Mac OS has a "notify" widget. When your program needs attention from the user and the frontmost window belongs to another program, create a "notify" widget.

Most NES freeware developers on the Internet use LoopyNES, available at Zophar.net. It's for DOS, but it'll probably run in DOSEmu. It offers nearly perfect emulation of the NES CPU and PPU (helluva lot better than Testicle) with only two problems I've found: 1. no wave logging, and 2. a bug in the sample playback code (yes, the NES had a compressed sample channel) that sometimes loops or drops samples.

This whole thing is about as lame as having the term Realtor trademarked...
The generic term for REALTOR® is "real estate agent." But "Olympic" itself is a semi-generic term that can also mean "near or pertaining to Mount Olympus or any other similarly named mountains." (Fully generic terms are not protected under US trademark law.) And doesn't trademark law have separate "spheres" of trademark rights? (Sports is one sphere; pizza is another sphere; etc.)
It would be no large effort to associate a karma score with any given IP address
An IP address is no unique identifier. For example, my IP address pretty much reads "somebody on a modem somewhere in Indiana owned by UUNet" because it is pseudorandomized every time I connect to the Internet.
Programs that use the GNU GPL but want to give the user additional freedoms have an option open in section 10 of the the GPL: exceptions.

Take the USA for example. The Constitution says that authors' exclusive rights must be "for limited times"; it doesn't say how limited. Limited to 999,999 years? Still limited.
The Walt Disney Company has been taking advantage of this loophole for years. Every time the copyright on early Mickey Mouse cartoons gets close to expiring, Disney just buys a 20-year retroactive extension.
The DNA of a human being is the binary. Source code is normally commented, and that's what they're working out. They've sequenced the genome (== dumped the binary); now they're mapping it (== running a debugger, disassembling, and commenting the source).
MMC3 and MMC5 (among other mappers) had integrated timers that counted down the scanlines (often used to tell the CPU to switch from the playfield to the status bar).
E?ROM games for NES(Castlevania 3, several Koei titles) used MMC5 to generate additional color data for tiles.
Several Konami games for NES had a sound chip called VRC?.
Several Capcom titles for SNES (Mega Man X 2 and 3) used the C4 chip. I don't know what it did.
Yoshi's Island, Doom, Vortex, Dirt Trax, Star Fox, and Stunt Race used various iterations of the Super FX chip.
Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG, etc. used the SA-1 chip.
A few games used a compression chip that decompressed data coming out of the ROMs.
Nintendo's Super Game Boy accessory implemented a full Game Boy system (sans serial port) inside an SNES cartridge.

In fact I'm not even sure they can force you to only run the java code within their web page.
