Some years ago, The W. Bush administration broke a treaty with Russia preventing the use of Anti Balistic Missile and relaunched their ABM program.
Why did they do that in a world leaving (globally) in peace if they don't plan to attack an ICBM capable country ?
If (too) many countries have some sort of nuclear weapon, the list of the ones who have the capability to run an intercontinental nuclear war is limited: -USA -UK -Russia -China -France
Technically speaking it's a good idea, but when one is outdoor and is looking at his pockets, in most cases, he will find only Bluetooth devices ( cell phone, pda, the external BT adaptater for the iBook;-)
Since the GBA plays in the same category (pockets), the choice of selling a BT adapter for GBA was more relevant especially if Internet access is desired (the BT GPRS cell phone is the interface of choice for mobile web surfing until WI-FI is widespread)
And if we have Internet access, we have acces to MMORPG and you 'll have your multiplayer game
as a Macbidouille reader for years, I can tell that their [hardware] rumors have always been strangely accurate.
Sometimes I wonder if their Deep throat wasn't Jobs or Tevanian;-))
But I also know that Apple is seriously monitoring the site and has already send lawyer regarding xServe 's photographs.
Regarding AMD rumors, don't forget 2 points:
(1) AMD does not only manufature chips, they are the major promoter of the HyperTransport technology (that Apple is rumored to include in future macs)
(2) IIRC, The licencing scheme of the new PowerPC 970 allows Apple to take the plans and ask any manufacturer to build the chip in large quantity for them, (why not AMD ?)
You're right Mac OS X's "officially" supported (I knew that, sorry for having generalized).
However, the idea I tried to outline is still valid.
On older macs , installing Linux may be a better investment than Mac OSX:
(1) On such computers Mac OS X is slow, even after upgrading memory, there's still bottlenecks like bus speed, slow CPU, slow I/O, while linux can accomodate itself of such low-end config.
Sure, as you say, KDE and Gnome should be avoided, but twm for example run correctly.
On the other side, we cannot change the window manager of Mac OSX.
(2) They have not very standard memory extensions and it's not that cheap to upgrade (when it's possible) them to a point that you can use Mac OS X without pain.
Regarding Darwin, I don't know much but may be it's an alternative for server use.
I haven't chosen it, because at that time I didn't trust him enough and used Mac OS X as a development platform only.
By the way, my imac is "really" headless because the screen is dead (THT problem, I was told it often happened on this model). I had to borrow 6500's monitor to do the Linux installation. (Hopefully, The internal video connector in the iMac was the same - DB15)
Translate between names and IP addresses without a DNS server.
Find services, like printers, without a directory server.
Allocate IP Multicast addresses without a MADCAP server.

Apple already uses this technology under the name RendezVous
in Mac OS X.
As a Mac OSX user I can say that this techno does exactly what is supposed to (since RendezVous is deeply embedded in the system and some third party software, and Rendevous-enable products are available, it's a true real world benefits, not just a lab's experiment)
It's easy to understand the point when more OS, network devices, Consumer Devices (Philips is already doing prototypes), and P2P softwares (the mac version of Limewire is RendezVous enabled) will adopt the technology.
Here it is
but the localisation for 1.2.1 version is still experimental.
woah, Swiss gov is it running a mass beta-testing of OSS on mundane people ?
I hope they have included a simple feedback application too
In fact, there's two DirectConnect client on mac:
the Official DirectConnect software from NeoModus.
It's a Cocoa Application, nice to use but some features are missing. Sometimes it opens my browser to open a pop up on NeoModus Website. I don't like that.
The Java Direct Connect project from Sourceforge works well on mac, has more features but it's somewhat....slow

I suppose It's a typo (not from S. Jobs imho ;-)
Apple is reported having around $4 billions in cash
Actually you can't burn the *same* playlist more than 10 times.
But making minor changes to the playlist(IIRC, changing sorting is enough) reset the counter.
The fundamentalism is not the privilege of Islam.
It's present in all religion.
Just look at the guy sat at White House for an example of fundamentalist Christian.
Before bashing fundamentalism in other culture/religion, start cleaning your own.

An alternative way is to develop an i-mode browser for the GBA/GBASP.
Thus, we have access to i-mode services including this MMORPG (Screenshots included)

Mac OSX only runs on modern mac with lot of RAM (read 256+) and good video card.
;-)
I have older PM 6500 and Imac Rev B that can't run Mac OS X (not supported, not enough RAM, not enough CPU power).
I've installed YellowDogLinux 2.3 on both, it just works
I don't feel the need to upgrade to 3.0 since they are used headless, as servers not as desktop.

The upgrade to iMovie 2 and iDVD 2 weren't free. IIRC, Apple charged 19$ for each.
iPhoto was free probably because it's the first version of an iApp (Imovie 1 was free too)
And these iApps will still be bundled with either the OS or the high-end hardware
And it's still rumors until Jan,6th
You are right ;-) (glad to see another french geek on /.)
But I found CowboyNeal's sentence more "poetic" (even if it's accidental).
Furthermore, "cliquer" is somewhat a comptuter-related neologism, so he's not "really" wrong regarding the respect of french language.
I think that this word found in a french text would have been interpreted as a style effect.
