it actually started on the early Apple computers as Open Apple and Closed Apple then moved to Command for the ADB(Apple Desktop Bus) keyboards of the macintoshes.
As for Linux support, the command keys on my Linux iBook work the same way as the winshit key (whiteouted of course) on my Linux server.
It looks as if he is connecting this typewriter to an older (pre usb switchover) macintosh, but I haven't found a specific quote to that effect.
But I can refuse to boot OS X for anything but gammes!
I would use OS X regularly if it had Linux's virtual terminal support and coult run an X server on one terminal and Aqua on another. With a package solution equivalent to Debian GNU/Linux.
Fink and the rest have potential, but aren't ready for general use. Maybe Debian GNU/Darwin will be released someday with all the goodies that I want. Until then though, it will be Linux for anything serious.
At my site I wrote a php script that accesses fortune. For a custom-reader, (also on the site for winshit and macintosh; Linux has fortune on its own:) I added "comment tags" around the fortune ittself that my client can parse out. A site I host wrote a similar client(tbr) for google's "did you mean" function.
I am wondering if a "reader" project will ever employ similar technology? It would be a lot easier if frames were still popular. The difficult part would be getting parser routines that adapt to unkown sites, but ones could easily be written for slashdot, freshmeat, etc.

While trying to get to the news? Why not overlay the text onto an LCD windshield? It's just as easy to kill yourself that way.
thx for the links. Here's one for you.

So its wavelength is not an indication of speed as it is with every other type of wave?
So with light, velocity!=wavelength*frequency?
PLEASE torture me with that!

That's when tensor math starts to come in handy. Don't worry, I won't torture you with that.
I've heard the same damn "Just Because" explanations forever! I downloaded a quite lengthy explanation of Tensor Calculus to my Zaurus.
What I was really asking is if anyone knew the basis for these theories.

point at c/2 from opposite directions they both gain infinite mass!?
By that same argument if I am traveling at c toward Earth, Earth gains infinite mass and the gravitational pull drags me toward it even faster!
No offense, but this makes no sense. Either none of us understand it, or the emporor has no theory.
can someone explain to me

What c is relative to? When we say that a car is moving at 60mph we meann relative to the ground, but what is c relative to?
If it's relative to a "given thing" then doesn't that hint toward Ether theory? The further we go in AP Physics the more I realise that my school is imprepared to answer anything that comes up and that modern theories (String theory and the like) seem reminescant of the old ones like Ether theory.

So how much will the beowulf project have to pay for parrallel tasking to rank over serial tasking in the tests!?
This is a joke, not libel. Beowulf is too poor to bribe.
That's what I would want.
but ordering a bunch of chemicals makes you look like a terrorist.
The government will buy ANYTHING that sounds cool, whether or not they need it.
So when you're drunk it can stop you from driving.
And if you're really drunk it can keep you from calling exgirlfriends.
That means that palms finally broke the "33mhz barrier"
to put a brick back into someone's pocket without their knowledge
Program at school without attracting too much attention as my iBook tends to do.
The Sharp Zaurus!
200+mhz in my pocket along with 64mb of ram, and Debian GNU/Linux as soon as that damn SD card I ordered comes in!
It rocked! Then again: I'm using Debian/Woody which is about a year old so I wouldn't know...
Check this out. It has info about modifying the iPod firmware.
Personally, I'm holding out on the iPod until HFS+ works in Linux. It's kind of a disgrace to buy a PC iPod for use on a mac.

OS 9/X for games.
I do have several PeeCees, but I would rather burn them or give them to my school than install or boot winshit for any reason!

Mac OS X has wonderfull speech support built in. The unique thing is that it works!

Google has several good html tutorials. The tag should be enough.
Seriously though, thanks for them.

Like any real geek, I'm coding on new years eve and day you insensitive clod!
you'd be chugging a can of [insert caffeinated beverage here] every two minutes. Real geeks don't have time for glasses.
