If I'm remembering right (I didn't personally set up the Mac) it prompts you with a group of items to check on and off during the install.
Nowhere during the OS X install process does it present the user with an option to enable Samba. That has to be done separately from the Sharing preference pane.
Often it is difficult to figure out why certain options are dimmed and under what context they will become active. I don't see a better alternative though other than better documentation, and since no one reads software manuals that wouldn't help much. I certainly don't want more text explaining the situation to clutter up menus even further.
"The Air Force finally admitted the existence of Area 51 on April 17, 2000, when Air Force spokeswoman Gloria Cales told Associated Press reporters, "We acknowledge having an operating site there [Area 51], and the work is classified." Cales added that the work done at Area 51 involved "operations critical to the U.S. military and the country's security."
Could be, but only if someone was using Nmap to try to get her out of the Matrix and ran afoul of phone phreaking laws.
What with all the new Gov. VoIP regulations being debated about, it's only reasonable that the FBI would want to prevent unauthorized access to the Matrix.
For the most part it is the companies making the spyware that get to sell ads to the people it infects and the website publishers that promote "pay to install" affiliate programs.
to add corporate catering, innovation retarding, *IAA enforcing, common law redefining, content restricting, product shilling, obsessively litigating, objectivity abandoning, livestock fucking, (well ok maybe not that last one).
well, i downloaded the pdf of the study and read the whole damn thing. the bottom line: the ms solution was cheaper... if you factored in the "retraining costs" required to move your "existing i.t. staff" to use linux.
That's why it's better to skip the "retraining" entirely. Just fire the whole staff and hire some unemployed linux geeks.
Seriously though, it's the kind of utterly stupid people that whine and carry on about the moon hoax crap that are more responsible than anyone for assisting the cultural decline of support for NASA and space exploration.

Indeed. The Army was actually planning to establish a moon base in the 1950s (Project Horizon) but that was killed off when NASA's moon initiatives were given priority.
By all accounts, modern iTunes is a mix of Carbon, Cocoa, and QuickTime. The QuickTime API has been ported to Windows, but historically speaking Carbon consists of about 70% of the original Macintosh APIs, which have then been extended for modern OS X capabilities.
Okay, maybe they didn't port the entire Carbon API but many of the parts they would have needed were already ported. Quicktime was written in Carbon and iTunes uses a lot of Quicktime code.
I mean come on, 99+% of all open source Linux apps can run natively on OS X
This is the difference. iTunes is not an open source app. It heavily uses proprietary code (Carbon) derived from the classic MacOS (9 and earlier). They would have to port that API to linux before they could port the app. That would be a large effort considering the small market share of Linux. Porting to Windows was a bit easier as there was a huge opportunity to expand iTMS and iTunes revenues, and they had already ported Carbon to Windows.

Exactly, plus the nice thing is the more popular networks on the Mac like Gnutella and OpenFT don't support this kind of privacy invasion device either.
I love SG-1 (Atlantis is good too) and I'm glad it's coming back, but I hope it doesn't end up going way too long like the X-Files. I've noticed that the production quality has declined somewhat this season. It just feels too routine, there's not much spontaneity in the show anymore. And I don't think it will do better if RDA's role is reduced even further. If they can keep a good show going then it could work, but I'm a bit skeptical at this point.
Well, my comment was based on what NASA officials said in this article. Maybe it's something specific to this engine that makes it impossible to test there.
the new bit is accelerating to mach 10 once you get there
Actually no. The rocket booster accelerates it to Mach 10. We've had rockets that could do that since the 60s. The new bit is maintaining that velocity with an air breathing engine.

Given the stupidity of some of our current leaders, and the content of your post, I wouldn't be surprised if that has already happened.
Try here.

Actually, the government still refuses to confirm or deny the existance of Area 51.
Actually no. The Air Force admitted to its existence several years ago.

and you can't infringe (steal!) copyrighted material
Who says you can't infringe on the Mac? Ever heard of Poisoned or Xfactor?

welcome our new Gov. enforcing, brutally regulating, fiercely punishing, justice mutilating, freedom curtailing, property upholding, paradigm shattering, useless blathering IP overlords.
It costs $700. I have to eat you know.

/. is not tech support
Unfortunately Cliff thinks it is. He posts this kind of junk all the time, especially in the Apple section.
This at the same time when the DOD is undertaking serious efforts to remove public access to satellite imagery.
Posts getting modded insightful for containing flawed analyses totally unrelated to the article that no one has even read.

1) It cheats. It uses a booster rocket to get 90% of its velocity.
It also relies on another aircraft (B-52) to lift it to the required initial altitude.
