggling with the stupid thing, I had to walk through the snow to campus anyway, except now it was dark as well as cold...
it doesn't matter because constitutional or not, strong gun control laws fail
I shouldn't even bother answering, but I can't help it. That is some of is the purest, most unadulterated BS I have heard. Let's think about this - the US has the weakest gun control laws in the civilized world, and the highest gun death rates in the civilized world. Anyone see a connection here?
They do not keep guns away from criminals any more than drug laws keep heroin away from junkies
That applies only to the highly organized criminals who can get guns smuggled in from out of the country. It's with the common hoods that this makes a difference - they're not going to be connected to international gun cartels, but they sure can find the one gun shop in (twenty? thirty? I dunno) that looks perfectly honest on paper, but is willing to sell guns without criminal record checks. Get rid of gun shops, and only a tiny minority of criminals will be well-enough connected to find guns.
Most of the people killed with guns are not killed by criminals, but by perfectly honest, upstanding citizens. They are killed by their families, because someone gets drunk and angry, and grabs the gun out of the gun closet. Or because they go downstairs for a glass of water in the night, and someone mistakes them for a burglar
All the gun nuts I hear call up Switzerland as an example of a country with lots of guns and no gun violence. But Switzerland has some of the most draconian gun laws in the world. You basically can't own a gun. That's not your gun in your house, it's the government's gun, and you don't take it out without filling out a week's worth of paperwork. The gun is kept locked up, unloaded, and there are inspections regularly (That's right, government agents come into your house to inspect their guns, and you have no right to tell them to go away) and if they find that you have been using the guns without due process, you lose the guns. Furthermore, nobody gets a gun in their house without going through lengthy training, and passing it, and going back regularly for refresher courses.
Are you sure of that? I've got the impression that javac is actually a java application. Certainly on the Mac, javac starts the JVM. In WinNT, the only other OS where I've compiled java, its memory use, even when compiling HelloWorld.java, is pretty consistent with a JVM.
I'm sure insurance companies will be buying this one up!
"Miss Handel, would you please hold this fellow up a minute or two more? Looks like he might be coming down with something soon, we want to check this out more closely."
Apparently, in standardized tests of one's ability to tell who is lying, the average person is only slightly better than random - reliably catching only the most obvious liars, otherwise just guessing.
In the same tests, police officers do significantly better at finding liars, but only because they do exactly that much worse at finding people telling the truth. In other words, they are also basically picking at random, but they're more suspicious, so they pick more people out as liars, and fewer as telling the truth.
And I'm pretty sure, this being a N American study, that while whether or not you are lying is essentially unrelated to whether a cop thinks you are, the darkness of your skin, the age of your car, the hairiness of your face, etc., are. As you mentioned...
As of 1995 , Apple had prototype IPv6 going. According to them, they were the first "consumer OS" to demonstrate working IPv6. Given that the other consumer OS of the time, pretty much was Win 95, I'll believe it...
A) No, I don't think anyone does, but the odds are high that if you are being tapped, someone is going to come a knockin'.
And, true to KGB form, they will be saying, "What are you gonna do, sue us? Because then we'd have to bring the tapes into court. And then your wife would hear what what you've been getting up to." And you will say, "What? You're on crack, aren't you?" And then they will play you a tape, and dammit, it'll sound a heck of a lot like you, and she'll sound a heck of a lot like someone you know, but the conversation won't be familiar...
One little point about themes: If you look at macthemes.org there is a discussion (likely not on the main page, but shouldn't be too hard to find) about the prospects for themes in OS X.
OS 8.5 and up have used themes, Apple even released four different ones with early versions of 8.5, but then Steve changed his mind. the above link is one of a good number of places that offer Mac themes. Kaleidoscope is not really themes, it's an extra extension, and it tends to cause stuff to crash unpleasantly...
Bottom line is, yes, themes will be reverse-engineered soon enough, even if Apple doesn't provide a spec.

The flamebait is the American justice system, and it richly earned its flaming here.

The only UNIX that's even close to working on a 68000 is NetBSD, and that won't even work on a Classic either.
Won't system 6 run on a Plus? That's what's running on our classic (or would be, if anyone turned it on).
