The attack wasn't even coherent. Nothing is proven.
There are already OSes that have withstood far more vigorous attackthan this one, they are the BSD family. The attack even precipitated Linux adoption !

utter crap, it shows that SCO had a terrible case and that the markets are about making money not deciding on merits of legal arguments.
So, if I am following your argument, making available copyrighted material (such as open shares) will soon set a precedent for prosecution. Although I see the danger of this 'prosecution without proof of a crime taking place' I sill don't see how this will 'destroy the internet as I know it', excepting the crime of 'link to a domain on which there are pages that link to copyrighted material' - which would be v. annoying. I can't see that case taking off wholesale, there's too much at stake for players like Google & MSN - & haven't we been there before ?
If you found a website with a link to an mp3 you had for sale elsewhere what recourse would you like to see ?
A little too much hyperbole in that statement, methinks.
Care to elucidate how I'm going to connect to the internet one day and not recognise it ?

An apprentice carpenter may want only a hammer and saw, but a master craftsman employs many precision tools. Computer programming likewise requires sophisticated tools to cope with the complexity of real applications, and only practice with these tools will build skill in their use.

That's not plan9, that's plan9 ports
The plan9 kernel has 37 syscalls
> No mmap huh? No shared libraries? Er, nice!
That's considered a feature

I use Plan 9, we have effectively no users either and we're a mature OS (15 years +) out of one of the best research labs on the planet (Bell Labs) with good apps.

My friend was flying back to the US that day, they even took her book from her. Yes, no books on that 7 hour flight.
I'm flying to Australia in 3 weeks, 10 hours with no books? Allah be praised!

Linux didn't win ANYTHING.
How many times do your desktop icons disappear momentarily & reappear like the desktop is rebooting ?
That's a crash.
I thought these people http://www.lessemf.com/ had rf shielded wallets but seems not. They do sell RF proof fabrics, oh and a bone-fide tin-foil hat
Did you know ever person responds to medications differently ?
Unless you test it on your twin / clone you can never be sure, even then they will have been exposed to things you haven't and vice versa.

Your assumption that I quote myself is erroneous.
But yes, I don't care if you use it or not.
Worse is better worked out for Linux & HTTP/HTML
Market share is for marketing people.
Not everyone is trying to dominate the desktop.
Your assumption is that I quote myself, this is erroneous.
I use plan 9, we have a worldwide distributed OS see http://9grid.de/
chmod does not an OS make
No-one is a first approximation.
Nothing you mention would seem to change that.
I use Plan 9, we have effectively no users either and we're a mature OS (15 years +) out of one of the best research labs on the planet (Bell Labs) with good apps.
good luck
You have, of course, heard of all the OSes that firefox & opera DON'T run on ?
The compilers used for Inferno are the same ones :

I'm told the licence is different for those (GPL, MIT or something like that), though I have not looked myself.
I think that's the file, the full list is here :
