    You know, you might want to replace your pre 1995 mobile. You can have some for 50$ or less (10$ if you don't mind the ALLCAPS), you will be able to put it in your pocket and leave the backpack home, reload the batteries only twice a week, access other networks than the expensive ones only doctors and lawyers could afford.

  12. Apples and oranges on Mandrake 9.2b1 Released, 2.6 Test Kernel in Cooker · · Score: 1

    Thank you for coming (totally selflessly as there was no Lusithania nor Silberberg telegram) to help us beat the Germans in 1917 (three years after the war began) after we decided to invade germany to rid them of their so blatant weapons of mass destruction.

    Thank you again for coming (totally selflessly again as Pearl Harbour is a myth) to help us beat the Germans in 1941 (2+ years after the war began; 1+ year after the french lost it).

    We are so selfish to have refused to help you defend yourselves against that internationally dangerous Saddam Hussein, who had already taken all of your east coast. But be sure we may eventually help the US in 2006 when it will be fully occupied by Saddam's world's fourth largest army in the world, might they decide to attack us by surprise.

  13. Re:Fault-tolerant/robust system engineering on In-Flight Reboot? · · Score: 1
    I don't care if you're RMS writing the purest code with GNU/Ada for the EFF Air Force, you're not going to write something that will never fail. Better to design and build an overall system which can tolerate minor interruptions, especially if you are going to be flying into a war zone.
    Isn't an Ada compiler by spec supposed to refuse to compile code which doesn't catch EVERY exception ?

  17. Re:Recent Experiences Where I Work on SCO Extorting Unixware Licenses to Linux Users? · · Score: 4, Interesting
    stating that software we have provided them DOES NOT contain any "Free Software".
    Buhahahahahahaha ! I guess once you have purchased a special non existing MSWindows version without MIT Kerberos and BSD TCP/IP (and possibly other I ignore), you will have to rewrite those for your customers. Where do I sign up for a IT job in your company ? It seems they will need all the available help.

    I do not know of ANY OS that doesn't contain at least a bit of free software.
