Hmmm... Just Mac OSX 10.2... but that's not that much is it?!
Mac OSX is based on C and Objective-C, if I recall correctly. Isn't the C++ ABI somewhat different than the Objective-C one, given the dynamic properties of the later?
Thank you very much indeed. You saved me from having to select, copy and paste. You are one of the most helpful, selfless fellows I've come to meet in my humble life. Your karma is truly well earned

Every social system runs on the people's belief in it
A social system based on people's belief is certainly doomed, for we are individuals. Shared beliefs arise in groups. Societies are diverse
On the other hand, social systems based on convenience, the interchange of value that honest people do by watching their own interests, are quite effective. It has nothing to do with beliefs. It has everything to do with freedom
By all means, be kind to your fellows. Just don't try to impose it on other people. It would betray the very same beliefs you preach

Nice.
Man is a mean for itself, not a mean for other people's ends. Man should sacrifice for himself, not for the others. Man should work for for his own personal rational interest. That would be moral. There is no need to feed the left wing looters that want to seize the value of other people's work
That being said, I acknowledge the need for any country to have different points of view, represented by political parties. That is a Good Thing.

Be careful what you wish. Believe me, you don't want that kind of political party in your country.
Individual rights are a Good Thing. Suspicion of the motives of big business is also a Good Thing. But when a political party becomes corrupt, as it almost always happens, those of left use individual rights and welfare as their weapons for power. The result is never nice, and the economy suffers.
I don't remember the author, but someone once said that left parties have ideologies, and that right parties have interests. I believe I'd rather have the later than the former
It is very uncommon for scientists to state their theories as facts. The purpose of communicating a theory is, besides obtaining other people's recognition, to be able to discuss and expand the new proposed discoveries in order to grasp a better understanding of the topic in hand.
Now, if the media chooses to overstate and otherwise mislead their public, and show theories as facts, it is not the fault of the scientists, is it? Beware of the articles the media displays, for they are not always correct.
I would certainly buy an Xbox for $30. In fact, I think I would buy two of them. Are you selling them for that price?
Yes, I also thought that he was describing the Xbox, yet the price is quite different. However, if the Xbox OS were to be sold independently for $30... now that would be something.
This is silly. You can't own a copyright for a radio frequency.
No, they don't have a copyright over the frecuency. Instead, they "invented the technology that made the spectrum capacity possible." That is why they find the FCC decision to auction off the spectrum a wrong move.

Ok, there may be lots of bandwidth and frequencies, but to unregulate all of it is to say the same as "The USA has a lot a land that people could drive on, so why have traffic laws?". Not quite on point, but food for thought....
'unregulate' is one thing. Stop selling exclusive rights on certain frecuencies is another. The point here is that when a resource is no longer scarce, it no longer can be sold (for there would be no buyers). Governments around the world would have to stop selling frecuencies. They would regulate them alright, but not sell them.
The reason why I don't hack an Aibo is because I cannot afford one, not because I don't have the API specs. Reverse engineering hardware is not hard, if its cost is so low that one doesn't mind risking breaking it.
The opposite also applies. There are people like myself who don't mind spending some money on this kind of toys if the APIs are clearly outlined and the investment is not easily lost after some tweaking.

"NVIDIA was able to make the fastest GPUs on the planet because of the engineers they have"
And because they have strong competition. It makes them improve constantly. When 3Dfx was the "king of the 3-D hill" they gave themselves the chance to became obssesed with their Glide API. Not a smart move.
If nVidia were to become the new undisputed king, I'm not very sure they would continue to improve as fast as they do now, no matter what kind of engineers they have.
I still don't get it, but there is one more thing that comes to my attention. Web Services could be used among different sites, potentially owned by different people.
Perhaps the problem here is cross-site authentication, something that could be solved the way Kerberos works.
In order to run Ximian on OS X an X Server should be installed and fully funcional in OS X. An easy task, granted, but it would lack from the Aqua look.
Microsoft (again!) Office v.X runs in Aqua. Ximian would have to do better than that in order to be a competitive choice. Granted, price would be a strong issue, yet for many users Office v.X would still be a better alternative.
