I have no real knowledge either, but could it deal with living in space and all that entails (ie. CO2 build-up, O2 generation, food, water, recycling, everything else necessary for long-term manned missions.).
If an app (Amiga's OE) needs to modify the Linux kernel to run, it must be distributed under the GPL. Remember the MOSIX flamefest? Device driver modules generally do not need to do this, and are therefore exempt. There are probably ways to get around this, ie. make a GPl'd/LGPL'd buffer between the kernel and the OE, or not even need to make kernel mods, or have those kernel mods become part of the main kernel distro, or something.
The GPL is like an STD. It doesn't transmit randomly to other hosts, only hosts who have/used/ part of another host. Virus can be killed via the immune system (lawyers, getting rid of the viral code). Dominant genes only get passed to future generations ~1/2 the time, and can also be gotten rid of via splicing/mutation.
When the South (States) revolted from the union, they got more than a bit of the union's military as well. The rebels just might have the pre-revolution rank of general, sergeant, admiral, etc..., along with the tanks and planes.
There would just be mulitple tiers to the community. The particular community we're all so fond of wouldn't disappear, it might just be overlooked by the business, home-user and media, no big deal.
Wrong. The vast majority of the ecosystem (greater than 90 percent of the biomass) are one-celled critters under our feet. The ocean also contains alot that we don't touch. If us humans destroyed the surface of the Earth, most living organisms wouldn't notice.
I accidentally hit "submit" instead of "reply". The ability to alter our lifespans, and every other factor of our existence, is also part of the natural order. What do you think makes species adapt and speciate? Outside pressure does, such as the pressure exerted by humans on other species. Well over 99 percent of the species that ever lived on this planet have gone extinct because of this natural selection process.
This is stupid. Every species I know of on this planet do not "instinctively" make an equilibrium, they reproduce alot. It is predator/prey cycles, and other various cycles, that keep the population in check. (ie. wolves reproduce, eat too many rabbits, rabbits now scarce, wolves die down, rabbits come back, wolves come back, wolves eat many rabbits, ad infinitum (until outside factors come in)).
Us humans are the same way, we just haven't reached an equilibrium state yet; at least not in many places. Our brains and technical capabilities give us the ability to keep on pushing the equilibrium farther. Things like this also happen when species are introduced into an environment in which they have no natural predators/plentiful prey; this is probably how the South American Marsupials went extinct (when S. America hooked up with N. America).
No you're not. But he seems to be considerably less full of himself than Gates or Jobs. At least he seems to be honest. Wouldn't you also say something similar if he was completely humble? It's probably a good compromise between being humble and egotistical.
That's what I'm talking about. the IA-64 will be Intel's next-gen of high-performance chips. It only seems logical that AMD would want to do the same thing.

If you'd read the *rest* of the post, you would have seen that they produced one in 1997.

Already been done. I don't have the link handy, but a person has done something even more impressive than this with a recumbent (2-3 computers IIRC).
How much power does it take to run a keyboard? Would this be enough to power the keyboard alone, making it self-sufficient?
I love it! If these things ever get wide-spread, I'm going to call out $1 million whenever I see someone use them.

What's that old DEC quote? Something along the lines that UNIX is for games and word processing, any serious work is for VMS?
In the magazines?
If the "innovation" in the original was meant to refer to a verb (the act of making an imac/imac-look-a-like), then the grammar was better.
The USA has more people, more money, and most importantly, more global influence than France currently does.
But where can I buy some French time?

I'm nauseated, and I don't have graphics!
It hasn't shown us to be unsuitable yet. It just might show that all the species that die because of our actions are unsuitable.

You still haven't stated why this is wrong.

It has to do with AMD competing with Intel for the high-end x86 market. In the near future, this would include a 64-bit chip.
I doubt AMD is going to be able to borrow Intel's specs for the new 64-bit architecture soon, at any rate.
