IMO it makes sense for servers and especially Apple's Xserve 1U rackmount server. If Terrasoft can ship these Xserve without OS X server (a retail price of $999) than an Xserve with YDL 2.3 can do anything OS X server can, except it costs less, but I doubt Apple will ever let Terrasoft sell Macs without OS X and for less than Apple itself.
Well, if the 2nd law of Thermodynamics can be broken in small closed environments over a short period of time, which can't it change in the history of the Universe. IMO there's not a more 'likely' candidate to be wrong. Both c and the 2nd law are very thorougly tested. So if there's a problem, it can be either one that's wrong.
Just keep in mind that science results can be wrong, or falsely interpreted. Remember element 118? It was published in Phys. Rev. Lett. and the authors had to retract it. Just like the 'cold-fusion' thing. Other news: 2nd Law of Thermodynamics seems to be broken in a small closed environment over short period of time: G Wang et al. 2002 Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 050601
the country you live in doesn't call it piracy. The thing is the same as with the DMCA for instance. It's illegal to have a region free DVD in the US, but here in The Netherlands it's legal. It just has to do with the way you call it. If Malaysia changes its laws so using copied software by students is allowed, you can no longer talk about piracy, because it doesn't exist. It may exist according to US laws, but it doesn't according to the malaysian ones. It's all a matter of how you wrap it legally.
So what they're trying to do if I understand it correctly is to get the location of the person using the mobile and only tansmit the signal in his direction, unlike the normal 360 degrees done by other systems. It sounds nice, if they can do it. It would mean a lot less 'un-needed' signals through the air. It's like using a satelite dish for an uplink to the satelite.
MacOS X and it's core Darwin are based on BSD. BSD is one of the two flavours in Unix. There's System V and there's BSD. So technically Linux doesn't qualify as Unix while MacOS X does. So Apple doesn't have to look at all the x86 boxes running Linux to say they're number 1 in selling a Unix operating system. They only have to look at the other BSD/System V sales.
It is indeed interesting to see what this'll do if it becomes US law. Remember KaZaA moved to the Cayman Islands? If the MPAA would hack the KaZaA server they'd be commiting a crime outside the US. Man, you could call it terrorism supported by US law.
I went last night with my brother. It was showing for the first night here in The Netherlands, but there were only 15 people watching it. I can't understand why there weren't more people, but it was nice and quiet;-)
In my opinion, no country, how powerful and rich they may be will ever be able to cough up the money for a mission to mars, let alone the things that might come after that. So I think the best way to do it is to make a world wide coalition to get ppl sent to mars. If we can get the ESA, NASA, and NASDO into this and perhaps even the russians, (they have a huge knowledge on living in weightless conditions), this project might have a better chance than when the US would do it alone.
Of course they speak English. English is THE language for the scientific world. Another thing, CERN doesn't only attract ppl from Europe, given itssize and the new LHC due in 2006 it'll attract particle physicists from all over the world.

It's not a case of RTFM anymore, it's more like RTFEULA.

Yes, but the DVD will be region 2 only, so all region 1 people need the DeCSS software

If the USSR still existed we would have been on Mars within 5 years.
