    You don't know much about chemistry do you? You really think the only way to make meth is with volatile solvents? Please do some reasearch.

    I'd rather go Red Queen on the @$$|-|0|_3 who thought up this policy. You wanna know what the profilactic for smokers illnesses? Weed and a healthy diet.

    Fast food in moderate amounts is harmless. Weed is harmless in any realistic amount. Amphetamine-like substances are relatively harmless as well, and some of them are about as problematic as weed, when combined with some very easily accessible protective agents (vitamines C and E, some antioxidants found in cosmetics, and weed itself). I can't come up with any popular psychedelic from any other chemical class that proves to be anything but completely (physilogically) risk-free. Smoking is actually cutting health costs in the long term (the people that are liable to problems die early). That just leaves just a couple of problematic substances, large quantities of fast food, and alcohol as sin tax candidates.

    I don't do needles, I shower more often than a lot of non-users I know, and I keep a slight "friendly hobo" style, but nothing too intrusive. I'm treated as if I raped and killed my mother, and every time something goes missing at school, they keep looking for me, even though I was in one room with 24 other people to confirm it, and I had not left the room, for instance. Please excuse my poor grammar, I have the habit of doing mind dumps when agitated. Peace.

    I think I see a market niche for archive drives, this tape buiseness is annoying - simple, lots of spare blocks, low RPM, shock/temp resitant, easily replaceable and interchangeable across drive models control electronics.

    And here is why we need specialized CPUs for channel controller type tasks - asynch DMA engines with checksum abilities, sliding window state tracker registers, a descent sized L3 off chip cache for storing TCP state, that sort of thing. THe whole system needs to be one big TOE, and not just some measily chip on the NIC.

    Is it posssible to tweak the kernel linker to use a modules interface, say fuse.ko, and simply load a statically linked ZFS filesystem?

    Actually, I'm kinda hoping somone will come up with a Prolog query engine. Declarative logical constraints seems the perfect fit fora any sort of data access paradigm.

    My wish - Debian GNU/k* to include OSOL - and I don't mean Nexenta - I mean debian. I'm more of a FC guy myself, but I'm somehow doubtfull the Fedora team is going to include anything non-linux. Though I'm somewhat hopefull someone will wrap up a OSOL kernel with set up linux compat as a kenel package for multiple distros - that may actuall be a good way to save OSOL.

    Actually, it has GC infrastructure in place, and an exception mechanism. Also, it can be used in JIT roles, though that part isn't all that mature.

    casting a string to a number seems natural, while zero initialized numbers are not, so they are treated as strings. Though it would make more sense if there was a force string option that differentiates between numbers in strings, and strings. At least that how I rationalize it. I don't know any PHP, and just a little C.
