The result being that the economy would not be stimulated. My suggestion would be simply to issue merchandise vouchers or a universal gift card instead of a check. Then the funds could only be used to purchase goods. Also an expiration date for the use of these vouchers or cards could be attached to them.

I would look forward from a tutorial from you on how to kill and respawn Aqua from the command line when you don't have a terminal window open when the beach ball happens. Even if it is just the Finder that hung. How do you kill that? Compare this to Linux. I think you missed the point. Thanks for the comment anyway. John Doe - that is correct about the WindowServer process - but how do you kill/respawn Aqua ala XF86? This is the entire beef people have when comparing Darwin and OSX. Interesting, “OSX User”.

It also does the grunt work of launching new user applications, so most user processes are actually its children in the process hierarchy.

It runs as a separate process, and can easily be killed from the command line and it will respawn. Since you are an "Expert," I leave it to you to discover which process must be killed. However, I note that in my years of using MacOS X, the GUI itself has never hung, some independent routines (like the Finder) may hang, but those also can be killed and respawned (some even from the GUI itself).

I noted that someone on Digg just mentioned that I should have referred to the the "Apple operating system" as "Mac OS X" rather than "OSX". Lol. I am assuming the the reader who would want to read this article would know what I was referring to when I mention OSX as being the "Apple" product and specifically version 10 and not 9 or 8 etc. It's a little like saying the "Chevy Corvette Car" when everyone knows what a "Corvette" is. Sorry if that is confusing for some people... Interesting. I noted that someone on Digg just mentioned that I should have referred to the the “Apple operating system” as “Mac OS X” rather than “OSX”.
