'cause in the seeds of every newbie is an Apple tree with a fine *nix root, you just have to cultivate it as a seedling. Alas it grows into a weed-dows plant similar to kudzu
I'm not an expert on these things... (I know - then get off'a/. !!! )
...but could someone tell me why in an otherwise pretty secure and tight implementation of the rollout of OSX over the past 1+ year would Apple overlook something so seemingly obvious?
Any theories (besides the one I read elsewhere that "steve was fresh from graduation from assclown school" -Techfocus)?
And what's an assclown? I can't recall seeing one.
But don't you think that the 'open-faced sandwich' approach that Apple has is better than being totally proprietary? At least Darwin is advancing the BSD 'art' and is contributing back to the community.
The Linux/Unix/BSD community has had decades to stop splintering and produce a product that is usable by the common people.
Have they?
And what has Apple done to ship *nix in the last year? It's not black and white. Apple at least is open-sourcing the foundation.
Credit where credit is due.
I'm a Mac guy who has been introduced to the wonders and power of unix because of Apple.
Zero tolerance means not thinking. Think about advancement of the art, think about a stable smooth, easy interface with geek guts. Geez - I'm running early Jaguar and I can't get it to crash.
Yes, reading the 'story' on graphicpower was like watching a guy toss his clubs in the drink after a bad drive. He's only gonna have to buy new ones (or take up bowling - {windows}).
Yes, it's almost like a copyright issue. If you don't attempt to enforce the edges of your 'stock' responsibility consistently, then you have less of a (legal) leg to stand on when you actually gotta get down and dirty and go after a leaked trade secret. The only reason you don't see M$ in the news with something like this is that Apple is actually the R&D division of M$ so Apple's lawyers protect M$ intellectual property too (they should be paid 1/2 by M$)
Apple instead oughta use it's influence creatively and withhold advertising from Wired until they stop calling it 'Cult of Mac'. You know how hard it is to get a Mac into a church with Hexley and being called a cult and all?

Please reconsider your 'wide net' policy in classifying sites as rumor when they are valuable members of the Mac web community. I'm a Mac consultant and I keep my finger on the pulse of your customers and the web. You've stirred up an angry beehive in more than just this case (Graphicpower). Mac people monitor the web closely and the general consensus at the moment is not good for Apple. Apple has a loyal customer base yes, but much of that base is from word-of-mouth. The biggest mouths are the web sites that my clients (mac users) monitor and the word is not good. You've got a revolt on your hands. Please reconsider your 'tight' classifications. For Apple to give a little in this regard would sure release some building steam in the community.
I firmly believe TV is our 'circuses' and that fundamentalist Muslims are our Huns. I dumped my TV 6 months ago and I challenge all of you to do the same.
The first week is pure hell.
The second week you've got the shakes but you only think about it when Seinfeld reruns are on.
After 3 weeks you begin posting heavily to/.

If this ends up killing peer to peer music exchange, the regret I have is how will I discover music I never would've listened to. That's how I use it. I download many things but my rule is, if i listen to something more than 3 times, I pay for the CD.
According to an N-body simulation in which a small, massive object such as a black hole passes near the Earth-Moon system, in such a way as to impart a differential acceleration to the two bodies. The moon would drop from orbit and collide with a force of 10000 kilodinojoules into your eye like a big-a pizza pie.

Isn't that supposed to be theoretically possible?
Holy Cats! I'd never heard of this project (or most of these). Thanks spaceman!

Humans used to have a tail, eventually it went away. Same with mouse buttons...

Now, we're not as smart as *nix people, but we have better skin.

Apple is a combination, 'Linux' (yes, I know) made nice. So we're Communists, but with uh, resistance to - uh, freedom of - uh, A nice interface!
They built on BeOS? - buddy, you have no credibility. No mac for you!

No, really!

That's amore.
At that point you'll sing "Vita Bella".

Ha! Use Omniweb on a Mac running OSX. It spell checks everything.
