    The Hurd is finished?

    The end must surely be nigh!

      Yes, indeed. Commercially feasible fusion will also be released this year, and Apple will finally release OS X, and Windows will work, really, this time, and . . . And lets not forget the new Amiga that dual boots into BeOS . . .

      Geeks talking about recursion is a little bit like teenagers talking about sex.

      The ones who don't get it seem to talk about it most.

    I am looking forward to running a Hurd system. "Hurd" is much easier to pronounce than "GhNU slash Linux" is. I think that Torvalds guy should give more consideration to how he names his creations, like the GNU guys do.

    Oh, wait.

    Does Hurd bring other advantages to it that Darwin doesn't already have? Well, yes! The big difference is that Hurd is named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms. Darwin isn't. So there you go!

    RMS hasn't been out of his cave since 1986.

    Yes, but eventually RMS the Grey will escape the caves of Gnuria (s/dwarf/gnome/) as RMS the White, to join Mr. Frodo Torvalds of Back End in the quest against Bill Sauron of Mordor, WA.
