No. Mach and BSD are not in a on-top/below relationship in xnu. They are peers. Do not be distracted by the fact that it's called/mach_kernel. It's all one binary, and it has both BSD and Mach symbols.
Oh I get it. Windows 2000 doesn't cost anything to support after 5 years, since your forced to upgrade at that time.

Still using Linux 2.0.33? That came out five years ago. Want to count "service packs?" Okay. Still using 2.0.x?
You're not?
Then shut the fuck up about using something for five years. Linux has seen more substantive change over the past five years than the NT codebase has. With Linux, if you wanted new filesystem support, SMP, faster I/O, etc., you needed to upgrade.
Windows XP volume licensing is identical to Windows 2000 volume licensing, because you're buying the same thing: Windows Pro. My company's Windows Pro license allows us to have either all Win2k, all WinXP, or some mixture of the two.
Oh, and the copy of Windows XP Pro on the Volume License media kit doesn't require activation.
So you'd have no problem with going outside to go take a shit?
Technology progresses society. Things become easier, and more convenient. This results in society becoming whinier. You make it sound like you deserve this year's Nobel Prize in Crankiness for having pointed this out.
Maine voters approved a constitutional amendment limiting terms on state legislators a few years back. We're now coming into the second "class" of long-term, effective legislators being forced into retirement.
Two years ago when the first class had to retire, they were replaced by people who had little-to-no legislative ability and were EVEN MORE tied to special-interest groups and corporations than the people they replaced.
Do you put term limits on your dentist or family doctor? They're in the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies, you know.
The BVD (Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdient: Internal Security Service), is best compared with the NSA, not the CIA, as the BVD isn't allowed to spy abroad.
That would make them comparable to the FBI. Neither the CIA nor NSA is allowed to handle domestic spying. That's why everybody got their knickers in a knot when Nixon had the CIA tell the FBI to stop looking into Watergate because of "the Bay of Pigs" invasion.
Your contributions aren't "stolen" under the BSD license. You give them away with the full knowledge that people have the ability to make changes to them and sell the resulting binaries, keeping the source private.
It's a matter of choice. It's a freedom that the BSD license provides that the GPL doesn't.
So, going back up thirty levels to an original post, it's this bit of flexibility that FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc. have that Linux doesn't.
So you have competitors breaking into your systems and stealing code that you store on your internal servers?
Sounds like you have problems that even the GPL can't solve. Perhaps you should fire your networking staff and replace them with people with more experience than having installed Linux on a 486.

No. The kernel is xnu. With both Mach and BSD symbols. In one memory space.
Yes. That was me. Replying to the guy who said that it wouldn't.
Yes, thank you. We all know about Debian, and its magical package management system.
But the grandparent was saying that he only had to upgrade the kernel--nothing else.
You're going to upgrade just the kernel.
Without upgrading any of the ancillary utilities like modutils.
Nor any of the libraries.
Okay. Go ahead and do that. Install RedHat 4. And then upgrade the kernel to 2.4. Things won't work anymore.
Volume (read: corporate) editions of Windows XP and Windows .NET server do not require activation.
In fact, Windows 2000 will not be supported five years after it's release date.
Yes it will.
Oh I get it. Windows 2000 doesn't cost anything to support after 5 years, since your forced to upgrade at that time.

We survived 20,000 years without indoor plumbing, too. What's your point?

No. He's speaking about motherboards with more than four slots.
4004 was 4-bit. 8008 was Intel's first 8-bit processor.
There is no god but Emad, and drdink is his prophet.
Emad be with you.
Yeah. I waited to register. Didn't see the point initially.
Still not exactly sure what the point is.
Quiet, you whippersnapper.
GNU/Wolfgang
Is RMS your father?
No?
Then take GNU out of your name, you dimwitted bastard.
He's right. It does this. Let me know when rpm starts doing this.
And no, pumping a listing of the package's manifest through 'xargs rm' doesn't count. Real People don't know how to do that.
That would make them comparable to the FBI. Neither the CIA nor NSA is allowed to handle domestic spying. That's why everybody got their knickers in a knot when Nixon had the CIA tell the FBI to stop looking into Watergate because of "the Bay of Pigs" invasion.
Sorry, no.
No.
Why wasn't this done before it was released as 2.4? That's just sloppy project management, and there's no excuse for it.

It's only theft if it isn't consensual.
Did somebody hold a gun to your head and make you upload your BSD-licensed code to a public archive server?
Nobody did?
Then shut the fuck up. Your point is irrelevant.
