when I was in university our alarms had these small glass tubes that would break if you pulled down on the lever and release some chemical that could be used to identify whomever had pulled the alarm.
I think there is a pre-release out there. I've had a customer send me a bug report with uname that returned darwin > 8.8.0 on a PPC mac. this is low level code that has a set of platform specific functions for each of the platforms we support. the Darwin versions (this doesn't need OS X, it will run on straight Darwin) are based on FreeBSD (with a big chunk of modifications we made for Tiger) and made extensive use of libkvm. Starting on Tiger for Intel,/dev/kmem was disabled by default (can be reenabled by a kernel parameter) and thus any kvm_open call would fail, so I was already working on removing the libkvm dependencies, but this bug report was the first and only report of the problem on PPC Macs
My old university taught the introductory courses in C++, upper level courses usually allowed assignments in the language of our choice. There was an elective course in Java. My computer modeling professor was annoyed by one student that insisted in doing is homework in Lisp (he was a student with an AI focus). The modeling professor's favorite language was Fortran. I tried to get on his good side by turning in a few assignments in Fortran 77:)
now the department teaches first year students in Scheme, then I think they are exposed to C++ and Java after they already know programming concepts.
Maine's motto is Dirogo, or "I lead". It's good to see my government living up to this once in a while.
By the way, in 1839 the Governor of Maine decared war on England over a boundary dispute with New Brunswick. This was the only time a state has decared war on a foreign power. The conflict was settled before any blood was shed.
plenty of good American beers are more than 3-4 percent (unless you live in Utah or something). most of the beers I drink are around 5, but some are 7-9% or more
when I was a grad student in Maine we had about 14 inches of snow overnight, and I had a final exam the next day. I lived close, but off campus. I spent the morning before my final (it was an afternoon final) digging several stuck cars out of our parking lot and pushing several cars through the intersection near our apartment building (the building was in a downtown area right on the corner). During the big storm they switched the traffic light so that the main street didn't have to stop (the intersection is on a hill), but people were still getting stuck trying to make it up the hill, or when trying to turn...
I made it to my final, parked in an unplowed lot, helped push a stuck car, went and took my test, and then left (I think I helped another car get out of the lot after my final too). My 4WD came in handy that day.
I wonder how much snow it would have taken to reschedule that day's final exams?
I suppose you could re-write libkvm to use the mach API, but right now kvm_open will fail on a default setup of OS X x86 or OS X PPC based on Darwin 8.8.1 or later. Maybe I should have said the libkvm shipped by Apple (as well as libkvm shipped with every BSD variant) *requires*/dev/kmem. Using libkvm on current OS X releases requires that you re-enable/dev/kmem.
OS X for Intel shipped with/dev/kmem disabled by default, which breaks libkvm (they kept the libkvm header and object files around though, and/dev/kmem can be re-enabled through a kernel boot argument). It is expected future versions will drop the support completely. It also appears that OS X on PPC based on Darwin 8.8.1 or newer also has/dev/kmem disabled by default.
I just had to remove all dependencies on libkvm for a project I work on, since we recently had our first users try to use it on OS X x86. It is software used on HPC clusters and SMPs, so there hadn't been much interest in OS X x86 until the Xeon XServes. I had been trying to get a hold of an x86 system to test on for months, and then this problem hit us.
Obviously this could affect OS X/Darwin until they completely phase this out and remove libkvm objects and headers from the software distribution.
umm, weren't the first mormons were polygamists because the women far outnumbered the men, and a single woman would have a hard time surviving in the fronteer
I've been a daily Mac user for over two years (that is when my Linux workstation at work was replaced with a Mac), and I never use Safari. I don't think I've even launched it in over a year. I'm sure there are many Mac users who prefer Firefox as I do.
When I was a kid they applied special paint to our green chalkboards to turn them black, because it turned out a few students with visual imparements could read the white on black easier than white on green. Eventually they replaced them with dry erase boards, since black on white was even better for the visually impared. So I think green chaulkboard blackboard whiteboard
that didn't happen over night. For me to replaced my gasoline burning vehicle with an overhead power highway/capacitor design, I would need to be able to drive anywhere I want. That would include rural roads that only see a few dozen (or less) cars per hour. You are talking something that could cost trillions.
actually the General American accent (closely resembles the midwestern local accent) is how the English spoke the the first English-speaking settelers came to North America. The New England and New York accents developed when their residents immitated, or partially immitated, some of the the changes thet British English was going through (since these communities still had close ties with the English). English speakers that moved west no longer had contact with the English and their language remained relatively preserved. So someone in England in the 17th century had an accent fairly close to Tom Brokaw.

In Maine we don't have coin-based slot machines because the quarters are so heavy they are considered to pose an unecessary work-injury risk.
The slot parlor in my city has a background sound of the familliar quarter-based jackpot payout to give the place the familliar casino sound

Its not like Moore's Law is a law of physics (like the speed of light). Its more like an observation.

wouldn't countries with socalized medicine be striving for a cure to cut down on the huge costs of caring for cancer patients?
just bring the blind person to a shooting range. They won't know the difference!!
there is also libkvm (for kvm_open, kvm_read, etc)
I like pulling out too. cuming all over her tits or face is so much hotter
I live in Maine, and travel to Quebec City farily often. In the heart of the city you can definately get by with minnimal or no French
whoosh!
What was that?

the up front cost for infrastructure would be prohibitive
