But the article also describes great resistance to everything GMO, even something as harmless and beneficial as this.
As most of the worlds scientists seem to be unable to definitively agree on just how harmless GMO is, how is it that you seem to be so convinced.
Diving in and distributing something that may potentially have devastating effects on posibly the worlds greatest staple diet (especially one that does reproduce) could be one of Man's greatest blunders - and that is really fucking saying something!

maybe they have been improved, but they have been around for a long time.
The main benefit from this new type of prosthetic is that all of the opposing thumb movement mechanism is contained within the thumb itself. The main advantage of this is that people who have a partial hand can use this prosthetic because there is room to fit their existing hand inside it. Ironically, people in this position were actually at a greater disadvantage than those with no hand at all.

Linux demonstrated years ago the Monoliths work. MS showed Microkernels don't.
Care to elaborate? Actually there was nothing wrong with the NT microkernel design originally. 3.51 was fast and I believe fairly stable. As far as I can tell the instability came from the UI which has been allowed to contaminate the architecture.
Linux has indeed shown that Monolithic kernels can work well, but there are too many who believe that Linux is the peak of OS design and that it can't be beat, so what's the point in even trying?.
Well in n number of years, we'll all be talking on kuro5hin about the days when Linux was a really good OS for the hardware of it's day and wasn't slashdot great before IBM bought VA. In other words don't stop looking just because what you've got works.

Are they on the same kernel, the same hardware, the same load, the same pipeline, the same setup? Do they serve exactly the same number of images/words/files to exactly the same concurrent number of users? If the answer to these questions is no then it is not good enough.

The biggest problem with Java is not with Java itself; it's with the naïve software engineers who only want to do "neato-cool" things with it. This makes Java engineers look more like effeminate interior designers.
Good point....hang on...no it's a load of bollocks. Go and work at a decent sized company and you'll soon realised that rarely does anyone get to do "neato-cool things".
Another problem with Java is its inherent latency. Java servlets perform, on average,at one fourth the speed of a comparable perl or ASP database.
Nice figure, one fourth, even better if you can give me a source. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that all we ever here is the Java servlets now running as fast or faster than native C++ bullshit and it would be nice to see some test which prove otherwise. You have got a source haven't you?

When someone brings out "yet another database" on the commercial market, no-one seems to bitch about their being too many. When someone releases one to the open-source world suddenly there are a whole load of people thinking that it will water-down the efforts of the open-source hackers.
No-one is going to leave the mySQL effort for this database. Ditto postgreSQL, mSQL and Interbase.
Also, I very much doubt that this DB is even in the same league as mySQL - and by that I don't mean better or worse overall - simply that they will do different things. You won't want to use this SAP DB as a web backend I suspect (designed for different purposes). Equally there's not a hope in hell that you could possibly use mySQL as a backend for R/3 (designed for different purposes).
So before complaining think that there might be others who could use this database or even just some of the code/algorithms - not everyone is writing Web applications.

How many upeer managment board room meetings across the world do you think there have been, with some MS Sales Engineer or such present, saying yep, we run all of "insert service/site here" on NT 4.0, when in reality it was bullshit.
This I can agree with. But this...
I think M$ has gone the backwards road in development, they have refined and refined the UI, but the core of the OS'es ahve suffered. Most Unices on the other hand, ahve a very stable core with (name UI) stuck on top.
...is just FUD. Windows 2000 is not just a refined UI with worse core than NT (which is what you seem to be implying). It is actually far more stable (and probably scalable, though I can't vouch for that myself) than NT ever was. While I agree that Microsoft in the past has concentrated on the UI as the main focus, I really think they have finally started to react (under pressure from Linux?) to the broad industry critisism of their OS's unreliability.

I don't know if it's the same experiment but I saw something on the bbc about a South African guy (I think) trying to do this.
They were actually trying to create new quagga by natural genetic manipulation (inter-breeding). They found the nearest zebras (or some other similar breed) and used hybridisation techniques (see gardening techniques) over many generations of the animals to get as near as they could to the original quagga.

Has anyone stopped to think that it's a really good thing that Microsoft uses a Microsoft server platform for all of their servers whether or not it's the right tool for the job? If you think about it, what better way is there to improve your OS than to start using it on a large scale.
Don't forget that there's a lot here on/. that would be happier about Microsoft failing (just for the sake of it) than everyone being eventually offered the chance to buy a decent product from them. Too many here are happy about having a choice as long as it ends in nix.
Depends on the application. If it's raw speed you need then mysql is the killer db. No doubt about it. This, I suspect is because it gives up some features in favour of speed (transactions may or may not be in this category). If you need some standard RDBMS features such as transactions then go to Postgres, which I'm not too familiar with.
