IronPython runs on the
The Mono package for MacOS X comes with IronPython. I haven't really tested it, but it does at least start. I don't see why it wouldn't work essentially the same as on Windows, except maybe with GUI stuff, if there's some Windows.Forms classes that Mono hasn't implemented yet.
Can't be, he made a negative comment about Obama. I don't know of any Apple freaks that speak ill of Obama.
Rush Limbaugh has been a long time Apple user and he pretty much does nothing but badmouth Obama and the Democrats.
Typical subcompacts are around 8l/100km.
For a while VW was selling a subcompact - Lupo TDI - that did 3L/100km. (Or ~78MPG in American terms.)
42MPG = 5.6L/100km
50MPG = 4.7L/100km
Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Cincinnati are core cities in Ohio on the Chicago Hub line, not just Cleveland. Five dots in Ohio. People never seem to realize that Ohio is actually a pretty highly populated state with six metro areas greater than 650K people. This rail plan is going to be great for my home (but not current) state.
Technically Darwin includes the kernel, which Apple closed down when they started releasing an x86 edition, in the name of preventing people from running OSX on non-Apple computers. This of course failed.
Really? Because when I go to the Apple OpenSource page, the XNU kernel is there and under the APSL, which is an OSI approved license.
I think there was a kind of long delay after they released the first x86 Macs before they released the source, but it's there.
Everything on my Ubuntu installation is 64 bit. Every single application. Since I'm using Chromium, I guess that I have V8 in 64 bit. Just add the Chromium repository to Apt, then apt-get the source. You don't even have to know how to compile. (I do know how to, sort of, but I'm certainly not proficient - just let your installer do the work!)
I suspect it's using ia32-libs and not actually 64 bit. I have two reasons for suspecting this.
1) Chrome does not support 64 bit builds
2) The Ubuntu Chrome Daily PPA page says "no native 64bit debs planed for now. The amd64 package is using ia32-libs."
It's roughly competitive with Python 3
Python 3 is much slower than 2.x. Hopefully they'll get it back on track in a point release.

Python 2.x still mostly beats Ruby 1.9

The very thought of Mac OS being a server makes me ill. X is based on BSD, why not just use BSD?
Because they have some nice tools for server management (gui (Workgroup Manager) and commandline (e.g. dscl)) that don't exist in vanilla BSD?
I'm just running it for a lab with less than 10 computers and less than 30 users, but for someone like me who is only a part-time administrator with other duties to my job, the Mac OS X Server tools are great.
Where is that Flash plugin for my PPC system?
Um, here?
Debian package search tells me that the Gnash Flash plugin for Mozilla is available for alpha, amd64, arm, armel, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, and sparc, at least for Debian users. So it at least compiles and does something on all those platforms.
It's not the official Adobe plugin, but they claim it supports at least Flash 7 and can handle YouTube.
It actually just supports sshfs and ftpfs at the moment, but people could write plugins for it to support other FUSE plugins.
They aren't providing a GUI for sshfs on macfuse anymore
I was disappointed about that too until I discovered MacFusion, which is like the sshfs GUI app, but does any FS that MacFUSE supports.
