Not many... yet! The problem is, as antibiotics proliferate & are used without discretion (e.g, administered 'sub-therapeutically' to food animals in their feed), antibiotic-resistant strains of microbes become more common.
One of the major risks of going to hospital these days is in picking up a secondary infection. The last thing you need after surgery is a dose of resistant staph and - yes - this does happen. Unfortunately, it's becoming more and more common....
No, I haven't. I'm a habitual vi user & it's my editor of choice when in the terminal app. I'm guessing gvim is Gnu VI iMproved, right?
For many folks, not having AppleScript would be a biggie. Sure, vi can run in batch mode, but it's not as intuitive as AppleScript. Imagine the average Mac user using a text editor to edit a text editor's batch script - oh, the horror!:-)
Furthermore, it 'feels' a lot like the editor which comes with the Metrowerks CodeWarrior IDE, which many MacOS developers will be familiar with. It also integrates well with cvs (you can do checkins and checkouts from within BBEdit) and you can do CodeWarrior compiles without leaving the editor. Not to mention HTML markup support as well as compliance checking and syntax colouring for just about any language, blah... plugin support... blah... applescripting... you get the picture!
Actually, I knew a guy who worked there in the '90s (ex-Aber. friend of Alan Cox). They used to have a website here but it seems offline right now. It's now called the DERA, by the way...

However, under the 1997 Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, individuals are now entitled to seek discovery of records relating to cabinet decisions that are over 5 years old
So now you know why Bertie and his pals want to scrap the FOI act. So far, it's been used to dig up a lot of dirt on the cabinet & FF in particular. Unfortunately, it's also used by relatives of people who were incarcerated by the state in religious-run orphanages to obtain information on their families. Not any longer if the government gets their way....:-(
You should only get DEFAULT-CATCHes if you're messing around in forth. It's the OF equivalent of the segfault & the average punter will never get them.
I've no complaints about the old OF either - hey, it's been around since the first of the PowerPCs. What's nice about the later OFs is that Apple has included lots of nice Package resources for Forth programmers. Want to read files off the HD? No problem. Ethernet driver? Yup! And so on. Oh, and you can also use OF 'headless' - control your system without a monitor across a serial link or Ethernet. Way cool....
That sounds weird to me. Testing a HD - *any* HD - would require testing of the basic electronics, the cache, the head extent, the interface, etc. Furthermore, as media is not 100% perfect in volume production, a complete read-write-read surface scan would be required to ensure the the drive's internal list of bad sectors is updated (the g-list). All drives will need to go through this, be they ATA or SCSI.
So how can testing of ATA drives be cheaper than SCSI? And how can SCSI drives be that magnitude more expensive than ATA on the strength of that alone?
So, when I check with perl.com, I see that the latest, stable release is 5.8.0. It's not *that* far removed, so why imply that MacOS X is 'finally' getting a current release of perl?
Who cares? 17 years is prehistory in computing terms. How many geeks thought Apple would have ever switched to BSD back then & that unix would eventually be touted as an OS for the masses? (at my age, being called 'child' - even by a poxy, anonymous troll such as yourself - is considered complimentary. Ta!)
What a bunch of whiners! Lookit - I worked at Apple during the Spindler years & on into the Gil 'wimp bullshit' Amelio period. Jobs was the best thing that ever happened to Apple. He turned the company around where nobody else could. Let him have the damn jet - he earned it. Shareholders can't complain either for, without grouchy, megalomaniac Steve, Apple would now be very dead.
Steve had originally agreed, AFAIK, to work for $1 a year (+ benefits that all other employees get) until Apple got turned around. It's turned, so stop whining already.
You can export from KeyNote as either Quicktime, Powerpoint or PDF. Theoretically, you can import a.ppt file and export it back out again (kinda like those English->German->English babelfish pranks). Re-read into Powerpoint & see what went weird in the translation. That way, you'll have an idea what to expect.
If you don't have Keynote, send me one of your small powerpoint files & I'll send you back a Keynoted.ppt one just for fun....
Not that I'm aware of. However, there's nothing to stop you importing an existing.ppt file into Keynote & barfing it back out as the now-published xml file. Instant Powerpoint standardiser...:-)
Not good. Reading the drijf.net article reveals that iTools backs up in the clear across the 'net. Furthermore, authentication can be spoofed as backup doesn't check the authentication of the server cert. Scary...

Don't think so??

Har, har! Explain why we're all still waiting for flat-rate ADSL access, so?? The Eircom shares ripoff, etc, etc

Nope, unfortunately. File system drivers for MacOS X would have to be written as a kext and would be IOKit-based. Totally un-BSD ...
My first point of call would be the Darwin-Drivers mailing list and archives.

Sure, but never is a long time. 1986 is almost twenty years ago - a lot has happened since then.
Besides, I didn't know that 'image' and 'geek' were mutually exclusive - just look at how companies like alienware are doing ...
Uncheck the 'clicking' checkbox and/or the 'dragging' one.
Job done! That was easy, eh?

Stupid slashcode didn't like wrapping HTML with tags ... :-/
The network consists of 48 fibres (24 pairs, each pair capable of delivering 2.5GB.) wrapped around the ESB's high voltage network.
Just as well, seeing as we're still waiting for ADSL
Cool - you got '+5' for an april fool's joke ... :-)
Thanks for the links, BTW!
