Yes it will take some time to learn. The point is that you only learn them once, and they consistently work the same way after that.
These buttons will be on every window you ever see on your OS X computer. There is no chance you will forget about them, since they're in your face all the time.
SIlicon Valley is more expensive

Yes, Internet connections are more expensive in Europe. But costs for staff and offices are completely insane in Silicon Valley. I doubt the Valley has any cost advantage all in all. It's certainly at least twice as expensive to do business in than normal US locations.
And still it dominates the industry. Not sure why.
They haven't given any more details. I'd guess it's a free download, plus possibly you could order the CD for a nominal cost. They've done stuff like that before.
But it's just a guess by me. For all we know, they might even charge for it. But calling it "public" must at least mean that anyone can get it.
Judging from reports, OS X is in pretty good shape already, and will only get better. Don't know about the Fortran compiler:-)
A few years back, before Jobs fired anyone who might possibly leak classified stuff, Mac OS Rumors was the best informed place around. They had good sources inside Apple, and they were usually the place you first read about exciting news.
These days, it seems they just don't have any good inside info anymore, so they just print whatever they happen to hear from whoever.
It might, except that most advertising is local. These guys record from LA cable. While McDonalds may get some value from from people in Chicago or Helsinki watching their ads, the local LA advertisers get nothing.
Not that I've followed Metallicas career closely, but if they were anything like the other Metal bands of the time they must have broken the law at will and for fun uncountable times. Drugs, sex & drunken mayhem are what at least these bands PR people want us to think they're all about.
And now they get all self righteous to the world and their fans about copyright legislation? How funny is that??

Yes, I am illiterate. Could you recommend a good book where I can learn literacy?
I am also a retard, but you probably already realized that.
Seriously. Yeah, you have a point. What I really should have said was that this 'groundwork of society' thing is hopelessly vague, and the conclusions that were drawn from this muddy concept were way too far reaching.
The implication chain...
1. The value of money depends on the existance of a society.
2. Therefore farmers should be paid as much as programmers.
... is just too stupid to discuss.
You wonder what money is. Maybe you should learn. Milton Friedmans "Money Mischief" is a good book, if a bit on the dull side.
Money is not paper. Money is contracts. The paper is just the what the contract is written on. Do not confuse the two, or you will never have any understanding.
If you work in the book business it is probably as clear as the difference between a pointer and a reference to a C++ programmer, but if you don't it's pretty perplexing that the guy who writes most of the text in a book and is on the cover as author is not regarded as being part of the production of it.
But if you say that's how things work, I for one believe you.
I have never gotten a useful answer out of idiot Jeeves. He is a complete retard. How the company can be valued at one billion is incomprehensible. And it was at nine billion in november!!
What the hell is a company-state? If you mean really big scary companies, be aware that the tech crash mostly affected pretty small startups. The big guys fared better.
And you need to realise that companies are 100% made up of people. This hit a lot of people realy hard, including all employees of these companies. I haven't heard of a tech company that doesn't give all it's employees stock options, and often those give much more money than their wage. And now most of that os gone to money heaven.
And finally, it did hit Linux companies worse than Micro$oft.
All the nerds I know have stock optoions, and many lost millions last week. I, sadly, had none to lose.
From where I sit this is the biggest single News For Nerds in a long time.
50-80% of the value of most internet comanies got wiped out last week. If it stays that way, it will have a huge impact on the Nerd job market, as well as Silicon Valley life.
I don't want all my apps looking and feeling identical - because they're not.
No, the apps should not look the same in every way. As you say, they are different. But the controls should look, and be, the same across applications.
A button in one application should work and look the same as one in others. The same for menus, scrollbars etc and all the other basic building blocks. If you can't trust them, you will not get much done. Of course, if your goal is not to get things done but play around and have fun, that does not matter.
The problem you mention of separating out individual windows from dozens of others is a real one, and if skins helps that is good. I think that is more of an unintended side consequence of skins than the real reason people build them.
From reading the article, it doesn't look like the TLD was actually sold. DotTV will pay $1M per quarter for 10 years. It doesn't say what happens then, but I would guess DotTV only bought he rights to resell the domain for 10 years, not the domain itself.
Note that that is a guess on my part, the article doesn't really say anything either way. The/. headline calls it SOLD, but I wouldn't trust that.
I'm sick of hearing the issue framed in these slanted terms, and I would have hoped that at least slashdot would know better.
The fact is that internet sales are taxed in the US, just like any other sales. That means that within a state sales tax apply, and between states, it doesn't. Just like for any other sales channel.
What is being discussed (if this word can even be used to refer to the confused grunting sounds surrounding this issue) is taxing sales between states. Rarely is it taxing internet sales as such. Should such a tax ever be enacted, we will see online order form disappear change shape, so that you fill out your online order up until the last step, then phone in the CC# making it a regular mail order instead of an "internet order".
Regarding language the world or the net is not US-centric, it is English-centric. Most of the worlds English speakers are not American, which reveals an amusing US-centric touch to that accusation of US-centricness:-)
Anyway, the world is well on its way to become a one language zone. That language will be english. The lack of interest from native english speakers to learn other languages is entirely sensible. Why should they? To be polite to other nations? Nobody learns english to be polite!
In other regards the world is mercilessly anti american. The arcane US measurments "system" will be crushed by the metric system over the next few decades in a painful and pathetic process. And it will be for the same reason that english will take over as world language.
OK, if I haven't convinced you yet, surely this fact will be the killer. Wait for it. A little more. OK, here: I'm not a native english speaker myself!!

They'll release a public beta "in the summer". So hack away!

You seem to claim to
1. read every SF book that comes out
2. know all technologies of the future.
Color me sceptic...

So, you can send in anonymous reports on students. Over the internet.
I can't help but think that they'll be swamped with 1000 fake reports for every real one. They'll be a prime target for the misfits themselves.
It just seems inherently flawed. I doubt that they can even get this to work at all. So don't worry too much about it.

Yeah, yeah, They could.
But in this kind of countries, the money usually end up in the hands of the ruling elite. That is, after all, why they are poor in the first place.
Not that I know squat about Tuvalu specifically.
Well... Since this is the Tuvalian domain, it would seem to be be Tuvalian copyright law that had to settle this, not US law.

You know... It could happen.
I don't want to clamp down on fun and creative ideas, but...
1000 times more likely: The palm falls out of your backpack. You get to pay $20k for the helicopter rescue the palm sent for while you kept hiking.
Does anyone know what platforms will be supported? Somebody mentioned a Windows and Linux version. How about Solaris, Mac, etc?
