Oh, really? I see you are unable to see my point. You worry too much about the literal meaning of what I wrote and less than it should with what I wanted to pass when writing (and worst, english is too simple to express a complex idea).
But since I see that you need an explanation simple and direct, I live having problems with libraries that change the way they work (breaking that depends on them) or the new version nows depend on obscure libraries (many betas, or even alphas) that seems that only the developer of then can make it work. And this is FUD? Only in your planet I think.
Good for you, but it is not my experience. Have you tried updating - in my most recent desktop case - the X server? I assumed I could, only do discover that I will need to update the whole distro and it would cause me a world of other issues. And a Windows 2000 (even XP) can function well as a server, if you just do not let a user using it as "desktop".
Maybe. I also considered moving to libraries maintained by more professional developers, but the system functions that depend on them are not important enough to justify the extra cost . Given also the cost of migrating the code to use better (and paid) libraries, is better - at least for now - just do not try to update those that are in use.
Uhh... "solid"? Windows 2000 (and now XP, really!) is solid too on a good hardware if you use good enought drivers and stay away from the crappyware.
And you're right, the Linux kernel works reasonably well for me. The problem is you do nothing with just a kernel, you need applications and libraries. And these libraries can not completely change their function calls every 3 months. And that when they work properly.
You simply do not put internet acess in a critical system, period. You can have a local network, just do not plug the damn thing on the internet. A shitfull scriptkiddie can't do anything against a isolated system
Well said. I also have systems that I just can't upgrade because the new version of some key library is broken or breaks compatibility, and I found that the FOSS people does not care enough about backward compatibility.
Others will say "but it is easy to migrate, stupid". It can be applied to a "my first app" application, but when it comes to an enterprise application with thousands of users and dealing with many things, is a... little more difficult.
Exists a third alternative, in my honest opinion: An intelligence from space in action.
I still remember the interesting theory that the "gods" were actually astronauts from other worlds. The evolution is still valid, but as Arthur C. Clarke would say, we may have "taken an evolutionary kick in the butt".
P.S: Google translation sucks. Do not worry about my terrible grammar
Curious.... You who have serious trouble trying to understand what you read and I'm the liar? Read that again, "genius"... Unlike the religious, I do not try to invent "magic solutions" to the that I can not find an answer. But at least I'll try to find a better answer than "God said so".
I agree. The Enterprise-A is cool but from the enginnering view point is a impossible design (at least for me). The first time you accelerate the spacecraft, the supports of the nacelles and the "neck" would be destroyed.
Are you sure? Example... Say publicly that you are an atheist and then try to apply for a job as mayor or governor. You will find a little... difficult. For president? You will need to believe in god.
Just one thing you forgot, "genius"... I do not say that anything is true without a proof. Reserve your "religious reality distortion field" for yourself.
Okay, simple version: For normal people, something is not always true because he believe it's true and he knows it. For a religious person, if he believes then must be true. And if you say otherwise, he will say that you are a heretic. The difference was clearer now?
If anyone accuse you of patent infringement, check the patent calmly. If the patent is something obvious like "I invented the rounded corners", shoot the lawyer (twice, for sure) and send his head (only the head) back to the owner of the "patent", and repeat this until the owner of the "patent" runs out of lawyers.
Sorry, but you (assuming you are religious because of your comment) are a exception. If you want a version more conservative then I say that most religious have serious difficulties with logical reasoning, more than the average humanity because you have there the factor "but it goes against the will of my God then it can only be lies!!" Get it?
The difference between you and me is that I do not believe that something is true. I go after the facts and do experiments to see if it's true or not true. Reality is not reality because you believe it or not, it just is.
Well, remember that religious people are incapable of logical reasoning. As you well placed, the player of the Mass Effect series who wants to see such situations needs to actively go after them, as it would in mundane reality. Oops... My bad, religious people are unable to accept reality as well.

I do a lot better: I just admit I do not know the answer instead of saying that a "supernatural and miraculous being is the responsible".

It took that long for me to be considered "flamebait" by angry religious? :-)

How can I mod the parent Insightful and funny at the same time? :-)
Simply shoot the lawyers and the "Graphics Properties Holdings" to death. This already gone too far.
I hope you are not the pilot :-)
The results will be really implosive!

My machine is named as HAL9003 (successor of HAL9000). And yes, he has an eye.
