    Sure you don't mean ENTRAILS? I didn't think birds left contrails (or chemtrails if that's what you believe)

    How can we argue that for eternity? BSD and Apple will be dead within a year!

  3. Re:So much for the marketing people on XM PCR Control Program for Mac OS X · · Score: 3, Informative

    I would not be terribly surprised if Apple just paid the guy off and started including this thing in a future release of iTunes, although it would probably take a couple generations before this happened.

    Several additions to Mac OS 7.5 came directly from shareware programs. The Menu Bar Clock was originally SuperClock! which was distributed with a Macworld book. The submenus under the Apple Menu were also available as a shareware add-on, as were the PopupFolders (when you double-click on a folder and hold down the mouse button, the folder opens up up in a window right under the pointer)

    it's perfectly ok to charge people for free software

    the fsf used to do it. perhaps they still do!

  5. Re:One of these things is not like the other.... on Free Software as a Public Good · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not so!

    The FSF got its start by selling tapes of the Emacs source code and precompiled binaries! You could also get GCC+binutils+stuff tapes and X11R4 stuff.

    They were $150+ a pop for a while.

    From :

    "Aside from this, we must remember that only part of Mac OS X is being released under the APSL. Even though the fatal flaws of the APSL were fixed, and even if the practical problems were addressed, that does no good for the other parts of Mac OS X whose source code is not being released at all. We must not judge all of a company by just part of what they do. "


    So no, the FSF does NOT think that Apple is good, but the FSF also has a very one-dimensional method of determining moral quality, don't they?

    The Sun is more like the National Enquirer with a topless girl on Page 3. It's not even as respectable as Playboy.

  16. Re:Merkin? on Slow And Steady Leads To Windows Refund Success · · Score: 1

    Merkin is a derogatory term for those living in the United States. It's used as a substitute for 'American' because 'American' is technically applicable to those of Canadian, Mexican, Honduran, Dominican, etc. etc. nationality. I have usually seen it used pejoratively by the English, so I tend to have a negative reaction.

    You can also use 'USAn' for the same purpose, which actually sounds sufficiently silly.
