Single sign on - yup & secure too Security included by default, not as an add on like in Unix & Windows which both evolved from single user systems and the problems that brings [I mean root - how crazy!] Totally re-entrant in all sorts of ways [get a prompt, type 'rio', and the windowing system runs inside that window - great for testing and you can even choose to transparently run it on remote CPUs]
I hope the hurd does get something out of the door.
In all honesty you obviously know absolutely nothing about the subject.
In original doom the mobs were sprites. They are not 3d entities. The maps were lit and rendered in an extremely processor intensive way so that when the time came to display them the CPU wasn't bogged down in light mapping.
Why would someone in 1993 decide to include bump mapping and environment mapping and real time lighting and smoke data to a computer game that wouldn't be able to be seen for 10 YEARS!!!
And you are wrong, the industry did evolve in that direction, well two actually. OpenGL and DirectX are systems where the scene is described at a higher level precisely for the reasons you mention [although usually it's for the requirement to degrade gracefully rahter than extend shelf life]
I'm glad that Doom & Heretic et. al. look outdated because I want the next crop of cutting edge stuff.
You cen bet that no-one will be including smell & touch data in their games to extend the shelf life of these products when such technologies exist.
This would mount the remote ftp site into your local namespace so that when you did ls/n/FreeBSD you got the directory listing of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD
Shell programmers will instantly see the advantage of such a system over application level ftp clients.
You can use all the tools you presently use for files for manipulating the remote filesystem. None of your applications will have to understand ftp to operate and you can write new ones without even worrying about ftp libraries or whatever difficult protocol you can envisage.
plan9 achieves all this by employing a kind of universal protocol called 9p [now 9p2000]. It's quite a simple protocol and just does not much more than read, write, walk.
It sounds like the filtering system is a way to implement virtual file systems. I do hope so.
There are many interesting applications for such a concept. The list supplied with plan9 is here
to get into a permanent arms race with crackers is potentially expensive.
Media people want a reasonble barrier to copying.
Photocopying a whole book is too time consuming/expensive for most people so we don't often see photocopied book at swap meets.
The fact that one can rip it via analogue is an unescapable fact so spending millions on developing a foolproof anti-digital copying mechanism is generally a waste of time.
Rememebr the VHS-VHS anti-copying machanism where some sort of modulation is inserted so that the sounds & colour fades in and out when the modulated signal is introduced as aliasing?
I know that you didn't profess to be a Heinz expert but the history of Heinz may prove some worth.
Heinz believed in people and quality. --- The first product was horseradish, and the glass of its bottle was clear. There was a reason: while competitors extended their horseradish with fillers, concealed from view in green glass jars, Founder Henry John Heinz took his stand on quality and proudly displayed his product in transparent bottles. See? No leaves, no wood fiber, no turnip filler. ---
As for people - he built and maintained on site accommodation for his factory workers. Laundry & food, education, child care and other things were supplied as part of the worker renumeration. The families ate in huge dining halls.
Heinz was one of the few companies to not lay people off during the depression. In fact he increased his workforce. He felt that American business had let the American people down by turning them onto the streets.
& btw. hardly anyone outside of American rides a Harley. They are the gayest bikes in the world
I arrived in casualty once in St. Andrews on a Suturday afternoon with a split face (hockey ball). The nurse on duty had to page the doctor back from the golf course to come and stitch me up.
Inferno's not an OS/Language hybrid but it is a virtualised unix like OS that will run with identical interfaces, including GUI, on differing hardware & software combinations. It will run natively on some hardware [such as my IPAQ] and hosted elsewhere - such as Windows & Linux.
It was a project started before Java and shares many of it's aims but went that one step futher by retaining the concept of an OS where you can read and write files etc.

simple enough
There are modular systems such as you describe but games programming *IS TIED* to the system capabilities.
or do what everyone else does and nto worry too much about the 'beta testing' customers.
If the plan is for a long lived site then the first few teething troubles shouldn;t present too much of a problem.
Make sure you are contracted for the months *AFTER* the deadline too [or don't fix the inevitabel bugs]
What you will usually find is that once you have finished it, no-one wants it like that any more anyway.
Keep your head, don't panic. Tell them -no one dies when a website is down. They aren't losing money because if it doesn't work it doesn't work.
BE UP FRONT. Don't tell 'em "Yeah it's going great" when it isn't and don't say "it will never be finished".
good luck.
and a web based interface.
get an NNTP server that can be configured to control posting via authentication and you are away
of course no-one thinks IRC and NNTP are cool enough these days. They need to have shmancy names.

If I zoom in will I be able to see the blood pumping through it's wings?
Or a bunch of flowers.
Is each individual pollen grain to be described?
Will the water eventually splash?
I hope one can run GEOM filters in userland. Sounds like a way to implement a totally soft file system.
/n/FreeBSD ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD
/n/FreeBSD you got the directory listing of ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD

In Soviet Russia Americans look educated
Okay you can funk around and alter the hardware but then it's no longer really an XBox.

ah the joys of rural life
members of the IBM Linux Technology Center share their expertise as they describe how they ran several benchmark tests
Notice not "IBM share Benchmark testing results"
because my console has trouble with X applications
gosh I never knew that.
Did the Human Genome Project do much research into soup preference alleles?
I thought that it was people who cut of fins not races.
You'll be telling me next that me not drinking milk is an insult to my ancestors or some other such nonsense.
Now, nothing created after 1923 may ever belong to us all in this manner again.

Don't you know that God created everything in six days, the world's only 5000 years old, and dinosaurs are planted hoaxes?
There aren't too many places in the English speaking world where that comment would get a "-1 flamebait".
I guess American Christian Fundamentalism and Islam aren't that far apart after all.
I think about the only difference is that Islam proscribes family photographs.
Evolution is just as much a religion as Creationism.
It just gets better.
I'm heading for -1 Offtopic or -1 Flambait too I guess.
