Apple has developed launchd as an open source project that it hopes will be adopted by the wider Unix community. To the average Unix hacker, launchd probably looks like a reinvention of the wheel. I think it addresses a problem the Unix community doesn't even know that it has. In this way it's much like Mac OS X itself. There was "Unix on the desktop," and then there was Mac OS X. You'd think that alone would have been a big enough wake-up call.
And if holding the power button down doesn't work, press Option-Ctrl-Power and it'll reboot instantly (this is equivalent to pressing the reset button on a PC, so don't do it often;)
I submitted this about an hour ago, and it was rejected. Should I be offended that they accept everyone else's dupes but not mine? Ah, well.
It is interesting to note that, at least in the UK, Tiger is actually £10 cheaper than the current price for Panther (the previous release). They're also giving those who order now access to an exclusing "Online Seminar", which sounds quite interesting. I can't wait until next month when my copy arrives:)
ravenspear was wrong, there is not support for spellchecking in Camino, precicely because it doesn't use truely native widgets with gecko. Spellcheck support was, until recently, planned for 0.9 but has since been pushed-back to a later version (along with other useful features, such as form auto-complete) because of how long it would take to finish - they want to release 0.9 sooner rather than later.
/me waits to be called Troll for mentioning 'dead' in a post
Troll:-P (only joking)
there will be a slice of time where FreeBSD servers won't know what to do - stay with the dead but solid system, or move to the living but flaky one?
Is there any reason not to "stay with" FreeBSD 4? If it's getting the job done, then security updates are all you really need. If it's not getting the job done, then you should be questioning why you were using it in the first place.
I agree completely - AppleWorks is exactly the same as Claris Works (which is a bad thing); it doesn't even use widgets that fit in with Aqua.
I prefer OpenOffice to AbiWord, but with a Cocoa port years away AbiWord will do just fine for my day-to-day word processing needs. If there was a port of Gnumeric, and some equivalent of OOImpress I'd be all set.
I'm not sure what point you were making, but OS X's popularity comes from the old user base of OS 9 combined with the recent popularity of Apple's other products (i.e. the iPod). It's popularity has little to do with the inclusion of BSD code in the system.

Don't worry, they have Bruce Willis on speed dial, just incase.
The point is that it would be easier to build it on the Moon, so we could concentrate on perfecting the technology (on a smaller scale). If we get it working on the Moon first, it'll be easier to do on Earth.
I hate to say this, but a database frontend that's as good as MS Access would be nice - there are attempts at such applications currently in development, but nothing that's even close to usable.

That's it! He must have had some Mission Impossible style message on there - "this iPod will self destruct..."
Yes.

No need to clone it, from TFA:

According to their site (can't find the link now, sorry) you should be able to pay a small fee for shipping and get Tiger for free when it's released.

EITHER that Wine isn't 100% Microcrap or is more robust against viruses.
Can you have one without the other?
Of course there's also the issue of how the crime is committed. It's hard for someone to get shot during insurance fraud...
It's signed because it is necessary to deal with dates before 1970.
...are you telling me The Sun is not a reliable source of factual reporting?
Actually, it's more like 90%. I would say that blogs are a case where Sturgeon's Law definitely applies.

I'm in the UK too, so that's probably it.
I read about this on MacSlash (I think that was yesterday) and I still don't see any updates in Software Update. Am I missing something here?

This is very true; there is no chance you will be killed by a 'dirty bomb' (except maybe from the actual explosion, but the same is true of any bomb).
This, and other interesting facts, were covered in a recent three-part documentary by the BBC called The Power of Nightmares.

I think you misspelled "coasters"
You do realise that AOL already operated in Europe before this, right? I see their ads on TV all the time.
