But if you just wanted a package manager and repos, you could always use Fink (for those who don't know, it's basically apt-get for OS X and a bunch of repos of binaries), no need to bootstrap with dev tools from Apple.

Actually you could probably get a version of gcc from Fink and then use that to bootstrap Mac Ports. Not tried that myself, though.

Yup, GP fails badly at understanding basic Semitic roots.

Take the root K-T-B (book, written, to write, etc):

KITAB - book
AKTIB - to write

but

MAKTAB - office (literally "place of writing")
MAKTABAH - primary school (place of writing, feminine form)

So saying that islam and salaam derive from S-L-M is pretty damn vague and useless information without context.

>Perhaps it does, but whenever I read something about the NHS, its a sad story in the Daily Mail about some doctor making a silly mistake that takes a way a father or mother from their children, or vice versa..

The DAILY MAIL. You get your news from the Daily Mail. OK, then.

Actually 8x4 TB disks will do it, with the overhead etc, giving you 24.96 TB usable space.

An 8 drive DroboPro with 3 TB disks might just about do it.

I don't know what the hell kind of compiler you're using to generate these crufty executables, but GCC produces the exact same binaries for source with comments vs source code without.

Or am I missing a joke here?
