11.04 Still includes gnome 2 as an option or compile one of it's forks. And hell, this is still Linux, if you disagree with a design choice of your distro you are free to reach in a change it, or go get a distro that better agrees with what your looking for. It could help for a more sane stable releases. Force any new features to sit in beta or alpha, and only merge when they are mature.
IIRC, wasn't there an earlier Polaroid film that had a layer you had to peel back after a certain amount of time?
Yes. In fact this was the case for quite a long time. I'm old enough to remember people using this sort of film.
Hell, I've used it in the past five years. Worked in a fairly small DNA lab, and they used that sort of film/camera to capture the results of a gel electrophoresis. Camera had a filter on it to only capture UV light. The B&W film provided a good contrast, any you could tally the results while the setup of the gel was still fresh in your brain.
Both PC_BSD and ubuntu use i686 optimizations, and not many programs utilize sse. (mainly just audio/video that i've found). Even so there is room for some optimization, especially with more minimalistic eviroments where you can pull things you don't use our via the use flags, and by cutomizing the kernel, and removing option that generally are only useful for debugging.
Alright there are millions or even billions to be made for system that can pass messages even a small fraction better than the competitors. This is why I'm sure it's 100% true.
It's stable and secure enough. If you absolutely need stability and and security go look at the microkernels (which have their own set of issues). Linux adopts more features and does it more quickly than anyone else, this of course comes because they are willing to break things if necessary, and if something is good enough to let it be.
The BSD, particularly focus on keeping stability, security, and backward compatibility, but it means that the pace of development is going to be slower and the approach to new features is going to be more conservative.
Nothing wrong with either choice, its just a matter of knowing the trade-offs and acting accordingly.
I believe CUPS is actually an example of a HAL. A single ppd file will let you drive that printer with any version of CUPS (mac, linux, freebsd, windows, whatever) (x86,x86_64, sparc, alpha, arm. mips, mipsel, PPC).
dbus provices some absraction, libkb quite a bit, Fuse as well. There are some abstraction layers available for linux systems, it's just that it's done though the user space rather than the kernel.
So why isn't BSD used on the stock exchanges? It simply can't pass messages as quickly.
In terms of stability, security, and backwards compatibility, the Unix'es may still be better, but in terms of raw performance and the pace of development Linux wins, and has been winning for a long time.
There is no one master copy, and most devs keep a local copy. Every file is checksummed, and the checksums are published, meaning it's pretty easy to tell weather a copy has been messed with.
If you can only afford a $25 dollar computer, then it's unlikely you'll have a wifi node and broadband in your home.
But you can share a usb modem (wireless, ethernet, or even a null modem) amoung a group of students.
Yes. It tells you that you can do anything you want to. If however certain actions are illegal to perform where you live/work/play/do business without permission of a "copyright holder", then you may perform them so long as let the next person in line perform them as well.
The person you sold it to can't sue you for copyright violations/ GPL violation. Only the copyright holder can, and in all honesty they have better things to do than worry about garage sale specials. Also as you mentioned distributing software involves making a copy. If you aren't the one who made the copy, not problems.
They have a kernel. There's still a lot of work to be done on the userspace servers. (But so far not any worse than any other micro kernel really) You can get X up and running.
It's true. Everything is a linked list of which you have the car and cdr. The car is a pointer pointed at some data structure or at some procedure, the cdr points to either another list or is nil. There is absolutely no deviation from this scheme in scheme.
My grandmother's house was wired by an unlicensed electrician (40 years after it was built) as well as half the other houses in the area. None of them have burnt down because of it (at least compared to the standards of the era). Seems like he used a hand drill for the holes through he stud, because they were all at different angles and hellacious to pull out.. Pulled some of it out last spring, and added three extra circuits the the kitchen. (before there was only one and the breaker would trip whenever she tried to cook for thanksgiving/ Christmas.
the local authority is going to control what you plug in to any given 15 amp socket.
Actually a combination of Underwriters Laboratories, and a slew of manufacturer liability laws make sure what you plug into a 15 Amp circuit (along with local codes that require things like a 15 amp fuse for a 12ga wire carrying 120 volts). You can certainly solder up some sort of death machine for yourself, but unless you're an expert, it's best just to leave it well enough alone. Also don't expect your fire insurance to pay for the damage you do with the device. You shouldn't have to jailbreak, but rather a dev mode should be available for people who have some interest in managing thier own machines (Just don't expect software support, and don't complain if your device is less secure as a result).
Doubt it, or at least they would lose their UNIX certification if they did. What I could see is one version Unix certified, and another more locked down so they could subsidize some of the hardware cost.
There isn't even a dichotomy in my OP, much less a false one. There is however an unstated assumption or Implied or Hidden Premise that easy access to python is better than not having easy access all other things being equal. It's not exactly a formal fallacy, but would be bad form it I were submitting the OP to a philosophical journal rather than Slashdot. This being/. I think many or most people could figure out the assumption and would even agree. Even if they don't agree the availibility of compiled python variants in VS doesn't make VS any less usable for them.
Routers, unlike servers don't originate traffic of their own. Plus universities generally keep logs, whereas home routers dont, unless you happen to get there quick enough to pull the dhcp tables before they expire. In addition, when I was at uni, every computer connected was assigned an actual ip4 address rather than a subnet one) home routers don't. But anyways the standard of proof for a search warrant is different. It's not even a more probable than not standard, but just some sort of reasonable suspicion. In a uni with 2500+ students sharing a vpn or nat, it's probably not reasonable to believe any given computer was responsible, in a home enviroment of a dozen devices or less, it probably is reasonable.
Crypto algorithms are often done in assembly, just not for performance, but to make sure the math is absolutely correct as well. Otherwise you probably need a lot of flags and extra code to gaurantee the compiler doesn't optimize in a way that can compromise the encryption. Also there are quite a few people who know the profile of crypto algorithms inside and out and thus how to use every bit of power availible int he CPU.. How many people know a window management or the SDL library in quite the same way?
But on the other hand, if you're already locked in for whatever reason, I don't think its a bad thing to have access to such a versatile and portable language such as python.

The describe it (IL2CPU) here http://cosmos.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Technology&referringTitle=Home , but I'm not sure it it's available as a seperate package.
The have a compiler that makes machine code from the intermediate language representation.
This is 100% false.

Actually it can. Say you secured a software patent and released an implementation under a BSD license.
Yes. It tells you that you can do anything you want to. If however certain actions are illegal to perform where you live/work/play/do business without permission of a "copyright holder", then you may perform them so long as let the next person in line perform them as well.

It's more than half water. Coverting 100 pounds of cellulose into 95 pounds of sugars is an amazing feat.

Probably just a matter of adding a udisk policy.

Check out HD tracks. DRM free, most titles have 88 or 96kHz 24 bit FLAC files availible (some 192/24 are availible), DRM free.
