In classic, the apps run as a single process (TruBlueEnv). If one app in classic misbehaves, it could bring down all of classic.. With X11.app, Xquartz is a separate process. xterm is a seperate process. xemacs is a seperate process.

Well, the BSD code doesn't obligate a user to make derivative sources Free. Nor does the XFree86 license (but they seem confused about it).
However, Apple has gone ahead, and released some of their changes. MacOSX is nonfree, Darwin is free. Safari is nonfree, but Webcore is free. Quicktime client is nonfree, but "Streaming Server" is free...
Why not? The Mac still has a reputation (whether deserved or not) for having a spiffy interface. Its major competitor is built on closed source. Its secondary competitors are not well supported on the desktop.
Nope. The parent post linked to a site that sells IEEE1394a cables. IEEE1394b (or Firewire 2) uses 9 pin (rather than six pin) cables (in the Apple implementation).
1394b also defines a new high speed mode called S1600, with a data rate of 1572.9 Mbit/s. The signal can be carried by copper wire, glass fibre, or plastic fibre. The maximum cable length is now 100m, rather than 4.5m.
This is not to say that Apple computers can transmit at S1600 over 100m distances, but this article indicates that 1394b does not always imply 800 Mb/s over 4.5 m of copper.
I'm guessing that your web browser is based on a more sophisticated API.
Oh that's right-- there's a particularly lame browser called "WWW" (IIRC) which numbers each link, and link traversal is accomplished by typing in that number. It's obsolete...

The only fantasy series of moderately recent vintage I've enjoyed in Terry Pratchett's discworld series. I suppose one could jump on the JK Rowling bandwagon-- but those are for kids, and thus don't have the literary merit of say, "Beastmaster of Gor".

They could use linux, but use Palladium, or other nefarious means to "sign" code so that MS Office (and possibly, their version of Linux itself) would only run on a properly validated system. I'm not sure if it would be worth the accompaning legal hassle of fighting off Richard Stallman and FSF.
MIcrosoft could use BSD (taking some advantage out of whatever reputation is associated with *BSD code-- be it security, "professionalism", or code quality, but unless Microsoft releases code (a la Apple), the PR effect will be muted.

15%? Sounds like British VAT. There are some in the Bush cabinet that want want to impose a similar tax in the U.S. replacing the Income Tax system.Of course,the states get income data from the IRS, so odds are, we'd somehow end up with a >40% sale tax...

Dixon also wrote The New Dinosaurs about the continued evoluton of the dinosaurs (at the expense of the mammals).
Apple justified the high cost of 10.2 ($129, no upgrade) in part because of the added applications. Apple makes money on its hardware, which are already high priced. To a certain extent, this is offset by the included software.
A company has to charge for its goods and services-- but if it raises its prices continually, in the face of competition, it will eventually lose sales, and make less of a profit.

Effective terrorism relies on surprise-- thus many terrorists will have concealed their identities. The only effective way to protect yourself is to stop intercourse with other humans. Don't go to public places. Don't go to weddings. And finally, don't tick off Mr. Mobbs.
Nothing in the article suggests that the court will grant a writ of certiori. It takes 4 justices to decide to take up a case, and it's not altogether clear whether O'Connor even considers the case worthy of review. It's a minor, administrative action.
Cyclic redundancy code detects all single and double-bit errors and ensures detection of 99.998% of all possible errors.
That simply means that out of 1 of every 50,000 error will get through. Considering that the device is designed to transport 150 million bytes per second, that's not so impressive.
Population of United Kingdom: 59,778,002 Population of United States: 280,562,489 ( both estimates circa Jul 2002)
OK. The US (of America) have a population that's approximately 4.7 times that of the UK. Now assuming that the death rate in the US due to handguns was proportional to that of the UK, less than 70 people would have died in the US, rather than the 25000 that actually were killed.
But, you say, the differences can be attributed to different population densities... The UK has a staggering number of people crammed into a comparatively tiny group of islands. Unless you mean to imply that rural, sparsely populated areas are responsible for the bulk of gun related deaths, the statistic show that American residents kill more people with guns than do UK residents.
A very nice IDE, and a very nioe compiler. Their C++ compiler was complied with most of the C++ standard (much more so than did Visual C++).
Their "Codewarrior for Linux" was IMHO, halfbaked-- Codewarrior implemented in Motif- but packaged with gcc. Their debugger-- gone, replaced with DDD. The nice syntax highlighting-- gone as well. The optimizing compiler-- replaced with gcc (although the price was cut as well).
It didn't work well well with autotools, and so much of the ease of use associated with theIDE was offset by the difficulty of converting to Codewarriors project based format.
As for SIOUX, similar libraries were available for "Think C" and it's successor, Symantec C++
John Poindexter broke many laws, as head of the NSC during the Reagan administration. Does the "Iran Contra scandal" ring a bell? He was tried, and convicted for lying to Congress, although the conviction was later overturned on the grounds that he was granted immunity.

Pornography tends to popularize hitherto rare, esoteric, or expensive bits of communications technology. It subsidizes the industry.
For example, the first prerecorded videotape was pornographic. 8mm film technology took off with the widespread availabilty of stag films
