Apple pretty much tossed out the mishmash that Rhapsody was developing into in favor of building OSX from nearly the ground up (with help from the code from NeXT, which came with Steve Jobs attached.) about ten years ago now.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So how much of OS X is BSD and how much was created by Apple?

Hey. New board.
Mmm. Depends on how you define "how much."
If I had to guess, um, 35% BSD or so? But most of that was updated or tweaked. And the GUI stuff and, most importantly, coding APIs are all Apple.

It's a remora, dimwit.
Quick question: For an X-Box that specifies 100-127 Volt and 2.1 Amp - would a 65 Watt power source work, or just burn out?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Since W = V × A, the X-Box would requrie a 250W power supply.

Thanks. He's an art major, and I'm repressing most of my physics classes, so sometimes there's a bit of danger when we handle the electric conversions.

Since W = V × A
uh.
I before E except after C

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I messed up my Palm charger by using it with a prong adapter in Kenya. Since my sister runs her computer off the adapter, and it worked with the iPod just fine, I was optimistic.
But I got just a wee bit of charge out of it when I got back.
At least I hope it's the charger and not something in the Palm itself.

ha. actually I knew that. I just thought the magical appearance of a formula was kind of funny.
