Can Linux the OS be blamed for shitty drivers(from ATI?! big shock there to anyone with a few years experience outside of the radeon range) from another company? Besides, there are an increasing number of supported cards. Sure, yours may not be supported, but Nvidia isn't the only choice for OpenGL under Linux.
Legacy support and the fact that it is actually more secure out of the box than either 2k or XP are compelling reasons to keep it around.

Odds are, reactor control is done by PLCs, and you probably wouldn't even recognise the OS on it as an OS. After that, the interface could be windows PCs, but nothing is really at risk, providing that the PLCs are well programmed.

Do what you want, but do it for the right reasons. The consequences of many of the treaties this administration has ducked out of have started to come about, such as the weaponizaation of space by the three powers. Americas debt grows at the largest rate in history. Soldiers are dying for a war that at one point could have been justified(but WASN'T), and at this point is just a financial sinkhole which has left a thousand US soldiers dead. Internationally (even on this continent alone), we're seen as something far worse than we were four years ago. The dollar continues to dive.
If you're going to vote for those two, if the continual impulsive mistakes of that vain ex drug addict turned "born again" christian and the back room dealings of his conniving running mate don't bother you, or they're superceded by some more important agenda in your view, that's fine. Just don't vote for them to spite the people who have been paying attention and don't nessesarily like what they see.
Wha-- Why wouldn't you like MMORPGS? I mean, there's all the joy of levelling up for hours on end with all the inanity of your average AOL chatroom! What's not to love?
Just a thought, but how about the many windows licenses many people, even people who DO pirate their copies of windows, have? I know that I got XP on my current laptop (currently running Debian quite happily), and I still have a copy of ME from IBM for a long dead thinkpad, not to mention at least 3 licenses for 3.1, and a few for 95 as well.
If I burn a copy of 2k at work because I can't stand the XP UI, doesn't the fact that I've got legit windows licenses coming out of my ass count for ANYTHING?:P
Im just a musical geek girl [blackapology.com] who cant say no.

Do you realize that the statistical probablity of your existance approaches 0% based on empirical data? DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT YOU'RE AN ABERRATION, AN AFRONT TO THE LAWS OF NATURE?!
If the harley could win a race, you may have a point. As things stand, it's just an expensive, loud, slow motorcycle which has a prediliction for being unreliable.
I can't believe how much safer I feel with all those pesky non weaponization of space treaties clogging up the air. They never did anything useful anything anyway, and now we can have glorious wars in space! Yipee!
(I'm sorry, why do people want to put that psychopath back in office? Was the cold war just a failure to achieve full scale war?)
I've gotta be honest, and I could pick apart your whole vaccuous, rhetoric-filled arguement, but your whole post is so far removed from reality in all ways (Starting with your use of the word "competitive",), that arguing would be useless.
I will give you a piece of advice though: Fuck RPM based distributions. They suck hard. Debian based distributions allow you (in the extreme case of a minimal debian installation) to go from having nothing but a base text based install, apt-get install an X11 application and a window manager, and go. Nothing can touch it in terms of a huge variety of third party applications at your fingertips.
Isn't the fact that ReactOS is based on the NT architecture(an attempt to emulate it, at least) mean that it's antiethical to the cache kernel concept?
I dunno, don't know that much about the product, since freedows doesn't really exist...
Because spoiled brats turn atheism into a religion to spite their parents. There are some who just don't believe in a god, but there are many who actively try to believe against a god.
If a giant hand came from the heavens and said "Hi! I'm God!", we'd find out in a hurry where the distinction was, because only one of the two groups has any attachment to the opinion of atheism.:)
These days it's not acceptable to have a sense of humor.
Why?
Because hitler had a sense of humor, and we all see how that turned out.
Observe:
Soldier:"The jews didn't invite you to the big bar mitzvah, mein furher!"
Chancellor Hitler:"Talk about pretentious! Bastard jews, Kill zem all ven I rule zee vorld!"(giggles at the thought of killing the jews over a silly bar mitzvah)
Soldier:"Yes sir! We'll have them destroyed immediately, and we'll have the democratic government disbanded so you can begin the process of taking over zee world!" (walks off)
new dictator Hitler:(stops laughing)"Vat just heppened?"
Now you aren't allowed to laugh at stupid jokes anymore. You have to have at LEAST thirteen layers of humor, because otherwise someone might not get the joke if it isn't funny from absolutely every angle. The only other joke allowed is the pretentious "hah, I caught the reference, and it's amusing because I don't think most people did" jokes. Those are popular because in soviet russia jokes tell you(with naked and trembling natalie portman and hot grits) , but only in japan.

Tell that to S3 et. al. who can't write decent drivers for WINDOWS. :P
That's the crazyist thing I've ever heard. I'm a freaking indie game developer and I only hop onto games.slashdot.org once in a while!

OK, now let's observe.
Neither glQuake nor Quake 2 will run if you don't have DirectX installed. They use it for a few things, including sound and input.
OpenGL is just a graphics library.
There is no DirectDraw API any more. Programmers are encouraged to use the DirectGraphics API instead.
Odds are, reactor control is done by PLCs, and you probably wouldn't even recognise the OS on it as an OS. After that, the interface could be windows PCs, but nothing is really at risk, providing that the PLCs are well programmed.
Think they'll use it in 32 bit mode like NT on the old alphas?
:D
It would be hilarious to see MS stick a broomhandle up the ass of the xbox2.

Recent studies have shown that there are more pot smokers than African Americans in America.
Stupid black people, wanting equality. Society, as a whole, doesn't give a fuck about a few people being forced to the back of the bus.
Get over it. Start complying with the law, get to the back of the bus, or be prepared to face the consequences.

Heh, yeah. Stupid programmers, trying to make something cool in his spare time and share it with people.
I hope he gets the plague. How dare he do something like this.

It's a fork of the AtheOS Operating system. :)
The only difference would be that the atheists are honest about it. :P
I hope some anthropoligist finds you and kicks your ass.
Careful not to read "an atheist" as "You, MvD_Moscow". Only a few stereotypes are without exception. :)
