  1. Re:Online bookmarks. on Interesting Concepts in Search Engines · · Score: 1

    I remember my first page:
    My fav site on the internet.
    A list on unrelated pages all liked from one spot.
    I wondering if there any of those left. And how the search engine would cope with them.


    Cope? It does cope. The links aren't all unrelated, they have one major thing in common: they all were chosen by you. What the engine will "percieve" to be a "relation" or a "category" will not neccesarily be limited by currently existing official collections of such.

    And another point. The article states that new categories can be found. How is the "crawler" going to define the name of the new categories?

    Well, once it identifies a "clear and distinct" category, a cursory glance by an intelligent, unbiased librarian should be sufficient to produce a label. Or just use linkwords or meta tags or whatever we use now to come up with a few contenders...big deal.

  2. Re:Here it is, for all you MSIE trolls on A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux · · Score: 1

    Haven't noticed any of that locking up behavior in my years of using IE 5 on several classic Mac OS's, and the few versions released on OS X. In fact, thinking of all the applications I've used over the years, IE5/Mac stands as one of the most dependable.

    On the bottom of the page:

    We are also beginning the implementation of a new auction site dedicated to areas of nuclear procurement other than fuel. We expect to be online within weeks at www.nukeauction.com.

  4. Re:Command Line in OSX on Why Port from UNIX to OS X? · · Score: 1

    Dude, virtual screens aren't some kind of low-level deal breaker. It's a quick hack. Hide some windows and show some other ones. For cryin' out loud, I'm sure someone could pound it out in a day or two. Also, there's a virtual screen doohickey for OS 8/9, too.

  5. Re:power and simplicity on Mac OS X Officially Previewed · · Score: 1

    But on their much-hyped new web site, they do mention UNIX, at some length:

    "Mac OS X Is Unix-Savvy

    Mac OS X supports POSIX file system semantics and NFS file sharing, as well as standard services like telnet and FTP, allowing easy operability with UNIX systems and applications.

    The system's kernel, which does the heavy lifting to support all those rich applications, is based on Mach 3.0 from Carnegie-Mellon University and FreeBSD 3.2 (derived from the University of California at Berkeley's BSD 4.4-Lite), the most highly regarded core technologies from two of the most widely acclaimed OS projects of the modern era. We also took the famous Apache web server--which runs over half the websites on the Internet--and made it friendly enough to use on your desktop for personal file sharing."
