Y'see, Cocoa used to be NeXTSTEP. And NeXTSTEP used to run on PA-RISC, SPARC, 80x86, and 680x0 all from the same binary. They're called "fat binaries". Single distribution format, run on any NeXTSTEP platform. Nifty.
Doh! I should have thought of that, at least from the 68k/PPC transition, if nothing else.
Carbon, on the other hand, would have some trouble. But what did you expect from a legacy library?
Quote a large number of Mac programs seem to contain "#import <Carbon/Carbon.h>", so there may well still be problems.
It's very unlikely that they will. Apple uses their software to sell their hardware, and if you can run OS X on any old PC, people will be less inclined to buy Macs.
Also, if they did this, binaries would be incompatible between the PPC and x86 versions, and fairly quickly most people would only develop for x86, making buying a Mac pointless.
Another thing: If they did this, they would be in direct competition with MS, which would be an insane thing to do.
Slightly more likely is OS X running on an Apple-only x86 system, but the OS 9 -> OS X transition is not totally finished yet, and it would be a major upset.
Neo is shot in apartment number 303, and after 72 seconds (72 hours = 3 days), he rises again.
Did the guy sit there with a stopwatch, timing all the important events in the film? I think this just shows that it is possible to read more into something than is actually there.
Anyway, according to the Bible, Jesus was dead for two days, not three ("on the third day" = "after two days")
It's not stupid. Although anyone can go and make a Ferrari out of dust, someone needs to first spend a lot of time designing and testing the thing, and they feel they should be rewarded for this.
Actually, it would be worse for the car industry than file sharing is for the music industry, because you only want one or two cars, but hundreds of songs.
Unless I am misunderstanding the log entry, robots.txt doesn't actually exist on this guy's server. So why does he spend so much time complaining about this thing not looking for it?
I'm going to patent the process of making a patent. That and the internet.
I don't think you can patent those two separately like that. You would be better off trying something like "Making a patent on the internet" or "Making a patent by taking something obvious and adding 'on the internet' on the internet".
I have a friend at Vanderbilt, he has a 200 meg per day quota. If he exceeds that quota he'll get a warning the first time, and the second time he will loose his LAN connection.
That seems like a horrible way of doing things. I probably use well under 200Mb/day on average, but about one day per term I suck up 600Mb or so. Is that plan designed to make it hard to download a CD image, or is it a coincidence?
If you don't want it on by defualt, but just want to see it this time, hold command-v at startup.

I have never come across that. Are you sure you are not accidentally using the wrong keymap? There is one that is delierately "Dvorak-unless-command-key-held", and you might have that on by instead of the proper one.
The quality would not be too dreadful. Once you have done it once, you have a digital version that you can copy as much as you want without losing any more quality (unlike the situation you would get if you had to keep making analogue copies).
I think I should win the most stupid level 1 death. On turn two, I failed to get onto my pony and died. The death message was "Died trying to mount a pony"
The article seems to assume that the worm designer can find security holes more quickly than they can be patched. But surely it should be possible to block the worm, once it's detected, by announcing to the world something like "firewall off port X, don't run program Y"?
I tend to use the arrow keys and page up/down a lot, but as far as I can make out, these keys are on a separate section in the middle with the uprights in the way, so it would take a lot of movement to get there (and also lifting/lowering hands to get to the mouse)
Also, in a quick test of holding my hands in the air at about the right height and pretending to type, my arms got tired in a few minutes.
I'm not going to wait until they get me, I'm disconnecting righ-

I think the primary aim is to find things out, not to stop other people finding things out. Either way, the data gets here, so it doesn't really matter.

I sue the RIAA for $1.00 or something
I have to spend it quickly, because the RIAA is about to sue me for $17,000.
I'm not going to be the one who simultaneously antagonises the RIAA and admits in court that I tried to pirate music.

I just hope none of the pornographers are reading Slashdot, or the cops will come for you when their bust fails.
Make your database system boring enough that it is not linked to on Slashdot.
I think that's a typo you made there. Surely you mean "Service Pack 2" rather than "RC1"?

It's better for ways to stop the worm to be thought up now rather than when half the internet is infected by the thing.
If I remember correctly, the only two-input gates that will make any logic funtion alone are NAMD and NOR.
Yes, in will accept a 9 character password, but it only looks at the first 8. Try entering only the first 8 characters next time.

The question is, did you break their rules again? If not, they succeeded. If you did, they failed.
