Installing all those plugins and allowing all those applets would be a violation of numerous security policies at many companies and other organizations, and also a violation of many people's personal policy for what they'll allow on their computer (to avoid malware, privacy loss, data loss and corruption, etc.)
And of course, it breaks the fundamental standards-based interoperability of the web and Internet. Had that been the norm, the Internet would not have grown to be anywhere near its current size and influence.
TCP/IP, HTTP and HTML being open made the Internet what it is. Not Al Gore (or Bush or any politician or company).
Maxwell was a genius too, his original quaternion equations allowed for scalar waves, and the unification of electromagnetism and gravity, and even possibly temporal manipulation and overunity/free energy/energy from the vacuum.
Oliver Heaviside simplified his equations using vectors, which removed the scalar part and destroyed its ability to explain unconventional phenomina and allow for the above technologies.
And if you think about the halt system call there is a race condition.
Doing sync, then halt allows other things to happen between those two calls.
Unless Linux has a halt syscall that can take an argument to tell it to sync. (and does the right thing, by stopping tasks from running, then sync, then halt)
Actually when power drops the "power good" line from the power supply goes low, which causes a system reset and locks everything up.
This is also how the computer knows how long to keep the reset line engaged on startup, it stays asserted until the power supply says the power is good, and everything has proper voltage.
Would it be better to have them rob you instead, which costs you, then they go to jail, which is paid for by taxes, which costs you, instead of them getting a leg up and finally being able to get a job (which would be easier if the government was committed to minimizing unemployment) - so you lose yet again, since the taxes they don't pay are made up for by raising the rates of everyone else, which costs you again.
You lose 3 ways even from a self-interest perspective - not even counting the human cost and our responsibility to help those in need.
Uh, sure, but if there's one thing (other than his guilt) we've learned from this it's that Hans Reiser isn't nearly as smart and clever as he thinks he is.
We knew that from the quality of his programming. Look at ReiserFS.

Laser light stays focused and avoids it, why not coherent radio waves?
(also scalar waves stay focussed).
Power lines and cell phones cause cancer, blah, blah, what doesn't cause cancer these days?
Hell in California they should stamp their cancer warning on people, since people emit radiation too.

It's already happening.
With the weakening dollar, more and more items are being made in the USA now and we are importing less.
Just take a look at things you buy, you'll see more "made in USA" than in a long time.
Too bad we didn't use your technology in New Orleans.
Doesn't matter as much for cars, since there usually is a big flow restriction at the throttle (*), unlike diesels which lack one.
* although in Las Vegas, it seems a lot of people are driving with their foot to the floor, which eliminates that issue. ;)
People have 2 kidneys.
(usually)
6 pounds?!
You can be under 6 pounds at birth and still be normal.
(under 5.5 pounds is considered underweight)
Guess you never heard about the Great Depression in the 1930's then.
Social Security was formed to help fix/prevent that from happening again.
No, you just put a web server there and post a link to it on Slashdot, and you'll have all the heat you need.
Great, they found water on Mars.
Now we just need to find some in Lake Mead!
(for those not in the US desert southwest, the lake is very low and is predicted to be likely to be empty in 13 years)
That's not a system call.
And if you think about the halt system call there is a race condition.
Doing sync, then halt allows other things to happen between those two calls.
Unless Linux has a halt syscall that can take an argument to tell it to sync. (and does the right thing, by stopping tasks from running, then sync, then halt)
So, having a special system call which disables task switching and doing that, and then sync would stop those issues.
If you are running MySQL, you don't care about data integrity anyway.
Actually when power drops the "power good" line from the power supply goes low, which causes a system reset and locks everything up.

A alimmed down version of MySQL?
Isn't that called Berkeley DB?

I don't know when everyone in this country got the idea that they are entitled to a bunch of services instead of working hard for them.
Perhaps when getting a job became nearly impossible!
at least he didn't kill anyone! :)
XML tags are lowercase.
If they pass enough new laws, that is exactly what they will be doing.

From what I've heard, his quality as a programmer and as a human being are about equal.
Reiser's filesystem kills your files, while he kills people.
Geez, is he the geek's OJ or something?
Yeah, he could write some killer applications!
