The 1/8" audio output jack can do either analog or SPDIF. (Airport Express is the same way - it's plugged into an optical input on my stereo and works just fine)
Which is one major reason that OS/2 withered - it did such a good job running Windows program that nobody saw the need to actually buy OS/2-native programs... If Apple undertook a similar strategy, it would probably be the last straw for many Mac developers...
IBM announced a MacOS X version of their XL C/C++ v6.0 compiler (with supposedly more/better G5 optimization than gcc v3.3) about a year ago.
The announcement letter is

Starting back around 1985 or so, there was already a busy culture of recipe trading on the "alt.gourmand" USENET newsgroup. The recipes were distributed in troff format and they even had their own custom troff macro package for recipe formatting, and you could get the full collection of recipes, generate a permuted index, and print out the whole shebang. The cookbook filled a 2.5" D-Ring binder pretty completely.
Do a search for "USENET Cookbook" on Google and you can find some websites that still carry the collection of recipes.
Because the NAMM (international music products association) show is *this* week.
They probably decided that a show dedicated to hard-core musicians was a better venue than MWSF which tries to be all things to all people (photo / print / music / consumer / etc).
Apple saved all of their "Pro" audio product announcments (upgrades to Soundtrack, new packaging for Logic Platinum, new "Logic Express" app) for NAMM this week also.
Here's what I take away from the whole "G5 customers are grandfathered" situation:
My hunch is that the 10.2.7 release they're shipping on the G5 today must represent the *bare minimum* needed to get the OS to run reliably on those systems (and maybe some 'low-hanging fruit' optimizations), and they spent much more time and effort getting 10.3 optimized for the G5. I'd be really curious to see some comparative benchmarks between 10.2.7 and 7B85 on a G5 system to see if that hunch pans out.
On the other hand, what's in Jaguar 10.2.x has already been tweaked for the G4 processors pretty thoroughly.
(I'm NOT defending Apple's decision - I think setting today as the cutoff date is pretty sucky.)
Not in this case. The 717MHz / 33MHz are the carrier frequencies used for the QPSK modulator/demodulator, but they do not represent the amount of bandwidth allocated to you.
DOCSIS uses a combination of QPSK modulation and TDMA multiplexing because you've got several people transmitting / receiving on the same physical medium. So it's not the same thing as analog dial-up.
You can read the DOCSIS 1.1 Radio Frequency Interface specification here
Ummmm. That sounds like the modem is telling you the RF frequencies that it's using for forward and reverse data transmission. That's NOT your transfer speed.

OK, I'll correct you.

Well if you really want to split hairs, the Apple I (introduced in April 1976) predated the Commodore PET...

Prescience, more than five years ago.
