The TGV have had a grand total of zero fatalities on high speed lines in France since they opened in 1981, as a point of comparison.

The TI-89 is 68k based to this day.

The British only have SLBMs, which arguably are sufficient for both first and second strike capability. The French have both SLBMs and medium-range fighter-bomber launched missiles.

Until Mountain Lion it was "Mac OS X", which to many is still "Mac OS". Yes, it may have little lineage to Mac OS of yore, but that doesn't mean that wasn't its name.

Their workstation/server CPUs for use in multi-CPU applications go up to 16 cores (actually two eight core chips on a multi-chip module (MCM)), whereas Intel go up to eight.

The switching penalty is real, but isn't *massive*. The bigger issue is with four cores against eight you'd need double the single-thread performance to be equal, even ignoring the switching penalty: certainly, the Intel chips are far quicker at single-threaded operations (this is, after all, Bulldozer's weak point), but they aren't double.

If you can keep all eight cores busy, Bulldozer is massively better in terms of performance/price compared with anything from Intel.

That's not really relevant, to be honest: it's still at least double the power consumption compared with Cortex-A15 SoCs (and you can be sure as hell the Intel figure is processor only, not memory, chipset, interfaces, etc.), and they idle at an order magnitude less, which is important for mobile devices.

No, it provides an opt-out standard. An opt-in standard would be sending a "Track-Me: Yes" header.

They can't run arbitrary code --- they can only run code bundled with the application. If they can run code not bundled with the application, they are in violation of the rules.

No, you can have your own HTML parser and CSS layout engine. What you're not allowed is anything that will execute any code not provided by the application (which therefore includes any JS engine taking content from the web), except for WebView.

XNU is not a microkernel, and never has been. Yes, it's ultimately derived from Mach, but it contains large parts of BSD-derived code in the kernel too (originally from BSD4.3, now FreeBSD). Everything within the kernel is done by direct function calls, not message passing as with a microkernel.

The original investigation, as I understand it, was about the fact that he had sex with her in her sleep (this is in almost all countries rape, as someone asleep is not able to consent), and explicitly told him to stop when she awoke, which he did not do. That story has been entirely consistent from the time it happened.

Well, yes. GCC being outdated when it's all but abandoned and Clang is the default compiler isn't massively surprising. If you care enough, you can always build an up-to-date GCC version.

I can't find data for the whole EU, but http://www.justice.ie/en/JELR/EAWreport%202010.pdf/Files/EAWreport%202010.pdf covers EAWs received in 2010 by Ireland. Appendix 3 gives classification by the principle offence, showing 22 out of 373 being sexual offences (the most common is robbery/assault/theft with 138).
