I normally agree with you, but I think there are a few different versions of the dubs out there - the one I saw was quite good, to the point I didn't really notice that it *was* dubbed after a few minutes.
p.s also choose bash/tsh based on your audience, if its a mac crowd tsh is going to be more useful but if its a linux crowd stick with bash
OS X *used* to have tcsh as the default shell, but now it uses bash. But I agree with jgrahn:
I sincerely hope noone writes shell scripts in csh or tcsh these days. I still kind of like tcsh as an interactive shell, but it's a dead end for scripting.
I use tcsh for my interactive shell, but all my scripts are in plain old Bourne (no, not bash, sh!). If i have to loop or something in an interactive context, I end up doing it inside a 'sh -c' block.:-)
In all the examples you gave (power, water, bread, road), the item in question is purchased on an actual-usage basis (i.e. you don't get charged for a loaf of bread when you enter the store, only if you actually want to take one out with you). With "unlimited" broadband, it's purchased as a flat fee.
That's not how I parsed it. It seems to me that the part you excerpted is saying "This is the state of the world, which is why I'm doing what I'm doing". However, that does not appear to be a prerequesite for any particular invocation of the powers described.
Unless you want Osama to have access to an attorney?
You bet your ass I do! Justice is best served in public, where the accused have every opportunity to defend themselves, and everyone can see the evidence for themselves. And if the accused is found guilty, it is because the evidence clearly indicates their guilt.
There's a reason why firewire networking is the default method of files between two macs when you buy a new one......
That's not quite correct. The way it works is that one of the machines (the old one, if the initial setup assistant is copying your settings from an older machine) is shut down and rebooted into what is called Target Disk Mode by pressing a key combination (Command-T, I believe) early in boot. This tells the machine's firmware to not boot the OS, and instead makes the internal drive(s) appear like any external FireWire hard drive. The newer machine then sees the older machine's drive(s) as regular external FireWire drives, and copies the data.
Of course, you can *also* set up the machines to use IP-over-FireWire, including sharing on machine's Ethernet network over FireWire to the other machine.
Of course, I looked at the "estimated" price, thought about how many dot-com millionaires managed to actually cash out with millions, and how many of them must be fans, and realised I didn't have a chance.
Yeah, because NeXT took the world by storm, driving both Apple and IBM to bankruptcy in a matter of months. So popular did NeXT machines become that Microsoft quit the software business and started making beanbag chairs and pet rocks, because everybody who was anybody cast aside their PCs and Macs and went NeXT.
You jest, but remember that Mac OS X is a direct decendant of NeXT. When Apple bought them, several of the key management positions (esp. CEO (Steve Jobs), but also VP of Software Engineering and later CTO (Avie Tevanian) quickly ended up in the hands of NeXT people. People have referred to it as Apple paying NeXT to take them over.
So you're half-right: a large percentage of those who ran Mac OS 9 now run NeXT, as Mac OS X.
It's not an Intel motherboard, it's an Intel *chipset*.
It's not hard to have on-board devices that are not part of the chipset. For example, one of the embedded systems I use at work is based on the Intel Plumas chipset, and it also has gigabit ethernet via a Broadcom NIC that's on the board. Intel had no part in that. *We* came up with the specifications for the board, and *we* had it built with what we wanted. I have no doubt whatsoever that Apple could do the same.
The reason FW800 is not on-board is what has already been said: adoption was low on laptops, so why spend the money designing it in when so few people use it?

1. Apple's profiting off BSD kernel (what is your favorite pejorative for Steve Jobs, given your love of Psystar above ?).
They have permission to profit off the BSD code that they use, by virtue of the BSD license.
2. The entire aftermarket slew of non-Apple products that exist for iPod ?
The ones that interact electrically with the iPod (docks, etc.) have a license to do so.

Bah, ignore me. I didn't see this clause: "to have committed, or to pose a significant risk of committing, an act or acts of violence"

Right actor, wrong movie. That little exchange is from Wargames, not Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Not only that, but it's *tail recursive*. That means it can be optimised to iteration.

Nice theory...

But "DCM" are often picked as the three consonants and "A" as the vowel. I think they're the most common after the given "RSTLNE".
My Mom and Grandma love that show, for reasons that I don't quite fathom.
