If Del Taco agrees to carry only Coke products then Coke gives them the product at a discounted price. I think this practice is common. With fast food it often goes deeper than that though. For exapmple: The same parent company owns Pepsi, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and KFC. Unsurpisingly, the latter three sell softdrinks made by the first.
Be? That'd be interesting, since Be sued Microsoft. But it could work anyway... which brings the question: now that Be is dead, who owns the much praised technologies of BeOS? Palm bought all of Be's IP. But Apple got many of the Be developers including Dominic Gianpaolo (I might be spelling it slightly wrong. I don't have his book handy.) who designed BeFS and now does filesystem stuff for Apple.

According to the Unix page of the Tiger preview, yes:
HFS and Command-Line Support Tiger provides a standard, Darwin-level API for managing resource forks, filesystem metadata, security information, properties and other attributes in a consistent, cross-platform manner. For example, common UNIX utilities such as cp, tar and rsync can properly handle HFS+ resource forks.
If you ask the Welsh if they are British, they'll tell you they are and the English aren't. The Brythons were a celtic tribe in Wales. (They call their country Cymru. Wales comes from an old germanic word meaning "foreigner".) They call the English "Saxons" still.
Turned out to be buried in "C:\Documents and Settings\xxx\Application Data\Phoenix\Profiles\default\9gltk3bn.slt\Calenda r\". Why is it so hard to tell these programs to put their data files into "E:\Cal", "D:\Mail", or such?) Because MS is trying to make Windows a multiuser OS, so each user has a profile with app specific configuration in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data And the rest is all Mozilla. The 9gltk3bn.slt business is them trying to make hard for the path to be guessed by attackers, as I understand it.
The chart in the article has Obj-C listed.. believe it had it listed around 1983 which shocked me. First time I ever heard of it was 2 years ago when I started looking into OS X programming.
Brad Cox came up with Objective-C in 1983. Steve Jobs founded NeXT in 1985, and NeXTSTEP was written in ObjC. NeXTSTEP evolved into OpenStep and then into the Cocoa API at Apple and GNUStep API. The GNUStep folks are now trying to keep theirs up to date with Apple's changes. But the GNUStep project has been around for quite a few years. (i.e. before Jobs went back to Apple, I believe.)
Having lived in Columbus,OH my whole life (26 years) I can back up the other statements that the state is not "staunch Democrat". Look at CNN's election map for Ohio. See the blue? That's where there is either a fair sized city or a big college town (Athens county). The red is for the most part rural with the exceptions of Dayton and Cinncinati, which are both just slightly red. But those red areas add up, and I don't think from what I remember of past elections and growing up that the map is at all unusual for Ohio. If anything is weird at all it's that Bush only won by a narrow margin. Believe me, I hoped Franklin, Cuyahoga, Hamilton, and Clark would go Dem and outweigh the rural parts.
Apple gave Xerox a large amount of stock in exchange for those tours of PARC and many of the early Apple employees came from Xerox.
As for MS, there was a MS employee on the Office team (when it was a Mac only product) who called and asked in depth implementation questions about the Mac GUI that were irrelevant to developing Office. After stealing many of the ideas, they used the wording of a contract with Apple to make a claim (which held up in court) that they had licensed the "look and feel".
To Europeans, 5/11/04 is November 5th 2004. It's like a little-endian date. DD/MM/YY. The Japanese like big-endian dates YY/MM/DD, so today would be 04/11/05. If anything, the American way of doing dates is weird.
Q: So how come they didn't do "Plan 9 From Outer Space," which is touted the worst movie ever made? A: BBI said that they did not want to do this movie for several reasons. First, the voice-over from Criswell would interfere with the commenting that Joel/Mike and the 'bots would make. Second, making fun of this movie is just too easy. Everybody has done it. The Brains would prefer fresh territory. Third, it's kind if redundant: The movie really makes fun of itself. Also, while "Plan 9" is certainly awful, MSTies know better than to think it is the worst movie ever made. MST3K has unearthed several cinematic train wrecks that make it look like "Citizen Kane."
So, I really doubt they'd do any Ed Wood movie, even if the show was still on.
I think the RedHat stuff on the QUBE and RAQ are byproducts of buying Cobalt.
I got the impression from reviews and screenshots (assuming my brain didn't just invent seeing the UL logo, which it could have) that it was UL based, but effectively UL == SuSE 8.2 anyway. Of course, Sun added that lovely purple and yellow colorscheme they're so fond of.
- Does Sun resell Linux or not? Today, is it RedHat or Suse?
Everyday it is Sun Java Desktop, which is based on UnitedLinux, which is basically Suse 8.2
But yeah, Java is all over everything for no reason. My fiance's father gave me his old Ultra 5 and the box has a great big Java logo on it, and for the life of my I can't figure out what Java has to do with anything. And I don't understand their love of weird jumping version numbers. They do it with Solaris too. Solaris 9 is actually SunOS 5.9, but I think that a few versions back they jumped from 2.x to 5.x when they went from a Berkeley style Unix to a SysV style Unix.
Don't forget that our original post-war policies in Japan *didn't* work. When we started to realize the communist threat in Asia in the 50s US policy in Japan underwent what was called "the reverse course" to create a viable strong ally in the east, and this helped cause their economic prosperity later on. Mind you, there were also terrible riots when the original US occupancy was supposed to end and the Diet voted to retain the US as a peacekeeping force under a new treaty.
It must just be where you live. The majority of houses on my street and a lot of the nearby streets have John Kerry signs in the window or on they lawn. (Mine included.) But where I live is on the North Campus/Clintonville border in Columbus, OH which is a pretty liberal part of the city. If you go down to the parts of OSU campus where the frat boys and wannabe frat boys live there are probably 2 Bush signs or more for every Kerry sign. Kerry doesn't have the best delivery on his speeches (read: is totally monotone and wordy), but I know plenty of people who think that the content is good and support him both on the not-Bush part and what he has to say.
And don't be afraid of ordering from amazon UK if you live in the US. The shipping price and the time it takes to get to you isn't much worse than if you had ordered them from amazon US. Actually, I've ordered from amazon US, UK, DE, and JP, and for some reason the only one with outrageous shipping cost and time is the German one. Quite odd.
many of the older rules (the rule against double negatives, for example) are based on mathematical concepts.
Let me put my linguist hat on for a second and say that the double negative rule,the no prepostions at the end of a sentence rule, and the no split infinitives rule (amongst others) are enlightenment era inventions that fly in the face of (at this point) about 800 years of use. I wish I had my Cambridge Encyclopedia of Linguistics with me right now so I could give you examples of famous authors through the ages that violate all of those silly made up rules and quotes from many 19th and 20th century authors about how fatuous those rules are.
Language is not math. You can use language in a precise way to discus math, but most people most of the time aren't doing that. Multiple negatives in a negated sentence used to be fairly normal in english and still is required in many languages.
phrases that use a plural pronoun to refer to a singular antecedent are unnecessarily confusing for non-native speakers
I haven't looked at the parent to your post, but if you are saying that "they" can't be used as a gender neutral pronoun refering to a singular antecendent (where the gender has not been specified), then you're wrong there too. It has a long history of usage as well.
Language is defined by usage, not by prescriptivist books. They can try to control how people express themselves, but in the end the change will happen if that's how people use the language.
Any NT based Windows already has the ability to get the time using NTP without resorting to 3rd party apps, some of which are spyware. All you have to do is set a timeserver at the command prompt (I'm out of state, so I don't have my little sheet with how to do it. Sorry.) Then you start the network time service. I think XP even lets you do it in the date and time control panel.
When we come to a 4-way stop, Americans across the country expects to get their turn regardless of race or sex. My two cents, anyway.
Wow! Where does this happen? At almost every 4-way stop I've ever been, everyone stops and then randomly someone guns it. Process is repeated until all cars are gone. I would be thrilled if people could operate one in the proper round-robin fashion.

In Middle English, the verb was "axe", then it became "ask". Now in some dialects it's swinging back.
