Composition should be favored to inheritance. Reason: If you change the base class, you probably gotta change all the other classes that inherit from that.

Carmack might've kept OpenGL alive in the game industry. But there's so many scientific / industrial applications in OpenGL... it's not going anywhere anytime.
Apple doesn't compete in the low end (except for the eMac and maybe the iBook), really. Powermacs are priced pretty comparably to a equivalent dual Xeon or what have you.
I've got an old Pentium 1 266-MMX laptop with 64 megs of RAM. I've currently got Debian on there. Would Slackware be a better choice for the amount of memory that I have?

Photoshop (and probably lots of other editors) lets you record actions (like resizing pictures) and then choosing a bunch of files to perform the action on.
Here's a better example: I had to add a watermark to about 10,000 product pictures, then make medium, small, and really small copies of them (and name them appropriately, so image.png became image_med.png, image_small.png and image_thumb.png). The watermark needed to be 10% up from the bottom right corner and could not be any larger than half the width of the picture.
imagemagick made that a piece of cake, one command and waited a couple hours and it was done.
Redhat Linux Workstation at Compusa: 99$.
You forgot to mention that it's freely downloadable. And, if you don't want to download it, you can install that purchased copy on unlimited number of computers.
When was the last time you used Linux? GNOME/KDE are VERY bloated these days. Hell, there talking about adding blogging into the UI.
Weird. I thought you were talking about Linux, but then you brought up window managers. Keep in mind that Linux is a kernel. Not a complete operating system.
Windows runs fine in 128mb, Linux with GNOME requires about the same.
Linux gives you the freedom of choosing a window manager (there are WMs other than Gnome and KDE, you know) , or even not running X at all. Let's see you try to run a mailserver/webserver/printserver/etc on a 486 machine running Windows.
Most people dont care.
Some do though. It's great to be able to customize an application to fit your needs.
Since when can Linux scale past four CPUs with a customized version that costs major $$$ for support?
What? I don't have a clue what you're saying here.

They're suing someone who violated the terms of the NDA. End of story.
The guy works for Valve now, not Blizzard.

I'd like to know too.
It renders wrong for me several times a day. There's a big problem.
WTF
Linux has support for wireless ethernet cards. Yellow Dog Linux (what the OP recommended) has support for the Airport card as well.
I hate people who spread stupid stuff. Like you.
Lol.

If hot coffee is for drinking, and the supposed coffee that they gave you was 1000 degrees, how are you supposed to drink that?

It's hard to create good art/science if you you have to spend the majority of your waking hours "working for a living".
If you have vsync enabled, yes.

Why'd it freeze? Check the logs.
This has to be a troll. If not, dumbest post I've read in a long time.
Differences in the pool are decided by thousandths of a second now, not hundredths.
The point is to recognize the fastest swimmer, not to recognize the person who is "the better swimmer".
1) Why would that matter for a personal buying decision?
2) You can secure it easily.
3) It's expensive, not sure what you mean by hard to come by. Perhaps you mean that there aren't as many spare parts around?
4) And Linux doesn't have a stigma?
5) This is for early 15 inch powerbooks. Not going to be an issue for newer ones.
Yes, Ruby is good. Learn it. Everything is an object.
Wut? Did the baby steal the money?
I'm so confused.
Security through obscurity is not good.
And you're assuming that OSS is not the best quality stuff you can get.
JavaServer Faces does the webcontrols/validators you mentioned. Plus java has all the APIs you could want.
You take care of a decently-built car, it can easily last 20 years.
I'd like to see you make some brakes that would last ten years, let alone 50.

It would be great if terminals just worked all the time, without having to muck around with stty though.
I had this problem a lot on my iBook.

Explain to me how developing software that solves the same problem as another existing software package is not developing software?
Has a useful purpose in evolutionary terms, perhaps, not necessarily a useful purpose in today's world.
