There's already an app "store" for the Mac. It's called MacPorts. You just open the terminal window and type "port install " and it installs an app for you.
I get the impression that somehow leptons are being converted to fermions?
I'm not a physicist, but it is my understanding that leptons are fermions. The two main groups are fermions (take up space, more or less) and bosons (don't take up space). Fermions further break down into two groups, hadrons (quarks) and leptons (electrons, muons, tauons, and neutrinos).
Just because Sculley didn't know about computers at the time, he assumes that nobody did?
This is typical of most people. If I find something easy, it must be easy and people who don't get it are stupid. If I find something hard or don't understand it, everyone else does to, but it's OK because it's not important.
I don't know why everyone on slashdot seems to give him a free pass but say DRM, locked-down hardware, restrictions, end user licenses and so on are bad.
It's funny, but most every time there's an article about Apple, someone posts something like this. It should be obvious by now that Slashdot is composed of a very diverse group of people with very diverse opinions. Some people think that Steve Jobs is great, others wouldn't walk across the street to piss on him if he was on fire. The same is true about most any other prominent figure from RMS to Bill Gates.
Excuse me, but when has a soldering iron ever been required for owning or even building a non-Apple home computer? Sure, there are kits for the hobbyist community, but that is not the mainstream market of a "home computer".
Kids these days... There was a time when the hobbyist market was the only market for home computers. I suppose that you could argue that the mainstream market only started when computers were available fully assembled, but there were home computers before then.
These were the days when the 8-bit microprocessor ruled. Though you could buy the Heithkit H-11 which required a soldering iron and used a 16 bit processor.
Even the first Apple computer, the Apple 1 was a kit.
Then along came people like Radio Shack (TRS-80) and Commodore (PET), who along with Apple started selling pre-assembled machines.
I think that the point that the author was making is that the logic contains IF, THEN, and comparisons, not add and divide. It may be that the business analysts do not understand math.

Careful posting in Apple stories. There is an army of Mac/Apple zealots who will lash out with their mod points at anything remotely perceived as 'anti-Apple' and 'smite the unbeliever'...
I see that you've already been smitten with a +5 Insightful.
No. It's the command in TECO to write a novel for you. However, you need to remember to press the ESC key twice at the end of the command and not the RETURN key.
...the decision was not made simply to annoy you personally.
Actually, if you read the unpublished section 3 of the Official Secrets Act, you will see that one of the purposes was to personally annoy "Richard W.M. Jones".
Make the mascot a Zebra, and the English speakers will suddenly pick up on it.
Depends on if you pronounce zebra with a long "e", as is the typical American pronunciation, or if you pronounce it with a short "e" as is typical in other places.
While trained monkeys have their place, I think they need too much supervision. If they get out of their monkey experience, they are lost and grind to a halt.
This is exactly the wrong approach. The important think is to learn how to learn languages. Learn LISP. Learn Pascal. Learn Haskall. Learn C. Learn SmallTalk. Each of these languages will teach you something different and you will learn something new from each language. Even if you only ever use ${your choice of language}, it will make you a better programmer.
While the "religious leaders" may feel this way, if you actually read the books (O.T and N.T. of the Bible, and I suspect that the Koran would be similar), sex is not demonized. The Old Testament has a few things to say about who you shouldn't have sex with and avoiding sex during menstruation, it really places few other limits.
In the New Testament Paul, who is commonly thought to be a prude, says that husbands and wives shouldn't withhold sex from each other.

I only read newspapers for the hilarity of their inaccuracy and the absurdity of what they leave in and what they leave out.
So you are frequenting slashdot for its journalistic excellence, lack of absurdity, and total adherence to the truth.
Maybe the GP reads Slashdot for the same reason as he/she reads newspapers.

how the hell do you turn a fully 2d primary source into 3d? and 3d that doesn't make you want to scream 'FAKE!'...
I think that I saw it done on Star Trek once.
...fully specialized generic objects...
Maybe it's just me, but I have no idea what this means.

People have been predicting the demise of Apple since about 1976. Eventually, they will be right, but I'm not holding my breath.
If you've looked at any programs in SmallTalk, another old OO language, you will see the source of the Objective-C syntax.
In programming languages, "ugly and non-intuitive" depends a lot on what you are used to.
While trained monkeys have their place, I think they need too much supervision. If they get out of their monkey experience, they are lost and grind to a halt.
Then you should spank them.
GPL or BSD licensing? There might even need to be separate services for advocates of GPL v2 and GPL v3.
That would be the manufacturer's logo.
What if they run Linux, MacOS, Windows, OpenBSD, etc at home?
There's a difference between a long-haul airline pilot and the pilots in the short-haul commuter/feeder airlines.

The best way to learn is to read The Daily WTF and then don't do what is described in the articles.
