One thing I have to say with windwaker is the fact that it has a Timeless look, just like A Link to The Past before it. Both of these Zelda games took what the console hardware gave them, and rendered a style that as time goes on, does not lose graphic appeal.
I feel like Ocarina of Time\Majoras Mask and maybe Twilight Princess, do not have this effect. I look at Ocarina of Time today and it looks ugly compared to todays games, yet I can still pop in my A Link to the Past cart and not have a problem with the way the game looks. The same with Wind Waker, It looks just as nice as the first time I popped the disc in my Gamecube, and it still has a unique style that works well with the gameplay world it lives in.
One thing everyone seems to be forgetting is that up to the current generation, most games were programmed in the native assembly language of the processor, so there really is no such thing as a recompile. They might be able to translate from one assembly language to the next, but emulation seems more straightforward
All Macs come with a developer tools disk which includes XCode, Apples free IDE. XCode let's you work with C, C++, Objective-C, Java, etc... I also remember reading that Oracle recently released Oracle 10g for OS X. I do not know what D2K is, so I can't answer that part of your question.
I'm sorry, but your comment doesn't make any sense at all. First of all, Apple makes the hardware and the software of the package, so what you are saying is equivalent to saying. Hey, Sun shouldn't install Solaris on their servers, but then again, what else will run on it? On the other hand, Microsoft doesn't make any piece of hardware in the computers that Windows comes pre-installed on, therefore OEM's should have a choice of what to put on their machines.
Slashdot users may not need this, but it is usefull for businesses of all sizes. That is why most corporations like IBM, HP, Intel and Novell are starting to have employees work on Xen.
Wouldn't this affect the FAT implementations used in other Operating Systems such as linux, OS X or *BSD? If it does this would kill interoperability on dual-boot machines, making transfering files a one way thing (you could find ext2 implementations for windows).
hen there's eye candy that doesn't increase productivity, like the rotating cube animation for switching users.
I consider this animation quite useful for the mom and pops of the computing world. It gives them a visual cue that the other user's desktop is still around, much easier to understand than just changing the screen.
But that is just my opinion
.Mac is awesome. The only downside being that you need a Mac to use it properly, but if you do, it's one of the best services available, 100megs hosting, iLife apps integration, great offers once and a while, a 15mb mailbox with webmail and imap access. What else could you ask for.

He makes a note on another post saying that in the original paper Ziv was first author, which is way he lists it as ZLW.
Actually, in another one of his articles, he mentions how he recommends/enforces a 40hr weekin his company due to diminishing returns from overtime.

No, he means Airport Express, Get up to date on Apple Hardware, then comment
and create... MikeRoweSoft Lindows
kinda sounds like this
