khttpd, like almost everything in the kernel, is a module. It's under 'experimental', and, as such, is not normally compiled, let alone loaded. Linus himself, undisputed king of "No! Too bloaty! Take those four instructions out of my kernel!", has said that it's good as a technology demonstrator and benchmark whore. So stop knocking khttpd! It's not a production webserver or anything like that!
And besides, having optional khttpd is *not* like having the GUI in-kernel with windows. *You* try unloading the GUI from your kernel32.dll.
Microsoft is purely a monopoly. It makes massive amounts of money on its lacking products(at 40 or more bucks above the market justified price to the profit maximizing point)
Uh, if by "the market justified price", you mean the point at which supply and demand are equal -- the 'efficient' price -- that is the profit-maximizing point!
Did you ever take Intro to Macroeconomics, or are you just talking out your ass here?
Does Jon know that Slashdot at large thinks he's an idiot? Why does he keep writing this tripe? He's had some decent articles recently, and I thought he was straigtening out, but...
After almost a thousand comments almost-unanimously telling him he's a stupid troll for writing Part I, Jon Katz, in his infinite wisdom...
a) rewrites his next article to be thoughtful, intelligent and worthwhile.
b) realizes what an idiot he is, and jumps off a cliff for the good of all mankind.
Uh, no. Microsoft does not 'give [power] back' to anyone. They consolidate and control. The only reason MSIE was 'free' was because it was competing with Netscape, also 'free'. They could not have sold it.
Err... and no matter how bloated all things Microsoft may seem, they're not 'hundreds of gigs'.
If we were talking about the old-school *book* Frankenstein, then you'd be right. But the Frankenstein from *Bride of* was the same erversion of Shelley's original as appeared in the first film.
Microsoft: Raa, woo, blugh! Linux BAD!
Katz: Microsoft is wrong. Here's some good, well-thought-out reasons why, without a lot of painfully old rhetoric. I refuse to sink to their level.
This is:
Microsoft: Raa, woo, blugh! Linux BAD!
Katz: Doody-heads!
Fool! Plenty of political parties have no campaign money. Know what that means? No votes!
Paraphrasing:
Until someone comes up with a legitimate political party that is willing to do the job of governing the American society rather than pandering to anyone willing to write it a check
Until we basically have a coup ('pander to corps->money->get elected->govern the country' is broken, probably by cutting out the election part and inserting the 'right' guy in charge)...
the general public has to be want it to happen. Right now they are fat, dumb and happy with life a it is, so as a whole they are unwilling to rock the boat.
And people aren't starving or miserable.
Normally this would lead one to conclude that Microsoft is *not* the greatest evil since Chairman Mao, but not you, my intrepid fellow slashdotter!
Pah. If you all would take five stinking minutes to think about these beliefs you're so fervent about and the solutions that seem so obvious, you could learn a lot.
I don't know if a significant percentage of/.'ers have gone, but the New York City Opera has 'supertitles'. While the action is going on in badass, oldschool Italian or German, *BAM*! High above the stage (eye level for the cheap seats), Star Wars-blue titles translate the story. It was surprisingly not-distracting.
And besides, Final Fantasy will always remind me of opera houses. They'd better have opera... and chocobos... and Bahamut... and elemental crystals... and summoning sequences... and a mechanic named Cid... yeah.
Exactly! That's why Studio Ghibli consented to the redubbing of Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke), even though their distribution contract with Disney prohibits the omission or editing of a single cel of the film. The quote was something like "... all animation is dubbed, even into its source language."

Linking to a two year old story? Looks like it never went anywhere. There's *one* press release from this year:

Does this mean they're unloading it? Is OLED just Not Going To Work Out?
Stay tuned! Same OLED-time, same OLED-station!
-grendel drago
I *knew* there was a reason PA was loading slow as mole asses today!
And so on. I don't think this places Microsoft in very good company...

/sbin/rmmod bloatydriver
There's your choice. Schmuck.
-grendel drago
Compile time, nothing! What about insmod and rmmod?
Any module *cannot* bloat the kernel. Unless you count higher make-modules time and longer tarball fetches.

This must by the first time in months an AC has been moderated up to +5.
Wow. I'm not the only guy who moderates at -1...

Thank you, sir! A voice of reason! We need people like you on slashdot.

Ick. First 'mudlinging', now this. I really have to spell-check my subject lines... ah well, my point still stands.

c) posts Part II.
He doesn't even bother reading these, does he?
Sigh.
-grendel drago
Uh, no. Microsoft does not 'give [power] back' to anyone. They consolidate and control. The only reason MSIE was 'free' was because it was competing with Netscape, also 'free'. They could not have sold it.

Immortal. Right. The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire! Tee hee...

Uh, no. This is not worthy of a 'grow up':

Ha! Ever heard of Union Carbide and what happened in Bho Pal?
Of course, Microsoft doesn't do that sort of thing, but corps *can* and *do* get away with it.
-grendel drago
That's what I get for hopping on the story early and trying to get under-tenth-post... sigh.
First we get mad when MS calls us a 'cancer'. Then we call MS an evil, unkillable menace.
Yeah, real mature.
Grow up, Jon.

Not story-based:
Super Mario Brothers
Double Dragon
Story-based:
Final Fantasy
I rest my case.
