Sorry, once the government has adopted something you can't get rid of it. You can change it for better or worse (usually worse) but it is there for ever.
There is a shape made up of four squares arranged 3 on one side and one sticking out to the left at the bottom. The next shape after this is four squares arranged in a two by two square.

yea both totalitarian and communistic ideals are tough. Whether the government is forcing you through physical force or your economic system is starvation you they both go together like pb&j.
At least with Capitalism you are free to tell the second to F-off and either go somewhere else or start your own thing. You are free to feed yourself.
"The catch is that coming up with such a layer is kind of tricky. That's probably why Sun didn't bother - they intended to only ever implement one filesystem using it, and had an interest in not making those extra features available in the other supported filesystems."
It's been over a year ago now, but I've done COW snapshots of Xen volumes useing LVM. basicly created a Xen volume and installed an OS on it and shut it down. Then I would take a COW snapshot of it and boot it for any further VMs that I needed of that OS. It worked great and saved a lot of space on my constrained little test environment.
Name one ground breaking improvement that has come from socialized health care. One new treatment? Anything at all that has advanced healthcare?
Other countries socialized healthcare (which doesn't work as rosy as you seem to paint it) is supported by our free market that makes the advances then they scrape for bottom dollar and return. Things like lower drug prices are government forced below free market values and USians get to pick up the tab.
"Generally, I think taxpayers want lower taxes for personal reasons, i.e. to keep more money for themselves."
And have a direct say in how the economy functions. Raising taxes has proven time and again that it makes for a weaker future. There is a sweet spot that has to be reached. The higher the tax burden the slower the economy, but if the tax burden isn't high enough then the government can't function. Even small government.
Do you think a 100% tax rate would make for a secure future?
"I'd like to increase taxes and have a government which respects and protects individual rights."
And I'd like a pony. There are two main corrupting forces that feed off each other. Power and Money. Government has one and you think giving them the other will help protect individual rights?
Science and the scientific method are nothing more than an additional set of tools to present an agenda. Just like statistics and facts.

You can live in the fantasy land that Scientist are altruistic and always do the right thing but you'd be no better than the die hard republicans or democrats, liberals or conservatives. All of which have a commitment to do the right thing and always portray the facts.
The problem with having some message passing setup is it complicates the startup. It becomes less easy to look at a directory and be able to have a pretty good idea of what's going on.
I'd rather have a more complicated setup utility that organizes your startup for you witch is then kept very simple.
As it is now you can check/etc/inittab and see what it's running then check that script and see what it's running (this is usually the script that calls the runlevel scripts) and know pretty easily everything your system does once it's out of the initrd.
That's kinda funny, I remember SCO got around it by making not just S and K startup/shutdown scripts but also P scripts (pthreaded) that when called by init were called with an & so while it started init could continue on. No special make technique or anything.
Unfortunately there was no way to determine and assign dependence, but that can be done manually. Or possibly a subsystem that organizes the numbers correctly.
All that sounds nice, but I still go by the fact that 1G of swap is more than you should ever use. Maybe not more than you need (640k is all you should ever need...)
I say it's all you should ever use because if you are using more then you need to upgrade RAM. Period. Anyone that tells you different is grasping at antiquated ideas of expensive memory and getting around buying more RAM by using swap. Even vendors like to request large amounts of swap space. I still never allocate more than 1G up front. Go ahead and try to get a technical reason for adding more swap. They'll give you something like, "Because the engineers say so." That usually shuts people up, but talk to those Engineers and they'll either tell you they say nothing of the sort or that they do it because they always have.
If you do get into a situation where your monitoring notifies you that your memory is nearly full (make sure your monitoring uses the +-buffers portion of the free commands output) and you are running low on swap you can always create a temporary swapfile to hold you off until your new RAM upgrade comes in. If you are planning to work from swap then you are putting extra load on your hard drives and IO subsystem and killing your overall performance.
The rule for swap:
1G swap partition. If it's used regularly upgrade RAM.
You don't just get a career, you have to build it. Work your way into a smaller companies helpdesk. Use your skills to get into some projects within the company. Do enough on the project that you can get it onto your resume. Use that to springboard yourself either within the company or into another company. It's never good to lie on your resume, but emphasis on things you've done in the past and would like to do more in the future helps a lot. If you're doing helpdesk support and want to be a Linux admin then you're resume could cover the Linux fileserver you threw together to solve a problem. If you know what you're doing and you've done it a lot either in your spare time or as side projects then make the small "official" work experiences seem more than it was.
Sometimes it's easier to find a new job then to get a promotion within your current one. Other times the opposite is the case. I use a 2 year cycle, if after two years I am not where I want to be making the money I want I spend the next year finding a new job.
Don't shy away from contract work. Don't be afraid to take a 3 or 6 month contract to get the experience. Even doing them several in a row. Companies doing that are usually desperate to fill a seat so they end up being much more forgivable for missing experience. Make sure they know you are motiviated and will be able to handle or find out how to handle anything they throw at you.
It's kinda funny watching things go in circles. First it was hardware built to run one specific app. Someone said lets build something so we can run multiple apps on general purpose hardware. So the Operating system was born. Now we want to run multiple operating systems on even more general purpose hardware.
Actually clipping beaks on food chickens would be a ridiculous waist of time. There is both no reason to and the care for the chickens isn't even that much. They are kept in very large, over crowded pens and food is dropped in on top of them until they reach slaughter weight. It would be more than cost prohibitive to individually go to each chicken and clip anything. They are just pushed to the slaughter house and inspected any that don't make it get tossed into the nuggets bucket.
Laying chickens on the other hand are clipped for their own safety. Otherwise they are kept in much more comfortable situations, feed well and attempted to be kept happy. The less stress on the hen the better and more productive they are.

I was going to reply to your post but your sig distracted me.
Wouldn't that be "free as in shoes" then?

My slashdot username came from my days playing AstroMUD. Ohh the good ole days.
perhaps you missed the "From the base of the room" He obviously meant 24" due to water damage.
Typically flooding doesn't do linear damage to basement walls, unless you just consider it 100% of the linear dry wall.

How about:
Sun could have made ZFS compatible with Linux.
They didn't do that. So obviously Sun choose to make ZFS incompatible with Linux.
"Are there really government folks wandering around with electromagnetic radiation detection equipment?"
Yes, I see their vans all the time. The play happy propaganda music and sell brain washing sweet treats to children as they drive around.
much better than the current platform of : free toys to the bad kids.
$700B worth of free toys to the bad kids.
Then it goes back to where it should have been. In the hands of the states.
