I produce and proof read quite a lot of technical documentation. The length of time is takes an application to start is nearly meaningless. I'll do that once in an 8-12 hour stint of work.
Metrics along the line of "repaginate a 2000 page document after increasing the generic font size by 1 point including custom headers and footers" would give a better idea of performance loss or gain against Micrsoft's offerings.
I'm always dismayed by the difference in rhetoric between when someone tries to take your average Slashdotter's percieved rights away, and when you try to take other people's rights ways - even if that person happens to be $BIGCO.
As one of the members of OSC, I can assure you that you're wrong. Becoming a member is simply a case of registering your interest and there is absolutely no financial commitment when doing so.
Hyperthreading is a neat hack, nothing more. It seems designed exclusively to fool non-techies into thinking that they have a 2 or 4 way system when in fact they have half the number of actual processors, and additional really crippled ones.
That combined with the price means my last purchase was a pair of dual opteron workstations.
The english plural of 'virus' is 'viruses'. Even if you were speaking Latin (which you're not) then the plural of 'vir' ('man') is 'viri', and not 'virii'.

Spam about asian donkeys is a new one on me, though.

I think Asshole and Bush would be a better start to the new naming system.
What's an "Opteron 3000+" ?
No serious admin uses genkerenel as anything other than a starting point

"No serious admin uses gentoo", I think you mean

Where we have "updatedb" and "locate". *grin*
A variation on the old "best hairdresser" postulate. Not seen that is quite some time, well done

Criminalising criminals is a dangerous game? This is your first trip to planet Earth, is it?
By definition only a government can censor.
I am aware of no OS that will go accross all platforms
Debian runs on at least 10 architectures. That'd do for a start, no?
I'm obviously being dumb, but how can we have a "legal" public torrent of something that's not actually been publically released yet?

Or, in other words, it needs package management.
apt
Production servers usually do not have a compiler available.
The 1980s called, they want their package management system back. ;)
Seems like some fairly sane policy from Redmond.

We've been doing it longer, too.
This article would be made more clear if I knew what, who or whom SBC and/or CWA were. Do they supply toiletries?
If so I can clearly see a public hygiene problem here, and you have my sympathy.
Okay, that was a minor troll, but throw us non-kerkins a bone, make the short informative enough to make the rest worth reading.
