awk can replace any command in this poll except telnet...

I use NTFS - and I use Mac and Linux 99% of the time.

ntfs-3g comes bundled with ubuntu, and ntfs-3g installer for mac nowadays comes with macFUSE and works fine.

My only gripes with mac+ntfs is that either macbooks USB ports are slow crap OR mac version of ntfs-3g is much slower than its linux equivalent.

Go to "extra" keyboard and hit reset. Voila, BASIC.
And it sucks. And it's from Microsoft. OMG C64 was evil ;-( :-)

Microsoft's greatest blunder in their early years was to license BASIC to Tramiel's Commodore with a once-ever fee of, some say, as little as $50000. C= then sold tens of millions of machines without paying any more to M$.

Well, M$ learned. C= died.

Read Beggars in Spain.
What if, suddenly there were ppl with practically 33% more lifespan? More time every day to train sports, science, whatever - even work? No chance one of them attending chess games, olympic games or similar.

It would lead to them being outcasts as long as they were in minority.

As long as they keep Zapp Brannigan, Zoidberg, and Fry. They're perfect. Except Fry, who sucks. But excels at it. And the professor. And the hypnotoad. All bow to the mighty hypnotoad.

They could replace ... the kids, the rasta dude, the japanese chick, etc.

They could find an even sexier Leelaaaah... Leeluuuhh... Lee-Laaa.

The "find my iphone" feature requires a MobileMe account. MobileMe is an expensive set of web based services that can easily be substituted with Flickr and Google's stuff. So, 79â a year for tracking my phone i n case I lose it? No thanks.

This is old news in Finland. We have had at least 4 convictions on dubious basis within one year. "Insulting" muslims and negroes seems to be verboten while insulting christians and white males is ok. 1984.

First: OS X absolutely sucks compared to Linux when I do any metrics about USB speed or NTFS speed or anything like that. It sucks.

On console, it has stupid basic mistakes like 'cal'-program missing the 'ncal' symlink. I've heard that on programmer level it's very unstandard (no specifics here, sorry, but for example the author of 'UADE' said so and I have high respect for his skills).

The GUI is plain, but works. Compiz-tuned gnome or recent KDE beats it in looks and effects but it works. The file requester is the second best I've encountered, the best being the ReqTools requester for AmigaOS 15years ago.

Spotlight is excellent and fast. The bundled apps _work_ and are a delight to use, except the Mail app which is pure unpropelled shit. I still use the Mail app because most other apps expect me to use it and "mail to"-function won't work. Plus Thunderbird 3 still won't use the system address book which is already synced to my iPhone etc.

I use Linux at work (both as desktop and for about half the servers), have a Winshit gaming puter (XP) at home, and use a macbook for all the "fun" stuff. Videos, photos, music, syncing with my phone, car player... Apple has the desktop thing done right. It all costs tons of euros and is not FREE but I don't care, I get premium product for the price.

Even the most adamant IE users here are starting to switch to firefox because it's too much of a pain in the ass to use IE. FIrst they changed things in IE7 - and now again in IE8 - and the browser complains with stupid dialogs all the time asking this or that. Many sites just don't work in IE8 with default settings ...

You couldn't use a walkman for C64 datassette. It had custom tape drives with custom connectors.
You _could_ use one with a Sinclair ZX48, for example.

Because it's NATURAL to have CTRL there. Jesus used CTRL that was left from A.
It hurts to hunt CTRL from the fucking corner. Better have both. Capslock is useless, either kill the fucker or hide it behinf FN-this or that.
I have capslock mapped as CTRL on my ubuntu boxes and on my mac - matter of clicketi-click via preferences.

Hitler's decision to make me-262 primarily a blitzbomber took place much before 1945.
Also, it did not affect the program much - problems with the engines and lack of fuel did that.

One V2 rocket had a ~1 ton warhead. Over 5200 were built.
One B17 carried 900kg of ordnance, hardly "more than the entire V-2 production."

Everything in these kind of tests usually makes MS and Intel compilers stand out vs gcc. On the desktop, the Wintel platform is shit slow all the time. I care for the latter. no 27 different systray update services for different crapware, the crapware, antivirus, etc running - just the apps and system services I have actually opted for,

BulletFlight has been on apple store for months.

But I recommend 'Ballistics', it's more versatile and the Field Edition has BulletFlight-style simple HUD mode.

PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all. FRY: Oh. What's it called now? PROFESSOR FARNSWORTH: Urectum.
