i never said you couldn't say it. i never said it should censored. please show my where i make an allusions to controlling what you can and can't say. you posted something on a public space and i responded to it.
perhaps if you do not want people responding to your posts, than perhaps you should "stuff it". i am so sick of "unfunny jackasses" that can not take any criticism or cry when someone makes a response that does not agree with them.
oh, i get it. holocaust humour is hillarious. do you have any good AIDS jokes or anything about the slaughtered people of Rwanda? child molestation jokes are also good for a laugh or two.
i think comparing computer science to nature is a pretty unfair comparison. Nature is analog, computers are digital. You can make computers seem like they are fuzzy recognizing, but underneath it all, it is, it is a very strict set of rules. Also, faults tolerance for an entire ecosystem is very high, but for the individual is very, very low. So if there is a small defect in my heart, the human race will continue without a hitch, but i won't and neither will my family... So putting fault tolerances into software might make an entire system stay up and running, it might behave slightly differently every time it adjusts for an error. After a while it might behave completely differently than what it was designed to. and IMHO, that's bad.
The reason computers are so powerful and useful is there strict adherence to the rules, and the fact that it should be able to reproduce exactly repeatable results, no matter how often it is ran.
Nature and computers play two completely different roles in our society, and trying to make one to be like the other seems for non-logical and detrimental.
this is why i always liked chess. no matter how much money you have or don't have, they only way to win is by intellect, which crosses all racial and financial boundaries. no amount of money or steriods can make you a better chess player. it takes practice and focus. i am sure you can send your kids to "chess" camps or things like that, but for the most part, it's one of the few true level competitions.
where does it say it is going to track what you do, with whom and why? all it is doing is tracking if you go outside a certain designated area. let's not blame anybody for anything that have not done. that's like blaming everyone for being a pirate just because they use P2P software... whether or not they have ambigious wording in their contracts are they are unfairly price gouging is a whole other issue. but for some reason a lot of people here think they the car rental companies are tracking and logging your behavior. before we accuse anybody of invasion of provacy, i would first like some proof. let's not become the MPAA/RIAA of the consumer world.
so, when the RIAA/MPAA complain about P2P, and say how they want to tax certain things (blank CDs and the such) because people might pirate their music, almost everyone at slashdot complains because they are being "taxed" because they "might" be doing something illegal, but their not and the MPAA/RIAA should just be going after the violaters. A rental car company wants to enforce it's contract using GPS, without any proof of privacy violation, but slashdot community wants them to stop doing it because they "might" violate your privacy? Can we first wait to see a car rental company do something wrong before everyone wants take away their right to use technology?
isn't that what special effects, green screens and CGIs are for? i would be so pissed if the closed down philladelphia for two days, so some hollywood producer can make some money.

GPL is neither pro or anti capitalism. because it is not a market philosophy, so for MS to say it's anti-capitalism, there is no good reason.

i do agree that i do not know of any great innovations due to the open source community, but from what i understand, MS's rallying cry is their innovation, where OS is openness. so it is a valid question to know exactly what those innovations are the MS is always talking about...

it is not about passing out pamphlets or having a dissenting opinion. i have no problem with, i support and it is legal to disseminate information which disagrees and is critical of the government. it's the when you call people to murder those you disagree with that it becomes an issue. i am a hardcore vegan, yet i would never promote the murder of butchers and furriers. it's just like those anti-abortionist who promote the bombing of abortion clinics. your rights are protected to protest abortion, but when you bomb and kill people in a clinic, are you just excercising your free speech or did you step over the line to murder?
If i was to walk around handing people pamphlets on how to create bombs and encourage everyone to kill everyone that disagrees with me, i would be arrested and rightfully so.

i think the original post was commenting on how difficult monolitihic kernels are to maintain, such as Linux and *BSDs, so perhaps effort should be towards a non-monolithic kernel, like hurd.

maybe i am an idiot, but i do not see anywhere on the gobe site where it mentions linux.

who says the linux kernel is a solid foundation? who says that can't be something more solid, and if there is, that should definitly be looked into.
i think the original post was commenting on how difficult monolitihic kernels are to maintain, such as Linux and *BSDs, so perhaps effort should be towards a non-monolithic kernel, like hurd.

Does having a microkernel slow things down at all?
