See, Apple has some real Old School engineers around. Folks that cut their teeth on nastiness like 1/4 track steppers and laser-marked disks, and that moved on to modern crypto. (And if you don't know what I'm talking about, just move along, lad.)
Old. School. Hollywood. Engineering.

Signed Kernel - I wouldn't be suprised to see Apple use some kind of integrety check on the kernel during boot. The idea is you can still run any OS you want, but OS X (as part of startup) would check the kernel (again, maybe using the trusted computing stuff) to make sure it hasn't been modified. That way if people try to modify it to get around ideas 1 or 2, OS X wouldn't boot.
Aha. I realize that the BSD ain't the GPL, but having a cryptographically signed kernel kind of goes against the idea of modifying it yourself, which up to now, Apple has been perfectly ok with.
Yes, any second now the date tree is going to escape its pen and go on a murderous rampage. It will also change genders in order to breed with itself and produce more deadly date trees.
Outlook good at least in the corporate setting in which I've used it. I love how people can email you meetings and it'll get put on your schedule and waht not.
If you're sitting at the box, Ctrl-Alt-F1 >> log in, kill `pgrep xscreensaver`. If you're not sitting at the box, open a ssh session kill `pgrep xscreensaver`. Sheesh. How does xscreensaver decide if you are an "admin" user? root seems to be a pretty good choice, but then again maybe you are on a system without a root user and just some users with sudo access. So then "administrators" are determined by the/etc/sudoers file. Or maybe you have a wheel or admin group and anyone in that group should be allowed to unlock the screen.
I don't know that it is fake necessarily but it definitely can't be determiend on the basis of this article. The whole part about it being leaked seems to be based on one parenthetical note
(Update: A reader who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous just demonstrated to me that the software is, in fact, already available on Internet software piracy sites.)
It was a power outage in the datacenter that held the email servers, not in the actual WSJ offices. You'll note that the article mentions some people still having email during the outage cause theres was on a different server.
Actually its just a pun on misconception. If anything, it means "myths and/or mis-conceptions" not beliefs about myths, although if you didn't know it was a pun it would be easy to parse wrong. On a related note, Robert Asprin rules, and should probably have a patent on that word.
If you are really that talented you should have no problem doing this. This has several advantages over a real internship. For instance, most interns don't hack any kernels or optimize any compilers. With this though you've got some leeway and choice.

As far as movies go, it almost certainly drew more people to read his work than Contact.
I sure hope so, since Contact was written by Carl Sagan, not Asimov.
Some day maybe.

perhaps this is a anti-/.ing measure?
Here is the formula for the review of incemental updates to Unix-alike OSes.
1) Describe the OS, being sure to mention its Unix origins. If the OS is not Linux-based, mention Linux.
2) Comment on the weird piece of hardware by brand name in your box that made it crash
3) List the new and improved features in the kernel and the daemons. (Note: security patches are feautures too)
4) Base everything else on how easy it was to install.
Are you sure they weren't referring to these?
Run Away! Run awaaaay!
He did but in a roundabout manner. The "important" updates are on windows update (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/, but they are not on automatic update (ControlPanel/AutomaticUpdates).
Online payment of tuition?

Maybe but would fark ever even post this?
His anecdotal evidence is no good but your's is?

Has anyone tried linking the B-D-W GC into FireFox?
This code has memory leaks.

Snake that eats its own tail.
Python has eval too. I think...::checks:: yep its got eval.
This is why microsoft will release the 'mysomething' extension to windows.
