Computer science has existed long before computers as you know them. You seem to think computer science is some job, like web development. I'd call that computer engineering, or computer programming. Not science.
"That there is a biological difference between men and woman's brains, which leads to them having different interests and careers, is irrelevant. They should still be paid the same. The important lesson for computer programmers is that they should not look down on makeup artists and prostitutes, because they deserve to be given the exact same respect and compensation that you receive"
I'm sorry what are you trying to say? When you think of jobs for males, you think computer programmer. When you think of female jobs, you think makup artist and prostitute? What the hell?
What do you mean "they should be paid the same"? Female programmers are paid the same as the equivalent male programmer. You think prostitutes and makeup artists should get paid the same as a programmer?
We should not look down on prostitutes? Uh, why not? It is not a respectable "job". There can be male prostitutes as well you know, and I think they're just as bad as their vaginal counterparts.
Really, I'm just blown away that you think that makeup and prostitution sums up females "interest and careers".
I would say you are new here, but your ID clearly shows you are not. The "nothing to see here" joke is old, and is used every other article. In the same boat as "In Soviet Russia, MPAA uploads you!" or some other memes
No, the Darwin kernel is MACH + NeXT + Mac, in fact very little of it is BSD (90% of the userland tools, however, are modified BSD tools)
Most of the code was either written by Apple or bought by Apple.
Uh, who gives a crap who physically built it, an expert designed it. You're right, working on the assembly line doesn't make you an automotive engineer, but those workers are the tools for the engineers that build the car spec. Google gets cred because they've got probably the worldest biggest server deployment. That's no small feat, and they didn't just buy a bunch of dells and a few routers to do it.
Incorrect. Randomness is a lack of correlation. Increase in correlation decrease in entropy.
Say we have 10 people. 1 person has a one way flight and is scruffy looking. To add weight to him we can count him as 5 people, so while the other 9 have a 1/14 chance of getting chosen he has a 5/14 chance. While we are still doing it randomly, the overall effect is we have lost randomness, and now terrorists know not to book one way flights the day of, and not to look like terrorists.

Uh yeah, a higher resolution is *really* comparable to the change from B&W to color or to cable television. You're an asshat, HD is a minor improvement - there is nothing "wrong" with DVD's, like VCR's, they're just changing the amount of dots, which is good if you have a 50" TV. Not *necissary* however.
n-human-readable? Never used the registry editor? The key and value names seem to be in English... It's like saying that a filesystem isn't human-readable because you need ls.
Excuse me? Can you imagine having a filesystem as badly structured (and named) as the registry? Are you serious? What about the GUID's? They aren't so readable.
Yeah, being built of lots of open source components such as FreeBSD is very obscure. Even launchd, the replacement for cron and the like of bsd heritage is open sourced by apple. Obscure my ass.
You idiot, the music these kids are stealing isn't in the public domain, are you on crack?
And secondly, you think artists should spend their lifetimes making art and music, and not recieve any money? Should they go on welfare? They give me music, which is good, and I give them money, because they are selling me the product. Great deal.
Sometimes I go to compile something (on Mac OSX with gcc) and it will give me some silly errors. Later I'll go back and try it again for kicks and it works. It's happened many times, and I try to block any ration explanations because it gives me an excuse for when my own code doesn't compile (solar interference? could be)
Okay Einstein, then why did people make viruses for Mac prior to OS X, when there was even *less* marketshare?
Like another poster said, not all security models are built equal. Add up all the BSD, Linux and Mac marketshares, and there is still no exploits. The *nix crowd has a higher server marketshare than desktop, which makes them even more attractive for people to crack.
Don't get your hopes up. Nintendo has to approve you before you get a devkit, which means you have to have the financial ability to make a game, the talent and staff to do it and probably a good idea (unless your a proven developer) If you think that you could make the cut, check out their official site:
And this is nothing new by the way, its been the same for all their consoles. However they seem to be more interested in indie companies this generation. I quote, "Keep in mind that we typically look for companies that are established game developers."
1. Console devkits come with debug units. I.e. you code it on the PC and then test it on a development Wii + controller
2. Joe-blow cannot buy a Wii devkit. You have to be some sort of company with employees, meet their financial requirements, have an actual plan etc., i.e. Nintendo has to approve you (They started this with the NES, to stop really shitty games from coming out like on the Atari [I know shitty games still come out, but i mean like the really buggy programmed-by-a-10-year-old stuff that the Atari had at its demise])
Are you kidding? The idea of digg is nice, but the idea of communism and anarchy can be nice in theory too. Democracy doesn't work in mental institutions, fact.
Um. NO. Apple designed the Mac Pro. Intel built the cpu and some other chips probably. If Intel gets all of the recognition for "designing" the Mac Pro, what is Dell? Apple makes a lot of custom boards and junk (because they're always making crazy, nonstandard, and usually (but not with the Mac Pro) small enclosures) Dell, Hp and what not just throw pieces into a box (actually, I think Dell soemtimes makes their motherboards..)
Apple makes the moniter, the mouse, the keyboard, the case, the wireless antennas and junk on the inside plus that iPod you probably own. That doesn't make them a hardware company? Come on.
However, Apple also makes the operatiing system, the iLife apps, iWork apps, and the gajillion other awesome programs. I guess that makes them a software company.
They are both, hardware and software. They offer full solutions for computing needs, all in one bueatiful package and fully integrated with itself. Sort of like how Nintendo makes the systems not because they want to make hardware, but because they don't want to use other peoples hardware. (I think Mr. Miyamoto said something to this effect, but I'm too lazy to get a quote)

Of course it seems slower to you. It's a pretty quick job to read a history book, at least faster than waiting for more history to happen.
Throughout most of human history bittorrent did not exist.
It's only invisible from the sides, not when you are looking in the hole.

Has anyone noticed a large increase in the amount of trolls in the past month or is it just me?
I say anonymous posting should be canned.
Yep, funny stuff happens when you try to move things faster than the speed of light. Gotta start talking about [...] Einstien's theory of relativity
I wouldn't consider "it's impossible" funny stuff. You either get a divide by zero or a divide by an imaginary number.

Yeah, why doesn't Apple just release its kernel under the GPL like Microsoft? Oh wait.
They're being pretty damn generous even letting you see the source code. If you don't like the license, don't view the source, it's not necissary.

How about sharing your money with artists who are nice enough to share their music or other art?
You idiot, the music these kids are stealing isn't in the public domain, are you on crack?
