Oh... Sorry dude. Hope it improves. I was like that once. My own insecurities and ambitions had turned me into some misanthropic wunderkind, with no concept of compassion. Now, sadly I long for those days, when I didn't have the habit of becoming codependent and entwined with every social connection I attempt. It's even worse when I'm looking for a girlfriend. By the time I get around asking her anything, I'm already head-over-heals, and gaining speed straight down. And when I inevitably get cut-off, I don't dare look a girl that might interest me in the eye for weeks. I hope they come up with some sort of preventative version for people like you and me.
Actually, I'd say that DFBSD still isn't really that usable, but the PC- and Midnight BSDs are anything but minor options for the desktop. I'm not sure Minix FOSS, though. Haiku is kinda iffy because they are contemplating dropping POSIX compliance. MenuetOS is in x86 assembly. That's a problem. IIRC, it ain't POSIX either. QNX is available as FOSS for non-commercial use. Oh, and you forgot Darwin. It's not real fast but it has an existing hardware support pool, albeit small, and I think the Mach-O format and relative directory support is nifty. Though I'd like 'em better as NetBSD bolt-ons, but, sadly, the Darwin ABI implementation is old, and PPC-only. Too bad.
Who is the bumbling buffoon who didn't setup a multithreaded driver stack, if not for performance gains, then at least for backwards compatibility. *grumble* *grumble*
Actually, I think it's called cooperative multitasking. A neat idea. Too bad it didn't take off, now we wouldn't have to be dealing with SMP's locking issues. And the sneakiest part - since JS is Prototype-based OO language, they only need to implement a basic threading concept so as to create an actor-based concurrency model. Nice one, Palm. Cheers and good luck!
Hey, FLOSS is about fun for the programmers, ot just pure utility. You do realize that the name UNIX was a pun, right? Apparently programmers like cute mascots. If you don't like it, fork and change the artwork.
That's one of the problems with English. Some words are to vague. For instance, in Bulgarian, we have "svoboda" for free as in freedom, so it's "svoboden software" for free software, and "bezplaten" for free as in beer, becoming "bezplaten" in "bezplaten software" for freeware (closed source). Sorry for the OT post, just observing.
So... You're saying e need a kick-ass FLOSS game-development platform. Well, open source was always good with libraries and programming tools. I wonder if someone can whip up something with Python for general purpose shit, with Pyrex on LLVM bytecode for the processing intensive shit, and Java bindings for all the APIs.
They invade most people's privacy because they don't take simple measures. Those who want to avoid them, will do so easily. See? - Both ineffective, AND invading privacy.
Yes, but this is the Evil Internets (tm)! We cannot sit by and let out children suffer! Illegal child pornography and viruses could be spread by online predators and malware hackers using this black market in pirated Intellectual Property.
How can you be so naive? We must act now before it is too late!
Uhhh, dude, IIRC, Ferrari used active and semi-active suspension in their vehicles so as to reduce body roll, because it interferes with active downforce elements (F1 back-flips, anyone?).
Isn't this like regenerative active suspension? Dude, dude, fuck mileage, we gonna have a shitload of active downforce elements and not worry about stability, how cool is that? Seriously, a beefy hybrid could pass as a race car any day, so why not make 'em race-ready?

What you described is called ADHD. It's quite real, and I speak from personal experience.
maps.org has some interesting studies showing MDMA to be a very useful one-time therapeutic agent for treating PTSD.

- Hello, operator? I'd like to make a conference call with Google, IBM, Sun Microsystems and FSF legal departments.
*snicker*
Try doing that in Ada or Python and call me back...
Metal/rapcore band. They maybe popular, but that don't mean they are shit. Like most everyone else on the music market.
Mod parent up.
Don't forget synergy! (sorry, couldn't resist)
Netcraft confirms it.
*ducks real low*
Can Linux do heterogeneous SMP? Someone call Linus... *thinks* And the LLVM project...
Could I get rid of the intel CPU and Windows, and fill it up with batteries instead?
Tell that to M$, damn, even Apple has been doing this for ages...

It's running a RAID-Z2, on a Sunfire multiblade cluster, you insensitive clod!

Don't let me find you...
I hope you were sarcastic... Or else...
