I took used brake rotors to my local scrap/recycling yard a few months ago (in the US). I couldn't get the cash without presenting my driver's license, which is now on record with their office.
It was only about 6 bucks work of metal, so they paid in cash - but they still needed a record of who I really am.
IIRC, a hybrid Quake1/2 engine was the basis for Half-Life's engine. Their license with id Software may not allow them to release the source, even though the Q1&2 sources were released quite a few years ago.
"Let's tell them it's Unix-like, they'll think it IS Unix!"
As of Leopard, OS X is certified UNIX.
Leopard is an Open Brand UNIX 03 Registered Product, conforming to the SUSv3 and POSIX 1003.1 specifications for the C API, Shell Utilities, and Threads. Since Leopard can compile and run all your existing UNIX code, you can deploy it in environments that demand full conformance -- complete with hooks to maintain compatibility with existing software.
Previous versions had full or nearly full UNIX underpinnings, it just didn't meet certification requirements.
After the research has been done and the ships have been built, the cost of actually launching humans into space is relatively trivial.
Assuming, of course, you have a cost-effective launch vehicle.
The shuttle costs too much overall and requires too much time & maintenance to turn around between missions. It was supposed to be cheap because you could re-use it. When you spend hundreds of millions of dollars to prep it for each launch, the re-use is not cheap.
Actually we're both right. Debian wanted to call it Firefox, but remove/change the logo due to the trademark issue. Mozilla said they couldn't use the name without using the logo.
Then it became Firefox, and Debian didn't like that and called it IceWeasel.
No, Debian was forced to rename it due to their stance on trademarks.
The Firefox logo is trademarked, so Debian doesn't consider it to be Free and will not include it as part of its distribution. Mozilla claims that using the Firefox name without the official branding is a trademark violation.
Furthermore, Mozilla claims that if Debian runs any patches to the version of Firefox included with Debian distros, it has to run them by Mozilla first for approval.
I had the same thought the other day. There definitely are conflict of interest concerns there, but ignoring those he may be a better pick than the rabidly anti-MS crowd thinks.
As I recall, that was a split between the full 32-bit MS OSes (NT 3.51, NT4, Win2K) and the DOS-based ones (Win9x, ME) which mixed 16- and 32-bit code on the Pentium Pro architecture.
Intel assumed, when they taped out the PPro, that the whole world would be full 32-bit by the time the CPU hit the market, so they optimized for pure 32-bit code. As a result, Win9x lagged in performance on those chips as compared to its NT counterpart.
If you only use it to find certain strings, yes, you'll find lots of "irrelevant" stuff. Happens with Google too.
That's why you create your searches to actually look for the right stuff. Spotlight goes far beyond basic keyword searches. Again, just like with Google.
Just like any other tool, it's only useful if you know how to use it properly.
DOC, XLS, PPT, PDF are all binary files. Even ODF and OOXML files are binary, as they're zipfiles containing the actual data. Address books - how do you search your GNOME/KDE address book from the command line? What about all your email?
But no one would ever need to search any of those, would they?

Only the QB has a radio in his helmet. It is only a receiver, it is not a transmitter.
No transmitters. Only receivers.
The XFL gave us the "over the field" camera on cables. Which, combined with HD, represents a huge leap in field coverage.
What aluminum? PEX is plastic.
Copper doesn't rust either. Everything else you say about PEX matches what I've read though.

Look at it this way: they saved you the trouble of "finding" all the problems in the plumbing, and you can replace all that copper with PEX.
You mean the Soviet Russian economy is based upon nudie bars?
I'm a free man and I haven't had a conjugal visit in 6 months.

There's the thespian arts as well.

You assume that the moderators all think alike.

Outside the US, anyway.
Inside the US, it matters not what the handset maker's software can do. Verizon cripples them all and puts their own shitware & UI on them.
But from his perspective in his cell, aren't the bars in parallel, not series?
In other words, "Old white guy runs traditional political campaign" doesn't sell newspapers.

No, they occur when the plane ceases flight.
Because legally, that is the amount the check represents. The numerical representation is defined as the "courtesy" amount.
If the two amounts differ, the amount written out in longhand is the amount the bank recognizes. Always.
