"C compiler writer may never know how printf looks like"
But there's more to a language than the syntax and grammar. The compiler writer may not know about the preprocessor, but it too is a part of the language, according to Kernighan and Ritchie anyway.
1. I know that and never stated otherwise. 2. It *is* a part of "the language". The fact that printf is a function rather than an operator doesn't matter. 3. Whatever subset of ANSI C you happen to use is irrelevant.
Joe needs an empty partition to install Linux. ISO and fat based distros aren't good enough, are they? Resizing the fs and repartitioning is possible, but risky.
As far as I know, Windows OEM licensing doesn't allow the machine to be sold as dual boot. I wonder if it's legit to sell machines with an empty partition and a preconfigured Linux image on cds.
PC hard drives are becomming more pluggable, so it would be nice to see some retail hd pkgs with "Linux inside" stickers on them.
Wake up and smell the bitstream. The specialization here is that Philips targeted a specific OS rather than more ubiquitous technology. To use your analogy, it's like filling the atmosphere with M$ium and only people who run MSWindows can convert it into oxygen.
"I really have no simpathy to rants like these because they are completely illogical."
Simpathy? What's that Mr. Data, your emotion simulation module? Well it seems to be malfunctioning. The very quote you chose includes the phrase "for a non-Windows user". In other words, it *only* applies to several million people, and a large percentage of this forum.
If you had any real sympathy, you would realize that it's a valid complaint, not a rant.
IMO, what MPlayer needs most is a good mozilla plugin. I've tried plugger and a couple other "glue layers" without much success.
A plugin that didn't embed, or attempt to manage the player, but simply cut thru the layers of http and rtsp redirection and spit out an actual URL to the stream would be a big help.
Adam Less predicted that transistor size would be cut in half every 12 months. Intel's marketing people didn't like the negative connotations of "Less" and "half" so they changed it to "Moore" and "double".
"however I would still want heirarchy as the primary storage"
It's hard to let go, isn't it? I used to agree with you vehemently, but I'm now convinced that it really doesn't matter. Why do want the primary key to be one which is "often poorly named"?
Good metadata is a necessity, but generally the "whats?", "whens?" and "whos?" are more important than the "wheres?".

Stdlib is a required part of ANSI C (circa 1990) regardless of which platform it runs on.

You fall down just looking at it.
I hope you use genuine Winchester ammo.

To be able to stay in front of the trucks
60MPH sounds like a reasonable top speed, up a 50% grade!

Unless you are Steven Wright, in which case your house starts up and you drive it around awhile.
You are very wise. No wait, that's completely moronic.
"Let's use Microsoft's money to fund their competetion."
Alas, they are all gone. It's like when Burgess Meredith broke his glasses on the stairs to the library(Twilight Zone reference).
The bytes were only 7 bits. The drive was introduced in 1956.
IBM started moving to 8 bit bytes later that same year, and the word "byte" was also coined that year, at IBM.

Does anyone have a good solution for this?

The name Gordon Moore is made up.

Believe it or not.
Is there anyone out there who really expected their *handshake* to mean something?
