You say BSD is superior, but fail to give proof. You claim it is more mature but as I said the attitude given off by BSD users seem to suggest they are anything but.
BSD's software is not more mature than linux, because a couple of guys that liked BSD were elite idiots? Your reasoning seems off there.
BSD is a true unix, and thus is way more mature than linux.
You said: "If a rogue client has more or less access to a server and can do things to the server it should not be doing, the problem is the weak security of the SERVER"
Pay attention to the "can do things to the server it should not be doing" bit. You did say it.
1.To observe secretly with hostile intent.
2.To discover by close observation.
3.To catch sight of: spied the ship on the horizon.
4.To investigate intensively.
So, if I discover anything by close observation or through intensive investigation, it's spying? Ha. I guess I was spying when I fixed that broken server at work then.
The thing about comparing old games to newer games is that older games had really really simple gameplay. New games have more complex, difficult to master gameplay.
With old games, it's simple to get a hang of the game. You can pick it up and go. Now, with all the improvements in graphics and AI, developers feel they have to do more in order to sell their games.
Would you really want Pong or River Raid be re-released today except with better graphics? It wouldn't stand a chance, except for the nostalgia factor.
You forgot voice recognition, being able to graphically surf the internet, various multimedia stuff (dvds, mp3s, etc), and a whole bunch of other stuff that's possible now.
If "efficiency is everything" mentality was still around, software would take a very long time to develop and most would not be commercially viable and you'd never see them.
Swap cool new games on floppy disks?? Ha. There's no way to compress all that music, art, and video down to that level.
It amused me that this post was immediately preceded by this one:
They are lying.
This is just a plug for more resources. Do you really believe they would publish this if it was true.

No. Stupid people should not be allowed to use cars. People should know how to use cars, not how to accelerate and drool. Stupid people driving a car are hazards to the rest of the driving world. They wreck mailboxes, they kill babies, they break cars, they waste auto mechanic time, they cost taxpayers money.
If stupid people were kept away from steering wheels and stayed at home in front of a TV set where they belong and left the driving world to those that understand it, things would go smoother, there would be less computer problems, far less accidents, much less auto mechanic time wasted, and tax payers would save a lot of money.
I fail to see why cars should be dumbed down for the dumb. It makes no sense.
Technology always increases at an increasing rate. While the "double every 18 months" is arbitary, stuff does get faster, well, faster. This is the law of accelerating returns.
What if a powerful organization was able to convince ALL major search/indexing companies to remove their listing for a given site?
For all effective purposes, unless it's very heavily promoted through other means, it will cease to exist on the internet (unless you already know about it).
It's hard to buy in bulk less powerful computers nowadays. Dell pretty much only sells midrange to top of the line computers. Good luck finding an older P3-500 or whatever.
Sure, your basic consumer-level apps are better on Windows than on Unix. Unix really isn't a desktop OS (yet). But in the workplace where engineers need real power, unix can't be beat.

My ass is more insightful.

You can, but no one really wants it yet, thus not commercially viable.
$ make install
You "did everything just as he wrote it". And tried to add a package. And it didn't work.
How in the HOLY FUCKING POOPING SHIT are people supposed to fucking help you if you don't provide more information than that??

Don't understand your car?? Go fuck yourself.
Kurzweil would argue differently.

You left out the software industry. And when e-books take off, the book industry. And got knows what else in the future.

Why on earth would they care about you, the average person? Give me one good reason.
Uh, who's saying it's ok? More than half the posts so far have mentioned exactly what you've said.

Obviously, you've never signed a lease agreement. You can't just "move".
So they expanded a little too much. That doesn't mean that they still aren't very successful.
Artists don't get much money from albums. Only a very small percentage of artists are succesful on the scale that you mentioned.
If you don't want it, don't buy it.
If I offer you a floppy disc for $300 and you pay for it, I don't think that's stealing from your pocket.

What does a lack of marketing activity on Debian's part have to do with not having "market share"?
They still occupy a certain percentage in the market.
Actually, getting true randomness isn't necessary. All you need is unpredictability and unrepeatability.
I'm not sure who told you that you "have to accept Christ into your heart", but it's sure as hell not necessary to becoming a more spiritual person.
