Last time I played with it, yes, the 2GB limit was still there.
Wheee, let's map our whole filesystem into virtual memory.;)
Then again, it's not that bad. Definitely not ready for production use, but not unusable either. Apparently the limitation is slated to be removed sometime. For comparison, have you seen the recommended partition sizes for OpenBSD?
It's not entirely bad for operating systems students to get their hands dirty with either. It does have some cool things going for it--though it does seem doubtful they'll ever get anywhere with it as a mainstream OS--for example: rather than using the traditional monolithic kernel, hurd uses a multi-server running on top of microkernel approach. So it is definitely neat and interesting for os geeks to play with.
"The Hurd, together with the GNU Mach microkernel, the GNU C Library and the other GNU and non-GNU programs in the GNU system, provide a rather complete and usable operating system today. It is not ready for production use, as there are still many bugs and missing features. However, it should be a good base for further development and non-critical application usage.
The GNU system (also called GNU/Hurd) is completely self-contained (you can compile all parts of it using GNU itself). You can run several instances of the Hurd in parallel, and debug even critical servers in one Hurd instance with gdb running on another Hurd instance. You can run the X window system, applications that use it, and advanced server applications like the Apache webserver.
On the negative side, the support for character devices (like sound cards) and other hardware is mostly missing. Although the POSIX interface is provided, some additional interfaces like POSIX shared memory or semaphores are still under development."
I.e. it might be fun to play with, but it's not very useful for the average Joe.
Where I come from that's a 69 with a fist up each ass, both partners' big toes up the nostrils of the other person, and three fingers in the vagina. Don't try it if you don't know yoga.
Shit, I made millions by learning php, xhtml, and building websites. I also got rock hard abs while doing this ubercool xhtml engineering. (Note: the X is for XTREME). Not to mention the fact that I am up to my neck in the finest pussy imaginable. You can do this too! To find out how, buy my book. Oh, and stop playing so many games, kids! Thanks! Peace out.
Indeed it does! But if you're that worried about people accessing your data, I would like to recommend using a testicle print instead. That way you can usually be sure of absolute privacy, unless you're like me and wear crotchless pants with no underwear.
I wonder why python isn't listed...this quote comes right off the python.org front page:
"Python has been an important part of Google since the beginning, and remains so as the system grows and evolves. Today dozens of Google engineers use Python, and we're looking for more people with skills in this language." said Peter Norvig, director of search quality at Google, Inc.

A ~2GB filesystem limit isn't unusable for a development OS (or even a production one).
Actually, no, I'm talking about recommended partition sizes. You know, like they say in the (latest) 3.5 release. For example, those mentioned here.
A ~2GB filesystem limit isn't unusable for a development OS (or even a development one) is all I'm saying.

A slimmed down PS/2 is still just a ps/2. The DS is a *new* system and the xbox never was popular in Japan.

Isn't there a penal code for something like that?
I'd rather pay nothing and get it somewhere else. Besides, with all that money I save I can go get a sack full of filet-o-fish sadwiches. Mmmm.
Punctuation: what is it? : Where did it come from? : This "high colonic" style :not better: different : as I say further: What the fuck ! ?
Sheesh!
Do you work at Boeing/IDS by chance?
Personally I think it should be .cum, as in, "during the dot cum bubble, layoffs were considered a good thing". It just has a nice ring to it.

Abdul, Mohammed, Mustafa Ali, greetings! The goat is roasted. I repeat, the goat is roasted. Run! Run like the great camel to tell Uncle.

I do. They're fucking ugly and overpriced. Wheee!
I wasn't trying to be funny at all. I was dead serious.
And to hell with karma.
Ah but you forget that once you've eaten it, you can have it again. Though it probably wouldn't look much like cake.

Transcending mediocrity?
Well, the 'power event' is still happening in St. Louis.
No, no, no... "Klingon"
Oh right. So it's run by TopCoder.com. Like that's supposed to mean anything.
P.S. Go fuck yourself.
