April 16, 2007 (Computerworld) -- Directory services are a critical
component of any enterprise environment. These services provide a
database for central account management for both user and computer, as
well as a framework for sharing that information among workstations and
servers. Mac OS X's native directory service is called Open Directory.
Every Mac OS X computer includes a local Open Directory database --
referred to as a domain -- that stores information about local user
accounts. This local domain allows each user to have a computing
experience and home directory, and the local domain works with the file
system to manage permissions on files and folders. Mac OS X Server
relies on shared Open Directory domains to provide network user accounts
that can be used to log into computers that are bound to a shared
domain. The shared domain can also allow users to access resources on
other servers that are bound to the domain. Shared domains also allow
systems administrators to define custom user environments.
Open Directory is a multipart architecture that performs the basic
functions of any directory service in addition to providing mechanisms
for accessing non-native directory services platforms such as Microsoft
Corp.'s Active Directory and Unix Network Information Service servers.
It also has components that manage Mac OS X's access to self-discovering
network protocols including Apple Computer Inc.'s Bonjour, Microsoft
Corp.'s Server Message Block/Common Internet File System and the open
standard Service Location Protocol. When discussing Open Directory,
however, the phrase typically refers to its function as Mac OS X's
native directory service.

Lameass is jealous. Copy/paste another Apple invention.
You truly deserve your new name - my invention.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_and_paste
"Cut and paste was first invented by Lawrence G. Tesler (Larry Tesler)
while working at Xerox Corporation Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) in
1974-1975."

"Copy and paste in a modeless editor was invented by Larry Tesler at
XEROX Parc for the Smalltalk-76 programming environment, in 1973-76.
In Smalltalk, when you selected some text you had a large number of
commands you could apply to the selection; 'again', 'copy', 'cut',
'paste', 'doit', 'compile', 'undo', 'cancel', 'align'. So it less
likely that the command you would want to use 80% of the time would be
'copy'.
In the original world of X-Windows, you just had 4 xterms. If you
selected some text, the *only* command you could do was 'copy'. Hence,
the origination of this shortcut I believe."
In fact, to see just how small the contribution of Apple has been see:
