The kernel and low-level stuff is open, so I suppose if you are so inclined you can download the latest darwin sources/patches and compile them. The GUI-type stuff is closed, though, so binary patches for that.
My university has recently disabled forwarding of university mail to outside mail servers. This was because much of the mail coming from school organizations is spam-like and enough students were marking it as spam that some popular mail services were dumping important university mail to spam folders.
However, the forwarding ban was only for *external* mail servers. Other mail servers within the school's domain were OK. So I forwarded my university mail to the Computer Science Department's internal mail servers, and dropped a.forward in my home directory that pointed to where I really wanted all my mail to go (gmail).
I wanted to try out the option to have the server page me in case of problems. Only problem was that the only phone jack in the server room was on the other side of the room, and I didn't have a phone cable nearly that long. But I did have a box of old ISA modems and short phone cables. My intuition told me that the "Line In" ports were wired directly to the "Phone" ports and didn't require power or actual computers to drive them. So I daisy chained modem cards and short cables together across the ceiling, wedging the actual cards behind cable housing and drop ceiling tiles, until finally I got dialtone. My supervisor commended me for my creativity but made me take it down, since the policy was that the modems were not to be connected to phone lines for fear of people being able to dial in to them or something. Never mind the dedicated internet connection.
Not much, and that's kind of the point. At the expense of it being relatively easy to locate and listen to the signal, it is impossible to decipher the message or determine the recipients (if any) or their whereabouts.
Point. Though my next car purchase will probably be after I finish my PhD and start receiving reasonable wages, and I do not foresee my vehicle priorities changing wildly by then.
I don't know what other people look for in cars, but my priorities run something like this: Price (within my budget), runs well, safety, good mileage, maneuverability, bells and whistles, overall appearance. Bells and whistles aren't an edge until other priorities are met. As it is now, my next car will be another foreign model.
In my Graphics class I learned about the Quaternion number field, which is essentially like multidimensional complex (real +imaginary) numbers. In addition to the familiar i, you also have j and k. There is a multiplication table showing what you get when you multiply these things with each other. Why are these useful? Because for some reason or other, they can be used to define 3D rotations "better" than just using two or three angles. And you can make quaternion splines to interpolate between various rotations, allowing you to specify key frames and getting an animation out of it. But it's a really weird sort of number to think about.
Search engines do not need to index or analyze forms, only content and links. These techniques are not for hiding content or links, just making it more difficult for spambots to figure out how to use submission forms like the one I'm typing in right now.
No, they can both be unbeatable. If it always ends in a draw, neither one is beaten. Though in this case, the program can't play against itself because it has the limitation that it always has to go first and always plays in the center square.
According to the story it was some sort of electrical or perhaps pheremonal signal. I don't recall. They don't really have nervous systems, but they have some decentralized method of passing information around and interacting with their environment. Very slowly, in most cases.
The way I heard it was: Two plants of the same species were placed in a room with the sensors attached. A man walked in and brutally hacked one of the plants apart and then left. After that, the surviving plant gave off the 'fear' signal whenever people walked in the room. Or something like that.
It would be interesting if this was a skin cancer which produced hair follicles. Imagine getting bitten by your dog and, as the tumor progresses, find yourself sprouting wolf fur. Lycanthropy anyone?
Good to know. It seems like an obvious solution, but I have in the past heard horror stories of flash failure reducing cards to paperweight status. As long as they implement it properly it should be ok.
There is one very important reason to change your heat pump: When it breaks. Computers do break and, even if they don't, eventually go obsolete. When it comes time to buy the replacement, they might recall hearing something about this Mac thing a while back.
Perhaps, though I'd like to know how he got to a computer magazine's website to ask that question. The computer science student, on the other hand, was really sad. I've met a guy who was kinda like that ("What's HTML? And what's wrong with red text on a pink background for our software? You say the instructions shouldn't be in all caps?")
It may be a legit error, but the site in question does not do technical support. The help form is specifically for problems with the company's website.

Apple, which currently has a product called Rosetta, which allows PPC code to be executed on Intel chips by translating it dynamically or something.

No, in fact I'm a single grad student trying to squeeze by under the poverty line. Style is the least of my concerns.

Remember, odd version numbers are development versions. Not for use in a production environment.
My optimistic side urges me to believe that our military would try even harder to limit civilian casualties if they were fighting their own people.
I seem to recall OpenGL being originally developed by SGI. I don't think prior art counts when the company in question developed the prior art.

No, he's approximately right. Google Calculator: 16 cubic centimeters in cubic inches

Driver patches happen. If the driver is in hardware, you'll have to flash it, which has somewhat more severe consequences in the event of an error.

Yes, but what will the Church think of the theory of Intelligent Contraception?
