There is plenty of ways to support iOS development without keeping the costly OSX alive. iOS development tools can be made to run on top of something else at probably much lower cost than a single major OSX update. Not going to happen overnight but continuous babbling about OSX being required to develop for iOS makes me wonder if people can't really see anything beyond the surface..
Sorry - I am a ham myself (for many years now) - but he's got a point. The number of licences and the relative ease of acquiring one these days, makes it exactly feel like the next CB, where "everything goes". Again - I am sorry but that is how an older ham sees (or rather: hears) it.

Can he?
Ah - you wrote "_your_ e-mail", right? I am pretty sure he can't do much of reading of _my_ e-mail based on this particular exploit.
And if _you_ rely on WPA (or whatever) within your (W)LAN to protect you from unauthorised reading of your e-mail, then you should really reconsider your approach to data security.
Mobile phones emit a couple of hundred milliwatts *at full power*
Last time I checked it was up to 2W "at full power" and indeed adequately less when not needed. I happen to be a ham and also use multiband handheld transceivers with 5W output. Modern ham transceivers are of similar size as phones and have similarly sized batteries.
Still it doesn't change two simple facts: 1) the phone emits order of magnitude stronger field (when the coverage is poor), 2) it does it at zero distance from your body (field strength decreases exponentially with distance from the antena). Combine the two and you have multiple orders of magnitude difference between electronics scattered around the premise, and a cellphone touching your head.
Don't believe? Put one of the stronger transmitters in today's household like a WiFi router a meter from an old TV and check if there is any influence on the sound and picture. Then place on the same old, CRT-based TV a cellphone with poor network coverage (high output power), make the phone transmit and check whether you can both hear and see what's happening to the sound and picture. This is the difference I am talking about.
Last time I checked it was up to 2W. It doesn't change much though. Even with 1W there is orders of magnitude difference in the potential influence, not to mention the exponential decrease of the field's strength with distance.
The gap between electronics which (as a byproduct of what it is designed to do) emit microwatts of electromagnetic radiation, yards away from one's body and brain, and a cellphone emitting watts of electromagnetic radiation an inch away is at least as big if not much bigger.
Nuclear waste to the moon! We give both space a chance and Earth the energy!
And while you are at building the waste storage, please give it a proper name. Since it is going to be the first such base, name it after the first letter of the greek alphabet.

After reading the rest of your post, I am almost sure you haven't really tried it
Just get on your bike or lift dumbells.
Why?
Killing your body by removing a required nutrient
This is my/. post after being long dead then. But even from the grave I can recognise the smart alecks who don't know what they babble about.
Simple equation: energy in == energy consumed. If that is not the case, you're doing it wrong.
Yeah - just like with every machinery. Cars for example: you can't put more fuel into the tank, because you don't consume it immediately, right? Wrong! The same with low carb diet. You put as much fuel as you like. Unless you confuse your body with different kinds of fuels at the same time - it will use as much as it needs. The problem with the car will start when you put both diesel oil and gasoline in the same tank. It will probably run for some time but not too long.
You obviously have enough self-discipline to prevent yourself from eating things you decide
The nice thing is that I don't have to have any self-discipline on that.
Do I need any self-discipline in order to fill my car with gasoline and not diesel? No. The same here. After switching the metabolism and adjusting your taste you simply don't eat things, which don't fit the diet because they don't fit and what's more - they don't taste well. The self-discipline is required only on the beginning. Some need one-two weeks, some need one-three months. Then it is all natural and no self-discipline is required.
so why not have the self-discipline to do the same using a healthy diet and some exercise?
Get to know what you are talking about first, please! I *am* using healthy (low carb) diet for many years and I don't need any special discipline to do that. I eat when I want. I exercise when I want - it's that simple.
O'rly? I was damn sure that Wind was produced in China (like everything else). Let me check, I have U100 here. It says "Assembled in China".. Ah, I see...
It seems that you are one of those who never really used it for any serious work. If you had - you wouldn't put this kind of comment. Ruby has already been pretty fast _for what it is meant and used for_. Of course - extra speed gain never hurts but the speed (while highly welcome) has not been the most important problem in the 1.8 versions.
I understand that you tried to be funny, insightful, informative, whatever with your First Post and there is not much time to seek insight knowledge before putting up the First Post...
Sure, but what is the difference between processing all the extra metadata using AFP as opposed to SMB, NFS, xxFS?! Does this make AFP (or SMB, [...]) slow or is it just the MacOS/Finder which saturates the bandwidth more with all its "goodies"? I believe that saying: "It's AFP [...] It's slow because it sacrifices speed for goodies like hi-res icons [...]" is disinformative:-) at least.
As others have mentioned, it's AFP, not AFS, but the point remains the same. It's slow because it sacrifices speed for goodies like hi-res icons, and remembering icon positions.
Huh? Do you say that network filesystem protocol is responsible for hi-res icons and remembering icon positions?! Well, that's certainly "informative"...
csv is text. there are various extractors xls2txt, xls2csv, (catdoc project) and more. The same applies for many other applications that do not exist on GNU systems. This also include Photoshop and its metadata. Exiftool is the first that comes to my mind but there may be other as well. Of course you won't find extractors for each and every possible format in the wild, but neither Spotlight handles all of them.

Exactly! We have that for ages, so we know what it is like!

Don't we use visible light in optic fibre for some time now? ;-)

Didn't you mix what is high and what is low entropy? Isn't Entropy (in great simplification) the level of DISorder?
