I sense the development of a EULA that will eclipse all other EULAs combined.
This going to be very invasive, to say the least. It will probably background connect to a MS server somewhere and record every file download from every IP hosting said file. I don't trust it.
I think too many people here are thinking that with Apple's Intel announcement that OS X will be able to run on any thrown together, piece of crap Intel computer out there. Apple will continue to sell their own cases containing Apple-designed motherboards that just happens to have an Intel chip in it. I seriously doubt that OS X (Intel) will be able to run on anything but Apple's hardware. That does not follow with Apple's history of business.
The article had a few really good points with which I whole-heartedly agreed but his inability to write the article without the use of profanity was a real turn off.
If you want a quality application launcher (that's all you really do with Win+R anyways) you can try Quicksilver. This thing is absolutely wonderful and it's free.
Thank God you had the courage to ascended above the evil Apple Gestapo, who hunt down any one who reveals the truth about Apple products.
That has got to be a joke. I don't really have any strong devotion to Apple but I think that their HW/SW technology is very nice. My experience with Spotlight on all my Power* machines has been great.
I own a couple of dual CPU PowerMacs, a PowerBook, an HP Pavillion 7000 or 8000 series laptop (can't remember), 7 Intel boxes running everything from *BSD to Linux to Windows to OS/2.
I'd much rather have a SunFire 1280 or two at home with a NetApp filer but I doubt that is going to happen any time soon.;-)
As for the documentation, yes, I love the way PHP has set it up. Perl's manpages are nice, but still harder to read and slower to access. The php.net/function redirect is a very nice idea, indeed:)
That's the one thing Perl needs to improve. Also, the php.net/function website allows for users to offer lessons learned while using a particular function. It would be sooooooooo nice to have a Perl equivalent. Sooooooooooooooo nice.

Symantec has issued yet another warning that the world will end as soon as all the worms and viruses unite against true carbon-based life forms. Symantec CEO John W. Thompson was quoted as saying, "If people would have heeded all our warnings about the coming war between reality and virtual reality we would not be headed for certain doom." At that point he started crying as his company's stock soared to record highs.
Up next, Symantec issues a warning to the Mac/UNIX community saying that their computers are too safe from Windows-based viruses. "We can no longer support operating systems that flaunt their security in face of corporate IT managers everywhere when millions of starving children are dying of malnutrition."
The Weekly World News news service will be right back after this message from our sponsor, Symantec. Ensuring your fear, uncertainty and doubt since 1982.
Actually, there is another way to accomplish this. In your System Preferences, click on Sharing. In the Services tab you'll see Windows Sharing. You could stop and start that because the help page for Mac OS X Services show that one "using SMB/CIFS (Samba)". I haven't tried it but it should work.
I don't agree at all. I think the main reason people thought I & II were bad was because they weren't instant gratification movies. Character development done right is a very difficult thing to do in a movie. There just isn't enough time. This is the norm for books. If the reader couldn't get into the mind of the characters the book would be dull.

That comparison is the basis for judging who is in the lead?!?! Are good tech stories really that hard to come by these days?

The KHTML developers will just start crying about something else no doubt...

Rhode Island here, too, but I think Family Guy is lame. Sorry.
Now, I never believed it before but Dumb and Dumber is actually funnier when viewed from the RI state of mind. Go figure.
Sorry, but Linux is not POSIX compliant like *BSD releases.

I'd much rather have a SunFire 1280 or two at home with a NetApp filer but I doubt that is going to happen any time soon.I have that same setup and I haven't noticed any slow down. It is very responsive and I haven't ever noticed the beach ball.
Do you have a very large amount of data?What kind of problems are you having with it?
I'm not an expert on it but it sounds like you're talking about mod_php.
You do realize that PHP started out as a Perl module don't you? Ever hear of Personal Home Page?
We have a perl regex that is 80 lines line (one item per line). I get the willies just thinking about utilizing that kind of power in a C program.
Also, for true speed increases in Perl, don't use the RegEx engine. Use hashes. That alone will speed you Perl program exponentially.
Oh crap! A recursive discussion!
Oh dear! I made fun of Slashdot. Quick! Quick! Mod it overated!
"When Mods Go Bad." Next on Fox.
This is Slashdot after all.

While there isn't a restart command available, there are the stop and start commands. Also, on the Mac the service is called smbd.
/sbin/service smbd stop /sbin/service smbd start
$ sudo
$ sudo
if you type:
$ service --list
you'll get a list of the available services with which to work
I like your write-up.
