Apple had TPMs at one point, although they were only used to allow people to implement stuff on top. They were later dropped, probably for cost reasons.

Can you tell us the simulant's composition? Is it something one can (safely) recreate at home? It sounds exactly like something many geeks would love to play around with. Including me.
Which is why I (a German, for the record) don't expect the lawsuit over the English article to go anywhere. Yes, they're overstepping their bounds by doing anything but asking. I do endorse their removal from the German Wikipedia but the English one is out of their reach.
That's because we don't think letting everyone do everything is the solution to all problems.
You know, we've become fairly peaceful after the war - I still remember the debates when we were pressured into joining the UN forces in the Kosovo and many people considered the idea of deploying German soldiers in foreign countries at least highly controversial. I think that might in part be due to the basic right to human dignity being the very first article in our Basic Law and the foundation on which this country was built.
And that's the very point here: Even though these people murdered someone they have an inviolable right to dignity. Naming them would violate their dignity in a fairly obvious manner. Thus they are not to be named.
You're free to disagree but that's what this country was built upon. We're past "an eye for an eye".
So some American wrote something he believed in into the American constitution. Some Germans wrote what they believed in into the German constitution. like the very first article:
(1)Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority.
(2) The German people therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world.
(3) The following basic rights shall bind the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary as directly applicable law.
That's what our society is built upon. Personal freedoms come second, equality before the law third, freedom of faith fourth and freedom of speech fifth. Of course they're all equally important as far as the law is concerned and nobody except a lawyer cares about the exact order anyway. But that first article is the important one: We believe that everyone has a basic, inviolable right to dignity. Freedom of speech violates the ex-inmates' dignity in this case, therefore freedom of speech is wrong in this case.
Yes, the USA think differently. Yes, I'm going to receive two dozen answers all angrily telling me that Germany must be completely insane to not put freedom of speech above everything else and that this guarantees we will devolve into an inhuman, totalitarian regime any minute now because non-total freedom of speech invariably begets total censorship. Hey, if you feel particularly zealous why don't you suggest we topple the government through force?
I don't care. I don't declare freedom-of-speech-at-all-costs my personal god. If someone thinks that makes me borderline fascist then so be it.
Er, no. The law forbids naming them in publications released after they were released from prison. It doesn't try to change history, revive Bismarck or bring the dinosaurs back.
Wikipedia and similar online publications can be seen as constantly being published, thus one could argue that they apply.
You're asking a person that most likely wouldn't want to release them at all. Most people commenting on this story don't seem to subscribe to the notion of a former inmate deserving dignity.
Given how people are, that makes redemption impossible. Look at the comments here - half the people say that because they murdered someone they shall never be respected again by anyone, thus it's imperative that everyone be told about what they did. In short, because they took a life they shall never be able to properly live one.
I don't know about the States but I like to think that over here we've outgrown eye-for-an-eye. Granted, I'd feel uneasy around someone I know to be a murderer but I wouldn't go out of my way to harm them.
Back when I used Gentoo the CFLAGS where something to the tune of -march=k8 -pipe. Dunno if I had -O2. Probably, because IIRC it's in the default Stage 3 image and I didn't feel like recompiling everything. Well, more everything than you recompile anyway.
I don't believe in over-optimizing CFLAGS; I went with Gentoo because Portage was the package manager that did what I wanted. (My global USE, however, was some 400 characters long.)
Nowadays (having emigrated to OS X) my taste in Linux lies with Ubuntu, for the sole reason that it's easy and fast to use in a VM. Gentoo requires too much upkeep for that.
When did you last use MacFUSE? In my experience it's quite stable - and apparently both VMWare and Parallels think so as they bundle it with their desktop virtualization software.
If it was part of Windows as shipped then nothing much would change - mere aggregation does not constitute a derived work. Microsoft would still only have to open-source (or pay for) the program itself.
An MBH is obviously a Medium Black Hole, as opposed to a Small Black Hole (SBH) a Large Black holes (LBH), or a Clan Extended-Range Large Black Hole (ER LBH).
My guess is that an Apple netbook would be ARM based - they already have the kernel running on ARM (iPhone OS) and the Cortex A9 is not unattractive. Then again I have no idea what Apple is going to do in the future, except that it will probably be smaller and more elegant than what they offer now.
That's why I like Apple's approach: You have NSString and NSMutableString, which inherits from NSString so nobody expecting a NSString cares if you use the mutable version of it.

Wow. That's a pretty low opinion of all other OSes you have there.
If they like Sony notebooks that must be because they're in love with Num-Lock.
I assume that the GP wishes they had involved more true Scotsmen.

Yeah, that's going to work well. Hey, maybe you can up your inmate numbers from 1% of all citizens to 2% or even 5%!
I think you should adopt the Judge Dredd model and get rid of all noncapital punishment. And never ever come to Europe.
Yet.

You are aware that OS X natively supports NFS and MacFUSE works exactly like Linux FUSE?
1.) Install Gentoo Linux
2.) USE="-alsa -cups -dbus -gstreamer -kde -gnome -mono -opengl" emerge xfce4-meta firefox terminal openoffice eclipse-sdk
I am aware that xfce4-meta contains unneccessary cruft but you should be able to deal with it.
