This generic joke came from a colleague who tried to be politically correct:

Q: How many people belonging to a certain ethnic group does it take to perform a particular menial activity?
A: A finite positive integer. One to perform the activity, and the rest to behave in a manner stereotypical of their ethnic group!

I hope this was not too offensive.

DarwinPorts seems to be a nice alternative to Fink for installing software on Mac OS X.

New York Times has an insightful review of Mac OS X: "In Panther, Apple has taken an already sparkling, super-stable operating system and made it faster, better equipped and more secure."

If moving from Mac OS X 10.1 to 10.2 was like moving from Windows 2000 to XP, moving from Mac OS X 10.2 to 10.3 must be like moving from XP to Windows 2005 (or 2010?).

Update:: There is followup to the NYT article on Mac OS X 10.3.
