Because if they get caught (which would be fairly likely) no one would ever buy anything from them again and they would face more law suites than you could count. That why not.
virtual box is great. its free/open-source well supported on windows mac and linux. itis easy to set up. has the ability to take snapshots on the vm to roll back at a moments notice. good documentation don't know what else you could need here.
If you think X11 was "recently broken", you're deluded. It's been a steaming turd for a very long time. And whilst you can't polish a turd, you can dump it in sparkly glitter and it will look a little better than before. But it's still a turd.
Just to be pedantic; yes you cans polish a turd mythbusters busted that one.
The only douchie people I have seen in in relation to the Google glasses release are the socially retarded (technical term not insult here) that threaten to kill or main the wearers of said glasses. While it may look funny now these could be useful eventually (these are really a tech in its infancy and the glasses are more a public beta then a finished product).
Everyone seems to fear that they will become the ultimate spy device used by evil mega corp Google to spy on you and you precious bodily fluids on behalf of big guberment. first of they don't have the battery power or the storage to run all day. Second you tell it when to turn on the video recorder. Thirdly it opensource like android root the damn thing. (To which they reply i cant root everyone else, nor can you their camera phone. or the hundreds of cctv systems around you all of the time which do happen to be active all of the time.) If you are really scared that you will be recorded by them audit the source code and compile the binary using the same compiler and tool chain and compare checksums if they match and the source code you compiled then it is fine then your fine. (Unless you think that Google has perpetrated a Ken Thompson compiler hack of course. in which case you are much more screwed anyway.)
until the developer ask the janitor for the key to the server room. Turn off the computer remove the battery short the capacitor with a paper-clip replaces battery, BIOS now unlocked is booted to from external media script is added to init.d reboot and leave. may be more difficult if drive is encrypted untill developer Google how to spell "klaatu baraba nikto gort" or thinks to type "correcthoursebatterystaple".
if people are restricted from entering how if the robot going to get replacement components and new servers to swap out? how will the robot be repaired someone will always be allowed in and they will be the weak spot all we can do is limit the number of people allowed in.
a order is sent to the robot manufacturers for a new robot/repair-bot where, the order processed billing you automatically and they then build it in a automated robotic factory send it to you by google driver-less delivery vehicle to your data or robot-repair center receptively.
that would be because everything else's speed is effected by the kernel a slow kernel slows down the whole system a slow chat client for example won't burden your whole system unless there is something very very wrong.
precisely for the reasons Hurd failed so miserably
Hurd did not fail, it's right on time. Someday when there is a huge lawsuit against Linux (if there is one, it's just a possibility) you might appreciate the fact that Hurd exsists(sic).
We already had it, SCO lost and we are still using Linux.
Oh I see so they built a medium-low end pc. my 4 year old laptop has more storage and equal ram (i didn't go for the blueray drive but could have). so why would people want this again? Oh and the saves will be in the cloud what happens when microsofts assure suffers a major outage again... or my internet goes down... i have an underspec'ed brick.
And how will they stop it? I can download the designs for RepRap for free now, you can recycle plastic and make it into filament now (http://filabot.com/) so raw materials are no longer an issue. you cant regulate the digital files I mean have you heard of "the piratebay" or tor hidden services? What are they going to do make you register your arduino board? Primitive 3d printer circuit boards aren't that far off using a solder extruding head you can see working experimental examples on youtube. downloadable printable 3d metal printers are in the works (look up MetalicaRap on google) they can't stop it.

when they said intricate folder structure with porn my first thought was of xkcd 981.
Can we stop promoting the use of Oracle owned software already? I really would like to see the evil beast die.
then use virtual box ose (open source eddition)
i wonder if we will ever see a "librabox" fork akin to the libre/openoffice(.org) split?

and by the way x11 is no turd.
opensource like android
This should be modded funny.

really? you mean the apache license BSD license and the GPL aren't open source?

the mach micro kernal is the bases of osx and ios but it is not acting as a microkernal in those environments.
that would be because everything else's speed is effected by the kernel a slow kernel slows down the whole system a slow chat client for example won't burden your whole system unless there is something very very wrong.

"I was stating that Linux is the kernel AND the OS."
But it isn't.
Linux is only the kernel + drivers.
There is no userland, which is where GNU comes in.
GNU is the OS, Linux is the kernel.
gnu or busybox or plan9 or bsd or some mix there of
The GNU/ in this case is actually unneeded as it is a GNU project unlike GNU/Linux where the Linux kernel was not a GNU project.
Ok just one question first; Do we get to ride into battle on the back of a rampaging gnu leading a hoard of penguins and fight iNinjas?

That explains the rash of shootings with these home made guns.
or is it that your average gun owner/enthusiast not some raving psychopath like the media would have you believe.
