I bought a MacBook Pro about 3 years ago--used, because I refuse to give Apple any money--and to this day I can honestly say I've hardly used it more than to download security updates for it every month or so.
First lesson I've learned--unlike any other hardware I've ever owned, Apple's is constantly sucking power. I've had Windows and Linux laptops that still had 90%+ power after months being powered down. Despite my best efforts, I can't find a way to fully turn off this Apple thing so I still have some battery juice left after a week of being powered down (and though the laptop was used, the battery that came with it was brand new)...

Based on BSD actually. (And partly Nextstep, but that's also built on BSD)

As Jörgen pointed out above, Mac is BSD, not Linux. BSD is Unix and does not use the Linux kernel. Linux was built to provide a working environment similar to Unix, but is of course a completely different animal.

The purists in the lounge... yes, I said Linux, but at the end of that line I said Unix. I knew I should have edited that out (I happen to know better and appreciate the technicality).

Testy!
(How could you possibly have meant anything else?  )
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

No idea, I'm in dev - testing is somebody else's job.
But on a related note, (British vs US English??): are exhaustive tests the same as rectal exams?

That just begs the (very, very old) question:
