Especially considering Microsoft's monopoly power over OEMs, you would think it would be four or five times this number. After all, Android arrives on over a billion new devices a year these days. Seems inescapable to conclude that Microsoft is now firmly second-rate.
You are quibbling. The point is, Trump has so far fired (at least!) three officials who were investigating him. The OP made that point perfectly clearly. Your gainsaying that makes you come across as a Putin shitposter, though it is entirely possible that you are merely an annoying pedant instead.
That almost makes sense, except that it is an exaggeration to say that Nixon colluded with Hanoi. Prolonged the war, yes, but not by colluding. (Unless you have your own private definition of collusion, in which case, suit yourself.)
And Clinton was impeached, as Trump surely will be. Clinton's transgressions are ridiculously minor compared to Trump's treasonous selling out of America.
Comey got himself fired for basically, being bad at being Director of the FBI.
Says you. Says me and the rest of the world: Comey'sinvestigation is getting uncomfortably close to disclosing details of the Trump family alignment with Putin's thugs.
Gratuitous insult. I bet you one of your finger bones that you can't tell the difference between 60 and 120 Hz, and I stand by my buzzword comment. Ask me what I care about in an operating system, it is not the video refresh rate - that's not even part of the operating system for God's sake! Much akin to saying, the most important thing about a Tesla is the color.
Hurd was a viable project, Debian even produced a distro at one point using it as the kernel. The thing that killed it is that it was too late, Linux already did everything Hurd needed to do, and the stuff Hurd brought to the table wasn't compelling enough to make anyone switch.
I agree with the GP, this sounds a little like it'll go the same way. Android has warts, just as Linux does, but it works, it has the mindshare, there's no compelling reason to switch to anything else.

You alluded to the crucial difference yourself: this project is not too late, it is right on time. Especially considering Google's ability to leverage its monopoly power and monopoly profits to push this project into a rapidly expanding application domain that it does not yet control. On top of that, it is developed in C++, giving it an inherent advantage over Linux in terms of code abstraction. As I said, Linux devs need to wake up and pull their heads out of their asses. This is not another hurd, this is an existential threat.
How are they going to fix this problem by switching to yet another OS?
Obviously they are not. Fuchsia is not about making it easier for OEMs to issue updates, it is more about cutting Linux out of the toolchain so that Google will be free to go full evil. Not that they specifically intend to go full evil, but they desire the freedom to do that.
OK, built. The TLS issue was transient... a retry got past it. Not impressed by transient issues like that, though.
Built on a stock Ubuntu system without issues. Some warnings, mainly about deprecated Libc defines. Good that it built. Now, I just happen to have a NUC to boot it on...
Not invented here... once again. Sigh. I hope it dies
Translation "I don't know anything about it and new knowledge always hurts my head."
I hope Linus recognizes the danger and gets busy thinking about how Linux needs to change to stay out in front of the upstart. This one is not going to die so don't waste your time bleating about it.

127,000 dpi, what's with the archaic units? Roughly 200 nm/dot?

Nixon sabotaged the 1968 Vietnam peace talks because a peaceful resolution would have benefited his opponent.
That makes Nixon an authoritarian abuser (worthy of impeachment) not a traitor (even more worthy of impeachment.)
Are you going to post anything substantive, asshole?
In exactly what way was Nixon a traitor, as opposed to a power mad egomaniac?
how long was Clinton under investigation?
And Clinton was impeached, as Trump surely will be. Clinton's transgressions are ridiculously minor compared to Trump's treasonous selling out of America.
Trump impeachment odds now even.
personally under investigation at present, but he might be in the future
The operative word is "yet".
He can't fire Congress...
I think he's hoping to be able to arrest them, much as Erdogan does.
why is this on Slashdot?
Wait... why are you on Slashdot?
Eh - water under the bridge at this point.....
More like a backed-up sewer.

Maybe misleading to you, not to anyone else.
this is a repeat of the "Saturday Night Massacre"
It sure is, and unlike Nixon, Trump will go out in handcuffs because he is actually a traitor. As opposed to Nixon, who merely aspired to be.
Just because you are blind to the differences between 30, 60, and 120 fps doesn't mean the rest of us are.

I don't know about you guys, but to me that thing looks a bit like Googles Hurd. I doubt it will overtake *nix any time soon.
It's nothing like Hurd, it is actually a viable project, and apparently, already relatively mature as a bootloader.

Time to completely fucking change everything so I have to re-learn how to use the phone and write my apps.
Now that you mention it, it's rather refreshing to not hear a word about Java. Maybe Google learned their lesson?
