Relax, little guy. Take a swig of that magic potion. Or let Assurancetourix compose a soothing melody.
For the native English speakers that would be 'Cacofonix':)
It is funny they translated it this way. In the french original version, Assurancetourix's name has nothing to do with music. We could translate it in english as allincludedinsurence-ix
I have reached the point where my reaction on Ray Kurzweil name is "why do we have to hear about him again?" Not all science fiction authors enjoy such devotion in news reports.
It is free trade, not automation that makes unions powerless
Automation yields productivity gains with less work. If production could not be moved oversea, unions could bargain wage increase and work hour decrease.
When I posted the above comment, this story had no comment and I was in hope for a first post. Oddly, my comment disapeared after I posted it, and the story remained with no comment. Then it came back after other posted.
Is there a set of keywords that cause a comment to be spared for review before getting displayed?
conclude that it basically gives the European Patent Office the power to decide what is patentable. Which almost certainly means software patents will be possible.
Does that trumps the 1974 convention that has been transposed in all EU member national laws, and that explicitly says software are not patentable? For now EU patent offices will gracefully grant you software patent, but courts will rule them invalid. Does that change?
TL;DR, but did they consider the scenario where government reports downplayed environmental issues, causing no action to be taken by nation state, and making the planet unsuitable for human presence?
I did not say anything about China, but indeed China retained the worst properties of communism and capitalism. The individual is nothing, but individualism thrive.
Install a server OS (I would pick NetBSD, Debian or Slackware is nice if you are a Linux person), administer over SSH. It will be painful learning at the beginning, but you will not regret it once you will be a knowledgeable in Unix administration.
We know tax evasion has been an issue for a long time, and we have not been able to fight efficiently against it. Every legal measure was optimized against by big corporation army of lawyers. And now we just started fighting on a front I did not see coming: tax evasion/optimization is now a PR shame.
That is efficient. But what puzzles me is that it can only happen with the help of the media. And the media are in the hands of corporate interest, which benefit of tax evasion/optimization. How was that vicious circle broken?
If we're so worried about China getting our jet engine tech (and we probably should be), then why is GE allowed to be in a joint Chinese venture to make engines?
Because as Lenin said: "Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them"
Mr. McAfee has accused the Belize government of widespread corruption.
Says the sixty-seven year old guy who bought an off-shore island retreat for himself
Indeed, he did choose to live there, and perhaps corruption was a factor leading to that choice: a wonderful country where you live above the law if you have money. Now things turned wrong, it is time to complain about corruption.
Yes, Darwin does use a MACH kernel. But the MACH kernel itself is also derived from BSD, originally developed as additional code written directly into the 4.2BSD kernel.
If you actually look at the code, or even just at system calls, it is obvious Mach has nothing to do with a Unix kernel. Where did you read it was BSD derived?
I don't mention BSD since it's not really mainstream any longer. It's a good OS, but lacks overall vendor support.
Indeed, last BSD release was 4.4, and it was in 1995. No vendor sells BSD anymore, and nobody use it, therefore you are perfectly right. But I do not know where you have been living for 13 years if you are not aware that BSD derived systems are everywhere today, and backed by major vendors.
I find it very improbable Apple will sue. I think they'll ignore it.
You deserve to be mod'ed up. When a similar project passed some milestones on NetBSD, there was not even a cease and desist letter which would certainly have been seen as acknowledgement
I could be wrong, but I suspect implementing the OSX APIs in Linux might actually be easier than trying to implement Win32. Partly this is because OSX is already a *nix-based system, so you don't have to do as many weird hacks with directory mapping and so forth
OTOH you need to cope with Mach system calls. OS X is a bicephal kernel. There are positive system calls, which are handled by a BSD-derived kernel, and negative system calls, which are handled by the Mach microkernel.
The Mach microkernel is central to OS X functionality as all process IPC go through Mach messages. And that stuff has nothing to do with Linux stuff
That prehistoric project implemented Mach-O loader, Mach system calls, and has been able to start OS X display server. It felt short actually displaying something useful, and died from lack of user interest.

And since there is not a single non-NATO army that has at the moment the naval capability to sink them they have it good.
I am pretty convinced that US navy does not take for granted that their submarines could not be sunk by Russia or China

Something about Russian culture makes long periods of isolation more tolerable for them somehow
The US has ballisitic missile submarines, with crew members that get isolated for months.

Enthusiasm? But isn't that kind of public intervention an horrible communist-like threat to free market?
Oh, wait, ISP have not yet started their media campaign against the project

Well, I am surprised it took so long to appear. The attack is easy and the gains are obvious.

This virus has a few days left to make the Maya end of the world prediction come true. Hurry up!

And how well did that work out for Lenin do you think? It seems to me that the necks of the capitalist pigs are still quite intact.
You confuse the fate of the individuals with the fate of the ideology, sir.

IMO mutt is still king
Yes, mutt is efficient. But people that keep sending HTML messages are a bit annoying to read on mutt

There was a similar attemptin NetBSD almost 10 years ago. .

"Current page-by-page review processes are unsustainable in an era of gigabytes and yottabytes."-
What is the point of keeping documents if we take for granted that nobody will read them?
Yea, there other models like French socialism, etc. That does not work either, does it?
It worked until the UE rules made it impossible to sustain.
