none. It is all the same program: ex is the "command line" version of vi (parts of ex mode are entered when you use : commands in vi) It is possible to switch from command to visual mode using :visual. view is read only mode of vi/ex, as if the file did not give you the write privilege...

Heh, SoundSticks subwoofer "plays" a role of futuristic hi-tech equipment on a chrome pedestal in Artificial Intelligence New York lab :) One can tell it is not iSub, because three cords are hanging off it (USB and two cables towards the Sticks--which are hidden, BTW). Power cord was not...

Simple clicking into an empty space in desktop will usually update it for me. It is annoying, as Finder windows actually update by themselves relatively quickly.

The magical architectural gimmick from "Oath of Fealty"? Copyrighted by Messrs. Niven and Pournelle, and purely fictional :)

Ten kilobucks (in addition to his five) in order to pay for this? Another mortgage?

because there are no system libraries which use C++ linkage; extern "C" at the beginning of every single header file in /System/Library/Frameworks is a dead giveaway. Why do you think gcc compiled system libraries were compatible with CodeWarrior C++ compiler? Because they use the same...

better programming is precisely what this world is not going to be getting. Let's face it, programming is the only human labor intensive industry left in the world (with the possible exception of clothing industry). Moreover, it requires extremely skilled (read: expensive) labor force, too...

Wired: non-pageable memory (usually kernel address space, but can belong to a process if such wiring down is requested by mlock, if mlock is really implemented) Active: valid mapping (points to an existing filesystem or swap object), referenced by an existing process; pageable Inactive...

the AltiVec compatibility could be included in kernel, by on the fly catching the illegal instruction fault, and emulating; this is unnecessary bloat, IMNSHO, and probably quite slow. Or you can install a SIGILL handler, and perform emulation yourself out of the handler, if it triggers; this is...

I think you should update to the developers tools of december/february 2001/2002. It would seem that shared library format has changed somewhat, and the linker (ld) available on your developer tools cannot understand it.

To charge for your phone calls (cell phones mostly, nowadays) Or, at least, to prepare the software to do that.

optimizing for a very non-common case better expressed as a switch construct. Don't hold your breath. Besides, you would lose the fallthrough feature of switch in any case. If you really want to know how does a compiler build a switch jumptable, examine the generated assembly. The best...

There was only one Public Beta CD AFAIK. Both of mine are from ADC mailings, so if you want one, please tell me. Mind you, I live overseas.

even though I am back to 9110i while the other one is being repaired.

Are you sure that hub is really 100Mbps? If so, does it do NWAY negotiation? 10Mbps half-duplex is standard setting against devices which do not NWAY negotiate correctly. I believe that it is now possible to nail down the speed of an interface in OS X 10.1.5 using media keyword to...

loopback interface is always there; Apache will run. However, the only access to the data will be possible from your physical machine, which makes this kind of operation relatively useless, unless of course you are a web designer and want to keep testing your pages. Or maybe I am completely...

switch/case is one way of building a jump table--it requires the targets to be compile-time constants (for obvious reasons of non-mutable code). Another way to build a jump table, more suited to string matches is the use of associative arrays indexed by strings (isn't this NSDictionary?)...

Because theft is illegal.

How much simpler can it get--it's just one mouse click; you'll have to wait for mind reading computers to do away with this one mouse click. Same way. Yes.

Ugh. High degree of self-mutilation. Serious pain.
