What's this? why, it looks like links to download the source for darwin. And whats that? why, it appears that you can peruse just about everything, save for Quartz.
Note the obfuscated URL. truly, apple is going to great links to hide the source for OS X.
I won't even mention the CVS server.

Seriosuly. My grandfather just turned 72, and do you want to guess which one of us has arthritis?
Yeah, Me. Im 21. I know when its going to rain (pain in my knees, thanks to surgery) and when its going to snow (pain in my elbow, thanks to dislocations and a break). I can get out and job for about 1 mile before i fall over and light up a cigarette, and He's been running four miles a day longer then I and my parents have been alive.
Hell, just for kicks, i went running with him a while ago. I couldn't keep up. I wish i coudl be in that good of shape when i am his age.
IANAL, but according to the supreme court, coprorations do indeed have rights.
In the case of Santa Clara County v Southern Pacific Railroad (1886), the supreme court used the 14th amendment to define corporations as "persons" and ruled that California could not tax corporations differently than individuals. It followed that, as legal "persons," corporations had First Amendment rights as well.
Good luck trying to slashdot the UB webserver. Our MAIL server is a freaking cluster of 4 Sun UltraSparcs. I dunno what the web server is, but I would imagine its very, very large. Perhaps a Beowolf Cluster.;)
Oh, and its not techincally University of Buffalo. Its University AT Buffalo. As in, State University of New York at Buffalo
But I use Key Bank. I frequently use their web banking with Mozilla (Well, Chimera, but tis the same renderer) and have never ha any problems. Being a bank, I would presume they offer credit cards, but it would only help if you have a key bank in your area.
I've talked to some of the people who have coded for citibank, and they tell me (although I haven't tested it myself) that their web software should work just fine with mozilla.
And now for somethign completley different . . .

Also, keep in mind that SAPDB is available under the GPL, and runs under linux. Its only a matter of time until someone puts in the work to make it run on OS X.
After reading this, i recalled an article i had read in outside magazine a few years ago. It had a run down of cool little tools and such to use when cooking on a camping trip, as well was some excellent recipes that one could make while in the backcountry.
After wasting some valuable work time digging through their website, I found it was the July 1996 issue, and the article can be found here, in the online archives. This is the reason i love the net. I threw these magazines away a long time ago, but i still found the article. Digression aside, its an excellent article, complete with gear to buy, tips for cooking outdoors, and some amazign recipes. The article is from 97, so most of the gear may be out of date, but its still excellent
Seriously. Where's the portability at? Will.net apps written for windows similarly only work with the "windows gui toolkit" (or whatever)?
Actually, yes. Its the System.Windows.Forms namespace. It contains all the objects and classes for GUI apps on windows, and it does only work on windows. The rest of the.net stuff will work (to my knowledge) on any system with the framework installed, but all the GUI stuff is windows only.
Coldstone is a product put out by ambrosia software (it runs on both Windows and OS X) that can be used to create your own standablone games on either platform.
it comes with a ton of artwork on Cd, plus you can easily import your own. I've played with it a bit, and so far have been very impressed.
Interestingly, Pillars of Garendall was created entirely using coldstone.
This sort of thign is great, it provides an easy way to build a standalone game, without coding. Of course, you won't be building the next Unreal Tournament with it, but it does what it does nicely.
Microsoft Office.
She's a professor at a univeristy, and as such, frequently writes proposals, grants, papers, et cetera. Since the entire department uses Word for papers and Power Point for presentations, she's stuck.
I figure that i could easily switch her over to linux given the chance. I get at least 5 phone calls a week for some type of computer related problems just for windows, so any support i would have to do for linux would be more or less equivalent.
Unfortunatley, because of the lack of a really good, 100% compatable office suite for linux, I'm stuck feeding her microsoft habit.
Actually, federal law does state that NO ONE can require your SSN for a transaction. Its just that most utilities and such need a Unique ID to represent the customer, and its easier to just use the SSN then it is to generate one.

install darwin, and XFree86, and you have the core of OS X. sure, you cant use alot of the Cocoa Based stuff, but youc an still use a lot of the Unix based programs for OS X.

For a somewhat limited selection, but all DVD and really cheap, try Discount Anime DVD
For a truly excellent selection (and a great hentai section, or so I have been told) in both VHS and DVD, try Right Stuf
For a store with decent selection, plus some good soundtracks and posters and all kinds of stuff (free anime themed email too, if thats your thing), you can go to Anime Nation
Those are the really good online stores that i am aware of. You might not be able to find direct from japan stuff, or some of the more esoteric titles, but you can still find a good selection.
This really helps me. Most textbook prices are insanely high, especially for Computer science textbooks. Places like half.com, efollet, and amazon are a great place to find cheap, used textbooks that i need for most of my courses. In one semester, I saved almost 200 bucks buy buying used books online. It realy is a great thing for poor college students, like me.

Well, sort of. Actually, all the.net langauges (including ASP, but thats going to be written in C# or VB.net anyway) is compiled down to something called MSIL. The first time the appliation is run, its compiled down to native code using the Common Language Runtime. (CLR). Every time after that, the compiled version is run, unless the MSIL version has been changed, in which case it gets compiled again. The first time a.net program is run, there is some lag time, becuase the app needs to be compiled, but it isnt noticable except for really large applications. So there is a Just in time compiler, it just doesnt get invoked every time the application runs. The CLR is cool, becuae it measn that any.net language (or, indeed anylanguage that can access the CLR) has access to all the same system functions. Not more Calling Windows API's for VB programmers, its all built in. Basically, ti comes down to the language you feel more comfortable with, since both VB and C# can do the same thing.
