I’m pretty sure your history is off here. There was a 5 year agreement around 1998 to keep Office available for the Mac, and to make IE the default (but not only bundled) browser available. Safari was shipped almost exactly at the end of th

If you have 1m in liquid assets, you could outright buy 2 houses within easy drive of Austin, or a (smaller) high rise condo right in the middle of downtown.

The only such case I’ve seen was the early betas of Sequoia requiring an extra flag to use higher UIDs for build users.

That’s the idea of an option. Great if it works for him, but having spent a lot of time with Pieter Hintjens (of AMQP and ZeroMQ fame) before he chose the time of his own passing from recurrent cancer, the notion that this is not allowed in

TFL are better than most public bodies but are likely hamstrung on being able to pay anything like market rates for competent security people.

They aren’t really regressions if they weren’t accepted in the first place. A look at the signs on display this time of year just a short drive outside my (major US) city easily convinces me that this is the case, too.
