Uhh actually if this was the official Amiga actually developing morphOS that would be true MorphOS is just an Amiga clone.
The scary thing is that this got created by a bunch of people to be a clone of an operating system that was part of some intellectual property that has changed several times in the last few years, and has no new software, lousy hardware, etc.

Because Amiga aren't doing it the way BeOS did. Its completely different, scalable, and optional.
Plus Amiga ren't going to spend all there time writing drivers to get there OS to run on Hardware.
3) dead kitten AND live kitten (superposition) and superposition of dead and live dog
The only reason you get superpositions is because you haven't measured the state yet, as when you have a kitten and a puppy (in separate sound proof boxes of course.)
Without looking in the boxes you can't tell whether the kitten or the puppy are dead or alive.
(obviously if you forgot to put holes in the box so they could breathe, they'd both be dead.)
By opening the box the kitten decides whether it is alive or dead and the same with the puppy.
Which asks the questions.
Can you use animals for quantum computing, or are the costs of feeding them too high?
and
If a tree is in a wood, and no one is around, is it still standing or is it falling down or is it in a supositioned state, until someone goes to look at it?
And of course then you have to ask if you don't know nothing about anything does anything exist?
Correct me if i am wrong but all distro's use the same kernal? So wheres the problem. Its like saying KDE vs Gnome is bad.
I think the media has just got used to its Windows one GUI fits all, one solution, one company, one standard.
In reality Linux will do well because of its Flexibility, for idiots like me, learning Linux i can install RedHat with its pretty GUI install. For someone setting up a highly customised server they can mix and match.
Linux's Flexibility is its strength. Uhh and they haven't got all there eggy weggys in one basket and they haven't counted there chickens.
It frightens me that anyone could brand anyone a potential killer especially, a school branding a child as one.
I can't think of many places where that kind of thing is legal, but i have no experience of America's Laws.
I fit the profile of a potential Idiot, uhh actually forget the potential part.
Services like this can be used to find the nodes in the internet as well, generally, all traffic at some time will get routed through a very busy node, and if a hacker knows where to focus DoS attacks they can take down serious proportions of the Net.
I think a while back Nature published a paper to the effect of this, with a topology of the internet. The main thing to come out of this study was that the internet is fairly robust and secure unless those seeking to attack it know the busiest nodes to attack.
So what we are getting is a way to discover the weakest points for free, hence anyone with enough knowledge and motivation to do so can seriously damage the internet.
What it all comes down to is Do you really need to know where your packets go? With the Legislation introduced by the government in the UK, its all rather academic considering they are allowed to peek at the information anyway. And as far as i know there is no way to reroute your packets to take a specific route.
Basically it comes down to being a waste of bandwidth and resources, and a potential security problem.
Ahh ha No, Quantum spins have only two positions clockwise or anti clockwise, its all very digital too, if it isn't going clockwise its going anti clockwise its either one or the other.
What you thinking of is the fact that both spin states can exist simultaneously, which means the processing power increases exponentially as size of processor grows.
The way they've done this so far is by using a large magnetic field and radio waves to control stuff, much like the way NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) works and they have managed to do calculations using algorithms using 4 molecules. (i think it was caffine or something.)
The processors will be entirely unlike the ones we have today, its not going to be a block of silicon, it'll probably be a thin slime of gel trapped between two plates of glass, surounded by a massive magnatron or something equally strange.
The thing to understand is that it probably isn't the best implementation for a chip because of the way it works, so expect to have an AMD 20000Mhz and a Quantum chip FPU
Damnit you obviously got a good computer, just waiting 40 seconds for my windows box to boot is forever, running any programs takes a good 30 seconds to load if i'm lucky, and i got myself a 900 mhz duron et al, runnign linux it still takes time to load, so unless your running, win 31 on a beast i can't see how you have don't have the time to wait.
Everyday i work i have to sit though annoying progress bars that take half an hour to fill up, installing Frontpage 2000 takes about an hour!
On my computer at home it takes 5 minutes to download an MB of data from the Net, I have to wait plenty, I want to swap computers with you now.
/* For a start there's the fact that for Joe Sixpack and his family, installing and configuring software is a task that they don't want to be dealing with. */
snip!
They probably don't want to worry about who to vote for either, or worry about paying taxes, or worry about where to send there child. But they have to worry about these things.
But they are willing to let someone else take control of there computer the same computer they ahve invested a couple of grand in, yet they won't invest a couple of hours to learn how to use it how it works.
I disagree, Subscription may be a way to dumb down the population to computing, But i think we should drag them into digital sentience kicking and screaming.
# You start letting someone else recompile your kernal, and your children will be next! #
/* There are precedents for subscription-based services out there, and if the software business handles this right, they can do the same.
There is the cable service lots of Americans already use */
snip!
And also the satillite TV/Digital in the uk, theres a lot of subscription services, but they all have one thing in common. A very small minority of the population use them.
Why? because We already ave to pay £100 for a poxy tv license i don't want to pay an extra £20 a month to get extra rubbish. I can't afford extra rubbish.
So what happens, you have sucessfully alienated 90% of your market because they don't want to use a subscription service.
So what do you do, you keep non subscription and subscription, Now that is just a little pointless no?
of course never underestimate the momentum of Microsoft. (despite the recent flagging of late)
/* This is the way forward, and it's not something to be afraid of. What people always forget, is that TCO is the only thing that matters. By having a regular upgrade/subscription cycle, we have the following: */
snip!
Your working on the assumption of hard working, straight up and down software companys that believe in producing a good product, that people want, and will use.
If we look at Microsoft Office, On subscription we suddenly have to pay extra for Office 2000, we have new bugs, that weren't there before, we have more bloat so our computer run slower, we have all these extra features we don't want but we get given every upgrade. So really what weve payed for is the priviledge of having to Upgrade Hardware more often and have different kinds of Bugs than before, and an increase in the amount of useless stuff.
Who here finds that Office 2000 does anything they need to do that a poxy 5 year old version of Microsoft office can't do?
So what it will do is just invite companys to be even more lazy, if you've got a subscription then you have guaranteed income, apart from that it adds the holy grail of 100% registered products,
imagine the joy of all that extra demographically aimed crap landing on you.
Subscription is Like Communism, It would work in an Ideal World but not in this one, because the people who have the steering wheels are motivated by greed.
Sorry But it can't be done, (though that never stopped them before) there is no way a new series can be done without a radical departure from the Genre of StarTrek, the reason?, The Fans, the people who watch the show know more about it that the writers, of course they might just find a crack in the event horizon, that leads through a worm hole, where the quantum coefficient of tachyon burst g-boson wavicle particles has been altered by subspace harmonic quarks, that allows them to come up with something remotely original. But then again we know this is only possible by using a disruter field reconfigured to run enertia less singularity pulse fragmentation scans of the continuum particles created by an emergance Folon particle from the corona of a Red Giant.

What a bunch of wasted effort.
Give me more of that Propaganda yes, It feels so good, so can it really be wrong.
Are you sure it isn't a way to make you cringe, by waiting for 5 minutes to download a 5k website?
