What happened to "No taxation without representation"? A teacher once tried to tell me our parents' votes represented our interests... I don't buy that.
People under 18 should not be taxed. I once bought something from a guy who made a point of saying "The government expects me to make you give me another 6% of the price of that. I won't do it. I won't let you give me that money. I will pay it out of my pocket." --
In NC (where I am) I don't think we had 6, but still, I am up to speed on most of the candidates.
And uhh, why should I mention all of them if I wanted to vote for Nader? I was saying the republicrats were the same, as part of my thought about being pissed with current election, sorry if it came off wrong. /jm --
So basically you're trying to ride a first post. You're an idiot, and are trying to say your opinion is more important than anyone else's. I think maybe you should get -1 for Offtopic of Repetative. Your comment still shows, in the place it should be in. It just isn't riding on post #1 now. Well it is, but Post #1 is not visible, because James is a moron. --
That sickens me a lot. So I _DON'T_ pay taxes a lot of the time. I barter. Ok, I'll set up that Win2k server for you, but I want to host my Sun here, and I want that unused 4.3GB disk, and lunch. It's better that way. --
I didn't vote because I'm not 18 yet. If I could have voted, I would have voted for Nader. My experiences with the elections and our system of government have been very sickening though, throughout this whole election. Seems to me every years voters have fewer reasons to turn out, because the republicrats are so sickeningly the same. --

Mach4... right... discontinued in 1996. xMach is the only project seeking to continue Mach development as Mach... MikaOS was promising, and they were very friendly to us... But I don't forsee a Mach5 in the near future. Though we are considering after our first release changing major version to Mach 5 for the kernel part. --
I've long been a subscriber to DDJ. It's really good to see them covering microkernels. With projects like my own, xMach using a similar basis (Mach4 and a single server) it makes for a good read.
And I'd like to say to all the Linux people here who will say how great Linux is and how great monoliths must be - Linus used to praise AST for making Minix a microkernel. He used to say he wished he had made Linux a microkernel. For some reason, when he got famus and had to back Linux 100% of the time, AST was a moron for making Minix a microkernel, and monolithic kernels rocked his nads!!!
Linus loves flip flops!

Watch Kurt Vonnegut's "Welcome to the Monkey House" failed series. In the version of Fortitude, a NeXT Cube is describe as a "supercomputer". And check out Mission Impossible (1st movie): The OS being used is a OPENSTEP/NEXTSTEP/MacOS hybrid. Graphic designers take inspiration from what they use. Graphic designers design tekn0-leet interfaces for hacker type shows. You can tell some dude took a WindowMaker snapshot and made it look k3wl. See the GNUStep logo? --
Where do you get that Ani Difranco isn't a thinker? Because she's not a tech-geek? Ok, let's ask Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode then, mmkay? Who says lyricists aren't thinkers? Would you argue Bob Dylan and John Lennon could not have ever been thinkers because they were lyricists? --
Too bad Nader couldn't take time to respond. I think Slash should interview a past 3rd party candidate - ask 'em what kind of politics you play when you know you can't win. Not 'cause they're bad... Just the general non-thinking brainwashed public... When the Eco-Geeks are voting, we'll see some change (*pray*). Well anyway I mean, c'mon, do they just be honest knowing it can't hurt, or do they try to look poor and abused by the big dogs (not that that is not true)? I like the Libertarian party, but think we need to try and get some of the political-activist fake celebrities out here make them state their views, not which candidate they're gonna promote to look cool. And let's ask the thinker-Celebrities. I want Stephen Hawking, Ani Difranco, and Steve Jobs' views on politics and the elections. And will someone PLEASE tell me why Rolling Stone is subjecting us to Al Gore's giant peepee!?

shit i didnt change my sig yet. heh. we had umm severe server troubles... i.e. IDE controller failure on a machine out of warranty. the site was being redirected to our colocation anyways -- a nice fast site as opposed to our DSL cnx hehe... www.smegsite.com/xmach
I wish it was so simple to do anything so core to any OS. My goddess!, the hassles we've had with xMach (www.smegsite.com/xmach) in the past weeks. Writing or rewriting anything so complex, and indeed merging two seperate bodies, written by different programmers, even, in different styles, is insanely difficult. Imagine taking all those pretty Toolbox calls and all the BSD API stuff and merging them. They're gonna end up like IRIX -- applications bitching over which libraries to use -- if they aren't careful. From past experience with OPENSTEP, and the similarities (shared roots) to it, I'd say it will probably be done pretty well, in the end. It's doing not too bad right now, as it is.
haha... I think they should use a Pie actually. Outside is the well baked MacOS crust all the users want and inside is that smoove BSD flava. Well OPENSTEP flava too. It's like a strawberry rhubarb pie. Someone pie Bill G. with that one.
Who would win though? My bet is that Bill Gates would parachute in and smack everyone around with big wads of cash. Hrm... maybe not. The real question is: Tux vs. The BSD Daemons vs. The Atheos parrot vs. The Windows Window.
Good point. I dunno why the government cares so much about beefing up the existing laws. When you think about it -- people who have something covered under intellectual property law and DMCA comes around, now their property is 'protected' in a way they never wanted. If DMCA applies on/to all software, it makes these big monopolies they _say_ they want broken up into goliaths in a world of davids. And of course more copies of software _have_ to be sold, as the companies can require this, and the government makes money off various taxes. You ever wonder if there wasn't some underlying theme? Oh... that's right... money.
