Long ago, Apple's Installer app team decided that the default target for library files should be/Library rather than ~/Library.
That single decision has had the upshot that for the last decade and more, Apple has been training its users to type in their admin passwords at the drop of a hat.
I've never understood why they didn't realise it would come back to haunt them. Now they're going to have to learn on the back foot.
And the sum total of energy in bumps and scrapes you receive over your childhood presumably exceeds that of a bullet to the head. Radiation is not something you have to worry about if administered gradually enough.
What has any of your rant got to do with the BBC? You've posted three links, none of which has anything to do with that organisation. Are you trying to make an ironic point about unsupported claims?
As far as I understand it, Cocotron is more concerned with implementing Cocoa rather than OpenStep (i.e. it would be more attractive to iOS developers), and I'd have thought its license (MIT) would be easier for Sony to ensure compliance with than the GPL.
However, it's not due to be public domain until the year 2044 in the US and 2020 in the EU, by which time the term of copyright will have been extended again.
Nothing is slowed down. Light always goes at the same speed. Guess its name.
When you've quite finished being sarcastic, you might want to remember what you learned about refraction at high school. The constant "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum.
Which was pretty inexplicable in the context of the Terminator. The visual processing system derived information about the environment, then integrated it as text into the signal from which it was derived such that it had to be processed a second time to be acted upon?
There only needs to be distance because your eye's lens has a minimum focal length. As long as you can arrange for the light to enter the lens *as if* it comes from some distance away, it doesn't actually need to do so. That's easier said than done, mind you.
Indeed, the free market will sort it out. Like for instance, dodo eggs got really expensive, so the price went up, fewer people bought dodo eggs, so the price went down... um... hang on.
Perhaps you haven't noticed that resources aren't exactly evenly distributed the world over? Good luck keeping your military-industrial complex ticking over without oil.

I guess I should have searched before I posted, as I see that there's recently been a blog post on the former matter: http://heronsperch.blogspot.com/2010/11/gnustep-is-not-openstep.html
But the latter?

It used to be a lightweight extension to C, but ObjC-2.0 rather spoiled that with dot syntax for properties :(
I just engaged in an act which even the lowest member of the primates would know was illegal
If you think they don't know it's illegal, well, who's the stupid one?
Not really sure if your making a joke or what exactly. (I have not had coffee YET)
Have a coffee, then read what he said again.
Perfect, isn't it?!
I just wonder who scams the scammer-scammers?

Please mod parent insightful, even though it is also funny.
Why on earth would you reply to the post you did without including a link? Are you trying to discredit your own point?

Fixed that for ya.
That's not Obama's failure. That's capitalism's failure.
Precisely!

In primary school, I was taught that the primary colours are red, yellow and blue. I suppose what they really meant was magenta, yellow and cyan.
Killing people is going to be a regrettable necessity for some centuries to come.

If you think the new VW 2-seater has an efficient combustion engine... man, wait till you see what a great conversion rate modern power stations get!

Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.
