Where in my post did I mentioned Linux? He was talking about OS X's relationship to FreeBSD and the FreeBSD kernel. OS X is essentially BSD with a Mach kernel. The standard libraries are going to be the same (this is actually true of Linux too), independent of what kernel it's running on. If your game needs a kernel extension you're doing something wrong. Likewise, the OpenGL UI does away with a need for most of the UI libraries.
technically I should have said an X-based Window Manager, since Quartz Compositor is the Apple Window manager, but I was referring specifically to displaying a window on a screen.
Eh, but userland is more or less the same. There are differences for IO drivers, and you can use Quartz Compositor instead of X, but the two are very similar.
Ethical treatment of animals is great. Breaking news: PETA doesn't stand for it. They're a pile of attention whores who would rather euthanize an animal than let it stay in a loving household where it will be subjected to "slavery and indignity"
Bandwagon is great, thanks:) Who listens to talk radio, and more importantly how do YOU know what it's saying? Looks like we have a PETA member who's pissed that everyone knows he's a loony bird.
If by "a little" you mean twice as big (remember this is a logarithmic scale we're talking about), then yes, it was a little bigger.
I'm not being dismissive of the quake, I'm being dismissive of people who overhype fairly common occurrences to get media attention. Five in a century is still a pretty common occurrence by geological standards (especially given that this is the second in 6 years).
With the BIG Indian Ocean quake a few years ago? Why do is it suddenly big news when a smaller quake does the same thing a few years later? Isn't it fair to assume that quakes of any significantly large magnitude do this? And don't we have quakes of that magnitude every few years?
I was using C as an example of a language where memory management is up to the developer. C++ would have been a better example, but I know very people who know one and not the other.
because Java programmers are never taught about memory management. It's just "magic" and so they don't think about it. C programmers who happen to be writing code in Java are a very different bunch.
Given the incredible amount of social work done by Christian organizations, I'd say that's a fair trade. My tithe helps pay for the homeless shelter, community dinners (i.e. the rural version of a soup kitchen...), disaster relief, sponsoring the education of children in 3rd world countries, etc.
This is also why many Christians are opposed to a socialized government. We'd much rather have the freedom to choose which charitable causes we support, then have the government tell us which are allowed.

Around here you can ONLY find Top Ramen, which is $0.50 a pack (or more if you're going for cup noodles)
enough for 2 days maybe....
incorrect. OS X is close/minimize/maximize
It's an unholy hybrid between Windows button ordering and OS X button alignment.
Well, at least on Mac it doesn't know what to do with it.
Firefox can't even figure out how to open that.
I totally agree about Alice's 3D. Honestly, I thought it added more to the film than Avatar's did.
No, but Mac OS X is. Darwin is BSD with a Mach kernel, and a pile of Obj-C libraries.
Actually, last I heard, it's got more than 11% laptop/desktop market share in the US.
No stupid, Agent Smith's character in Lord of the Rings.
Stop confusing latency with throughput.

If PETA is against it, that more or less guarantees my support of it.
Vermont already does cow power ;)

What kind of funky sci-fi unit is a metron ton?
