Or is this sarcastic? Obviously I don't use sarcasm enough if nobody can tell.

Way to be ignorant, Retro.
Anyway, why do you need to do anything with templates yourself? Isn't the idea to let C++ do the work? Or do you want to do template checking yourself because C++'s sucks?

You can't write over the BIOS, it's burned into ROM. But yes, Mac hardware does use EFI instead of BIOS. Not sure how it works on other hardware though, you probably have to do some kind of fancy bootstrap thing.

I know that, silly. I just used the same language as you did with "Windows uses a thread for each application."

Windows usually has several threads for each application, even. Right now, Firefox is running with 20 threads, explorer with 11, pidgin with 5... Even if you never need more than a few threads for each application (which in the future will probably change), having more cores would still be nice because applications could use separate cores rather than sharing one or two.

Ubuntu is a single distribution.
Mozilla, OpenOffice.org and Mono are not really part of the operating system, so they're not in its name.
X11 and GNOME/KDE/etc. could be considered part of it, but so much of their operating-system-level stuff is shared anyway that "GNU/Linux" is the most accurate.
Because there's not really <anything else>/Linux, Linux is probably the best name for the operating system.

Linux, while technically the kernel, is still part of the OS's name- GNU/Linux. So calling it Linux is fine, especially if you want to bother the idealistic GNU sillyheads.

No, the kind of tokens I'm thinking aren't arranged at all. Tokens. Just plain old tokens, in a stream. That's what I mean when I say tokens. I think we're all doing a little too much presuming what other people are thinking.
I was thinking of a syntax tree for the method of parsing, but that has nothing to do with what kind of tokens I was thinking of.

What the heck does that mean? Using tokens has nothing to do with whether or not it's parsing it. Besides, it is the kind of tokens I'm thinking of. variable names are tokens, keywords are tokens, symbols are tokens, etc...

Firefox does use XUL. The problem with XUL is that xulrunner isn't really very mature and Mozilla makes it with the attitude that you'll have the XUL runtime and then write XUL apps, similar to GTK on windows (at least that's how I see it).
Using Qt seems like a big mess to me as well. They have some kind of C++ preprocessor that's specific to Qt, just for fancy features not everybody will use.
wxWidgets is pretty big, but it looks better than GTK, Qt or XUL. It doesn't need a runtime on windows (although it does need the dlls or statically linked libraries in the exe), it's plain C++ with a pretty good architecture and its target audience seems to include us.
