God employs a lot of very nice people, but he has this strange penchant for employing pedophiles, too. Perhaps we're better off if He doesn't owe us jobs.
Don't you have to hack OS X just to get it to install on a Quadra? For that matter, does OS X even support old world firmware? Frankly NetBSD makes more sense.

You could possibly boot into the Open Firmware console and use a lot of voodoo to setup software RAID. And you can connect to the console remotely and possible load the software from another already-running machine.
Frankly I'd like that to happen. I used to use IE instead of Netscape because it was better at the time. There's no reason Microsoft can't make IE the best browser again--heaven knows they have the money and hackers.
You can always login as >console to use no GUI. Or modify your ttys file not to launch the GUI by default. Apple was so nice as to include the line you need, and comment it out.
Apple uses a radically different driver scheme than Linux. They use object-oriented drivers based on I/O Kit using a restricted subset of C++. Besides, the XNU kernel is based on Mach, so I doubt *nix drivers would be very useful.
Actually, there are. Namely, people who think that simulated images of child pornography where there are NO ACTUAL CHILDREN INVOLVED should be illegal. The Supreme Court recently struck down such a law.
Sometimes people don't follow the standard because they think their variation is better. For example, most Dvorak keyboard don't follow the ANSI standard, because ANSI Dvorak places ] as shift-[ and that's just stupid.
Sometimes people don't follow the standard because they tried and failed. This is not IE. This is more like Firefox not displaying/. properly.
Sometimes people intentionally break standards in order to create an environment where people are urged not to follow the standard because it's no longer universally supported.
In order to be truly like IE, Firefox would have to be non-standard in different ways than IE, and use different tactics to make it more popular, thus throwing the whole idea of standards out the window.
I'm not a web developer, but I can see why such a situation wouldn't be good for them.
I'll just list a few. And what's what? Apple acknowledging FSF copyright?

The point is that most criminals are stupid, since if they were smart, they could make it legit. I could probably do what this kid did without getting caught. Or I could spend that effort studying, getting a good grade for myself, and using my education to make more money than I would as a two-bit crook anyway.
FoolProof is a joke. I got around it by putting ResEdit on a disk, moving the resource fork for the extension to another file, and rebooting. Then just put the rsrc back into it and reboot again when finished. Granted, it takes longer, but it doesn't need any social engineering at all.
Actually, I used it to install Escape Velocity on the computers, with my friends and I having custom ships as NPCs (they did have games on them already). Some of the teachers even knew that I somehow was getting around security, but didn't seem to care.
I think what the grandparent was pointing out, is that there was a crime here regardless of the involvement of computers. Computers are just a tool. Should a burglar get a longer sentence for using a glass cutter to break into your house instead of smashing the window in with a baseball bat? The tool is irrelevant.
The iPod "locks out" the music by putting it in an invisible folder. The directory structure is pretty unintelligble, though, and it relies on an XML database for locating the songs and information. There are third party programs to transfer files, and even a Perl script could probably do the trick.
I had a pencil and paper RTS unimaginatively called "Space Wars." It involved taping six sheets of paper together, and using a fixed number of "points" each turn to build/equip/repair/transport ships. After a while it got a bit crowded though, with all the crossed-out ships that were destroyed or had moved. I had a folder detailing the different classes of ships (each player only had certain ships available to them) and the points to build/equip, etc. I have no fucking idea why I just wrote this, but I really wish I had that folder still.

So if I'm starving on a desert island, who's violating my rights? Is it you?

To be fair though, the entire OS isn't based on BSD--there's a bit of GNU, and a small amount of NeXTSTEP, too.

If you're karma whoring, at least have the decency to format your text. Only some people hate whores, but everybody hates ugly whores.
Fnord is why lisp has so many parentheses.

Very few cartoons are broadcast live, it's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists.
Super Mario Bros. 3 sold over 17 million copies last decade. No unbundled video game has ever sold more.
Funny, but scarily not implausible.
