The idea isn't being hurt, just 1 particular project.
You cannot release someone else's code under a different license without their permission. This is exactly what keeps GPL software *free* so how could it possibly be ironic?
Licenses are *necessary*. They are, in essence, a contract between supplier and recipient. They detail that which each party can expect from the arrangement.
Without the licenses that say 'do what you will with this' there would be no OSS to keep airborne.
In case you hadn't noticed, OSS took off a long time ago.
plan9 is widely considered useless. I'm working hard at highlighting how plan9 could fit into many scenarios so if I see a way that plan9 releates to the topic, I post that relation.
Rob Pike (one of the world's foremost OS researchers) working at google and rumours of a google OS surely isn't offtopic.
A suggestion of desktop environment where networking is considered paramount at the outset is *exactly* what plan9 is, how could you consider that offtopic?
And although I don't post anonymous, a 15 second booting, network aware OS that boots from a CD is *exactly* what plan9 is, how is that offtopic.
We all live on the same planet so there can't be any such thing as outsourcing in a world with trade.
The people of the rich countries hve been happy to eat cheap (though artificially expensive!) food for years.
The short term costs to the newly jobless are high but in a world ecnomony eventually the disparity between one country and another should shrink, unless the disparity is kept open artificially.
Seems not many are complaining that their cheap laptops are built from cheap labour, or cheap shoes. Take a look at the balance of trade for the countries of the world. The US and UK are net importers. China and Taiwan are net exporters. One should consider the long term consequences of this pattern.
We have exploited the disparity for a long long time.

i left daoc becuase the scope of gameplay is too shallow.
Going after mobs is boring because the use the same attack pattern, pvp is fun but boils down to just a numbers game and unless you are level 50 you can pretty much forget it.
I was a master chef and master fishermen in EQ. Both almost totally useless pastimes (though they did add stat boosting to food after I was master). One of the most delightful things was that they added different species of fish in the expansion. This ws good because it added just that little extra bit of interest. What fish live it which bits of water. People enjoyed being given a salmon to eat. I used to take appropriate food for the zone. If we were in Cazic Thule killing lizards I would have a batch of Lizard On A Stick ready to hand out during downtime. It makes for a more immersive game and I, for one, appreciated that.
people clock up hours on both games because they prefer one to the other
you need depth *and* gameplay not one or the other
why do you think counterstrike doesn't have just 1 weapon and 1 map?
DAOC, for instance, had less item depth, each class at each level has an optimum set of kit. Part of the fun of Everquest was the array of items. Even though I was a specialist in 2H Axe I used to carry a set of thulian claws and a rapier. I could then choose whether to deal damage or interrupt casting. No such need in DAOC, the scope of your activity was much less.
I have played quite a few MMOs and EQ has by far the best items. We'd often just go on an adventure to get specific items even though we didn't really need them because that was the fun.
The real variety needs to be in the way the MOBs fight the party. DOACs approach was poor in this area. It wasn't until I hit level 36 that there was any difference in the way one pulls and kills the mobs (chain pulling the pygmies). However, the game was really aimed at PVP so it's slightly excusable.
As for this game, I couldn't care less.
EQ2 is the one the hardcore people are waiting for.
That patently can't be true. MS warezing didn't sgtop them reaching the dominant position, how do you think it would topple them?
Imagine a world where 100% of computers ran windows & office but 90% of those MS installations was warezed. How would that represent a toppling of MS's dominant position?

do you have any idea what 'in essence' means ?

au contraire
I have had many positive responses
Very few posts are of the 'plan9 r00lz' variety, though I must admit the ones you posted weren't very indepth.
I usually post a link to a man page or utility.
I'm not a marketing dept. and there is an element of trolling/spamming involved - brand awareness and all that.
There is no pretense.

right wing?
where I come from we use utf8 so the domain of available variable names is a bit more than 53.
The goal was to make it as small as possible
Then why use 2 letter variable names and newlines at all ?
you mean like this one
If you really want a network OS why not use one
and when the messagew fails to find it's recipient, how will you explain it?
Yes, my mistake. Interesting how making the plural into the singular one adds an ess. My only defence is poor proof reading.
It is I, for whom the nazi is required.
is probably what you are striving for.
My goodness, it is you who need the nazi.
Epiphany
One would have thought one with a decent vocabulary would have known the word for it rather than 'a eureka moment'.
Python threads fail on FreeBSD
Python threads fail inside Apache
The VMU to which you refer is Parrot
to be the backend for Python and Perl and perhaps Ruby & TCL
Hardware support for languages is currently implemented in the x86 architecture to map the C language into one op instructions during assembly.
If you are interested in virtualization then you might be interested in Inferno. Which, when you read it, you'll see it is done the way it should be.
That still leaves the two OS I use all day
.NET have to do with this?
What does
Official Sun JREs ?
if not, then they don't count.

Rob Pike of plan9 fame.
So I hope that any Google OS would be akin to plan9!

> Wow, when was that.. 1999? :) I stopped playing EQ 9 months ago and hadn't seen BTC's for years at that point.
back end of '99 when I got my claws, gifted though.
Managed to drop them outside Freeport (friend who was suing them handed them back but i had full inventory) and someone hoovered them up.
I eventually went and camped the AOF to get some more.
pure nonsense
