Is there a movement to take away legal personhood from corporations? Sign me up. At least they should be subject to the same conditions as real people, e.g., incarceration (or death penalty) for crimes.
Equation 6 is wrong. Instead of -2/P2P3P4 it should be -6/P2P3P4 (etc.) Also, with so many terms, all the `residues' that were neglected could add up to something significant
One guess is that his proof assumed that the algebraic integers had unique factorization into primes. (Algebraic ntegers=roots of polynomials with integer coefficients where the highest power term has coefficient 1.) They don't. Kummer &(actually vs.) Dedekind worked out their properties & then Emma Noether and others generalized their work and created a big part of modern algebra.
Probably this is why Fermat's conjecture was not on the `unapproachable' list.
If you want to do something new, isn't it easiest to build it on Unix? Maybe you have to wait for hardware improvements to make it practical (like X-windows did).
Unix will be around longer than Moore's law.
If, say, security requirements made all the current popular OS's unsatisfactory, the replacement would probably have POSIX compatiblity layer (as was already said) and might even be built on some kind of *nix, especially if we can include GNU/Hurd.
Even after Unix dies, there will be a *sh prompt with all those familiar utilities.

And that's also the reason closed-source software doesn't work.
To sum up:
1st lots of clueless users
2nd clueless software companies with a lot of sales
3rd viruses

Before the raid they were planning to put out a new version of Triplanetary. They got distracted. I still miss it.
