If my business depends on an OSS application, and it gets shut down, I can potentially go on about my business as I have the executables and wouldn't have to stop using them until someone came knocking at my door.
Do the terms "willful infringement" and "triple damages" mean anything to you?
Indeed. And don't forget the excellent open source Ada compiler, GNAT, part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and available on Mac OS X and integrated with Xcode and Project Builder (yee haw).
As a precedent to the Kansas Board of Education redefining science, I recall, in my days as a graduate student at the University of Illinois, learning that the Illinois legislature (or was it the Indiana legislsture?) had once redefined pi to be exactly 3. (This must have been many decades before Intel tried a similar stunt with the Pentium divide malfunction.)
Also, I recall a short-lived comic strip in the U of Illinois student newspaper which was based on the premise that the laws of nature are legislated and the laws of man are fixed. It was hilarious beyond description, but liberal arts students wrote letters of complaint to the editor because they didn't get the jokes and felt that the strip made fun of them, or something like that. I shit you not. An example of what the writer dealt with was the meaning of red shift in the world of his characters--it dealt not with Doppler effects on light from receding stars, but the tendency of democratic governments to move towards Communism.
If anyone recalls this most excellent of comic strips I would love to hear their recollections. I believe it appeared for only a few weeks in the Daily Illini sometime between 1984 and 1989.

Too Many Passwords

Macintosh has had a password manager, Keychain, since 1995. It uses a single master password and integrates with applications. For example, if you access a web site with a Keychain-savvy browser such as Safari, Omniweb, or Camino, the site's password and username fields are automagically filled in. Other applications are supported. See the other poster on this subject whose post was buried.
It seems to me that perhaps the best approach to take against ads is to have the browser accept them but then not display them. I think that this is possible, and the sender of the ad has no way of knowing that the ad was never seen.
I _think_ that this is what OmniWeb (the top-of-the-line browser on Mac OS X) does. Also, OmniWeb has extensive, customizable settings to specifically reject certain (classes of) ads and to specifically accept certain (classes of) others. Granted, it is not for the dim of mind, as it requires a bit of grep to be effective, but it does work very well with a bit of tweaking.
.Mac is giving subscribers a $20 rebate on Macromedia Contribute. Also, free iBlog, free Virex (like they'll really need that), free Backup utility, free VersionTracker Plus (like they'll use that), training stuff (some free), free sound tracks for their movies, thousands of free AACs, automatic address syncing for access from any browser on any computer, bla bla bla.
Apple's dotmac (www.mac.com) is AFAIK hands down the best way to go. It is tightly integrated with the "iApps" and the OS itself, with the user's site appearing as a hard disk on the desktop so that it can, in addition to be a personal web site, be used for backups and public folders etc. Publishing selected photos from iPhoto, for example, is just a couple of clicks.

'As far as we could tell, there was nothing fishy going on with the benchmarks or the install.'
"Install" is not a noun.
I didn't realize that work was being shipped off-planet.
Is that two cell phones in your pants or do you just have a big ass?

Indeed. And don't forget the excellent open source Ada compiler, GNAT, part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and available on Mac OS X and integrated with Xcode and Project Builder (yee haw).I know what the conversions do, and I use them appropriately.
Glad to hear that you don't make mistakes. You're the guy that C etc. were designed for.I can't believe they're putting still more lipstick on this pig.

1995, Dude.
Confirmed here. Also, the page works in Camino (uses Mozilla but a "real" Mac program) and doesn't work with OmniWeb (uses WebKit).

I had it three days before they started recording it.
