Hello All-
I'm sure for the most part, people on this list aren't much into the
"popular press", but it seems there was a post on MacCentral this
morning that may be of interest to folks on this list.

Example Statement: "Thanks to pirates, or rather the fear of them,
the Intel edition of Apple’s OS X is now a proprietary operating
system. Mac developers and power users no longer have the freedom to
alter, rebuild, and replace the OS X kernel from source code.
Stripped of openness, it no longer possesses the quality that
elevated Linux to its status as the second most popular commercial OS."
Perhaps people here may want to comment. Admittedly, I'm a lurker
more then a kernel hacker, but I thought this was addressed weeks/
months ago with the recent release of the source of the kernel for
Intel.
-Lance

"Safety is not the most important thing. I know this sounds like heresy,
but it is a truth that must be embraced in order to do exploration.
The most important thing is to actually go."
~ James Cameron concerning Human Space Exploration
