Windows is a 64 bit bolt-on, for a 32 bit extension, to a 16 bit operating environment, for an 8 bit OS, built for a 4 bit processor, by a 2 bit company, who can't stand 1 bit of competition...
OK, you have a point. But do we agree that anarcho-capitalism is a purified (read: improved) version of libertarianism? *pulls out black and gold flag*
That's why any sane libertarian is actually an anarcho-capitalist, where there is some expectation that some entity will make sure there is a free market at all times, in all places, which for lack of a better term is called a government, though it's just gonna be one big court, with no executive powers, and lawmaking capabilities of extending existing definitions without being anti-constitutional.
I'm also a fan of the edges of the spectrum. Blue/violet or orange FTW! I can't explain why, though. I guess LPSodium gives the brain the impression of sun[set]/[rise], while cold white/bluish reminds you of moonlight.
Dude, the only people who give a fuck about what the hardware under the browser is, are the guys doing the JS engine. 64 bitness is in the compiler,and what the fuck are doing interfacing the NIC with a browser BTW? That's so perverted it's plain impressive.
Nah, that would be overkill, but sticking the UI in a separate process would be a decent idea. Also, why don't mozilla add the option to run tabs in separate procs?
Faster? Pretty good on most server benchmarks, but not the all time winner by no means. Desktop responsiveness needs work. Consider cooperative multitasking as an alternate strategy. Secure?
I don't think Linux was built with security in mind, and whatever good security it has is inheritance from UNIX, which isn't perfectly implemented. Tack-ons like SELinux are useless until they are set by default and are transparent. This isn't what Windows is know for, but we are talking about general OS quality. Easier to use? Better than Windows in most respects, and OS X in some, but needs work [sic]. Drivers. The bane of all OSes. I know you can't convince Linus to stabilize any internal interface, but if^H^Hwhen you have to add a driver, you shouldn't need to compile anything manually. Throw the source tarball in the appropriate directory, and the kernel should take care of the rest. No user mode utilities for configuration, except the compiler should be involved. Nicer looking?

That's why I said 'for lack of a better term'. Also, replace constitution with natural human rights.
Isn't that an anarchist?

Oxythocin is available synthetically, MDMA too.
And scientific researchers are under no obligation to respect the moral values of a couple of moronic legislators.

That's fine and dandy, but LEDs need square waves.

Google uses commodity tech, AFAIR.
This is a stupid question, but - haven't they heard of multicast?
