But MAME has never used their mark in commerce. They would be opening themselves to much trouble if they did.
Can you even have a registered trademark to keep it from becoming used in commercial setting?
I think IBM did. They allow host operating systems to implement a 32/64 bit hybrid machine where each proccess gets to choose what mode the processor is in upon execution.
So for applications that don't need a 64 bit address space they don't need to have it.
My solution? Require Microsoft to develop its own technology without outside help for 5 years. They can't acquire technology, buy companies or lease patents. See how long they last...
But to be effective, wouldn't it also require a hiring freeze?
Excerpt from the excerpt from the upcoming Dornfest and Brickley book
Metadata applied at a fundamental level, early in the game, will provide rich semantics upon which innovators can build peer-to-peer applications that will amaze us with their flexibility.
Isn't this what the cue cat people did when they embedded serial numbers into their scanners? It allowed them to start creating a metadatabase on you!
This sounds like the definition on an inode number which is one of the central design features of Unix-like filesystems. This kind of feature needs to be emulated for things like the stat() system call and NFS for filesystems that don't support them. These are the unique IDs for files in a filesystem under UFS.
Can inode numbers be reused? File IDs cannot. Which makes them useful for keeping track of files when they move.
I guess HFS+ doesn't care about directory permissions too much.
No, but HFS+ has places to store directory permissions and stuff. Isn't it the kernals job to respect permissions?
Strangely, the author explain how HFS+ didn't have hard links and how it was very difficult to emulate them using symbolic links... but aliases sound very similar to them.
Mac OS aliases are inbetween sym links and hard links.
Also, I don't know if aliases can point to relative paths.
Yes they can. The API allows you to select a starting point during the creation of an alias.

To bad Prebinding modifies the executable of a GUI application, otherwise this would be a great addition to the system.
If Microware can't win a trandmark lawsuit regarding OS-9 against Apple, then TigerDirect has no chance at all!

They do make a PCI version. But when I bought mine I didn't have the option.
Currently I am using a free Pentium-90 (huge tower case) I got. But am looking for something smaller.
Anybody know of a small computer with ISA slots?
After examining my 10.1.5 server it appears the standard ftp server is not lukemftpd.
The advisory states that ftpd is not affected by the bug.
So at least that deamon isn't vunerable. But others can be. It would be nice to have apple release an update for these systems.

I was real happy with the service. I live fairly close to their distribution center, so I usually got the discs very quickly.
Then they emailed me some spam. I don't do business with people who spam. So I am lo longer a customer of theirs.
It was funny because their spam was trying to get me sign up. So sad.
