Oh, well that's OK then, there's nothing wrong with feeding adolescents to bears.
My point was that these weren't children that didn't know any better.
So? Baldness can also be a symptom of old age, radiation sickness, and being lit on fire. Making fun of someone for being bald is OK, but insinuating that they're a leper should be punishable by death?
Elisha was also a prophet. In mocking him they were also mocking God.
I can't be certain either, but they might have been riding dinosaurs. That would be pretty scary, right? No wonder God killed them.
Even if there were only 42, they could still be dangerous to one old man.
If you are arguing for the tribe's innocence, Amelek is probably the worse example you can come up with. IIRC, they raided the rear of the procession coming out of Egypt.
The Judeo-Christian scripture has specific instructions against a given people for a specific time.
I am not sure that most orders orders of that nature had a deadline. Not that it matters much. They usually did the job right the first time. (The story of Ester is an example of not doing the job right and having it come back to bite them)
"The Lord said to Joshua [...] 'you are to hamstring their horses.' " (Exceedingly cruel.) (Joshua 11:6)
Quick note: After hamstringing, the horses are useless for warfare, and they only hamstrung the horses that were captured (it's not like they could just wander into the enemy's camp and hamstring 'em there). So they were preventing themselves from using the horses for cavalry and chariots later.
So...
Muslims are going with a closed source model and Christians with a shared-source one? I guess the theistic example of open source in is New Age religions.
It's a poor translation with little context. It was "youths" -- teenagers and young men.
Baldness was a symptom of one of the diseases that would be labeled "leprosy", so this was about equivalent to saying he had AIDS/cancer/whatever (with a much harsher social stigma).
Also, 42 guys died. I can't be certain, but I doubt that was everyone. A crowd of 42+ young men mocking him would be a serious threat to his life.
I don't have administrator status and wouldn't know what I'm doing anyway.
Considering the fact that Slashdot's target demographic very likely has and prizes those two traits you lack, what interests you here? The MS/MAFIAA-bashing?
The specs are already released, so that one is null now.
not GPL'ing the source
Is there any reason not to?
not supporting a specific distribution
GPLing would help with this. If you don't feel like doing that, you could code for the LSB, like RiotingPacifist said
not supporting 64-bit...
It would probably be in your best interest to do this, regardless of what we say. Any decade now, MS will stop making 32-bit OSs.
Now if you're going to take the time to respond to this, please answer me this: Why should company X spend the most time supporting a platform that has the least marketshare?
Again, GPLing or coding for the LSB would help you a great deal in this regard. Also, if Linux is a growing player in the OS market, you would want to be on board early.

I am under the impression that they came to escape the oppressive Church of England and the Catholic Church.

No, Fennec is a (small) species of fox that has large ears
What "- Mozilla Firefox"? It says "- Minefield".
This is rather important. Sure, phones don't often use proxies, but netbooks and wifi-enabled PDAs might.
A stolen one near it's credit limit.
I am in awe. I didn't realize that there were people intimately familiar with *nix that were not also familiar with Windows.
Are there any programs currently available that will generate a file that matches a certain hash?
Microsoft's supposedly fanciest new OS...
Mojave?
Why don't you turn off startup items in msconfig?

Someone with mod points is lacking a sense of humor.
Presumably the box and ads would be green, too?
Maybe, but recycled cardboard would probably be better.
Text isn't a very good medium for conveying sarcasm.

Linux is now an emerging (or growth) market. Ignore it if you want. Your competitors are not.
Huh? Silverlight isn't ignoring us?
True, but an OS does much more than it used to.
Sure, it can network with Linux just fine. But I am asking if it could be used as Linux's network stack.
I assume this wouldn't easily integrate with Linux's current networking setup?
