"However, the idea is not that two compilers spit out binaries that look alike. The idea is that, given a program, two compilers will spit out binaries that act alike. Two compiler binaries that act alike will put out mostly identical code given some source code. "
This is completely false, and in the final summation you are contradicting yourself trying to say that they won't look alike, but will act alike, which will mean they look alike.
You just repeated what I wrote in different words, and admitted you don't know that Karma means action (not words) to boot. There is no "-1 I don't like what was said or the way it was said" option.
I don't need to "rebut facts" because anyone with a clue knows that it is phenomenally ignorant and/or stupid to say that Microsoft never succeeded in using Embrace / Extend / Extinguish. Are you ignorant, a troll, or both, because those are the only options.
You know how to spot a troll a mile away on Slashdot? They post as AC but come back to follow up on the replies to their ridiculous drivel. I hope you don't think I wasted my time reading your follow-up drivel:^)
Slashdot "karma" means nothing. The days when it was an indication of one's standing as a contributor to Slashdot have long since past. If that is your idea of what Karma means you simply cement my point. I regularly have mod points, because I mod properly, and my Slashdot karma is only positive rather than excellent because I am in the minority in that respect these days.
One I know one is Thunderbird. It was a pain in the ass getting it to talk to all my email accounts on Windows. Multiple accounts on the same domain would try to use the SMTP server of the first account, along with that login name. I had to force create the account, then add an SMTP server, then go back and set the new broken account to work properly using the manually created SMTP server. I have never had this issue with the Linux version. I set up Thunderbird on a Linux system for the same accounts today and it "just worked." HTH!
If you want to list all the things you are unfamiliar with that make you particularly unqualified to speak intelligently on this subject you are going to need to instantiate an Azure instance to store them.
I know what you mean. Like today, for example, when I put Kali 2017.2 (a Debian derivative) on my ASUS T100-chi which has a Bluetooth docking touchpad and keyboard. In order to get my OS to support this non-standard tablet / bluetooth keyboard setup I had to create a file with 7 lines! (really only 3 were necessary, but I like blank lines for readability and a Description)
Are you hearing what I'm telling you? I had to create a file! It required 3 lines! And all I got out of it was automatic dependency management, the ability to use "enable" to add it as an automatic service, the ability to use "start", "stop", and "status", and an auto re-spawn if the daemon ever dies. It is a horror show I tell you!
How ELSE are they going to fly a drone into it on the same day a Mass court overruled an attempt at restricting them so that they can use the event as an argument for increased drone restrictions?
In order to make such a claim, or contradict such a claim, we would have to be able to define intelligence. Since nobody can define it, nobody knows if it is intelligence or not. You are the one splitting hairs.
No, that isn't "basically" what is going on at all. "Basically" the USA has become more and more flooded with systematically undereducated and miseducated proles like yourself who can't see the problems even when they are pointed out, and those people just shrug and say "What? Me Worry?" as the country rapidly declines. HTH (knowing it won't)

Neural Networks and Expert Systems are AI technologies.
The FTL spaceship is right in front of your eyes. Can't you see it?
So, in your mind, he isn't doing exactly that already?
This is completely false, and in the final summation you are contradicting yourself trying to say that they won't look alike, but will act alike, which will mean they look alike.
So you think the fact they have done so is a matter of opinion. Goodbye little troll.
I'm glad you agree your comment was bullshit. Good for you owning up to it!
You just repeated what I wrote in different words, and admitted you don't know that Karma means action (not words) to boot. There is no "-1 I don't like what was said or the way it was said" option.
No, but only because it isn't. You are talking about the wrong use of the word free. It means libre in this context, not gratis.

Off you go now little troll

No. It in fact could not possibly be that. VMs have been around since well before WSL.
You know nothing about the history of computing apparently.
Why would the US Army be the ones who are responsible for doing that? Answer: They aren't.
My Linux system can do line breaks though!
And I can use boldface rather than yelling, too! (Yes, you are an idiot)

That was a stellar way of showing that you have no idea what Karma means! Great Job!
No, he understands and you don't. One was literally charged accordingly to the number of CPU clock ticks your program required to run.

In order to make such a claim, or contradict such a claim, we would have to be able to define intelligence. Since nobody can define it, nobody knows if it is intelligence or not. You are the one splitting hairs.
It would be called SI if it was supposed to be ACTUAL intelligence. News flash: Artificial is not a synonym for synthetic.

I didn't read past the first line of your post, which made it perfectly clear you lack the capability to enter into an intelligent discussion.
