Things I learned from 1984 (not stated by Orwell by the way)
Beware of O'Brien (Implies reading man's and info's and html's to stay ahead of the bastards who tell you they're on your side.)
And big brother is not the gov't. Big Brother is the disorganized but effective collective of parishioners taking their kids CD's and throwing in the street in front of a bulldozer.
The gov't is just a blood sucking beast serving them.
HOME sweet HOME Oceania. When does the 13 minute hate start I wannabe obnoxiously late.
Health care yeah maybe. Who the fuck wants to live in a body that's always whining back to you about all kinds of shite it needs?
Ayn Rand/Orwell aside, the gov't is not Big Brother. WE ARE when we are too scared to read an article that disagrees with us, when we wait for news to slap in the face instead of giving it some thought and realizing how fucked up the media really is, when we're more afraid of being assaulted than living a life as numb-souled husks gasping for air in towns where there's a church at the end of every damned street.
Nuff Said. Unless you're a busy surgeon, hamburger flipper, etc. if you ask a question that has already been answered in a way that generally applies to all questions of the same kind, read damn it.
We're not your babysitters. Be an adult.
Second, stop being a crybaby no monster is going to touch you Workstation source. Nothing gets changed in the kernel until it's submitted to Linus. And seriously source won't start editing itself and compiling itself, so I don't know what you're screaming about. Take a chill pill.
Lastly, do you know what a fucking kernel is? It has nothing to do with the WINDOW MANAGERS.
It amazes me how opportunity scares you freaks. You love being stuck in a stiff frame of mind.
Thank god I read when ever I can at least I'm not living in your self-created House of Usher.
I wonder WHY the fuck every source I have download comes with a file called INSTALL that tells you precisely what to do if NOBODY ever reads. (and we wonder why this country's going commie in a few years)... Hint hint: usually the same instructions apply across the board.

And indiviual programmers would have a lot of trouble turning out that infrastructure. But Sun and MS and Apple didn't do it either. It took a combined effort of many, and they got lots of money for doing it. And then they released all of their work. It was BSD who produced the infrastructure, for use by everyone (including companies). It wasn't created just for BSD, it wasn't created just for Open Source programmers, it was done for everyone's benefit.
Please, you don't have to take a course in building a bridge out of toothpicks as you make it out to be, you just have to be willing to do the work, and stay streamlined.
The structural considerations are classic cases of simple complexity theory. Just like the kernel it's not a matter of IRQs and registers and dry asm code like people seem to think it is. It's just a matter of being able to tell the difference between kernel space rules and user space rules. That's it. The only thing that slowed it down was concern for finances.
As for being sued by a company usurping BSD liscensed software and then suing anyone who has that BSD source, you don't understand the concept at all. If the code already exists under the BSD liscense, and you use it and some company who has used it in proprietary software sues you, you just have to show the court the BSD liscensed copy you used. Just because that company used the code, doesn't remove it from the public domain. Yes, they've sued for less, and yes there were 'look n feel' lawsuits. And very few of those succeeded.
Go ahead compete with the marketting demon that most companies spend their money on especially when it comes to getting things done cleanly. Sure yours is faster but nobody will use your code know that it exists or benefit from the freedom you gave them as long as MS can produce MS-BSD.
By the way for your info Linux was in a similar situation as BSD. BSD got thrown back 2-3 years Linux one week.
Game theory, simple design (required for performance), abstractable design (for simplicity in dependent programs). That's a world of difference from C++ and networking and protocols.
A game is to a CS student interested in making interactive products from Computer Based Training to Disabled Aid and Rehabilitation the same thing OS development is to CS students who want to create systems that understand standard architectures.
CVS and VSS do nothing but keep track of files. Nothing more than a database and source directories. Any OS w a directory structure can do what you do. It only takes a few scripts.
In Bazaars whatever works well wins over whatever does not. Whatever doesn't work well but is clean outlives whatever works well one version at a time. People need clear code in order to go forward. Microsoft needs its own spin doctors in order to go forward.
Totally different ball game.
You forget that just because there's computers everywhere doesn't mean that every buyer is a veteran. More and more people will get ripped off.
Speaking of spaghetti code what are you comparing Limux to?
release early is a means of destroying the myth of get the latestr code. realease often scales extremely well with the interest of the user without making arbitrary decisions about the user's expertise. I think it's just beautiful. You don't care about new documention for foo driver which has no effect on what you do, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DOWNLOAD IT. But don't tell me to wait till BSD or MS or IBM or Apple's schedule says they'll release their security upgrade.
Finally I don't know what you're smoking almost everything that I've downloaded has run perfectly (in alpha series).
Software is not Hardware. You can use half a program quite easily. You cannot drive half a car.
Sales taxes subsidize the maintenance of the State you live in. IE. I don't use CA's bonehead highway system without any exit numbers. I don't study in their education system. I don't take sadistic pleasure out of the fact that sooner or later CA is going the way of ole Atlantis ('cept in the Pacific) Why the fuck should I pay for the shit going on in other states.
I thinks it's quite clear that one thing slashdot has done well WITHOUT moderating is DEBUNKING big business plants posting on the site. They still don't get it. Only/.ers respond to each other.
Thank god^H^H^HRob this isn't like WalMart's suggestion box or USENET's junkyard.
Security is guarantgeed by the constitution, but not by providers? Fuck spammers, and fuck email requirements too. Think about it how would you stop this so called service from releasing your info. Do you honest trust that delete button?
Slashdot Mirror
Two words: Adaptive Networks. Soup Nets.
Dump a server keep the content. Just have a little faith in the Internet community.
Decrypt this!

Seriously, we need a global peer to peer network already.

there's a link in slashdot somewhere if you're interested.

Nice idea, really. I'm just paranoid regarding recent events.
CVS and VSS do nothing but keep track of files. Nothing more than a database and source directories. Any OS w a directory structure can do what you do. It only takes a few scripts.
Use HTML, Tex/Latex to do typesetting after you've done the writing.
Use WP or that Operating System and Office in one wannabe StarOffice. They're quite well done.
Or wait for KOffice.
e.
Any way this is a part of a project I'm running so we'll see.
Point the bastard at it's viewing station. Have it figure out what a complete picture of the world looks like.
Variation. Switch the audio and video cables.
Must include Pentium processor with Floting Point Division bug.
you'd know they are trying to stop it.
Home-ed isn't sexy enough for FUX.
Here's some freebies:
http://www.educate.co.uk/homeed1.htm
Read it youself to find the rest.
Monopolies use commie take-away-production schemes. That''s why monopolies are bad.
Build an online school with the same scheduling and guess what parents are going to be forced to participate or pay up.
Internet tax, Sounds like a poll fucking tax to me.
Ypu don't buy everything you see on television do you?

Now if only the Supreme Court knew of slashdot.
