    The explenation is very simple: we're moving away from an ice age. Yes; look at the north- and the south pole.

    An ice age start when there's snow falling and water is freezing, and stays there (in whole or in part) untill the next winter.

    The real question is not if there is global warming (there is, simply look at the available data; no need for extrapolating here), but how that global warming is going to affect the human species, in terms of habitablility, or not.

    There are two outcomes:
    1. It is habitable, or;
    2. It is not habitable.

    Then the next question, if not habitable:
    1. Can we, and should we, adjust the climate? (dangerous), or;
    2. Should we change our way of living, like engineering smal biospheres.

    I hope this doesn't mean that after the IBM and later Microsoft dominance, Apple will be the next big headache in computing, but that might turn out to be HTMLv5 (hopefully!).

    If this is about a critical, large budget kind of thing, then this is so secure that I dare to claim that it is perfect, even though it theoretically is not.

    1. Get some general hardware, supported by Coreboot;
    2. Examine the code of Coreboot, then compile with a compiler release that is way older than the hardware;
    3. Examine a microkernel codebase, newer than the hardware, then only compile what you need, simply because unneeded codepaths that are connected to other code can lead to a theoretical exploits;
    4. Encrypt network communications, then bitflip for corruption, and include random noice (Rubberhose File System style);
    5. Run a whitelist network packet checker, like Mandatory Acces Controll profiling, for communication.
    6. Write application for functionality of computing device, compile for other CPU architecture, and emulate on CPU emulator lib.

    Should be good enough, no?

    Pay VERY CLOSE ATTENTION you what you're about to read, in this post. Agree or disagree, but please do read: ...

    An evolutionary gene mutation that proves fit, happens once in (if I remember correctly;) 3000 years. (but I might be wrong).
      Now, why has society advanced so much over the last 3000 years? Because of the ability to read and write. But that's not all there is to it!

    Religion and later governance, has made sure that only the most fit for each particular system, survive. But how exactly does this advance humanity, DNA-wise? The development of human society goes at a much faster rate than that of human evolution... I'll tell you; because there has been only of type of mutation and the rest get annihilated through war, by gene REMOVAL. (by now you're probably frowning upon this seemingly rediculous statemen, but bare with me)

    Here are the facts:
    -We see an exponential increase in psychiatric 'disorders';
    -If you put someone with autism under an FMRI, you'll see something interesting; the brains look very similar, but very different to 'normal people';
    -War is waged often, and many soldiers die by it;
    -Autism and ADHD 'patients' can't stay in bootcamp for very long, because they are lacking social understanding, disaplin and/of planning skills (time is a slave driven invention, used my Napoleon, for a reason);
    -Whenever a war is over, there is alway a birth-wave noticaeble;
    -We are steadily moving towards Technocracy (DRM, TCP, Intelectual property, patents, centralised information systems like FaceBook, meta-internet development and globalization);
    -..... Well by now you can draw the fscking conclusion yourself.

    At some point, the CPU needs to be touched. It's a little technical, but the CPU can only do one thing at a time, and the code can put the CPU in specific states. So when the Vista kernel says: put this into ram and load that page... At which point does the Linux app get to say: "w-wait a second! It's my turn to load some of me there! Hey I want to load that from the harddrive there!"? ;-)

    Vista doesn't suspend to disk untill you tell it to, and then you need to startup the computer manualy and load up the Linux app ;-)

    Good question. It all boils down to the fact that the operating systems have scheduling differences and can't run together, unless virtualised.

    Pure logic is form, expressing their rules in symbols. Math is written in these symbols, but implements its own. Math is explaining the patterns we find in the way everything behaves. How it behaves is written, therefore, in math, and we call it physics.

    Then again, I was not making a point, yet I was explaining how it could be that the expected 50%, wasn't 50%. but then again 50% was expected from a mathematical algorithm. Since math, like I proved, has an infinite amount of variables, the 50% of the time, time which is possibilities thus variables, criteria was not met, because it wasn't tested long enough for the result to become 50%. So what happens in between, is that in a multiverse; 48% of the time it was correct in this universe, and thus 52% of the time it was correct in the other universe. That is true, because it still upholds the quantum principles, because the balance is proven by the averages in the percentage, hence my calculation.
