Actually, Netcraft only confirms what is already present in the most reliable data measure we have about the life of an OS: The number of posts about it to usenet. So always check usenet postings before shouting "Red ink! River of blood!"
Also, it would help to be aware of how long it takes to copy a 17 M file from one disk to another under the OS.
Come on folks, don't be naive. Just because this guy is a video game character does not make him any less a threat to national security. Do we really need another 9/11-style attack before we wake up? Remember after 9/11 when it turned out that the Sesame Street character Bert (of Ernie and Bert) was working closely with Osama bin Laden? Now I don't know a lot about this Don Emilio guy but I will feel much safer when he is locked away in Guantanamo, or at least huddling in a cave in Pakistan somewhere taunting us with audio tapes while American bombs explode nearby....
Oh great -- so he's a foreign terrorist! That will make catching him that much harder, especially with all you slashdotters whining about the government making mistakes. Let the government do its job already and let's get this foreign terrorist to Gitmo right away where he can wear a hood and be taunted by guards while the rest of us go back to enjoying the products of our Ministry of Truth.
What are you talking about? Your post has nothing to do with the arguments here. Boucher's bill does not "repeal" copyright, and nobody seems to be defending that position here. The bill reverses some of the worst parts of the DMCA. The bill protects a user's fair use rights; "wholesale infringement" as you suggest is not legalized by this bill.
In my experience 10.1 was barely usable; 10.2 was an essential upgrade. I have slower hardware I suppose (ibook g3 700 and g4 tower dual 867), but 10.2 was an absolutely essential improvement in speed and stability.
OK, copyright holders have a right to protect their copyright privileges (they aren't really "rights" in the sense of, say, free speech, which is considered a natural right). The point is that the government should not be subsidizing their right to protect their privileges.
Some moron moderated the parent offtopic. Check it out: phantom plates for your car. The spray on is the coolest; you spray the license plate and it doesn't show up on the cameras.
As this is still a prototyping project, it is merely a proof of concept intended for software engineers to examine the methods used and hopefully provide a springboard for focusing our discussions and thoughts on the final, and arguably most complex, stages of this port.
This is hardly even "semi-beta stuff." It's "proof of concept." Which means it's great if you're a programmer and want to tinker, or you just want to see what Open Office for OSX will look like in a year or two, fine, but if you actually have to use Office to, I don't know, prepare documents or something, you're better off sticking with the X11 version. And if you want a real OSX interface, you're better off with MS Office. I don't like MS, but that's what I use, because it gets the job done.
If you're interested in development releases of Office products, you might also check out AbiWord which has also just been released for OSX, but again, it's not ready for prime time.

Check it out :)

"That's Mister 47 to you, pal!"
but only in Soviet Russia.
Don't be so cocky. It's not the amount of Google juice you have that matters; it's how well you spray it.
Misread the headline again. I was hoping that with the return of cyber-soap, some of the people around here might start taking baths.

It was just posted with the dual core chip, so it got posted twice.
teja vu.
It even does Windows!
Mind if I share this with the RIAA?
Sorry, if you want the ease of Windows, you don't want OS X. You need something way more complicated.

To extort as much money as they possibly can. I'm serious. Lawsuits appear to have become a part of their business model.
There was a solution to this for a while that involved setting up a network beacon but I could never get it to work... anyone have details on that?
all I need in an editor is a talking paperclip!
And then I, for one, will welcome our European overlords!
that I, for one, welcome our new Ark-tic Overlords.
You don't need wikipedia. Spintronics is the same thing as electronics, except it deals with, um, spintrons.
Is that what she told you?
Oh. I thought you said "party."
