In Finland, just about every square is covered with GSM networks. GSM phones have text messaging, voice messaging and some newer phones have built-in digital cameras and multimedia messaging. The GSM network is quite fault-tolerant too and everyone carries around their phone everywhere. I understand you still live in a 80's world on the other side of the ocean, so your cellular technology maybe isn't very advanced. You have "pager networks"?;)
Here petrol was kind of low-quality bensiini. They still sold it ten years ago, but it went out of demand and has not been available for a while.
One difference between fluids is in the octane number, higher octane result in more lubrication of the pistons. American gasoline has very low octane numbers, just like the russion stuff too.
Diesel engines can use basically any kind of liquid oils without modifications, fossils or not. The original diesel engines were run on hemp oil!
The core is NOT based on FreeBSD. The userland is a port of the FreeBSD userland, yes. It would not be based on Linux, if the default userland were GNU-utils.
The core of Darwin/MacOS 10 is a Darwin (or NeXT Step) -based kernel/"core" running on Mach-nanokernel.. more alike GNU/HURD than FreeBSD (or Linux).
The new chip, called the IBM PowerPC 970, is derived from IBM's award-winning POWER4 server processor to provide high performance and additional function for users. As the first in a new family of high-end PowerPC processors, the chip is designed for initial speeds of up to 1.8 gigahertz, manipulating data in larger, 64-bit chunks and accelerating compute-intensive workloads like multimedia and graphics through specialized circuitry known as a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) unit.
"IBM's new PowerPC 970 64-bit chip is all about bringing high-end server processing power to the desktop, low-end server and pervasive space," said Michel Mayer, general manager, IBM Microelectronics Division. "IBM is committed to helping more customers put our expertise in advanced chip design and manufacturing technology to work for them."
The chip incorporates an innovative communications link, or "bus," specially developed to speed information between the processor and memory. Running at a speed of up to 900 megahertz, the bus can deliver information to the processor at up to 6.4 gigabytes per second, to help ensure that the high-performance processor is fed data at sufficient speeds.

Er.. my personal favourite is debian. It's gnu and all, but my point is that none of the current linux distros are something the Joe Average could grasp. And the add-on doohickeys are baad.. The vga text mode shell is also very lame, it should seriously be replaced with something graphical that fits on a floppy and includes all the basic/bin functions.
First release a tech-version with all-new features, then trim it down and re-relase it as a new product. The even/odd scheme with linux kernels work in a similar way, but that's only about bugfixes.. How about a first mainstream linux version without added-on bloat?
It's quite a while since I got bored of BBS:s and started using our local Freeport dialup to read usenet (1991 or so..) However, there were some BBS:s I used to something like 1995, Deaf Leopard and MITS and CofD. I cant remember what nickname (handle) I used back then..
What's so interesting in fitting a Apple motherboard into a PC case? At least it's not building a Mac G4 from scratch.
To do so, you'd have to find a generic "no-name" ppc74xx-compatible motherboard.. I think Motorola made some test boards for 8xxx series (with RapidIO) and the Amiga boom last year promised some new PPC motherboards too. Too bad none are shipping consumer products alike the x86 mobos.
Anyway, the "article" was quite misleading. A "Case Mod" != "Build a Macintosh From Scratch":(

It seems to have started when Dillon made a clever hack and people got arguing over API problems:

We in Finland call gas 'bensiini'.

Yeah, that was easy?
In MacOS or Windows, you just download the file and then double click on it.
Done.
Sorry, the Open Source project is called GNUStep.
AfterStep is just a window manager.
Yeah, except nowadays you go to jail for it.
What is it that makes darwin any different from the other FreeBSD kernals?
/usr/bin, /sbin, /ib....)
Everything except the userland stuff (/bin,

Well.. now you see what a pc with the same specs as the new iMac costs. That pc is however much uglier than the mac.
Duh, dissappointing.
I thought they were interviewing Don Martin from MAD.
Well.. where are the fuel cells? Did the oil monopolies win already?

I guess that would redefine the word anti-piracy too : )
I wonder how this will affect the future of computing :)
Well, it seems like marijuana is not as dangerous for average citizens as software piracy. = )

ahem.. i do sometimes run my 19" at 2048x1584, that's 220ppi? (Yes, it does flicker a bit at 63Hz, but fonts are still readable imho.)
The Lisa had a 5Mhz 68000
I'm 100% percent sure it was default-on in some version.
Maybe it was 95OSR3 and 98?

I see it this way:
the larger number of options, the more likely you spend your money on something you dont enjoy.
