no it wouldnt..the software you use would not be certified. only certified software is allowed to be *sold*..which is different from open sourcing a clone of it for your private pleasure.
yep...i can second this. i used to inhale coke..usually 6 cans at a time until i quit cold turkey and i got bouts of dizziness..lasted around a day. Now i inhale orange juice and if i quit i dont get that kind of reaction. go figure.
No we havent. look at the kernel list archives..linux may be based on 1960's UNIX but the design decisions are very much 98-99's. Linux kernel design has learned and improved upon much of the mistakes of past unixen and other OS's. We may not be EROS or microkerneled..but the old designs made by people who knew theory and practice are a helluva lot more reliable IMHO than most designs we could come up with today..dont forget that a lot of smart people have tweaked and improved on the old designs over a span of 40 *years*...and most of those people were programmers who knew what the hell they were doing.
it wont work cos : [a] How do you test different SCSI drivers -- add 200 scsi cards to your system ? [b] How do you test filesystem drivers ? create n filesystems ? etc..etc.. regression testing is ok for standalone programs but since we have no generic emulator for all the hardware we cant do it on the kernel.
and the UK military which enforced the seperation of ireland into two seperate countries is nhot tyrannical ? perhaps you would like to stand in front of a 20mm cannon on a harrier jump jet or be killed by cluster munitions...but then again i suppose you think the military is democratic. remember this : the military enforces government rule -- it does not practice democracy..just brute force.
My reaction time is pretty good, ive driven for a long time (>10 years now) and i *still* feel nervous in certain situations with a car. i can still break out into cold sweat when cutting into traffic coming off a rotary (or roundabout in the UK) especially with fast freeway traffic. And yes, i do this every day and it still scares the hell outta me..and no, i havent got into an accident..yet. Anyway, improvements in public transport are a helluva better than forcing satellite tracking to mionitor everyone like big brother..hell they could use engine governors instead of satellite tracking.
yup. and besides, userfriendly is cute and iliad is, IMHO, damn creative at what he does. lets get a life people -- stop being such politically correct whiners.
netscape on solaris, irix or linux displays PNGs fine you dimwit.

stop being an arrogant prick. MPF im presuming is referencing the microprocessor forum : http://www.mdronline.com/mpf/ its a seminar like event where mpu papers and stuff is presented.
im not sure the Jane and the "moving outside our universe" bit in xenocide could have been converted into a non cheesy special effect...its very difficult to recreate a non existant time/place visually and to give it realism...besides, hollywood screws up everything it touches anyway.
sourceforge does web hosting. i wasnt aware they automatically mirrored all freshmeat submissions...IMHO, i dont think they do. Anyway,/. should be giving to the community by providing services..not throwing money at some projects just cause they want to. if you have 100K to waste, the least andover could do is build some stuff for everyone to use for 100K..something like metalab for example.
i was there and i didnt use the portable loos...just used the one in the penn station a coupla blocks down..very few people actually used that one sinc ehte main station entrance was closed (but the side one wasnt). other than the cold, times square was kewl.
i've used internet2..theres nothing really on there and most of the systems bar outside access anyway, just as in the old ultra secure "we are a military net" arpa style days. You can check it out at any large university...most of em have inet2 in their high performance computing labs with their 64+ cpu fddi connected supercomputers tied into it for NSF timesharing purposes.
how bout contributing $100K to freshmeat so they can mirror all the opensource projects on their site ? That way, if a website shuts down we dont loose that project forever...and its a helluva lot better than giving it away for nothing.
This has been hashed b4 countless times. To recap : [a] Perl is a quick hack of a shell scripting language that has grown exponentially by adding crap to it. [b] Java is a properly structured OO language that requires massive CPU power to do anything useful, hotspot VM engine or no hotspot engine.
In short : [c] If your project is really small (think search engine/ website candy etc) and runs on shit hardware choose perl. [d] If you have a large maintainable project to write (think large banking app) choose Java..and your hardware better be decent or else.
If youve used a sun disk array you will know that its on a fibre loop with a serial fibre cable. The cable and array is relatively cheap (specially an old sparcstorage FC array) and if you have fibre, bandwidth is not a problem. parallel fibre on the other hand is a pain.
its called function creep you twit. By the time you get to protest it, it will be so common place that there will be no one to back you up. The war will be won or lost *now*..not when it becomes mandatory.
The real problem with solaris is unclean unmounts (i.e. reboot if the CD drive gets stuck to remove the CDROM or use a paperclip - solaris CD's getting stuck in drives is a well known problem), crappy socket handling (running Sun's javawebserver in the background and trying to kill it will lock up the HTTPD and admin ports in your machine (9090,80) -- quick fix - reboot) as well as other frustrating problems (pull out keyboard and replace bad keyboard/mouse - machine doesnt respond to new keyboard/mouse -- to fix - reboot). My linux boxes dont have any of the same problems..but keeping high uptimes on Suns is frustrating.

and how bout opening the slashdot input queue ? So everyone can at least read the stories that dont make the front page.
true. i dislike badly structured languages. it leads to badly structured code. so ?

rpm.org anyone ? and srpms contain source, rpms spec is published, the RPM code is GPLed. Go hang yourself from the tree you used to write this post.
