Seriously. This OS is going to be bloated horse shit. We all know it. Even the people who were interested in Whistler know this is horseshit. And of course MICROS~1 is going to dump support for their old OSes. So where are users and developers going to go? Simple.
Hmm. Studying the first image, it appears that the supposedly "stolen" code from SysV put into Linux is commented out. The code is uncommented in the Linux source.
I think we're being duped. This is just a card trick. They took the code from Linux, commented it out so it would have no effect, and slapped it in SysV.
There is no such thing as Asperger's Syndrome "residue". Asperger's Syndrome does not go away. Asperger's Syndrome is a part of the way your brain is constructed. Asperger's Syndrome is who you are.
An Aspie and Asperger's Syndrome are inseperable. There is no such thing as a cure for autism, and what the parents who want to "cure" it really want are to have children who are normal. The parents really just wish they had different kids. Bastards.
If you suffered from it, more than likely you would know it by now.
Wrong. Very, very wrong. I was thrown through many incorrect diagnoses before I was dxed Asperger's. People with Asperger's are obviously different, but many and many of them are never diagnosed. Many adults with Asperger's do not know they have it.
This is a long way of saying that if you are living a relaticely healthy life right now, you are not going to be diagnosed as sufferring from "Asperger's Syndrome".
Untrue. Many adults living a perfectly healthy life are still abnormal, and are "suffering" from AS.
If you were having actual socialization problems on the level of Asperger's, you would have seeked out professional help a long time ago.
Once again, wrong.
I also take issue with your repeated allegation that people "suffer" from AS. Personally, I am proud of my AS, and I do not want to be normal.
As the author of one of the writeups in the Asperger's syndrome node at E2 (look at my email and guess which one), I scored a 42.
Going through school was hell, and forced me to learn about how normal people actually work. Like you have, I know when someone's lying through their teeth. Not being able to naturally (dontcha love split infinitives?) "read" people, I learned that skill the hard way, through much trial and error, against my own will.
I've had strong interests. My special interests right now are computers and roads (roadgeeking: take a look at Gribble Nation some time). My first "obsession" was vacuum cleaners. I had to go to the janitor store every Sunday to look in the window at the vacuum cleaners. My fourth birthday cake had a Hoover on it. My next special interest was dead-ends. My dad and grandpa drove me all over town hunting out all the dead-ends. This gave way, naturally, to roadgeeking. When my grandpa got a computer (Pentium MMX 166) in April '97, when I was in fifth grade, I quickly learned everything about that machine, and became a computer nerd.
In my eyes, Asperger's is definitely not a bad thing. In fact, I'm proud I have Asperger's, and I don't want to be normal. You might be interested in this website:
I'm not that social in real life, but I've found myself to be VERY social on the Internet. The same thing goes for the telephone.
I've always found it hard to talk to my peers in the real world, but I've found a great abstraction method that takes away the face-to-face elements of conversation that greatly reduces my nervousness and shyness: the telephone. When I talk on the phone with someone my age (especially a girl), it's always MUCH easier to converse, and thus I have much better conversations on the phone. However, once I have gotten to be good friends, face-to-face conversation comes easy, and is fun.
I suppose the Internet is some sort of abstraction mechanism which brings out Aspies from their shells.
But one more thing must be mentioned. Social deficits when talking to neurotypicals never occur when talking to other Aspies. We Aspies can carry on a huge conversation like normal people when we're with our own kind. And yes, we have a good time. For some reason, Aspies talk to Aspies like neurotypicals talk to neurotypicals. The only reason my friends and I went to social skills group for years was the friendship thing.
And if this post doesn't seem lucid, it's because I drank a particularly strong cup of coffee last night at 11:45 and woke up with a foggy head and a headache.
Asperger's is definitely something you can work through. However, it isn't about "controlling Asperger's." What it is is simple:
Pretending to be neurotypical.
The thing about Asperger's is that quite a lot of us, never truly understanding them neurotypical (Aspie-speak for 'normal'), learn how to bullshit our way through everyday life by emulating neurotypicals. Many young and impressionable Aspies have taken or are currently in social skills classes. I had for about 8 years. The benefits of social skills classes are, well, social skills, and more importantly (*cough*) a bunch of Aspie friends. I have a ton of friends also with Asperger's Syndrome thanks to social skills group. However, I left social skills group this year because I didn't have enough time for it since I became involved in the school plays.
Which brings me to the next thing. Yep, I'm an actor. An autistic actor. No matter how much you think that totally is not at all possible and totally completely oh-mi-god impossible, quite a few Aspies out there are in plays. Granted, I'm not that great of an actor....but.... still. My acting is kinda solid, not that vivid, but I'm better than some of the other chums there, who are neurotypical. So yep, I've been a husband over the years, kind of a deadbeat, but I still acted my part. However, I was also Professor Willard in Our Town.
Oh yeah, and did I mention that Aspies tend to go off on tangents?
iSCSI will be an important leap into the future of technology!!!!1
I mean, seriously! Who gives a rat's buttocks about low latency and high performance and sanity? I mean seriously? Who cares about the praciticality and usefulness and overall sanity?
I mean, Jesus Tap-dancing Christ. Jump on the bandwagon already! It's all about eInternet now. iTCP/IP. eHTTP. eE-mail. Who cares about design grounded in reality anymore? These days, it's all about XML and TCP/IP and Web Services? Jump on the BANDWAGON! Everything should be implemented in XML: it's a rule! The SCSI protocol is hopelessly outdated, since it doesn't use the latest advancements in XML, TCP/IP, ADO.NET, ASP.NET, SOAP and web services.
I mean, you've GOT TO BE INSANE if you aren't smart enough to get in with the technology!
Just when I thought that the United States was starting to fall into an unabortable tailspin to a fascist's wet dream, I see this article and my faith in the American Way has been restored.
Not totally restored, mind you. That will happen when King George II is dethroned. But this is a very good thing for all those out there who still believe in democratic/republican Constitutional American government.

But oh, the Sons of Liberty were into property terrorism rather than civillian terrorism. Sure, some of our colonial heroes were somewhat like terrorists, we didn't sail to Britain and plant bombs under their horses, did we?
But that in mind, it is kinda ironic that the U.S. Government* would denounce some of the dissenting or rebellious groups nowadays. Maybe our Fuhrer^H^H^H^H^H^HPresident, President G. Dubyuh Bush, may be an idiot (he is), and our government may be almost totally corrupt (it is), but we waged an honorable war.
You sir, are an anti-American pussy. What are you, an idiot? No, foreign terrorism against civilians is NOT a rebellion. YUO AER A DUMB FAGOT! We had an honest cause to rebel. You're just an asswipe. What is "wrt" you, dumbass? * For sale, bids welcome
Now here's the difference. A 427 Cobra roadster is a physical object. An MP3 file is a virtual arrangement of already-existing magnetic charges (or something). The space occupying an MP3 file I might download next week is already there. I am just changing the magnetic charges on this pre-existing space to re-construct the data of an MP3. This does not cost money or hold any value in the traditional sense. That's because this data simply does not exist as a physical entity. I am not stealing from anyone. I am copying and duplicating a set of data I am retrieving from another computer and rearranging bits on my hard drive to resemble this data.
Now however, if I were to steal a 427 Cobra roadster, I would be taking a physical object from someone else. I would not be duplicating it using already existing matter, I would be literally taking this physical object. This is not a virtual arrangement and pattern of bits. This is an actual physical object, made out of metal, rubber, paint, oil, upholstery, seat belts, etc. I am not duplicating it by already-existing resources. I am taking some schmo's car. He doesn't have a copy of it. It's gone. Bye bye.
It is a sad thing for someone to seriously equate stealing a very expensive car to duplicating a virtual arrangement or pattern of bits.

And I thought my school district was turning out imbeciles...
Yep, you've got Asperger's all right.
As a fellow Aspie, I can tell these things.
It's kinda like gaydar, but with autism.

The Institute for the Study of the Neurologically Typical is a good website mocking the tone used by people like you. I encourage all autistics, Aspies, and people who think they might be autistic to take a look at it.
