We do not have original texts for, well, any of it, but we DO have many copies of most books, or at least major sections of most books.
These copies have been dated to ~100-200 AD, and are in geographically disparate locations. Even though they are far apart, they are nearly identical. Most scholars who have looked at the evidence agree that for somethign to spread so far and change so little is a rather impressive accomplishment for the time. It stands to reason that very little "editorial slant" has been added to the New Testament books over time.
(Most of this post is what I remember from The Case for Christ by Lee Sobel. It's a darn good book for the non-history-major who wants to know more about the evidene behind Christianity.)
Well, it was installed on my machine ever so long ago, and I managed to turn it on just by looking at the docs.
If looking at the man page for qmail installed it in init.d, I'd start to worry.
Now, it may not be installed by default, because I tend to custom-install everything, but if it's there it's extremely easy to start without intending to.
Actually, Win2k Pro has it too. It's just not turned on by default, and it's a strangely crippled IIS web server, not the whole thing.
The problem is, it's all too easy to accidentally turn it on, and you suddenly have a Code Red target. At least, that's what has happened to many unsuspecting users. They didn't know they *were* server admins, so they didn't know to apply the updates.
Ther are two real reasons Aqua is like that: drivers and transparency.
Current drivers don't accelerate all the hardware can do, and there are still parts of Quartz that are really beyond acceleration with current hardware. After driver writers really understand the problem before them, Aqua and OS X should get a lot faster.
The massive amount of transparency is also a big CPU killer. Right now, the CPU has to render upwards of 20 layers of transparent 2D much of the time. That's an awful lot of alphas to handle.
Just to be fair, BeTV rocked sooo much more than pretty much any TV player I have ever seen, and there have been apps to play MP3s backwards on Be for ~3 years now.
I love all these comments "correcting" the commenter. Anyhow.
Audiop CDs are written with less error correction than data. It's just how life is. The reason for that is you won't notice a few bits that are off with a music CD, but binary code that's wrong can render a whole disc worthless.
Think of it this way: ECC is basically a way of encoding data, not unlike compression. With the bits used for audio, you can make up for huge errors but little problems are just glossed over. Data CDs avoid that problem by spending an order of magnitude more bits to guarantee a perfect match.
Well, you have a point there in some respects. But I still contend that most Mac software is not some cheam Windows port. Even MS Office and IE are totally separate from their Windows brethren.
As for games, yes, most of the commercial stuff is comprised of ports. To many people, however, games are not important. I'm waffling on this lately...I like games, but I'm not sure I want to sacrifice overall usability for them. Gamign is an expensive hobby anyway;)
It's probably not the best of ideas. There's so much electromagnetic noise in your PC case, it will seriously degrade the usable lifetime of the magnet.
Yes, because as we all know, permanent magnets are usually the first thing to go in today's computers. My God man. Have you ever seen a magnet wear out? Do they even have a "usable lifetime?" If there's one thing in my case that I don't worry about wearing out, it's the magnets contained within the various bits and pieces.
I would almost call this a troll, but it's jsut egging on the parent post. In that case, very funny! =)
It's about time! I have seen some fans that apple curved tips and other methods to reduce noise, but this sounds like something that could be even more useful.
It seems to me that these fans sould also be more reliable. You don't need the axis to be anywhere near as complicated, since all it's doing now is providing a center of rotation. The motor is less likely to burn out, and also runs at a lower speed, which is always a good thing when it comes to longevity of hardware.
Now add photo and the state has a current image of almost every citizen which could then be plugged into cctv systems at political demonstrations and immediately identify people opposed to the current government. Bye Bye Freedom of Speach and hello the ability to track someone where ever they go.
This is a nonsequitur/slippery slope fallacy. The US government already has reasonably easy access to pictures of most of its citizens, but hasn't performed the abuses you described. Just because a government theoretically can do a thing doesn't mean that it does.
Well, on OS X you are better off using the perl built-in to OS X. I think the part in the story referring to running in classic was basically to say that MacPerl is still an answer for those using OS 9 or earlier.
From my OS X box: [chrisl:~] lindemer% perl --version
This is perl, v5.6.0 built for darwin
Now, if you're running a process in MacPerl on OS X...you will probably have to deal with timeouts the first run or two. Classic takes a minute or so to launch, and that time can be much more (or less) depending on your hardware and how stripped-down your OS 9 environment is.

It's a video Apple shows so you can see the tool in action. Basically, it's a Mac OS X app (so yes, proprietary, if you want to call it that.) that is very similar to the remote administration tools for AppleShare IP.
Open the program, it asks for the server's name (or IP) your username and password. You then get a little window that separates all administrative functions into separate sections. One page for user admin (greate/edit users and groups). One to edit AFP/SMB shares. One to control Internet services like web server (really Apache) FTP, e-mail, etc. One to control IP services like BIND/DHCP/NetBoot.
Basically, you can control the whole server remotely, which is what the original poster was saying you couldn't do.

and that's scarier than what will happen after I die (wich is, nothing).
Scarier for other people, maybe. Scarier for you? Well I really doubt you'll care since you're so set on the idea there is no afterlife.
If this is all there is, what's the point anyway?

Yeah, that was IE not "IT" when I wrote it. Honest.
It's been in the IT power toys for quite a while. The built-in interface for it has just shown up recently, though.

I think a lot of it isn't badly written, it's just got a huge emphasis on quality rather than quantity.
Pretty much everything in OS X is shaded and antialiased, where Acrobat Reader doesn't do a lot of the hard work by default.

Thank you, come again.
Well, a windowing system with less overhead would be a start...

Well, fungus -> fungi, so genus -> geni. =)
;)
What's even more fun is genius -> genii. The extra "i" is fun to pronounce
You were commenting on somebody suggesting Macs. I figure the way you said Sun boxen are unbreakable deserved a retort. Nothing more.
I've seen more than one Solaris box rooted.
UPSIDE THE HEAD!

Minor correction: It was QuickTime Streaming Server, now it's Darwin Streaming Server.

I should have used the "preview" button before posting! Who knew?

You do understand you just described the situation of the typical Mac user, right?

Limited games (software) but what you have is good.
Intense customer loyalty.
Knowing the other side has more software, but that's because the other side has a metric pantload of crappy titles.
Cooler hardware.
Anything I'm leaving out?
