I think the Popoe(sic) is an evil sick little bastard. He still opposes contraceptives and the distribution of condoms and education regarding their use to 3rd world countries stricken by STDs such as AIDS. That alone wins him the 'Go Fsck Yerself And Die' award at my house.
In all the time I've spent pondering extra-terrestrial life I've never onced considered wasting my time trying to convert 'em to the baby Jesus. It's funny enough that humans still waste their time with these ludicrous old superstitions.
that would be because/usr/local doesn't even exist in a standard OS X install. If they choose to add it in future rest assured whatever you've already installed there will probably be overwritten
An APL laptop from the bizarro world. I have just spent as many as several minutes on Google trying to find some evidence that this weird thing I vaguely remembered from the distant past actually exists. I've seen one, even tried to use it. Didn't get anywhere. I'm gonna chase that puppy up and learn me some APL. Oh yeah. Welcome to so many wasted weekends and sleepless nights. Happy days.
It takes 20 minutes to copy a 14 Mb file on OS X because Finder is crap. I just copied a file from one Mac to another, both running OS X, using scp in a console. 13Mb in 6 seconds at an average of 2.1MB/s. That's a bit more like it.
C-64 Paradroid. I still play it today using an emulator and I enjoy it more than any of the monster 3D first person perspective cinematic tours de force that these modern game writers keep churning out. It doesn't look so cool at first glance but it offers compelling gameplay.
And I'm fairly certain that the most frequently played computer game in the western world is solitaire.
I, for one, am extremely uncomfortable with the idea of automated code refactoring in C++ for a number of very good reasons most of which have to do with those little yellow post-it notes that people keep leaving on my monitor with words like 'the' and 'when' written all over them in increasingly small, or decreasingly large, handwriting which makes me very nervous indeed.
If iTunes relies so heavily on OS X specific libraries then how do you explain the Windows version.
The big problem with GNUStep is that it looks like shit. I've used it, it's great, all that Objective-C magic with all that NSFandanglery and NSThingamingywhattsit, but the GUI looks terrible.
No, but why don't you just dual boot OS X and a PPC build of GNU/Linux? There's a bunch of distros available (YDL, Mandrake, Debian, Gentoo) for PPC and this new version of YDL will be based on Fedora.
I dual boot an iBook OS X and YDL 3.01. I can even run OS X on a separate console while YDL is running using MacOnLinux and toggle b/w the two. That's got to be faster than emulating an x86.
Your statement is a little vague but if you're suggesting that most apps which run in GNU/Linux on x86 can't be easily compiled for PPC you're definitely wrong.
If an app I want is not available as a PPC binary package I just download the source, do the./configure; make; make install dance and I'm done.
I very rarely find apps which make assumptions about architecture. Sure device drivers and the like are going to be a problem but not applications.
Actually it's Free as in speech. Terrasoft, suppliers of YDL, are a commercial enterprise interested in selling you a package based around their distribution of GNU/Linux. You can download the ISOs for nothing more than the cost of the bandwidth but they do sell a boxed set with a nice little book and varying levels of support. You can also buy new systems with YDL pre installed.

It's whack.

Very useful. Is there a way to save the fold state for a file b/w sessions?

Yes, box spoon vegetable pudding with fiddly, fiddly bits of string all wrapped around like eggs on a Christmas tree.

Thank you.
Model name that include numbers are for cellphones not PDAs.
Is that the law? Maybe just a helpful suggestion.
Motorcycles often have numbers in their name, ususally indicating engine capacity. ZZR 1100. That was a nice bike.
I like the word 'fucktard'.
Every process has a unique process id (PID). The value is guaranteed to be unique for your process. The value in the example is not really relevant.
they also eat strange food and they've got a different word for everything. It's weird.

And the tools crash. A lot.
Mind you XCode, man is that unstable lately.
Only in China would a reduction of internet access to the public be called an "education campaign"
Only in America would invading foreign countries to strenthen US control of middle eastern oil supplies be called 'The War On Terror'.
Sorry. I think this is appalling but the smugness of that statement really shits me.
Of course Fiat owns Ferrari these days and Ferrari don't make delivery vans anyway so the analogy is slightly flawed but I see what your getting at.
