Obviously you've never installed GPG mail on OS X before. There's a simple installer script that does everything. Installing takes no more than a few clicks.
Remember that laws can never give you any rights, they can only take them away. That is, they never govern what a citizen can do, only what they can't do.
It seems like having gzip support would be more exciting though, since presumably one could combine it with a tar plugin, and that would allow you to cd into a gzipped file like a directory to access the uncompressed data, and then cd into the uncompressed data like a directory to get at the files themselves. Then there would be a totally transparent way to access tarballs that fits into the model that, from my understanding, Reiser4 follows.
OS X is a commercial UNIX, and it does not use ELF, it uses the Mach-O and PEF formats. (PEF format for old Mac OS 9 programs, Mach-O for Mac OS X native binaries).
Rendezvous accomplishes a lot more than dhcp does. In fact, rendezvous works in conjunction with dhcp. While dhcp allows for the automatic assignment of addresses, rendezvous allows for the discovery of the devices themselves, and their associated address. I can easily connect to another machine by using ssh, and connection to other-machines-hostname.local. Of course, this would be easy if you had DNS installed as well, using statically assigned dhcp addresses (bootp). However, anyone that connects into a network that has rendezvous will automatically have a name that resolves. Additionally, it advertises what services are running on those machines that connect, so that I can look at what machines on my network support things like apple file sharing, or ssh, viewing a list in my file sharing program or ssh program, respectively. This is something that you can't currently do without rendezvous.
The current rendezvous stack in OS X doesn't support this, but rendezvous directory lookups are supposed to be able to be advertised by a normal DNS server. That is, a service should be able to be advertised through BIND, so that if a multicast DNS lookup fails, the DNS lookup will work. Although I'm not sure of the precedence -- whether singlecast or multicast DNS takes precendence for a lookup. So rendezvous and traditional DNS are designed to work hand in hand.
Well, SOAP is simply an XML-based facility for remotely invoking methods on other machines. Rendezvous is an service that allows the advertisement of different services. Thus rendezvous can advertise a service that uses SOAP to communicate -- this way, two apps that use SOAP to communicate can find each other on the network easily. That is, they can both find out that the other is on the network, and what the specific ip address associated with the remote host that supports a service is so that they can connect to each other.
If you bought a newer battery for your powerbook, you would see it last a very long time -- they upped the wattage of the titanium powerbook batteries with each rev., and it got fairly high at the last rev compared to the first one (original ones were 50 watts, the last rev of the pbg4 batteries were around 65 watts).
Your existing songs won't become useless, you just won't be able to buy any new ones.
You can't buy any new ones because your new billing address will be in Canada. But this won't prevent you from playing your existing protected AAC files, or even from authorizing/deauthorizing your existing computers.
Actually, the browser does save all text on every web page to the hard disk, and you can search the full text of the web pages you've visited in real time (as in, search as you type). It then filters out the history items based on the search text.
So there are these two functions walking down the street, e^x and a constant. They're having a pleasant walk, catching up on old times, when all of a sudden they see someone walking towards them! "Oh my god! It's a derivative! I'm going to get killed!" says the constant, who runs away in the other direction as fast as possible. e^x thinks, "well, I'll be alright, I'm e^x, nothing can hurt me!" and continues on forwards. Soon they reach each other, and he introduces himself, "hi, I'm e^x." to which the derivative responds, "hi, I'm d/dy!"
Oh wait, maybe that's too much to ask from/. readers.
Microsoft is offering to license its FAT file system specification and associated intellectual property. With this license, other companies have the opportunity to standardize the FAT file system implementation in their products, and to improve file system compatibility across a range of computing and consumer electronics devices.
I don't see how this means anything about mandatory licensing. This just means that Microsoft will let you use their implementation, for a fee.
Fountain pens give you a sense of unity with the paper that you don't really get with any other type of pen. The uniball pens are close in comparison to a fountain pen, but fountain pens take the least strength to use -- there's very low resistance on straight lines, but as you write a curve, because of the way the nib is, you get resistance along the curve. This just makes it the ideal utensil to write with.
I do agree that it is easy to smudge the ink, but similarly uniball pens smudge easily. You just have to wait the extra few seconds for the ink to dry. I can understand not wanting to use a fountain pen if one is left handed though.
They should really just allow you to import your PGP key, and then all of you messages will be encrypted if the other user also has their PGP key imported. Plus, when using the direct connect aim feature, you could actually verify the authenticity of the remote person...
From what I remember, there was some conference at Tahoe where the first TCP variant was created. After that, people just decided to follow suit and call other variants after other nevada cities. This is what my communications network professor said, anyway.

You immediately get windows and buttons with Smalltalk (Squeak), too. And it's at least fifty times simpler than Java.

According to Motorola, the 7457 running at 1GHz dissipates less than 10 watts (8.3 typical, 11.5 max). By contrast, your 400Mhz powerbook dissipates 3.29 watts typical, 7.43 max. Of course Apple runs their 7457 chips at 1.33 and 1.5GHz, because speed seems to sell more than battery life.
If you bought a newer battery for your powerbook, you would see it last a very long time -- they upped the wattage of the titanium powerbook batteries with each rev., and it got fairly high at the last rev compared to the first one (original ones were 50 watts, the last rev of the pbg4 batteries were around 65 watts).
Except for the parts that still take pascal strings!

That can't be good.

Perhaps your pen style needed an angled nib.

How about going to the file menu -> File Info
You can enter in a lot of textual information there.
