What you say is all true. However, when I post a question, and you reply, I assume you're answering my question. Furthermore, I assume you've read the thread, so you're replying in context. So, if you answer my question (how is the parent post's statement possible) you're explaining how it's possible. But you didn't explain how it's possible. Hence my reply.
Sorry for any inconvenience, I just realized all of this while reading your post.
But that's completely different from what my post's parent said. He* said: ``all the CPU all day long''. That's not ``100% CPU in short bursts'' as you said. What you describe can easily be done on a server: give the interactive process the CPU when it wants it (can't be very often on a server, eh?) and use server scheduling the rest of the time.

Really, duh. Do the other moderators have a crush on this user or what?
Sure, just like every other red-blooded/. reader...
But you never said ``a useful upper limit'' or ``a better upper limit''. You said ``an upper limit''. You can't blaim me for replying to what you said (especially when I'm going for a funny mod).
Why does an interactive process want to use all the CPU? I'd guess a user could only load a decent app up to 15% of modern CPUs. After that, the user simply isn't physically capable of moving fast enough.
What about running DNS by free market? I.e., have multiple top-level arbiters for different DNS systems. Then, users and websites would select the system that had the best reputation, and that DNS system would in turn be able to charge more for registration.
None of the world's great philosophers discuss one's work as being at all relevant to life.
I'd say this is more an argument against the world's great philosophers than against life. In any case, if my work isn't even relevant to life, why should theirs be?
patent protection gives the little guy with a good idea a fighting chance against huge companies, who would otherwise just copy his product.
If that's the purpose, Congress should direct that no patent lawsuit may be launched by a corporation with more than 100 employees. Oh wait, that's the same thing as outlawing patents, isn't it....
That may be true, but it still would've been better if he'd make a bigger deal about the lisp roots of the thing. May help it ``escape the computer labs'' and all.
A web browser is very well suited to navigating hierarchal documentation structures
Bullshit. Just try going to the end of a section and hitting <space> or any other `page-down' command. Congratulations, you have now discovered the first difference between a web browser and info.
In any case, if you really do hate info, go look at GNU's online documentation. If you want, you can also lobby your distribution to include these files in their packages. (Oh and btw, texinfo will also produce pdf, ps, etc. if that's what you want).
You have to be careful doing this, though. I relied on that trick to get my keyboard (and monitor) to work for several years, but as the keyboard got dodgier, so did the rest of the circuitry. Now, simply nudging that computer will shut it off. It's completely worthless as a laptop.
Yeah sure, she's the only chick on/. with ``yes I'm a girl'' in her.sig; but then, she's the only chick on/. with `` is a guy'' in other people's.sigs. If people regularly questioned your gender (say, because your journal is anti-porn, and people think all guys are pro-porn) wouldn't you feel annoyed and/or insist on your real gender?

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is the difference between SysV init and the alternative (I'm guessing BSD init?)?
That's what Debian's for!

No, IIUC, this feature's match on the NT side was already in NT 3.51.
He said that formulas that are only approximately correct cannot be cited in proofs. What is so hard to understand about that?
We already have an upper limit on p(n) where p(n) is the number of primes less than n. It's n.

Sorry, I missed this part. Where is this?
Heck, most people on here can't be bothered to read any of the article, never mind the whole thing!

s/real/really/ twice, s/good/well/ once. That's three errors, but I don't see the fourth error. What is it?

If she were working for the porn sites, wouldn't she be posting links to pages with ads on them, not just pictures?
This is her hobby.

Except for those of us who can never get the hang of vi keybindings.
Actually, for us emacs users it's reasonably easy to figure out. But then again, we're known for being weirdos.
Well, info is a stand-alone shell command. So, you'd have to use lynx to prove your point.
Also, if you mean the Info in emacs, that's a standard package, while w3m isn't. So that's a difference.
