Right. That's with the 2 23" monitors, the Airport Extreme card AND base station, the Surround Speakers, the Fibre Channel card for connecting to an XServer, etc. etc. That's more than a "fully-loaded G5 powermac". That's a whole lot of extras, you misleading fuck.
You, sir, are a god among trolls. Congratulations for what I suspect is one in a long line of successful windups against the ignorati of Slashdot. ^__^
Apple does include a web server in their consumer OS.
It's called Apache. (OMG)
It just happens to not be turned on by default, and also not to be a total hackable POS like the horror that is IIS.

Linux doesn't use CVS. Patches and additions to the code are submitted to Linus and other kernel developers by email or other means and added at their discretion. It's an informal process with little to no record-keeping.
It's known as Extensible C, or by the shorthand cx (also the extension on files written in the language). The main site with the info you need is here.
Complete horseshit. Both Kuwait and Iraq were randomly formed from various Ottoman provinces. Neither of them has any historical basis beyond British imperialism.
For Iraq to say "Kuwait is part of Iraq" is ridiculous considering that before WWI there was no such thing as "iraq" nor no cohesive national/territorial identity over that piece of land.
Just look at all the various ethnic groups that were put together in the cobbled-together state that the British created.... Yeah.
Also Mozilla 1.4 rocks.
"Revolution OS" is the only DVD I own that isn't CSS-encoded.
Seeing as it's about Linux and the GNU project, anything else would have been a travesty.
Apple took nothing from Linux, unless you are under the mistaken assumption that BSD = Linux. Please go ahead and inform RMS and Linus about your stunning revelation.
Apple has GIVEN to Linux, however, in case you've never heard of Quicktime Streaming Server (considered the Apache for streaming media); or, as NeXT, they were the ones responsible for adding Obj-C suppor to GCC. But I guess that's old hat, because by running a UNIX-based operating system, they must be TAKING FROM LINUX.

I've been using Mac OS X for almost two years now (since Public Beta). I thought all the time I spent dillying around in the terminal with the GNU tools would be good preparation for a Linux system so I finally got a throwaway P1 133 and installed Debian on it via floppies/network install. I don't know whether I'm just a lucky bastard or what, but all my hardware was recognized and working and I was browsing with Mozilla in X11 with my favorite window manager (WindowMaker) within an hour of installing everything I needed via apt (a lot of experience with fink, the OS X package manager, helped when using apt-get and dselect because its the same program;])
It looks like some folks are just lucky and some aren't. The hardest thing to do was get X11 to recognize this shite Mitsumi mouse the computer came with but a little bit of searching around the newsgroups and reading some man-pages sorted that out and I soon had GPM configured right. Mind you, I am NO UNIX geek, I just know how to RTFM. Yes, I had to edit a conf file for one second, to remove a section which a very clear error message told me was redundant. Is it SO HARD to use Pico? Yeesh.
In a lot of ways, I think these distros with the ultra-advanced installers and their own configuration systems are responsible for half of this writer's troubles. I think maybe she should have given Debian a shot, everything is just so.... logical... and you never have to do anything twice (and I have yet to see a better package system).
Of course, I ended up wiping the Linux box and installing OpenBSD so I can do some NAT and firewalling (assuming its not ILLEGAL soon....grrr... ). Now figuring out how to set THAT up will be a PITA, as I have three NICs installed and it only recognizes two, but I wouldn't expect something that complicated to be easy.
In terms of the article, I think folks are needlessly flaming the writer. I don't think the article came off as dissing Linux persay, but reasserting that in its current form, it is not ready for "the desktop". It may be ready for the "workstation desktop", where you are expected to be a power-user and perhaps have someone configure it for you, but the configuration is a bit too advanced to expect of Joe Sixpack and thanks to the Microsoft tax, no one's buying a system with Linux preinstalled except for Lindows (and Lindows is utter CACK). What can be done to make this better? I think the writer gave some damn good suggestions and instead of hating you might give them a quick listen.
Linux was easy enough for ME but that's cuz yo soy überg33kteh 31337 |_|54r. ('cept... no)

Yes, please mod the parent up. This post is excellent.
Wow, you're not the brightest bulb, are you?
I wish I had your life, Bigpeeler.

I was going to complain about how such a shitty post got modded "2 - funny" but then I realized you're an AC so you're not getting the karma anyway.
In place of my whine, I will salute you sir. 5 golden manbabies. Bigpeeler, I wish I had your life.
Sounds like you need to :gb2gbs: am i RITE
Fookoff this toupe.
Now that is interesting. MOD PARENT UP, PLZ.

That is quite possibly the most retarded post ever. You need to go back to GBS, stat.

I came.

Heh...

The instant this story broke I was leaving messages on my dad's machine saying "SHORT SCOX!!! SHORT SCOX!!!".
Unfortunately, he didn't get them until the market had already closed.

Can't find server. Damn!

Some folks were complaining about this on MacNN. Seems if you rename Apple's x11 app to XDarwin, all should work. Hope that's helpful.
