If you're viewing the site in Safari it uses the search field (input type="search"), if you're viewing it in other browsers, the search bar degrades to a regular text field.
I would assume that Darwin 8.0.1 is just a fix for Darwin itself. Darwin 8.1.x will correspond to MacOS X 10.4.1. (Just as Darwin 7.9 corresponded to MacOSX 103.9.)
Apple has been using Open Source and making money from it for a few years now. Their model is to have open source and freely available core components (Darwin, Webkit, etc) then build value on top of it and charge for that.
I think we'll start to see this model adopted more and more.
The Xserves do not have a 1.1 GHz bus. They are 1.0 GHz just like the Powermacs. So far Apple has always clocked the bus at 1/2 processor speed. (I've heard that the PPC 970 also supports 1/3 and 1/4, but, of course, not as happily.)
Microsoft weeded out Netscape. Natural selection had nothing to do with it.
(and yet, Netscape as Mozilla has evolved and may yet raise again.)

But honestly, isn't it nice to have a choice? I mean, if Apple had gone with gecko, then we'd pretty much only have gecko-based browsers on the mac (neglecting IE--something everyone should do). But this way, two different open source browser efforts are available on OSX.
Personally I've been using safari since tabs were added. Every couple of weeks I download the latest Camino nightly, to see how things are shaping up. I think both are great, safari just seems a little more tuned.
My advice to you, is to see what kinds of desks your school provides. I go to GW and half the desks are exactly wrong for desktops. It's almost like somebody decided that they didn't like desktops (large monitors, etc) and made a desk to that it wont fit.
Laptops are nice solely because it is easier to move them around (which becomes a big deal when you're switching dorms every year).
What about AudioScrobbler? They use the music that you listen to and compare it to the music other people listen to. They then find people with similar music tastes to you, and then you can expand your tastes by looking at what they listen to.
As always, it is a good idea to repair your permissions after an OS update (though this update isn't huge). It always seems to speed things up a little for me.
This Guy has some good ideas about how to improve it.
I personally like the service a lot. My only complaint is that they didn't take advantage of the fact that they have your whole music library in the same application. They could offer some amazing recommendations based upon your existing library. Also, it would be nice to have a "Buy More Music by this Artist" contextual menu item in iTunes that would take you to the store and search for the artist...
actually that was the subject of an Adobe Macromedia law suit a few years ago. Adobe seemingly has patented the dragging of tabs from one palette to another.
You've got to crawl before you can walk, my friends. And in this case Apple is making a first step in the right direction. 99 cents per song isn't bad, maybe once a couple of these services start, competition will lower it to 75, then to 60 and so on.
Don't get your panties in a twist just because the first incarnation isn't perfect.
The difference, though, is that on Windows you have the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen that allows you to switch back and forth between windows easily. You only really need to have tabs when there isn't an easy way to switch between windows. Tabs allow you to easily have a running list of all open browser windows and to switch back and forth, something that the MacOS window cascade has difficulty with.
Please don't get me wrong, I love OSX with a passion, but this is just an area where the windows taskbar shines over the dock. It doesn't happen often.
Tabs are essential to the mac browsing experience in my mind.
If the ISPs are forced to give the information, it would be a good time for somebody to write a Kazaa client that used similar technology to that developed by Zero Knowledge back in the day.
Basically, it would go through a couple of intermediate servers that hid the IP addresses in such a way that nobody knew who you were anyway...

For a device such as this, wouldn't bluetooth make more sense as a limited transmission medium? Seems odd to user irDA instead...

Wait, you're right. There is a slight pop between tracks, but it is not a big deal at all. (I listened to some Bach).
I'll have to check my old iPod, but I think that might have been there on that one too. (10gb)
The thing is, it is barely noticable (as can be seen by the fact that I never noticed until it was pointed out to me).

and mine doesn't have any pops. (15gb)
It is a very very solid upgrade to an already amazing product. Don't cancel your order.
Seeing as the new ones are 10,15,30gb and the ones they got were 5gb, it can probably be inferred that they are old.

MusicMatch does suck, but there are a couple of other apps that make life a little easier.
EphPod, free IRC
XPlay, not free.
Enjoy.

Ada has a bytecode generator. See here
So does that mean that my forced ada classes in college were useful?
