    Of course, the Tutsi were *already* the aristocracy. You know what the difference between them was? The Tutsi had five or more cows, and the Hutu did not.

  23. The escalation continues. on Hypervisors Can Defeat GPLv3's Anti-Tivoization · · Score: 1
    First we had normal user accounts. That wasn't enough. We added another level, the administrator account, with more control and security.

    Then the administrator was killed in a battle against the viruses. Obviously, that wasn't enough

    So we upgraded again, this time to a supervisor. That worked well enough for a while, but then the authorities at the Tivo corporation found out the supervisor's powers were ineffective against their sworn enemy, the GNU resistance.

    Infusing it with the power of virtual machines, the supervisor was converted into the much more powerful hypervisor!

    So, long story short, I for one welcome our megaultravisor overlords.
