Many OS X applications are document based (one application handles several documents e.g. a web browser, photo editor, text editor/word processor, , etc.) The x at the top of the window closes the window (the document). It wouldn't make sense to quit an entire program when you only want to close a document. Minimize keeps a document in the dock, out of the desktop space, but still open. Closing a document closes it, and saves it if you so choose. For a lot of non document based applications, x is not all that different from hide or minimize. It irritates me when applications do close when the x in the window is clicked.
I have my dock on the left (less space than the bottom), and it has 22 easily identifiable applications. Most users don't use more than 5-10 applications regularly. You can try using spotlight (command-spacebar) and typing the first few letters of an application name. Or you can download Quicksilver , use ^spacebar, and type the few letters. It will gradually learn which applications you use more with certain letters and it is nicer than spotlight as an application launcher. If you want a list, put your applications folder in your Dock, and right click it (you can also use control click or click and hold). A list of all of your applications will pop up. Launching applications from the Finder isn't all that hard, though. Click the Finder dock icon once, click the Application folder in the sidebar, and launch the application(s).
What do virtual desktops gain you? They aren't visible at the same time, so why not just change windows within the same desktop?
There are several OS X virtual desktop applications, and I'd assume the same is true of Windows.
I think the weapons we already have are about as bad as possible. Does it really matter whether one is killed by a nuclear missile or a nanovirus? It may be easier to use nanoviruses though, and harder to stop.
4%? That seems really high.
First of all Linux is 2.8% of the desktop market (wikipedia).
Now, you have to subtract the people who aren't "I only run open source software" fanatics. Let's say half. So 1.4%.
Now, 20% seems rather high, as Opera isn't all that great. 10%.
So,.1% of the market will be gained, and much of the market they make the most profit in, the mobile market, will be lost.
Great idea.
He was able to discover these because he is an agent of the extraterrestrials that put them there, these aliens are known as the FOEAWSCM (Federation of evil aliens who secretly control mankind). These are signs of alien bombardment on our planet. Long ago, they began to enslave mankind, but resistance groups fought them. So the FOEAWSCM blew them up. Now, we are all secretly controlled by the FOEAWSCM which is involved in a conspiracy with the government, Microsoft, and Dunkin' Donuts. Google is also involved. The FOEAWSCM wants people to come to rely on Google Earth, which only shows what the aliens want them to see.
Racism is wrong, and it would be very bad for the government to support it in any way, but this is an inhibition of free speech. Now, stopping someone from expressing racist thoughts may not be all that bad in and of itself, but neither is unwarranted wiretaps of terrorists. If the government can prevent "hate" speech, it can prevent anything being said that is contrary to its values.
1) You don't have to shut down and swap in the second battery.
My computer, a MacBook Pro, can sleep with the battery taken out, and I was under the impression a lot of laptops could now. I know the Powerbooks could.
2) It can be recharged in seconds by just topping it off.
That's assuming there is a nearby laptop fueling station, or you carry a lot of laptop fuel around. AC outlets are neary everywhere.
And second of all, why do you think President Bush is stupid? Is this simply to complete a rant or do you have any honest thoughts? I can definitely see people disagreeing with his policies, but what evidence is there that he is not intelligent?
Other than the screen, which I think the iPod Shuffle should have, the features you described are not useful if you are just getting a digital audio player to listen to music. And the computer/player integration and the interface aren't as nice.
FreeBSD: [freebsd.org] OS X without the flashy graphics and the DRM. Try it. You might love it
It is also missing the nice interface, and commercial applications. And then there are all the really nice OS X applications which make use of the interface. And there is no DRM in OS X except that used on the ITMS music and possibly that used to make it only run on Macs. But, it is open source and free, which is nice for some applications.
No, the right to select who governs is not granted by the government. The government grant a democratic vote for who is the next leader, but no government continues without the support of the majority of the power of the populace.
The right to claim compensation for harm done is not granted by the government. It is limited and organized by the government, though.
A representative democracy only applies to controlling the government. Whether or not the government, which is you in a democracy, can control individual citizens and businesses is different. Democracy refers to who is in charge, not what they can do.
And no form of government gives people rights. They are intrinsic, government can only inhibit or ensure them.

Only some single window applications quit when a window is closed, and I find it rather irritating when they do.

I've never noticed the difference in text.

It's no coincidence that the company that makes Roomba's is called iRobot.
The same is true of the U.S.
This is distinguished by being faster.
Look over there, a cow! Therefore your statement is wrong.
Because we all know the most popular browsers are open source.

This is further proof that Republicans are intolerant. They obviously think that people shouldn't be allowed to vote, just because they are dead.
First of all, how do you know this?
And second of all, why do you think President Bush is stupid? Is this simply to complete a rant or do you have any honest thoughts? I can definitely see people disagreeing with his policies, but what evidence is there that he is not intelligent?
Both of these are sincere questions.
Election campaigns are funded by campaign contributors who choose to contribute.
Voting machines are paid for by money that is forcefully taken from people, called taxes.
So, yes, people are concerned more about the latter than the former.
More people would feel comfortable with the process if it were more transparent.
You mean the small percentage of the population that knows what source code is?
Most Mac users don't use their computers as servers, or have ssh on, so this doesn't reflect OS X security very well.
Other than the screen, which I think the iPod Shuffle should have, the features you described are not useful if you are just getting a digital audio player to listen to music. And the computer/player integration and the interface aren't as nice.

Both of those companies have the right to do that. It would lose sales for them, though.
