That would be porting ALL the API's of all the other OS's to a single OS. That would be much more feasible. If one OS can support all the API's, then that OS can run nearly anything.
But first, we have to pry the API's out the hands of the OS vendors.

Oh well, We have to eat and by god, might as well do it right. Might be able to cook it on an overclocked K6. What do I preheat it to? 3-D rendering on 3dsMax? Compiling the latest Linux kernel? or do I have to go broil and load Windows?
And the kernel is the most promenient feature of the Linux OS.

The truly universal Operating system. Everything running under everything else. No Windows, No Mac, No Linux, No Unix.
I actually like that Idea. I wish I could mod that one up to 5 right now.
Problem is with the existing legacy software. To truly get everything working together would be a monumental undertaking. All OS kernels would have to have a general OPEN set of common features that all of the programs could use. The Unix's of the world already have that for the most part. Win And Mac would be some of the biggest kernel changes. I haven't played with Be so I can't talk about them.
If I had any sort of pull with the OS companies and with the Unix Community, I would push for That.
Let's see, I can sue Walmart, Eckerds, Osco, Walgreens, and all of the other pharmacies because the pharmacies sold fen-phen.
I can sue any distributor becuase they sold a product, that was illegal, or could have been a knock off, even though they didn't know about it...

ATM's are hooked to the branches computer which in turn, is hooked up to the banks main computer. That computer at the central location, is hooked into the PULSE, MAC, Cirrus, or similar system. Those groups already know your bank and account numbers along with the pin.
You slide the card in, punch the pin, do your transaction, the ATM goes up the chain where the clearing house to verify if all the numbers add up (Correct Pin, Acct, balance..).

Ok, I have looked over the list and barring a few points here or there, generally what they say is true.
I think this should be taken as a challenge.
This list here points out what MS thinks as Linux's weaknesses with the OS when compared to NT. If the OSS community erases most or all of these weaknesses, then we will have won. This list is a lot of what Corporate America (which usually runs the company, not the techs) wants when they look to purchase a system. If we can provide that to them, then they will switch.
Everyone here should consider this the wishlist. Look to trouncing the numbers that they say NT puts up. Find ways to overcome the weaknesses. When we do, and we will, Microsoft will have nothing to say
Competition is good. We should thank them for an eye opening to what is wrong with the system that we love. We like to win and they have set the standards on which we can.
Hmm? Glass On Golf Courses? The "glass" in the carts are usually lexan that absorbs nearly everything. The glass on the proshops is similar to auto glass, that is, it has a coating on it that will prevent it from going to pieces everywhere. It still suffers from the same harmonic resonance shatter. It just won't go all over the carpet when it breaks. But it will if the speakers keep sending energy into the pieces.
The windows will shatter because they are pretty brittle. Once the frequency hits the resonance of the glass for a second, it will shatter. The walls are so anchored and screwed down, the resonance will affect a small area and then dissipate. The glass cannot do that.
I got a set under my seats in the car. Unless you mount them into the floor, they just vibrate. They do work well and at least Aura says that they are for bass reproduction only.

The US courts have held that the term public domain as something that can be used by all with no, or near no, restrictions. Parks are in the public domain. GPL'ed software can be considered in the public domain also since the author, although retaining the ©, has said "here do what ya want with it but make sure I get credit for it".
