    It's kind of like a reality conversion layer. It has to be stored in one place to be a tangible currency to be traded with another tangible currency.

    If something has a tangible value attached to it, and is being deemed a form of currency, it's property in one form or another.
    Let's not try the hippy mentality with something like this. That ranks right up there with saying "pot wants to be free mannnn, give me some".

    That's why you don't store your funds you desire to be protected within a bank not insured by FDIC.

    No, you'd be coding in C.

  8. Re:Learning curve is a 80 degree gradient on Aging Linux Kernel Community Is Looking For Younger Participants · · Score: 1

    I'm no kernel code developer, but I'm a systems engineer with light C/C++ experience and that is the reason I stopped contributing to the Gentoo community as well.
    While they don't parallel in many ways, the team thought process was kind of the same.
    I created full documentation on logical volume management installation with raid setup and so forth during Gentoo installation from scratch and it amounted to them saying to learn their documentation coding language and put it into that. I had other things to do aside from learning a language (some odd hybrid SGML that wasn't well documented) that I'd only use for that purpose.
    I used Gentoo for a bit after that but it got to the point of not compiling cleanly due to dependency issues which told me the package management system was suffering the same issues as the documentation more than likely. Haven't really used Gentoo since 2005 for those reasons.

  9. Re:It's a bloated mess. Who wants to work on that? on Aging Linux Kernel Community Is Looking For Younger Participants · · Score: 1

    Well, to be truthful it's a bulk of modules. The main kernel isn't any more bloated than any other Unix operating system with safeguards and security code within it.

    Saying someone has to be mentally ill in order to be effected by motion sickness is like saying a person needs to have physical issues in order to get into an auto accident. It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense, whatsoever.

    Get off your high horse and read the article.

    The constitution in no way says what the government can do, since there are ammendments along with something called interstate commerce.

    It's something people assume of left-handed people. Most of the time it's assumed that left-handed people are libertarian or liberal-leaning political individuals, which automatically means that the person making the assumption is a right-wing political individual. That bias automatically boils down to "different == sinful/evil".
    It's kinda cute :-)
