As has already been mentioned above multiple times, Apple had Applescript (as one example) in their browsers by then already (as of 1993, a year earlier). While there may not have been many apps using it the way his was, that doesn't mean he was the first - why would Applescript have been developed and included in System7, if someone had not imagined its use? And someone somewhere on the planet was using AppleScript by the end of 1993 - even if it was just the people who, I dunno, developed the Applescript language in the first place.

the gas to take it there (and get back) was probably $2 anyway...

it might be parts of austin, but it's the conservative parts (why doing massive power shifts means "conservative" nowadays, I still don't know...). He'll be re-elected - the fact that he's unopposed in the primary is because he's such a sure bet. Sorry. (used to live in that district. Far from it now)

Why the fuck do I need to go online when I already have friends+family in the same room ?? Because this is the year 2012? I mean, I played HoMM1 back in the mid 90s myself, but...this isn't the mid-90s anymore, Toto.

2016 isn't 30 years from now. 30 years ago, people did put financial information on a computer, if the computer was capable of storing it securely. 30 years from now a bank can bite me if they think they can require my authentication information for external websites; the world uses facebook and google as identity services now, there's no way I'm giving someone other than me that little tiny string of characters that allows them to prove they're me. Pretty sure such a requirement is already illegal in most western countries, and would be legal in any remaining countries *long* before 30 years from now.

Yes. That's actually a sortof dumb question. If Lockheed Martin subcontracts a part, it's ok if it comes from a known terrorist group because LM is bigger? Think about what you're saying. Yes, code repository auditing is important. Yes, QA is important. I don't care if your employer is bigger than RedHat, it doesn't matter a hill of beans.

that's the point though - there are intentional mechanisms built into the DNA pathways that deliberately cause genetic mutations during stress events. That's not "natural selection." "Natural selection" only describes some things, and only on a meta level. When you get specific about a time period and a species, it stops being the meaningful agent for change; it plays a secondary, less interesting role. To think adaptation is only due to natural selection is to do great injustice to the amazing nature of DNA.

"The only thing it lacks is support, which the CIO doesn't want"
There's more than that it lacks, even for the basic customer. Something more important (to me, at least) that it lacks - RHN. RHN is great. Yeah yeah, one can set up a spacewalk server and update locally. I know. But...why?
Another thing CentOS lacks which is extremely important in the industrys I tend to work in: certifications. Has CentOS been EAL certified at any level? No. Will the DoD let you use RedHat over CentOS? No. Will a PCI auditor be a fan of your use of CentOS for your externally-facing website that processes credit cards? No. Does CentOS have enterprise-level QA processes for each and every thing that they are (because they are...) modifying? No. Would the FDA be happy with an OS vendor with no QA process? No. What's the indemnification that CentOS will give you in suits against Microsoft?
It's not as though the options are "CentOS" versus "Redhat with full support" after all. There's the self-support option, which just gets you access to allllllll the other things. And you can even be "that place" that has 500 servers but only bothers getting 50 seats...eh, whichever, won't really matter except for the indemnification part.
I mean, what industry are you in that the question is even worth pondering? If you handle money, sensitive material, or PHI you'll spend WAY more than that tiny self-support price in the bribes and obfuscation necessary to get ok'd with CentOS. I mean hell, Fedora has a more extensive QA process than CentOS. Maybe you should just tell your boss you agree with him so much you think you should use Fedora!

the reason this is interesting (or, moreso than what we've long observed...) is that it's an animal, as others have pointed out. Mere selection isn't enough; that implies there was already, without the toxis sludge, fish swimming around who had the natural resistence to it. The reality is that our DNA is more complicated than that, and it instead seems designed (err...apologies, truly the best word for it) to respond to stress by not just having some sort of random mutation and hoping for the best...but instead to have mutations that benefit them. This happens far more often than the random mutations that would have just happened to been better suited to the changing environment. Meaning - something other than Darwin. Yes, natural selection has a big impact. But sometimes - especially in short periods of time - darwinian evolution is not at all sufficient to maintain a system, or explain the changes that take place.

did you RTFA, at all? I mean really, it was quite short. Maybe it would help shed light on some of these things for you.
According to legendary Apple programmer Andy Hertzfeld, Jobs even in the early 80â(TM)s was keen on discarding license plates and parking in Handicap spots.
I could be wrong, but I don't think he was dying of cancer 30 years ago.
