Pardon my Francais, but you sir, a a fucking dink.
I am talking ABOUT GPU INNOVATION.
This was - in fact - the basis of GPLs creation. Stallman couldn't get an updated printer driver.
So, all the innovation going on outside GPL should lead those other systems to lead in large-scale big data environments and storage/compute clouds, right?
Implicit in this is the proposition that GPL IS GOOD FOR INNOVATION.
You better make a flippin' good GPU, and invest there. If you depend on drivers to add value, and you fail to deliver on this? Someone is free to improve or replace your driver.
Meanwhile, the other guys compete with a level playing field.
It is a common error to attribute Achaeans - and the Dorians, too, really - to "Europe". One may do so, based on the southeastern-most hump of that continent, surely.
But the intellectual world in which they were grown, and the tradition they embellished and elevated was not indigenous to the Balkans. It was rather a part of the Indo-Aryan world, which acquired a unique synthesis of Egyptian, Levantine and Mesopotamian influences.
"Greece" as it was understood as the Hellenic world? As much a part of Asia Minor as of Europe.
Sparta and Athens become important after Ionia - which was the real incubator of Doric civilization and passed the legacy to Attica. Given the proximity to Phoenica, this is the natural route for an alphabet to move from the Levant to the Greeks.
Later, despite the ahistoric and anachronistic term Graeco-Roman - the Romans did almost nothing to transmit and develop Greek science and culture. This was left to the Persian and Arab world - who became the first society to cultivate both Platonic and Aristotelian schools - and were the causal for their living preservation and transmission to Europe in later centuries.
Yet this crucial - and golden age - of "western"or "European" tradition is discredited. Again, by the descendants of illiterate tribesmen and petty war lords, who appropriate a history, and call it their special, providential inheritance.
Yes. The world's longest-lived and wealthiest societies in all of history prove your thesis. NOT!
Egypt commanded through 3 principal epochs - over 3000 years of culturally continuous and reasonably enlightened civilization, outstripping the dreams of wealth in over that period.
They were able to accomplish this without your revolting melanin-deficiency.
This is but one example. Somehow, northern barbarians - who until a few short centuries ago, slept in the straw, still matted with their own dinner-filth - think they are the center of the universe. The maths and science they inherited from central and south asia have been used to rip the planet to shreds. Then they blame the victim as proof of their moral superiority.
This is very naive. You only talk of virtual hosting as a cloud. That's a 2006 state-of-the-art.
In fact, the GROWTH in cloud architecture comes as a transition of the traditional, Enterprise data-center. This is the next stage after the large-scale consolidation of Enterprise x86 computing onto a virtual platform for efficiency and cost.
A cloud offers elastic capacity for compute and storage requirements.
Ordering and provisioning are business/enduser driven, from a service catalogue.
All policy enforcement and management functions are topology-gnostic - and largely independent of typical identifiers in non-cloud archetectures (including IP, Port/vlan/subnet mapping).
In fact, the ability for a workload to exhibit elasticity, practically requires topology agnosticism.
I remember the drive packs. We called 'em "Cake Lids".
The lid for our school was mounted in day time. After hours, another lid would be mounted and the system turned over for District data processing duties until the next day.
This resource was too dear for persistent home directories. If you were to keep data overnight, we had eight-inch floppys.:-) Hacked with a hole-punch, a'la Apple ][ - to be double sided

Paid by Microsoft to take a dive, and open a "Microsoft-sized hole" in the market.
But that's not working put as planned, either...

Get a clue.

This is promotion of innovation over obfuscation.

I'm sorry. My comment meant to contextualize, not criticize.
Economics = Pseudo Science
Genetics = Immature discipline
"Breaking the Law is useful in enforcing the Law that is illegal under the foundation of Law."
Wonderful little police state you got there.
And uses economic means for post-colonial extraction and suppression of material from resource-rich populations, without requisite compensation.
It calls this "development".
East Africa was literate a millennium before Europe.
North Africa and West Asia invented literacy.

Pathetic.
Between a pseudo-science and an immature discipline!

Somehow, I dont' think that this fairy-story will much resemble the drone-infested, FEMA camp that most USians will inhabit, 15 years from now...
There's not enough Brazil in the scenario described.

Thanks, Slashdot. You are now a Gizmodo ad.
La Jolla, pre "Pannikin"? :-)
I haven't seen the place, myself, in 30 years.
He didn't claim this was 79. He was waxing reminiscent on the last of the PDP 11's.
By citing the 386SX, it's pretty clear that the time referenced is 88/89.
I played Star Trek - even years earlier, when a friend's father was computer lab administrator at the Naval Post Graduate school.
But my screw-off time was spent mapping the Colossal Cave...

San Diego had a computer science magnet - affiliated with UCSD. I got to toggle boot register on the DEC in the day.
