    <pedant>
    No, it runs Darwin, which is based on the NeXT step driver system I/O Kit, BSD 4.4 with some new code from all three BSDs for the userland interface, networking stack and part of the process management, the rest is taken care of with a Mach-UNIX microkernel hypervisor, though the kernel isn't one. The last part is most of the reason Mac OS X is something like an order of magnitude slower than other unixes.

    Public key crypto, with the private key in a volatile memory IrDA device, and never leaving it. That would render hardware access moot. Possibly use short range Bluetooth instead and require the device to be constantly connected in order to be logged in.

    Not all databases are crappy for semi-stochastic data formats, i.e. Document-oriented DBMSes. Though metadata tables in a standard RDBMS should be the same thing.
    Disclaimer: I'm nit a database geek, this is just MHO, YMMV.

    The problem is legacy code. Somebody call up the LLVM guys to make a descent x86 decompiler, and then figure out how to do the recompilation on the GPU. Possibly add a network processing API to Galium3D. Maybe Sun could use a hand accelerating their software RAID as well.
    So many ideas, so little time.

    It's everyone's business that we don't have a society full of manic douchebags with migraines.

    You kill me. Most don't got migraines, but are douches anyway. And nobody is trying to give them happy pills, and your action is quite similar, though it involves taking away pills instead of giving, but based on the same principal.

    Those solvents are organic, therefore non-polar, correct? What's stopping you from using supercritical CO2 instead? It's already used in caffeine extraction.
    You are also underestimating any process's susceptibility to industrialization. Manual bleeding of seeds? Yeah right. Grind to pulp and centrifuge.
