I do not quite agree with you but as you answered me a friendly way, there's no reason I should not follow your trend;)
zila was a network thread distribution utility. it was impressive to see huge properly coded apps' load distributed among a network... a modern exemple would however be SETI@home or distributed.net, even though these are specific and would require lots of changes to fit zila's scope.
"communes do not work in reality" So : The industrial revolution has seen the rise of the communism, it was followed by the 20th century which has seen many huge corporations quickly taking over many successful local businesses and employ their respective workforce a special way. then workers felt they cam after the artificial creatures that corporations were becoming, hence the rise of the socialism. No, the real question is not whether socialism or communism work or not. these are simply the symptoms of unethical environment. I don't think the existing model is good. even shareholders are beginning to seek other ways to make money by not owning the corporation anymore (it's easy to ) but rather the concepts or the ideas, hence this stupid SCO- or Amazon- manias. Communes indeed don't work but they at least give workers the impression their lives don't depend on shareholders but rather on the state (which, under their point of view is supposed to be democratic enough to give them a chance to rise above the others).
I used to work with zila-connected NeXT in the early nineties, hence my vision. Does it make me a communist or are you just trolling me (I don't have a problem with this, I have enough time) ?
I guess there will only be one computer, at this time : a virtual computer distributed over millions of physical nodes, so the storage will might be each of these nodes' memory... Like Freenet but also aimed at distributing workload.
we all know what a vocoder is and can do, some even better than you, as some of your reply's answers show. Now, if I tell you that it's a *fact* and it was publicly announced by Cher's producer himself who should be aware, then there's no more whining about vocoders vs autotune, ok ?
Nope, this has been discussed in Future Music and the song producer actually explained he used some vocoder but he agrees Antares Autotune may give the same results.
Get a wasp in your car while you're driving. Would you accept getting fined because you instinctive actions made you cross the line or brake 10cm after the stop sign ?
Why do these people assume that scientists have no ethics?
Because they don't : A scientist studies a phenomenon and implements a mechanism, or whatever else. Where are the ethics, here ? It is not about saving the world, it is about producing something. Years ago, my chemistry teacher explained me that once researchers have found that a reaction has a negative standard entropy, they first build the factory, then study the usability of the new molecule. Where are the ethics in this case ?
(non-native speaker question : do I have to write where is the ethics ?)
Why is it so hard for people to see that atomic energy can be used for ill and will be very hard to stop?
Because most of Hiroshima survivors were blinded.
Just because something can be used for Bad Things does not mean it should be instantaneously squashed.
Well, Atomic energy was first used 2 times in order to humiliate a population who had already begun to negociate its redition, hence the negative "a-priori".
Regardless, anyone should be able to try it out w/o being forced to look at annoying ads. You want the goat, the cabbage and the milkwoman's ass at once ? No : you should accept whatever they give you and look elsewhere if you're not satisfied. Otherwise you're just a wannabbe-moralist-thief.
I also like the fact that not all Debian devels are free software zealots, its good to have disagreement, but its also good that all of them want the best Froo OS there is. As in Boor ?
In another 10 years, there'll be either Debian/BSD, Debian/Hurd, Debian/FreeDOS and many others for all the hobbyists around. Debian is not an OS, it is a distro which is made of GNU packages and a specific kernel. The kernel will change, not the distro.
Thanks for your interesting point about the various ways to install it, I just had to observe my colleagues installing all at once, hence my original comment.
BTW, Linux is not a testosterone thing, I mean I don't get anal if things don't run that fast at once. BTW, I gladly run a secure Debian on my servers but I personally use an OSX laptop, so, I am not pointlessly whining about compiling:)
That's a funny one. Didn't know this, but I actually never tried Gentoo, mostly because all my colleagues had to wait 48hours to get their distro compiled... Also because I like to get my packages updated sometimes before the CERT people say they should be.
What makes Debian greater than SuSe, RedHat and others is mostly the point it is *not* commercial. I mean : we're not even sure RedHat will still be there in a few years but we know that if in 10 years, we perform an:
apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade our system will be updated... This might however be the case with other systems but I doubt that satisfied Debian pioneers actually switched. I guess the Gentoo-ers are mostly former SuSe-ists or RedHat-ters
I have not read such a stupid answer for a very long time. You're either a clumsy troll or genetically impaired... If you cannot filter that *few* spams, then you should reconvert and become a peasant.

If Microsoft made a vacuum cleaner, it'd be their only product which would not suck...

No problem : The LZW algorithm has fallen in the Public domain 2 months and a week ago.
but DEC-25 is OCT-31, isn't it ?

I don't know how you made this deduction... ;)
If this comes from pot, this must be some good one...
"vaccination"
The logic is in the viruses' impacts (in terms of both strength and penetration/outbreak).

Or maybe compile Duke Nukem Forever before Y3K :)
Everything, Everything2 ancestor, offered blog facilities before 1999.

John Carmack and John Romero are names that every self-respecting Slashdot reader knows.
Please, I do not respect myself for knowing them. I also respect more people who don't know them that people who do.

Well, you obviously haven't been using Gentoo.
:)
Exactly, this is what I first said.

Not sure : how many non-American are there, in this crowd ?
Some might not even care about American policies...
Flamebait ?
Not really : how many American Slashdotters do care about foreign policies ?
