Lots of libraries allow you to embed a perl interpreter in a C program... I suspect that a number of linux email clients could be altered to run such a script as part of their "retrieve_mail()" functions.

MacOSX's "lickable" interface was derided by some graphics designers as "too distracting." Apple responded by adding a grey scale color scheme-- which removed much of the gloss. Will there be a similarly muted interface available in Longhorn?
According to the Dune Encyclopedia House Washington defeated House Japan in 14225 BG (1945 AD). Roughly, 2000 AD Corresponds to 14200 BG. The Butlerian Jihad was begun in 200 BG (16000 AD), 10,009 years before the events in "Dune".
The beaches-- or to be precise, land that is submerged at high tide, belongs to the people. Not to any private entity. This legal tradition dates from the time of Justinian. If people want to congregate on beaches, ajoining private property, that's their business.
Now here's a golf course acting in a manner that happens to deny public usage of that beach.
As for "protecting the golf course from erosion", I'd say that building a golf course in that location, in such a manner that "erosion control" necessitated the ruination of a beach, was a pretty dumb business decision.
The SX-64 page mentions-- "Ah, the DX. That was the american version which had 2 disk drives. (The UK gets short changed again! - Akuma). Our european version had one plus a hole marked 'Storage'. Very useful, as long as you don't store disks in there; the magnetic fields generated by the SX64's drive tends to wipe them clean or corrupt them at the very least. Nice piece of design. "

BSD isn't always the appropriate license. Let us suppose that a intelligence agency wants to study security in modern operating systems. The operating system may require that extensions to that operating system be released under a specific license-- GPL, perhaps.
Now, I know that quite a number of slashdotters choose operating systems based on the governing license, but sometimes other considerations must apply.
If a a governemnt agency wants to reduce the vulnerability of existing Windows machines, its modifications might be governed by a Microsoft shared source licence. If it wants to experiment with Linux kernel research, its actions might be governed by the GPL.
People aren't infected with the variola virus anymore (Well, not officially...), even though a good portion of the world is not vaccinated.
Plenty of potential hosts-- yet there is no epidemic, and smallpox is considered extinct in the wild. Why? Because a couple of decades ago, most everyone was vaccinated. No hosts, no new infections, no virus, no more need to vaccinate.
And yet, before vaccination, smallpox was very virulent, and quite deadly to its hosts.
I can't believe this. Slashdot readers not knowing about LaTeX?

Members of the public are not allowed to record the arguments. or even to take notes. Accredited journalists are allowed a bit more leeway, but only Alderson Reporting is allowed to transcribe or record.
Moreover, Alderson gets a short period of exclusivity before the transcripts are posted to the supreme court website. Before this, a copy is deposited in the Supreme Court Library, but readers are not allowed to copy the document. You can purchase transcripts for ~$150 ($2.85/page?), but Alderson demands permission for all excerpting. ("Permission routinely granted for short excerpts.")
I think that the copies extant are probably derived from the appellants copy. I'm not sure whether Alderson plans to sue...

Of course, the Microsoft campaign conveniently ignores the fact that on a Mac, if you don't like Appleworks, you can always buy Microsoft Office v.X, which I've heard is rather spiffy. TeXShop is even better... If you don't like Netscape, you can always run Omniweb, or even Microsoft Internet Explorer.
I'm curious as to how much product liability insurance premiums will increase if thermite is involved. And what of the individuals who would seek to incorporate these anti-tampering devices into pipe bombs?

Actually, the 6888x FPU was never emulated, except by third party extensions, SoftFPU among them. I seem to remember that the 6888x series used 80 bit floating point numbers, but the PowerPC 60x and 750 chips use 64 bit floating point numbers.
SoftFPU began as a 68000 floating point emulators.
Instead of using the terms 24-bit color and 16 bit color, Apple, (and therefor mac users) uses the terms "millions" and "thousands". (For lower bit depths, older macs used "256 colors", "16 colors" "4 colors" and "Black and White")
If you are talking about the Launcher, that was a shareware App that Apple liked and offered as an optional tool in System 7, as a way to let your young kid run apps on your Mac without being able to delete your system files. Since many schools who used Macs used the Launcher to lock down their desktops and prevent studens from hacking their boxen, a lot of teens in the 90's assumed that the Launcher is what MacOS was, and wrote long screeds on message boards about how "restrictive" the OS is.
The restrictive interface was "At Ease." (I remember using the built in file deletion features of Microsoft Word to delete the "At Ease" preference file , thus exorcising the broken interface from the computer. Ah memories...) Launcher was an attempt to bring the "single click to launch" feature of "At Ease" to users of the Finder. It was kind of clumsy compared to third party application launchers.
(Why an application launcher? The standard mac technique of storing apps within folders made some sense organizationally, but searching through folders to launch a program is a bit of pain. So after "System 7" most mac users had an aliases folder containing references to frequently used applications. The various application launcher organized such "aliases folders".)
By the way, Apple doesn't produce shareware. Some Apple things are "free as in beer", though. I think "At Ease" was actually sold as a commercial product.
Imagine coding a OpenGL application. You have windows for the compiler controls and debugger. You have source code in another couple of windows. In another app, you have a three-d rendering of some object that will be incorporated in to the app. In yet another app is a pdf rendering of some API reference. And, you have a third party hex editor that you're using to view a texture file.
Without MDI, you can arrange the windows in any possible manner. With MDI, some applications are guaranteed to take up a rectangular are of screen. If the MDI application has more than one window, it's almost guaranteed that some screen real estate will be hogged by a empty, useless bit of root window.
MDI assumes you want to work with only one application at a time. That's an assumption taht may or may not be true. On the mac, if you get confused, you can "hide" the extra apps, or minimize the windows into the dock...
was to kill off the windows MDI-- with it's horrendous, ugly grey root window. My ability to use a third party editor with a third party hex editor with my compiler shouldn't be hampered by one designers misguided attempt to use MDI.
