That would be the same 20 something crowd that doesn't grok the concept that their friends photos aren't loading because the moron emailed a 5 megapixel Jpeg and they have a 56 Kb line.
You laugh but I've had 2 different individuals in 2 days ask for my help to fix that very problem.
Sure they can Torrent a movie... Over the course of a year.
That would be a neat trick, considering that calculations for a controlled re-entry require about 5000 pounds of propellent to be burned over the space 35 minutes.
The current engines on the station can't do that. A De-orbiting mission would require one, if not 2, cargo pods to help with the braking.
So yeah, cover the internal systems but make sure business customers are immediately notified of the employee's termination in case accounts beyond the employer's control exist.
In fact I have just such a notification system in place for when I'm terminated... muhuhuhahaha!
Actually, the Mac OS X Kernel is the Mac OS X Kernel, and the Linux Kernel is the Linux Kernel.
To couch them in terms of Monolithic versus Micro would be like trying to classify an economy as Capitalist or Communist.
Neither economy has ever existed in it's pure form. Both descriptions also have political overtones that have precious little to do with their actualy description.
You can't download the binary of a driver, tell the kernel to load it, and expect it to work unless the person who compiled just so happened to have the exact same version info, and by some miracle the same compile options.
Yes, distros like RedHat and SuSE do have binary drivers for download, BUT ONLY if you stay with the stock kernel.
Just because you can "load modules" doesn't mean you are suddenly a microkernel. God it's like monolithic has become a swear word, it's a perfectly valid design.
Windows have their own hazards, between falling out when poeple lean against them, and blowing in and shredding people inside when an explosion goes off.
The windows were a source of metal fatigue that lead to the first jet liner crash, the Comet in 1962!
But you forget, this is an industry prediction. And as such Apple is DYING! See, they are running BSD, and BSD has been dying for years. Further proof!
Having had my share of experiences working with open source projects, both frustrating and satisfying, I can understand where Apple is coming from.
Back in college I had written a patch to the core of a particular scripting langage. I needed it to get a microcontroller to talk to my programs running under Mac OS 7. I sent them my patches, trying to do my civic duty.
For reasons that go beyond this discussion, the modifications I had made were not a good fit for general consumption. After a bit of back and forth, I worked the modifications into an extension for the language.
The point is, as a user I had to really tweak the inner workings of the program to get my particular application to work. It just so happens that my needs, and the needs of the "vanilla" project were not compadible.

(Now that I think about it, better clamp the pipes on the firewall at work. It's good to be the Engineer. Muhahahaha)
I have a copy of the movie suitable for download over even a dialup line. Be gentle: Clicky Clicky[etoyoc.com]

Quiet man, I can't hear the light sabres and the blaster shots over that racket.
Actually, Fark submitted this story with a funnier headline.
What, are you going to hit him with a disintegrator beam or something?
Disaster a year away if ISS is abandoned
Numerous potentially fatal problems during construction
ISS Flying with 800 safety problems, some potentially fatal.

9. In a past life I ruled the world with an Iron first, Crushed my enemies, saw them driven before me, and heard the lamentations of their women!
I'm breathless that you would play on that dark sort of humor. I have a right mind to asphyxiate you where your stand.
No, actually Microsoft would probably buy SuSE. It's been a couple of months since they pissed the EU off.

Hey this is slashdot, not slash Dot.
Well at least with computers, if a User crashes with it they don't end up in the ER or a holding cell.

It's like "Rock Paper Scissors"

What other industry refers to it's clientele as "Users", distrubutes "Fixes", and manages to make the price go up every year?

Oh well, that's still double plus good.
We have a 7100 series that I use as a step-ladder to access stuff on a top shelf. It has never teetered or shifted.
Mainly that the folks who are behind the break ins read the same news articles we do.
