Nope, it's just difficult to research products when I can't view them. It's not like they're losing revenue since I most likely wouldn't have purchased a Mac anyway, so it's not a big deal, but it would've been nice to see the demo.
Future installments will include Sim Mess Duty, Sim Standing Guard in the Rain, Sim Blister, and Sim Invading Iraq to Keep Approval Ratings High.
I think it's very classy of you to make jokes about people who have died for your freedom. Sure, it sucks that the US get stuck policing the world, but as we've been shown, it's not going to do it on its own, and it doesn't look like anyone else is jumping up to do the job. Your attitude is disgusting.
It'll be just like I'm a kid again, but with better graphics (and beer)!
No it won't. Game companies, Nintendo included, stopped making fun games long ago and instead concentrated on what eye candy with no substance. You can't tell me that you can seriously compare any N64 or Gamecube game to an old-school Nintendo or SNES game and say it has the same level of fun because of the playability or content. This is why I stopped buying consoles, today they're all eye candy and no fun (with the possible exception of the GBA, though that's a stretch).
You'd end up with the same compiler in the end. GCC compiles itself in two phases, the first using the native compiler, and the second recompiling itself into the final product. Not much gain in doing that all over again, sorry.;-)
His software was designed solely for the purpose of pirating eBooks. I'm not sure why we're giving this guy or his company a break for repeated dubious behavior. Not everything should be free, like my hard work.
So? GTA is a game, the company that produces it can decide what systems it will be released for, if any. It's ONLY A GAME. Your implciations with Microsoft behavior are, quite frankly, ridiculous.
The problem is that I cannot figure out how to bypass the Linux kernel's TCP/IP stack routing optimization. All the combinations of routing table modifications and iptables that I've tried still don't make the packets flow out the interfaces and on the wire instead of within the stack.
Nor could I. I spent the past year working on a thesis-like project for undergraduates building a new queueing mechanism using the Linux kernel. Using only one 300 Mhz processor and saturating two 100 BaseT interfaces would suck down about 1/3 of the CPU, and I found no way to bypass the stack. FreeBSD and OpenBSD can do it transparently if you want to give them a try.
I was kinda curious about that myself. I signed up for ELJ when it was first announced and was promised a couple of free issues, but they were still coming a year later. I guess giving away software for free and physical objects are a bit different.;-)
FreeBSD has had MP capabilities for a long time. While not totally symmetric as Linux's, running two mp3 encoding processes will take you no longer on FreeBSD than Linux (and quite possibly less time, depending). I've had a lot of bad experiences with Linux's SMP throwing tasks back and forth between two processors and unnecessarily running up CPU usage on task switching, and while I guess this is better than FreeBSD's existing MP capability, giving it no credit is foolish.
I disagree, the Gnome project originally used Enlightenment because it was the only window manager suitable for their purpose and they knew from the start it was bloated and not meant for the job. In this case, only Sun has dropped Sawfish's use, and Gnome will continue to officially back Sawfish, which is not nearly as bloated as the original poster makes it out to be. In my opinion it's on par with WindowMaker, maybe slightly slower than BlackBox.
The problem with GPG is that it lacks an easy-to-use interface and Windows plugins. This was the selling point of NAI's PGP: it was easy point-and-click encryption for the common person. It's a shame they're ditching it, it really had a good chance for encouraging the widespread use of encryption.

I'd really like to see this, I don't suppose there's a version available using a standard, cross-platform codec anywhere?

The operating system is UNIX, not Unix, though admittedly at this point it's more of a paradigm than an OS.
