One of the values defined in NSApplicationTerminateReply constants indicating whether the application should terminate. For compatibility reasons, a return value of NO is equivalent to NSTerminateCancel, and a return value of YES is equivalent to NSTerminateNow.Это при том, что вариант NSTerminateLater, как сказано, «Available in Mac OS X v10.0 and later». Интересно, обратная совместимость с чем, тогда, имеется в виду?.. Или под Mac OS Classic тоже писали на Объектном Си?

The strangest point of this ad is that Giampaolo didn’t get the portability, battery life, and power he was looking for, he just ended up with a cheap-appearing machine that obscured its real technical limitations under a flashy layer of misleading, specification-oriented marketing, the very thing he thought he was avoiding with HP: buying a brand rather than a computer. And that’s exactly what Microsoft wants people to do: buy its brand rather than a computer that does what they want it to do.

Adobe has notified Apple about this issue. We will continue to work with Apple on this subject until the issue is resolved.Well, now Apple knows Adobe’s UI programmers are morons, so what? This won’t get issue resolved.
During Apple’s Switchers campaign, Microsoft ran a print ad entitled «Confessions of a Mac to PC convert,» portraying a professionally dressed woman complaining about her Mac stating, «Yes, it’s true. I like the Microsoft Windows XP operating system enough to change my whole computing world around. [...] Windows XP gives me more choices and flexibility and better compatibility with the rest of the computing world.»
It turned out that Microsoft’s «convert» was a stock photography model from Getty Library, and her adspeak was written by a freelance writer Microsoft hired. When the sham convert was exposed by the BBC, Microsoft yanked the ad and killed the copycat campaign, but not before it generated more free publicity for Apple.
Я считаю, что бесплатное скачивание и музыки, и кино и чего бы то ни было из интернета не является ни пиратством, ни преступлением. Это новая норма жизни, к которой, к сожалению, нынешние законы об авторском праве не приспособлены. То есть, все законы об охране интеллектуальной собственности, которые до сих пор, к сожалению, действуют, они основаны на реалиях 19, в лучшем случае, 20 века. Когда никакого интернета и в помине не было, не было цифровой записи — никаких этих вещей, которые стали абсолютной нормой жизни сегодняшнего дня. Надо просто менять законы. Считать не миллионы даже, а пожалуй, уже даже миллиарды людей, проживающих на планете Земля, которые скачивают бесплатную музыку, преступниками, — просто абсурдно. Это тот случай, когда вся рота идет не в ногу, а только лоббисты из фирм грамзаписи и каких-то агентств по охране интеллектуальной собственности — они вот правы.Из последнего особого мнения с ним.
I was reading a blog entry where someone said, if you just disable the terminal on every Unix programmer’s desktop worldwide, you would immediately have massive increase in quality of the GUI, because the immediate thing they do is they drop to the command line, and, you know, I can just do this with grep and stuff, they don’t think about how would a person who doesn’t wanna go to the terminal do this, they don’t think that way. So, you end up with crappy GUIs and great command line apps.
Joel: ...what a big difference it is having a 2-second compile time vs a 20-second compile time and how much it improves sort of quality of your like bacause when you have 20-second compile time you either going to be incredibly bored, ’cause just try staring at your screen for 20 seconds, that’s a long time, or you’ll find something else to do in this little 20-second periods, and then you got reddit dragging you away from your job all day long.
Jeff: Like, I’m not even listening to you anymore, I’m actually browsing the web now, that’s how long.
Joel: That’s how long I just went.
Jeff: If you go to your user page and the reputation tab of your user page, there’s a graph of your reputation over time.
Joel: Oh, I never saw that.
Jeff: You’ve never seen this? We’ve had it for months and you’ve never seen this? That’s hilarious :-)

Joel: This is cool, you select a range of dates and it shows you why you earned reputation during that range.
Jeff: Yeah, welcome to October, Joel :-)
Joel: This feature is simultaneously awesome and completely and utterly useless :-)
