I can't see how this looks like Harlock at all... I mean pirates, yes they both have em. Otherwise, I'm fairly certain that we won't see Disney's character getting drunk and hating the universe, being stoic and morbid for no apparent reason and etc. If Harlock rode some sort of skateboard/snowboard look-a-like then maybe.
I really don't see any similarity other than pirates in space (which is certainly nothing new). Sorry... I can't disagree more.

Surely you mean "grammatically correct response" and perhaps even "smart-assed" or "smart assed".
Not to mention "so quick you had (or possibly 'will have') to slap me for it". I can't be certain on the last bit as your sentence is not grammatically correct.

If this weren't a FSF thing no one would be defending it. But by all appearances it's a terribly flawed project that will most likely never see the light of day or, if it does, will be a curiosity for geeks to spend a day or so playing with before casting it aside.
Stallman's done great things for computing. But I don't believe this is one of them. But I guess we'll see... in a few years.
Nearly 20 years to produce something that's not practical as compared to everything that's already out. And it's not done yet. And now they're switching microkernels. Sorry... whatever, dude... no one but Stallman (and maybe Linus) could hold people in thrall over something like this for so long. It's PromiseWare. "Real soon... promise!"
OK, let's say I'll hold out... but if, when it finally arrives -- assuming it ever does, I have to partition my [future] 10 terabyte drive into 50 slices I will most decidely be more than 'annoyed'.
Come on, y'all... isn't pragmatism something to be sought after??? This project is a never-ending spiral of 'just wait'. What's next? "Oh, we have to switch microkernels again since the one we're using doesn't support CPU speeds greater than 999 MHz." ? (this theroretical example is merely meant to illustrate a point, I don't need a bunch of replies stating that it can do so -- that's not the point)

...Firewire's life is and will be driven by DV cameras not external disks. As long as the cam manufacturers continue to use Firewire (and Sony is going to, rest assured), then USB will not kill Firewire.
Besides, recent test results have shown that USB may not be the Firewire killer it's touted to be in real-world situations.

What the fuck is that all about? Half the facts in the headline are wrong (battleship, cruise liner, yadda yadda) and then you strike off on a tangent that's just plain inflammatory and, from the looks of it, shows off your ignorance of closed system infections.
Argh! I've so had it with this bullshit. Slashdot has become incredibly unreliable. You guys fucking lie in your headlines (let's call it what it is.. it's no merely "inaccurate", it's fucking lying for the sake of sensationalism) and then just go on about your business when half your [huge] readership makes note of it.
ARGH! I defy you [Slashdot editorial staff] to address this issue. I defy you. Go ahead... prove that you all aren't the true 'anonymous' cowards hiding behind your 'code of silence'.
Headline: Slashdot makes shit up just for shits and giggles. Facts secondary to inflaming the masses.

I'm willing to bet that the woman in the story wouldn't even understand his post, much less know how to do it. Just because the story was on Slashdot doesn't mean this woman is some Debian rat who lives for kernel releases and talks about Ogg.
Oh... never mind. Go play some Everquest and forget I said anything...
I don't agree with the Coward that you don't get it, but I do agree with the spirit of what he's saying.
It's kinda like 'imagine if the Spice Girls had turned out to be really fuckin cool _despite_ being slapped together in a boutique'. The Pistols never should have sold records cuz we liked the songs. They were supposed to sell records cuz they looked cool and thus sell clothes. But.. damn if 'Never Mind...' didn't kick serious ass. It still gets me going to this day.
Maybe we could split the difference with: "Steve Jones, whata band".:)
Yes, the Pistols sucked. But they sucked so fucking well.:)
Dude, I worked there until recently. These guys are not sitting around throwing darts when they're gonna release a fatser chip, they're scrambling to squeeze speed out of their designs. We used to tape out a design once or twice a year at most. Now they're doing it as fast as they can and taping out shit all the time. Your categorising of the cycles as "slow" is ill informed and just plain wrong. If anything, the cycle is too fast.
Do you think they can rest on their laurels while AMD is nipping at their heels? The answer, I can assure you, is no. They are working full out and many of the people who work in the design departments and related are burning themselves out fast and furiously. And just because they get a prototype running faster than what's on the market doesn't mean the thing is ready to be released. That's where the RESEARCH in R&D comes from.
Intel, whether I like them or not, is killing themselves trying to get and keep ahead. I used to see it every day. I know these people and I know what they're going through. So...
The people who will buy these don't give a flying rat's ass about ergonomics. Are you people on crack? Or are you just so anal and geek-absorbed you can't think outside the practical? Do you own art? Hello? Is this thing on? Testing... testing...
Neither do Toyota or GM but you can certainly buy all the parts of a car if you want. It's not like they could stop you. They could cut off a parts supplier, but that's all.
