"The universe can be infinite without ever having such a 747"
How do you figure? i would have though (as i asid) that infinity means infinite everything, and your example of the 3 not being an even number only served to make me more confused:)
i might have to grab those books tho, they sound cool
you didn't take it far enough - if the universe is infinite, not only has a boeing 747 been constructed by a tornado - it has happened infinite times! it is still happening infinite times! there are also an infinite number of earth's throught the universe, infinite identical ones, infinite ones with slight or major differences.
you see, once you start throwing around infinity, its hard to stop, cause it is such a big (really??) concept. and just think, in all of infinity, you are infinitely meaningless, now doesn't that feel great:)
From what I can see, you have completely missed the mark. We are not just judging them on the headlines, I think it is safe to say the a fair share of the people that are reading these comments also read the article, which clearly shows many faults in this distro. It has been tried, and it failed, we are not just zeaolously attacking it because we think we should
Another thing: Aren't all the current Linux distributions based on the Linux kernel? Did any of the non-slimeball Linux companies write that kernel themselves?
Do you see any distro's that are just repackages of the Kernel, sold for money? I don't think so. Linux is more than just the kernel, distributions (for the most part) save the user the hassle of building their GNU/Linux system from the ground up, therefore saving much time, effort and experience. I run a distro I made myself, and it took a very long time to download all the right programs, compile them, make sure they all work, make my own init scripts etc etc etc and im 100% sure that not everyone wants to do this, but everyone wants something that works without too much hassle right? If anything, you are just taking the opposite side of the argument becuase you think you should, or you think its cool to do so.
