Typically, the category that uses NAv (relative newbies on the cheapest cable and dialup) would run away:
- slowest connection, every complication means pain, so they either visit less frequent, or stop all together.

The Slashnerd is usually not interested in your products, or doesn't decide using them on the basis of a mere banner.
So while trying to stuff your ads down the throath of people that won't buy anything anyway, you refuse a small percentage of your actual customers. (but that is a larger absoluteamount[group]*buyerperviewpercentile[group ] than the slashdot group's)
Since the author actually reads the slashdot comments, I've a little question.
I'm no real kernel hacker, so I could be totally off, but:
Are all OSes located on the same part of the (same) HD? This because linear performance probably scales linear with the cylinder the OS partitions is on.
While I agree with you fully, the practice is different.
I'm no Java/Sun zealot, but Sun simply commits to Java being multiplatform, and works with other vendors to do so.
It seems microsoft's only multi platform interest is in getting the avg windows app less x86 dependant, and some WinCE experiments. (which is still WinCE)
Mono is very fun to watch, but unless the avg windows generated app actually works on it, it is useless. If I need to specially craft the app by not using certain constructs and assemblies, I might as well keep using C/C++, which is also portable when I specially craft them
They are $40, while I spend my time to get apps tow work with OpenBSD. And tomorrow every other open source team starts to do the same trick. I think _not_.
Exit OpenBSD
The trojan problem can be solved very easily. Let OpenBSD provide ISO's and md5sum them.

Re:Panther/Darwin contributions?

FreeBSD 4.9 Released

· Score: 3, Insightful
Apple's contributions are most visible in gcc 3.x.y series powerpc support and optimization, not at kernel level in FreeBSD, since Darwin mainly uses FreeBSD's userland, not kernel.
So Apple is giving back to the community, just not directly to FreeBSD.
No, but that is no reason to drop legislation and intervention as an instrument entirely. They are also a way to increase the costs, (and thus decrease spammers revenue)
The article pretty much suggest to drop the burden entirely on the end-user
They really wanted to give it a libertarian twist, no matter what, didn't they?
99% of the users can't block spam serverside, and just putting the burden on them, will make them pay for the costs, since they have to download it (telephone, burden on bandwidth).
Not putting a brake on the origin will cause even more spam.
There is only one solution: put cost on sending spam AND their ISPs that try to get away with it. Moneywise, or with penalties.
I don't see why software would have to deal with quarternary logic at all.
Currently the assembler- hardware logic is already an abstraction (microcode).
If only the main busses (address bus, data bus, and their modern counterparts) would simply use that, and elementary pieces like barrelshifters would be quaternary, one could severely limit the number of lines (and thus transistors)
However it could be that because of tolerance problems quaternary logic elements have to be larger, and thus don't yield the big benefit one would expect.
So essentially they integrated half a GIMP engine in AS to save a few kb of.png on your 120 Gb HD, and added a lot of dependancies like xml parsers etc. (or reinvented the wheel again)... but FORGOT to make a prefs menu?

Pascal was meant for educational system, just like C was never meant for applications programming, but for systems programming.
Pascal changed much more over time than C did. The most used Delphi languages are closer to C++ than to C.
Which is why I don't use SUSE either.

That list doesn't list the mirrors of the ISO image, since OpenBSD only sells CDs, and does not provide an ISO.
I found a home grown one using Google:
http://news.jump.net.uk/openbsd-i386-3.4.iso
TCP/IP was developped for 4.3 BSD NET/2 release funded by a governmental DARPA grant.
All other OSes borrowed from it, and Microsoft didn't steal it, since Microsoft pays taxes too.
There is no spike. OpenBSD as only OSS OS doesn't provide ISO's, you need to do your own final release building step, this to keep CD sales up
Everybody downloads it homegrown ISO's from non official mirrors.
Ever heard of GCC/PRO?
There is nothing to give back to FreeBSD in general.
MAC OS X DOESN'T USE THE FREEBSD KERNEL, JUST THE USERLAND! IT IS A MACHKERNEL!
Only minor tools maybe. They'll probably send-pr when they find bugs.

Yes indeed. Only a few cartels in remote area's survive.
Put the burden on the user, and your neighbour will start fabricating.

Iron is quite natural, however treatment with iron could make the soil slightly acidic.
That and maybe the amount of base chemicals to create the dispersion and a possible neutralisation
afterwards are the only things I can think of.
Win98 was Memphis IIRC.
Bad, bad

I think it will be General Electrics and Philips and
one or two East Asian companies that get the new
lighting market.
AFAIK ESA also is the most commercial space agency.
IIRC it fires 3 times the number of satellites (mainly telecommunication) into the sky than NASA annually

More important, what unit system are they going
