Dunno, but it does support Mach ports, which support transferring pages between processes without copying and would be a sensible way to implement this sort of thing.
However, moving all the back-end work of an existing app with plug-ins that require UI would be at least as big a change as switching to Cocoa. They could have done it for 10.4, but didn't. I doubt they'll do it now either.
I was referring to the preceding sentences, "if the US is a Police State, then what is Great Britain? Hell! What is Cuba, Nicaragua, or China?". Your second statement is a much simpler case of choosing a definition to match the conclusion you wish to reach.
Your argument appears to be "A is more foo than B, therefore A is not foo". I cannot think of a single situation in which this makes sense; if foo is absolute (which police-stateness isn't), the left hand side is meaningless. If foo is relative, the conclusion is manifestly bullshit.
For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is
the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath,
and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity. All go to one
place. All are from the dust, and to dust all return. Who knows whether the
spirit of man goes upward and the spirit of the beast goes down into the
earth? So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice
in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be
after him?
Because then it wouldn't sound like a Carlsberg advert?

Considering how hated America is by the whole of the world, don't you think its very important for America to remain the strongest nation, because lathough in the past it could have faded into insignificance and no one would have cared, it would just be another economy, but now there are people just waiting for America to fall.
...Which is why half of Africa banded together and conquered the United Kingdom in 1976.
As US power fades, interest in fighting it will fade as well. Except, that is, in places the US is actively trying to occupy at the time.
The point (regarding the Donald Duck Party) is that it is an unregistered party with no organization or membership. In the event that it was voted into parliament, and given that it is unregistered, there is no way of verifying the veracity of anyone's claim to represent the party's organization -but it is nevertheless possible for it to be elected.
I would argue that the right not to have the police install hidden cameras in my flat on the off chance that a friend might confess to considering committing a crime does impact my quality of life, and attempts to revoke this right constitute a real problem.
Not sure what you mean by that. In Sweden it works like this: To be counted as a real vote, you have to have a registered party, which in turn needs to have demonstrated at least a minimal demand for the party (collecting signatures). This party, until reaching 1% or more in an election has to pay for its own ballots, but only a few appointed printing companies are allowed to actually create them. Anything outside these rules are automatically considered invalid votes.
Wrong. Registration of a party is solely for protecting the party's official name. If the Donald Duck Party got sufficient write-in votes to be represented in parliament, in principle the first person to claim to represent it would be able to dish out the seats as he saw fit. Fortunately, at a little over 100 votes, this is unlikely to happen any time soon. (More info, in Swedish)
Er, no. In the 2004 US election, the Mickey Mouse vote constituted less than 1/2000th of the total vote. In fact, the FEC report seems to indicate a total of six votes, all in Rhode Island. For comparison, with the final count nearly complete, variations of "The Donald Duck Party" have recieved 103 votes in the Swedish election, or 0.0019%. A more useful comparision is that the Pirate Party (currently at 34,573 votes, or 0.63%) is ahead of the Swedish Senior Citizen Interest Party and the June List, both of which have been around longer and been percieved as serious candidates for parliament by the media, and is not far behind the Feminist Initiative (0.68%), which has the advantage of being led by a quite popular previous leader of a party with parliamentary representation, having recieved at least some funding and having attracted several celebrites.
I'll ignore the unfounded and trollish allegations, but as for the contributions question, the Pirate Party recieved very little external money. The ballots were largely paid for by the party leader, and that was the greatest expense of the campaign.

I'd just like to add that the Swedish Pirate Party (there are several others now) does not advocate the abolition of copyright, but limitation of its scope to only apply to for-profit copying, and limitation of the term to five years (which I personally consider a bit small for most types of works, but it's a tweak factor). In other words, the suggested reform would maintain the commercial monopoly on artistic works during the period when they are typically most profitable. It would also weaken the monopoly on derived works, in order to allow such things as collages and mechanime music videos, which are legitimate cultural productions (regardless of your estimation of their cultural value) which the current system actively suppresses.
Very insightful. In fact, there's hardly a point to having a political party that is advocating legal actions, unless those legal actions are under threat.
Exactly right - and this is what the Pirate Party is really about. Until last year, it was legal in Sweden to copy a CD for a friend; that right was removed as a result of corporate lobbying. At the moment, we have a constitutional right to private communication, regardless of medium (although it's commonly referred to as "letter secrecy"); the previous Swedish government was a driving force behind the EU's Data Retention Directive, which removes this right for e-mail and SMS communication. Unfortunately, the Swedish constitution is relatively easy to change and thus not a major obstacle, and the new government is likely to support the DRD. A number of recent laws have been passed and proposals made to allow such things as wire-tapping people who are acquainted with people who the police think might commit a crime (i.e., people and friends of people who are not actual suspects), the installation of cameras in their homes, and the installation of spyware on their computers with little or no oversight.
Naturally, this is motivated with the need to combat terrorism and child pornography. Equally unsurprisingly, none of the laws and proposals have actually limited the powers they grant to major crimes. It is the view of the Pirate Party that these Orwellian laws regarding government control of information and the laws being passed to allow corporations complete control of culture are so intertwined that they must be fought together. Our very right to privacy -ownlife, in newspeak - is under threat.
The way to reduce glare with polarisation is to use a circular polarising filter. I don't think polarised glasses would show these up. It also seems unlikely, since it reduces brightness by slightly over 50%.
