I could be totally wrong here but wouldn't a brigde build from organic material rot away or eaten by fungi in a year if no material will be used to protect it? Even if you would find a material that would protect it for a while, imagine the cost to keep it coated... iron may rust, but it doesn't degrade as fast as proteine... As fas as I know organisms really love the stuff. So you will not only have to battle passive degration but hungry organisms that will chew down your structure as well.
Because you learned the hard way: <childbrain> Ok shampoo... uhmm what should I do with it... I... uhmm... I... put it in my mouth!... bleghh... Uhmm that was not it... Must be something else... Ah yes... Maybe I should put it in my eyes... Oooouuuchhhhhhh... MOMMMMMY !!!... Ah I apparently should put it in my hair... Mmmmm that feels better... That must be it! </childbrain> Repeat until learned
But it still doesn't mention which part of the linux code is copied (either way). I would like to know... give me some function/variable names. Then we could at least estimate the date the code was submitted and incorporated. Furthermore we could know which functional parts of the linux kernel was copied.
The lawsuits against IBM and Linux users could take a year or more. Minimize Linux in complex, mission-critical systems until the merits of SCO's claims or any resulting judgments become clear.
If Linux *disappeared* tomorrow - I wouldn't care one bit, becasue we have FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and to certain extent Mac OS X.
You just mentioned four *nixes that have a lot of files at another location and have different names (although linux is a bit of an hybrid between sys v and bsd). The first thing I would do is make a script that would symbolic link everything to famliar places, in case I would have to make a new install. Otherwise I wouldn't feel at home. Although, I have to say I would feel more familiar with BSD than theos'es (not saying any names). Those that would feel like being in a dark maze without a flashlight; Occasionaly finding an userfriendly lightswitch, which only switches a quarter of the lights you hoped for.
Where does windowmaker fit in this schema? You have GNUstep which is derived from Nextstep...etc... Or am I mixing things here? I use WindowMaker as my window manager everywhere.. but I don't know anything about its heritage.. Is the dock of OSX a descendant from the dock we use in windowmaker? Could somebody please enlighten me (no pun intended) on this subject?
Instead of writing a getsetter yourself, you could use a macro. I'm not sure whether I would really would want this "property" syntax thing. It would require less typing, but it would also make it harder to find things in the code. For instance if you would see obj.setId(aID), something like 'grep -r "void setId" *' would return nothing.
I'm a complete ignorant about these things. But how stable are these systems that work on nano levels? For instance if I would give my computer a hard kick, would it be affected in any way? The energy levels it works on are so low.
I still use HTMLtidy to check my pages... I would love to have something like a "stringent" mode while developing web pages (ala browser producer error instead of trying to render the html). A while ago I found out that mozilla can even be more forgiving than IE. There was some weird bug in a parser I was testing, which sometimes resulted in </tr> to be rewritten as </tr or something. Mozilla didn't care. IE was totally confused. (First time I ever found something in html that confused explorer, but rendered ok in moz). Anyways... is such a mode/plugin available?
ok.."limestone".. Did it!... But who and what is absorbing CO2 now? US oceans? I'm mean a sink can only be a sink if it really doesn't release any CO2. And as long as US it the biggest producer of CO2... who cares about the US forests that are taking in CO2 (and release it somewhere else)... If the US would use these forests to power it's cars/industry/whatever (instead of oil) I agree that the "forest/sink argument" would be valid.
Ok. I'm trying.. But what happens with this soil biomass? Will it be burned by bacteria? Will it be used a fertilizer? A long it's not but deep into the middle of the earth, you're not sinking anything.... you're recycling CO2.
The only problem with DTT is that it is so lang lasting (that's why it's such great stuff... just spray it on the walls in your house and you're free of mosquitos for a few months).
The problem was that people started to use it in an other way. They sprayed whole forests with the stuff. Ok, you killed al the mosquitos, but you killed the ecology of the forest as well. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a pitty that DDT can't be used anymore. It was very effective againts diseases (not only malaria, there is denque, yellow fever etc. all mosquito-borne) (btw there is no non-mosquito-borne malaria (except blood transfusions and kidney transplants).
What do you think that happens with all the paper-pulp? Not everybody stores their National Geographics in their garages till they die. US is still the largest producer of CO2 world wide. And no, it's not because of the number of people that live in the US.
Forest can be CO2 sinks if the climate is off balance. Old forests (were the decay is equal to growth) are not CO2 sinks. If on the other hand, the limiting substance for growth (for example CO2) increases, it is possible for a forest to become a CO2 sink as long as a substance (e.g. CO2 or space) is limiting. So it can act as a temporarily buffer.
A similiar technique has been used by italian mathematicians to differentiate pages from various authors by using zip. A nature article can be found here.
After a request from a dutch newspaper they were able to identify one author (Marek van der Jagt, which made his first debut) to be the same as an already well-known author (Arnon Grunberg).

qoute: "That and well, the source is out there so it's not too difficult to hire a couple coders and fix things yourself."
And how much do you think that cost? A coule of (good) coders are not really cheap. For $1000 you could barely hire two for a day.
huh? IRIX != UNIX?

If Gentoo is homebrew then LFS is more like a farmer who first grows his own hop and afterwards brew his own beer...

Yes, but for once it doesn't start with: "IANAL, but ..."
Is this research in anyway sponsored by the Kmart?

Well I missed this one today on slashdot:

"/dev/hda1/" wouldn't that be "/dev/wd0sa1" or "/dev/ad0s1" "/dev/whatever" if it were BSD?

But you can detach menus in windowmaker. It is silly easy (or did you mean something else, or do I misunderstand?)

I meant macros a la Emacs macros

What i think is quite odd is that Pudge uses Cygwin if he aready have Mac OS X... Why use an emulator to run an "almost" emulator to run a Unix shell?
