Wow, guess mother earth must have cut them a deal.
But consider the Beverly Hill Billies, all it took for them was a single bullet.
The point should be clear. The cost of producing a barrel of oil is a man made amount. Much like the cost of producing any product. Thats is why technology created in the US often goes into production in another country with cheaper labor.
On a more interesting note, it turns out the the price of High Fructose Corn Syrup is going up and as it does food producers are looking for sweetener alternatives to use. Hinze for example is working on producing a sweeter tomato (without genetic engineering but by natural means) to replace the HFCS in ketchup
Here's the thing:
HFCS has been proven to raise triglycerides by as much as 1/3. I myself have lost 30 lbs by nothing more than removing it from my diet. So its really not good for the human body.
The reasons food manufactures use it, besides it having been a cheap sweetener is that it suppresses the sensors that tell you, you are full, causing you to eat more which the food manufactures like, as they sell more food that way.
The reason HFCS is going up in price is because corn is becoming very popular in the production of alternative fuels. This of course includes HFCS.
Oddly enough this fuel interest in corn is causing less corn to be used in feeding 3 world countries. Contributing to world hungar.
But overall it seems its better to use less pollutant fuels and for people to eat better by not eating HFCS contaminated foods.
Also as the price of petroleum based fuel goes up, the more financially likely that alternative fuels will be used more. And as the use of such alternative fuels increases the cost or price of it will likely go down due mass large scale production.
And to think, there was a time when the US government paid farmers to NOT grow crops in order to keep a cost to produce and sale price in check.
Just think, all those farmers that went out of business could go back in and grow corn.
As a final note: potash stocks (companies that mine it see: POT on the stock exchange) - are good investments

The reduction in complexity achieved by using message passing (as opposed to a shared memory environment using locks) was undeniable.

Unfortunately many kernel systems, such as the network stack, need to be modified to take advantage of this potential, since they are still encumbered by a legacy "Big Giant Lock". In this project I will remove the MP lock in important areas of the kernel that have a direct affect on the performance of popular programs such as PostgreSQL.

RFC3542 support
* Dashu Huang, mentored by Hasso Tepper
* The standard application program interface (API) for TCP/IP applications is the "sockets" interface. Although this API was developed for Unix in the early 1980s, it has also been implemented on DragonFly BSD with support for IPv6 applications. Today, to fit new demands, the API standard that support IPv6 applications has experience some changes from RFC2292 to RFC3542. However, the DragonFly BSD operating system now only support RFC2292, and it don't support RFC3542 advanced sockets API, to make it catch up the change, we need to make it support RFC3542. To make DragonFly BSD support RFC3542. My work will research the codes of current IPv6 stack in DragonFly BSD and understand how it works. At the same time, I should understand some related RFC, and how other BSD's such as FreeBSD, openBSD, merged RFC3542. Through this way, I can figure out which part of the old IPv6 stack should be improved. Finally,I will update the old IPv6 stack to make it support RFC3542.

Proportional share userland scheduling algorithm

* Proportional share algorithms like lottery scheduling, Stride scheduling algorithm guarantee proportional share of resources like (CPU) to a processes as per their requirement stated specified during the start. The traditional schedulers achieve fairness or resource allocation by adjusting priority, but the effect is observed over a long term. But instead in case of proportional share schedulers we observe the fairness of allocation over a bounded period of time when we adjust the requirement of resources dynamically.

If so then perhaps what DragonFlyBSD (the BSD could be dropped at this time - as its only relevant to history line) is doing to remove it can be helpful to removing it in Linux.
...of why traffic is so damn slow, everyone is distracted.
Its must be like a domino effect, one person gets distracted via cell phone and a few others get distracted by the stupid pointless slowdown of the first on a cell phone, so they call traffic advisory... etc... or someone pulls off to the side of the road and causes the same domino effect. And then there are the instigators who have a bumper sticker that reads "I slow for tailgaters",,, uh like this is rush hour city traffic.....
...imagine ten years from now what the computers are going to be like and the price on them.
Imagine paying more for one of these low cost computers running windowsXP than you will in buying something more powerful and for a price half of what you'd pay for one of these. Technology advancement is not going to stop, nor is the power increase of computer technology. Yet the constraints MS is trying to apply is not designed with such industry advancement in mind, but rather trying to get better in on a market today, and thats all.
Still its less expensive to use Linux and even customize it to run efficiently on even lessor products today.
At what point in advancement will the low cost laptop computer be more powerful then system in use today? Like didn't that happen yesterday considering computer or 3 years ago and longer, are still being used and they cost a lot more then?
Ultimately this is clearly user constraining MS thinking. Not really something from reality.
First you start with manipulating the world stock market and you proceed with draining southeast Asia, including 88% Muslim populated Indonesia. you have put together a deal that requires investors to put in 1 billion just to get in and they have to stay in for 3 years.
Once you start having a very draining effect on the south east Asia economy and persistently ignore any effort of communication on those you are draining from and finally get a sign that you have drained them as much as you can via formula comming up wrong persistantly, and then offered them interest bearing loans thru the world bank whioch only pissed them off more.....and they make one attempt to take down the WTC but fail...
You have managed to set up the "loopy conspiracy"
Of course there are American investor losers in the deal too, such as enron worldcom and some califorina power company....etc...and this helps take suspicion off of your conspiracy motives. But you then buy the WTC with its asbestos sickness and insure it from terrorist attacks for way more then you are paying for it. And as you proceed to remove the deteriorating asbestos you also plant demolition explosives in the main shaft. As you know that there will be another attack, as the NSA has told you and its agreed upon to have the military not available during this inevitable attack. To of course let it happen.
Of course the SEC is investigating the dealing of this world stock market manipulation deal and ironically have the documentation under investigation in building seven. So the attack happens and damages some building worse than others but the worse continue to stand where the less damaged building seven was evacuated and intentionally taken down.
In summary and in full support of your "loopy conspiracy theory" It really was all about destroying some paperwork. And of course the paperwork had to first be created. So it wasn't about a trillion dollars or draining south east asia economically or even about indonesia being by CIA reports 88% Muslim, but all about distroying some paperwork. For the sake of creating a "loopy conspiracy"
But that doesn't explain why the pentagon was hit and what some think was also a target "The White house"
There is no way it could all be based upon human greed, simple human greed.
I suppose the anthrax was a much bigger conspiracy, as it certainly couldn't have been done by some one person with enough authority and knowledge to access the anthrax store without being questioned and do this themselves. One person doesn't qualify as a conspiracy, but any fool could easily guess how the political parties would respond to this. But that doesn't support conspiracy theories, certainly not your loopy one.
There is no way it could possible be a retaliation of a wrongful world stock market manipulation that would backed by politically controlled military where our own NSA knew enough to assist by not doing anything to circumvent it. Greed figures out how to make a profit in loss they know will happen.
As a counter to terrorism.... knowledge begets knowledge and specific knowledge begets its own with tunnel vision
What the World Wants and from this we can pretty much knopw that its some fraction of a percent of the population on this planet that are in positions of abusing the rest of us with positions of power and dishonest use of that power.
But if its just a human created abstraction set created for communication as most all other human created abstractions are for, then the copyright has long expired.
Ultimately literate programming is a matter of translation. When you boil it all down to what the machine understands, it comes out binary.
To achieve the literate programming goal its clear there needs to be a programming language designed for it and a translator, be it a compiler or interpreter, that can take the results and convert it to machine understandable binary that runs as intended by the programmer/writer.
... There was a time when hardware resources were limited and expensive and programmers programmed accordingly and software was faster and easier to use in ways it is no longer easy.
Granted applications have become more integrated thru the operating system improvements but as technology and its use changes from the mainframe to the cell phone, the cycle of programming should be moving from the packrat (use all the memory and resources you can in your application) back to compactness of providing the right functionality only.
Where does this put Ballmers statement?
He is in essence saying MS will remain stupidly behind the times while claiming to be the forefront.
As the user base becomes more and more adapted to computing in a second nature manner, the more and more the user base will perceive the obvious babel of MS and as such move to alternatives for which third party commercial development will not be able to ignore and stay in business.
And we all know from experience that this is not going to happen over night but more at the rate of evolution via human generations, where each generation will put up with the babel less and less.

The break from BSD is in regards to code resemblance. The code of DragonFly has changed enough that it doesn't resemble BSD so much anymore.
