IMO, Intel still is the M$ of the processor market, at least in home PCs.
Still, if it hadn't been for IBM deciding in the early 80s that having all its CPUs come from one manufacturer was stupid, AMD would never have had access to the x86 chip specifications, and thus would most likely be a footnote in the history of CPUs.
You don't have to take my word for it either: AMD themselves say this: "1982 At IBM's request, AMD signs an agreement to serve as a second source to Intel for IBM PC microprocessors"
I wouldn't be surprised. I live in an area where GM has a heavy influence; they were the number two employer here after the state of Michigan itself the last time I checked. The only public transit we have it busses. I wouldn't be surprised if they were made by GM, just like Wikipedia says Cleveland's were.
GP isn't talking about a Linux dev environment, he's talking about a Perl dev environment. Since Perl is cross-platform, the dev environment should be as well.
We have Parallels for Mac OS X, which seems to be quite capable at running Windows programs at a decent speed, with good compatibility. What do we have on Linux? Wine? Crossover Office?
WINE is a compatibility layer. Not surprisingly, it isn't perfect, particularly not when compared to an actual virtual machine. If you want to compare apples to apples (excuse the pun), try VMWare, Xen, qemu, or bochs. Heck, there's even a specialized version of VMWare for OSX, VMWare Fusion, that you could compare it to. However, I'm guessing that since you already bought Parallels, you'd rather not spend even more money to buy another product that essentially does the same thing.
Well yeah, I picked that little snippet because it's a bunch of functions strung together. I can understand some people finding it a bit confusing, but any Python programming with real experience can look at the line I posted and know exactly what it does within a couple seconds. Well, unless they don't know what "dir" does. Even the popen code can be figured out in context.
...except that, from context, you weren't trying to give an example that Python programmers could understand...
Besides, chains like that work in most OO languages.
Maybe Google should just require to you accept your friends manually, just like everyone else (MySpace, Facebook, even MSN), and then, since we are already used to the idea that they will see everything we share, this won't be a problem.
From the article, that's the way it used to work. Then Google decided to change it to share everything with everyone in your GMail contacts, with no warning that it was being changed. Surprise!

OutOfMemoryError is not an exception and thus is not required to be caught. In fact, Sun recommends that you don't try to catch errors.
Three weeks ago, that is. Apparently I can't count.
Two sundays ago, actually.
Yes, but did Netcraft confirm it?

So that not just anyone can run it on a family computer?

Defrag requiring administrative privileges has a really simple answer: They don't want normal employees running it in big businesses.

I suppose next you're going to say that they killed Marvin Acme so that they could buy up Toontown.

Don't you mean "c-strudent?"
Don't worry, you'll have no trouble remembering the new address. It's b439:88fa:31d3:0507:613a:426c:99ba:02e2 .

PC Load Letter?! WTF does that mean?!
Really? I would have thought computer chips would be a big export, too.
Then again, I have no idea how many chips Intel, AMD/ATI, IBM, and nVidia make outside of the US.
Maybe because most CD writing programs don't have lossless codecs?
Hey, I have a great idea! Aperture Science should launch a GLaDOS satellite!
Then we can all be test subjects and enjoy delicious and moist cake!

Maybe, but CSS doesn't without all sorts of IE-specific hacks.
