    None of the things you listed justify a 'new OS', but rather added features to an existing OS, which isn't what i'm talking about.

    Also, that you list TLS, something happening entirely in userland, demonstrates how little clue you have - yet you're arrogant enough to suggest that was the case for me.

    two reasons:
    a) Microsoft is marketing a ``server'' edition of their ``operating system''
    b) As a windows user, you're basically operating a black box. You can become arbitrarily knowledgeable with respect to navigating the UI, but you don't, and can't, learn shit about how operating systems work on a conceptual level.

    BTW, there's a third class of operating systems - the ``media center'' OS.

    the idea that no one "needs" a new operating system is, frankly, stupid.

    Please name one thing in the last decade which has changed sufficiently to justify a new OS.
    Microsoft obviously wants you to buy a new product every other year, but if you think about what an OS is supposed to do, it's pretty stupid, and you're falling for it.

    The ``remote control progam'' is called ssh.
    If for whatever weird reason you actually need graphical ``remote control'', well, X11 is, you know, designed to be network transparent.

    As said, you're being lazy for not having read TFS. That isn't a wild assumption, your post makes that clear

    Huh? You would have obtained that knowledge from merely reading TFS, not even TFA, so all you're doing now is further demonstrating your stupidity.

    That being said, I run {Free,Net}BSD, so your point about the linux community is moot.

    Right, (well actually a more fitting translation (IMO) is ``substantially faster'').
    Nevertheless, 20km/h is what is typically taught in driving schools, and seems to be a good rule of thumb.

    There is such a law, it's just worded in a slightly different but equivalent fashion.

    Okay, since I see you doing it wrong all the fucking time, and since your sig indicates you're from the Windows world, let me explain the notation you're using:

    1. ^H is a backspace. It kills exactly one character to the left. So your today's misuse of it leads to

    [...] made me wal, no, run away [...]

    Please stop doing that.
    Here's an example of doing it rite^H^Hght.

    2. ^W, on unix systems, typically kills a word to the left. It's what you usually want to do instead of your single ``^H'', although in today's comment, it wouldn't make sense even if I took the ^H for a ^W, see:

    [...] made me, no, run away [...]

    In fact you should either use the unix terminal notation, or the literal 'no', but not both. Please stop doing that.
    Instead, learn how to be less stupid^W^W^Wdo it right.

    3. ^U typically kills everything to the left of the cursor on that line.
    You never seem to use it, although it might be a valuable addition to many of your comments^UPlease keep this in mind.

    As for slow passing, that's mostly a fallacy, because every cruise control allows driver over-ride, and passing a slower vehicle at one mph difference in speed is not some how more dangerous than passing at 5 or 10 mph.

    Actually, it probably is a little more dangerous. People in too big a hurry* do get mad about this, and some of those people are mad enough/have poor enough impulse control that they'll take out their anger in unsafe manuevers (starting with tailgating and unreasonably close passing once it is clear, all the way up to actually attempting to run the slow-passer off the road).

    Much more dangerous is, by slow overtaking you're prolonging the time spent in the blind spot of the overtaken car, which is why for instance German law forbids overtaking with less than 20 km/h difference in velocity.
