amazon didn't become profitable until they stopped giving away $10 off $25 coupons and raised prices (at which point I stopped shopping with them). I don't know (or care) if they're "profitable" today, but there first "profitable" quarters were an accounting gimmick - pro forma profits, which ignores certain expenses they have.
via this exploit. i was at my box (an old pentium II running gentoo, natch) when it happened. I heard the disk start thrashing and new something was wrong so i pulled the plug on it, before it could be turned into a spam-spewing zombie (or worse). If you don't have tripwire to verify nothing was trojaned, you should probably wipe your hard drive and reinstall.
This appears to be the same exploit that hackers used on cowboyneal.org a few months back.
maybe you should stop for a minute and consider that the law is written by morons. Those maligned mouth breathers have real world experience and don't change their beliefs based on polls and lobbyists.
in most states, you can only recieve unemployment if you were terminated without cause. If they had a reason to shit can you (incompetency, bad odor, you spent all your time pulling your pud and reading slashdot, etc) you're out of luck.
I understand that the Japanese think that underage girls are the height of sexual prowess, but it just doesn't jive with American ideas of how life actually is.
is anybody else sick of hearing about horny old hollywood men (tom cruise, michael douglas, harrison ford etc) pushing their grey pubes into USDA grade-A pussy like katie holmes, catherize zeta jones and calista flockhart?
i wish cowboy neal's stench only lasted for 3 days!

doing a virtual C++ call requires 1-2 indirections to get the function address from the vtable. That's 5-10 instructions max.
doing an objc call lookup requires calling a function to search through a table to find the function address. That's easily hundreds to thousands of instructions executed. You can, however, store the function address locally, so later calls would be even faster than C++.
NTFS has streams, (eg homework.doc:date, homework.doc:subject, etc), but the support is only half there -- you can create them, read them, write them, but there isn't a nice way to query them (there isn't even an api to directly find out which streams exist for a file).
HFS+ has the resource fork (which is structured data) but it also now allows arbitrary metadata as well, though that's only recently been available and so it's not yet well used.
yeah. Like Be, umm, no like Amiga, umm no like pegasos, oops, well i guess it will have to be a new startup..
PPC isn't dead, IBM still uses it for their AIX/Linux servers, XBox 360 uses it, the embedded market uses it.
But really, how many people care if their processor is x86 or not? If it matters, you're probably going to be buying a Sparc or RS and not a macintosh.
If I'm not mistaken, the code released by IBM will help developers port OSs for the processor. How long until someone uses it to port Windows
Most of the people with access to the full windows source code probably have access to the the full xbox specs as well. Unless you think open firmware is the only thing that's preventing legions of hackers from porting the leaked windows source code to PPC.
One reason they chose BSD over Linux is because BSD allowed them to release altered versions of the kernel without being required to publicly release the source code.
And another reason is that they found linux to be unsuitable. They did spend a lot of time and money developing mklinux, but BSD was (is) more mature and offers better performance.
Slashdot Mirror
You can if you rent one of Apple's x86 developer boxes and copy the OS over to your Pentium M laptop.
you could also shove it up your ass. I hear that's what richard gere does now that the ASPCA has warned pet stores not to sell him gerbils.

prior to the electric guitar, banjos were commonly used in jazz music.
they used to have an intel compiler. BeOS x86 used it originally, but then they switched to gcc since mwcc's x86 performance was subpar.

Of course you do. you don't realize that you're a dipshit.

The pr0n industry disagrees with you.
perhaps he meant .NET and java.

no but it comes with a story duplicator, so if you miss it the first time, you can read about it 2 days later.
According to a friend who works at Quark (and is busy trying to find a more secure job), the dude's got testicular cancer. :o

Rhapsody DR/x86 ran on a vanilla boxes.
Also, intel sent some bling bling Apple's way to help finance the x86 transition. Intel has also donated scratch to BeOS and various linux groups.
