"Stupid bickering amongst "which packaging system is better" is a sure way to keep people away from your OS.
Grow up. Sit down with all the people involved. Pick one or create a new one which has all the best parts of all the others. I don't know why/how and I don't care."
Then we just need to decide which religion is best and we can all go home.
"It can keep signals in (preventing attempts to spy on electronic communications) or out, minimizing radio interference and even the fabled electronics-destroying electromagnetic pulse generated by a nuclear blast."
I'm sure being able to view mutant porn after nuclear devastation hits will be a great comfort. Well done to all involved.
There are millions of systems written in COBOL which shove data into a database and drag it out again. There is no advantage in rewriting them. Porting them to another language isn't going to make those disks any faster.
I really hope Netware keeps going as well, as shared storage there's not much that can claim anywhere near such reliability it just chugs away forever doing its job.
Tech "journalists" don't seem to realise that storing and retrieving data is 90% of IT, it may not be terribly exciting but that's just the way it is.
But, if by competitors you mean other Linux companies such as Redhat and Suse etc, they are as much partners as they are competitors. Destroying the companies which make the software you make money providing support and services for would not be a smart move.
You should have just used a public library or better still an internet cafe, then you could have had a nice sit down and a cup of coffee while you were doing it.

My Acer Aspire One boots to GUI in 14 seconds, the keyboards not bad either for a Netbook, it's even quicker if you just suspend rather than shutdown.

A flawless operating system and no more problems with IE. This is truly a great day in history.

Have you ever considered a career in the Diplomatic Corps?
So your assumption is he decided he didn't need a computer after all?
Only if we can filter out posts that begin with BZZT Wrong! as well, actually I pretty effectively filter those out anyway.

That was when it was switched on.
Of course if it was something critical it would be configured for redundant failover.
OpenBSD is only a target because it is so ubiquitous. If Microsoft windows ever becomes as popular, it too will become the target of such attacks. ;)

That is a bet you would lose faster than outlook can lose all your email.

Not for me thanks.

Oh my, yes!
You have our sincerest apologies.
