Test Driving GNU Hurd, With Benchmarks Against Linux
An anonymous reader writes "After last week's news that GNU Hurd is coming, Phoronix set out to install Debian GNU Hurd and to provide GNU Hurd vs. Linux benchmarks. Linux was mostly faster than The Hurd while also having much better hardware support, multi-core SMP support, and other modern functionality."
They're still around, they just spend all their time complaining about the lack of serious discussion instead of, you know... contributing to one.
Bullshit. I'm one of those people. The reason you can't have a deep conversation here anymore is because most people have no fucking clue what they are talking about and seriously want to project their worthless opinion onto those who actually know what they are talking about. Then, more people who are completely clueless yet have moderation points punish the people who actually know what they are talking about while rewarding the morons who have a useless and uninformed, albeit perhaps poopular opinion.
The days of deep, knowledgeable, thoughtful exchanges on slashdot are long gone specifically because the stupid factor has made it impossible. Make the stupid, ignorant, uninformed masses go away and/or stop moderating and then it can return, But that's simply not realistic. Stupid is as stupid does, and stupid is here to stay.
