China has never kidnapped someone from another country, IN another country, and then sent them off to be tortured in a THIRD country in a secret CIA prison.
You must be omniscient. Or just claim to know things that you couldn't possibly, considering the thousands of years that there have been civilizations there. What were you thinking? Or were you?
Key point in TFA: "Most people don't even know these organizations exist. Unfortunately the federal health privacy rule does not cover many of them. . . . The lack of transparency with how all of this works is disturbing."

Ingenix;

I think that/.ers should link the "print" version of TFA, because I don't want to look at the "Profit Centric" version, especially the dillweed's face and a ton of other irrelevant shit:
It sounds like a Unix competitor for data centers doing cloud computing and search engines:
1) GUI not integrated into OS (like Unix)
2) Tasks movable around the cloud (like Google)
This is not an OS for Granny and Junior with a dog scratching at the ground while you search. It's intended for real work (like Unix).
David Deutsch's Home Page (http://www.qubit.org/people/david/David.html) is a good place to start. Not only is he an active scientist in the field, he has written an excellent popular book(http://www.qubit.org/people/david/FabricOfReality/FoR.html); "The Fabric Of Reality".
A good reason to look there is to get an intuition of the concept of computing using parallel universes.
The whole idea behind Xerox Star(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xerox_Star), Apple Lisa/Mac, then Fuckroass's knock-off, "Windows", WAS to make computers "friendly" to non-computer people.
But the youngsters who grew up with it now think it's a real OS.
Be a shame for millions of yound minds in the developing world to be twisted the way they have been where MSWin has become the default.
Configure says:
checking for __gmpz_init in -lgmpxx... no
configure: error: GNU MP not found, download at http://swox.com/gmp
Guess what? That link is a 404.
But with some searching it's possible to find the latest version of GNU MP (http://gmplib.org/), but even after sucessfully building that, you still get the same fucking shit trying to build IHU (I Hate You).
I'm sick to fucking death of that kind of horseshit.
And I'm GNU/Liunx's biggest fan. I've been getting my frustration fix downloading and building this shit since Linux kernel 0.11 in 1991.
But the dumb-fucking-ass fucktards that write some shit and throw it over the wall, and forget about it, piss me the fuck off.
Probably the same squirt who said 25 to 30 year olds were old-timers.
Maybe if you started programming when you were 3, junior.
Moving over the years from CP/M, RT11 and RSTS, through VMS, Ultrix->OSF1->Tru64; when all of a sudden my company gave me a laptop with windows. And I thought, WTF is this shit?!
Linux, OS X, and OpenSolaris are a continuation of normality. Windows has been a painfully long battle with a brain-rotting disease.
Okay, I though of that too, but I didn't blab my dumb-ass, half-baked idea in the Washington Post.
Why not push the thing all the way to Pluto?
As long as no one minds that there's no chance of using the Soyuz to escape to Earth if it catches fire, or whatever.
And crews have to stay there for years instead of months. Same thing waiting for missions to tart it up, bring up more toilet paper, or whatever.
I'd like to see it happen, but if a boondoggle at the edge of space costs say (for the sake of argument)$100000/day, then one in orbit around the moon will cost $one gahillion/minute.
Fuckin' A, right. If only there was an inovative open source office suite that started from scratch and implemented the required functionality, but taking advantage of what's been learned over the years, instead of just copying ancient MSOff's retardedness.
Ditto, Gnome vs. MSWin.
Obviously the original strategy was to be familiar to MS users, so they would be comfortable switching. But, that would only work if the competition stood still. And, now there are online replacements like Google Docs.
Too bad. The best thing to come out of OO is the insight to be better instead of the same.
Obvious point: Seriously rich people have to create these foundations, otherwise they will have to give a serious amount of their money to the government.
Good deal for the poor: The foundation has to give some money away so it will be considered a charity.
Good deal for the rich guy: Tell the president of an African country that you'll build medical labs, hospitals, or schools, and throw in free copies of MSWin, and all he has to do is forget about that silly Linux.
It's probably better that way. On the one hand, the poor kids will grow up thinking MSWin is a real OS, but at least they're healthy.
RMS has always been a bit of a nut, but there's hardly a minute of the day that goes by that I don't use GNU, so I guess I can't complain too much about either one of these guys.
PS. I hate MS.
Once the Earth froze completely over. The Earth is normally a very cold place, and it's gradually getting colder. The human species was struggling until recently (last 10ky) when we entered one of the brief warm periods, called inter-glacials.
For humans to survive for a geologically significant period of time, we have to understand that climate changes, and adapt to it, rather than fantasizing that we can somehow preserve the Earth forever just the way it is at this instant, like a museum exhibit.

Would you please explain why you continue to elect such a corrupt, criminal asswipe as Berlusconi?

Something less bellicose might not have caught anyone's attention.
A better word than bellicose would be childish.

CBEs or successors will probably get popular in HPC.
The Barcelona Supercomuting Center, for instance, has a site on Linux on Cell BE-based Systems: http://www.bsc.es/plantillaG.php?cat_id=96
Fan boy.

But that's still too paid-by-the-word (or ad) author-centric-blabby.
Looking around, I can't find any better analysis. Everyone else is doing exactly the same: pretending to reminisce.
Well, I had good times there, but fuck it. Times change. And you can download AdBlock for your Firefox.
If only there was a way to go straight to the print version.

I sometimes look at wunderground for wx here in Toronto, but that telnet server only works for the states. Too bad.

Linux, OS X, and OpenSolaris are a continuation of normality. Windows has been a painfully long battle with a brain-rotting disease.
Then someone wanted to shorten the term, but instead of "disc drive", they chose "hard drive", and unfortunately it stuck.
Now we have drives that spin hards, thumbs, and solid states.
Doesn't anybody think about whether the terminology they're babbling makes any sense?

1) If you're technical, go to Google 2) If you're not, go to Fuckroass
