Tasks are preemptively scheduled using whatever processors are available to the system. It is not necessary for a machine to be equipped with more than one processor for an application to take advantage of the preemptive process scheduling facilities provided by Multiprocessing Services. Even if a machine is only equipped with one processor, it is possible for an application to schedule and run many simultaneous preemptive tasks.
Intel Macs can start from a Firewire disk with no trouble, but the partition table must be the GUID Partition Table, meaning the same disk can't also boot a PowerPC Mac (Open Firmware doesn't support it) even if the install on the disk is universal. PowerPC Macs can read, but not boot from, external disks with a GUID Partiton Table in Mac OS X 10.4.4 and later.
10.3 -> 10.3.9 have run on all machines that support 10.3.
You're probably thinking of 10.2.7 (G5) vs 10.2.7.
10.2.7 (G5) shipped on the first PowerMac G5s while 10.2.7 shipped on the first PowerBooks that had USB2 ports. There was no 10.2.7 updater available for 10.2.6: 10.2.7 was only available on machines it came pre-installed on.
10.2.8 came in two flavours too, 10.2.8 (G5) and 10.2.8.
When iTunes 4.0 was released, introducing the Sharing feature 5 people could connect simultaneously and stream from your machine. There was also an option to connect to any IP address and use the iTunes sharing from that.
A huge number of sites sprang up listing people's computers with iTunes sharing running on it. Up to 5 people could connect to these machines and listen to music at once.
Shortly afterwards, Apple released iTunes 4.0.1 which sends all iTunes sharing data with a TTL of 1 to ensure that it stays on the local network and won't pass through a router.
There has always been a limit of 5 simultaneous users. There is no limit to 5 daily users and never has been. In fact, iTunes will automatically disconnect a user that's been idle for more than 30 minutes if a 6th user tries to connect: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=930 49
The raids were conducted with rarely used search warrants known as Anton Piller orders which are used exclusively in civil proceedings. No police were involved, and the record industry sent its own investigators to carry out the search and seize evidence.
It'll probably be impossible to exploit on Mac OS X, as the Mac OS X free() calls detect double frees and handle them gracefully.
That's why you get messages like this in your console log: *** malloc[7358]: error for object 0x38b730: Double free or this: *** malloc[7722]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x55a020; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug

Microsoft dropped support for MSNP7 and earlier. MSNP8 based clients are fine. What this basically means is that SSL logins are the only ones allowed (via Passport), as this was added in MSNP8.
Another multi-service IM application for Mac OS X Proteus will have the Yahoo! connectivity restored in an official release later today. Until then, there is an updated Yahoo plugin available from this forum thread.
Additionally, Proteus 3.02 and later shouldn't have any problems with the MSN network, provided Microsoft don't have any tricks up their sleeve.

Lets think about it, assuming each song is worth $5 (a bit generous but let's be nice...), that makes around 12 million songs. With each song being around 3 MB, that'd be 36,000,000 MB... which is about 34 TB.
Now you can't tell me that any ISP lets customers have that much storage, and they would probably notice if someone, or a small group, was contributing to 34 TB of traffic.
Sounds like someone might be overestimating by a bit don't you think?
I know of no legitimate web site that requires third party domains.

When you translate an application it is not just translating text strings in it. You also obviously need to update documentation, online help, etc. This, as a lot of people have pointed out, is "simply" a matter of changing text strings that are external the the main source code, and referenced by the application throughout the code.
However, as well as translating text to another language, there is a lot more work to be done. Images in the interface may need to be changed, sounds used in the application, etc, may also need to be modified for the appropriate localisation. The entire user interface must be examined for culturally specific items and they need to be modified for the appropriate target market.
To allow for localisation, an application should be internationalised as it is written. How this is best accomplished is determined by the Operating System you're writing for. Most operating systems will have internationalisation features to some extent.
For example, applications written using Cocoa for Mac OS X are easily designed for localisation at a later date. Looking inside any Mac OS X Cocoa (and some Carbon applications that use packages) you will see folders named "English.lproj", "French.lproj", etc (inside Contents/Resources). These folders are how Mac OS X can automatically localise things. Any application written using the guidelines posted by Apple is ready to be localised without any changes to the code. All that needs to happen is the modifications to the interface resource files, this can include changing the complete layout of dialog boxes, as well as simple translation of text strings.
Overall, any application should be coded as if it will be internationalised. Even if you do not intend to do internationalisation, it enforces separation between the code and the interface and resources, which is almost always a good idea.
How can they tell that? It looks to me as if the links point straight at the real site, instead of using some kind of redirect. Of course they can tell it for the ones that hit their own cache, but what about the others?
Google occasionally have links that go through a redirector. I'm not sure how it chooses who to give these links to, but I have seen them fairly rarely.
I assume it's a way of just taking a sample of what links were clicked, and using that to guage usefulness of search algorithms. They could use it to tell how often people click the first link, or a link on the first page, or end up many pages into the search, and use that to improve the search algorithms.

Nope. Mac OS 9 could do pre-emptive multitasking in a very limited set of circumstances (basically threads).
