Yeah, cause the people of Slashdot are really the target audience of the US recording and movie industry.
Getting the mainstream to recognize their rights and defend them is hard enough when it comes to the BIG rights, like freedom of speech, let alone copyright.
No, probably the best thing the Slashdot crowd can do is get more people interested in filesharing by making it easier and more reliable.
What we should have learned from the first race was that a progressive incremental architecture to get to the Moon and back with serious payloads is needed. Basically what von Braun advocated in the first place.
As a software engineer, the one thing I hate about playing the guitar is that every time I pick it up I have to tune it, otherwise I won't get the same results as I did last time I sat down to strum. Is a little determinism too much to ask?
lots of guys really do either go through a string of women, or even if monogamous, refrain from marriage because of a nagging suspicion that there might be a better choice out there. And we call those guys losers, laugh at them and move on.
Actually, I think it is because Linus has this whole "exotic foreigner" aura that Theo doesn't. Just listen to people go on about how Finish people tell-it-how-it-is and laugh at others' misfortune as a matter of culture. Call upon the political correctness of moral relativism and all will be forgiven.
That being the case, it doesn't matter which way you lean towards schedulers. The fact that you cannot quantify security is an argument for keeping it modular. Hehe, but that's the point. Don't you get it? Linus was asked to make an argument as to why he won't make the scheduler modular, and security modules were put forward as an example of why modular is good. His response? He explains why security modules are modular. No shit Mr Torvalds, now would you please answer the question?
Wow, Linus should go into politics. The point of the argument is that Linus refuses to make the scheduler modular. He's taken the argument that he isn't opposed to security modules being modular but he is opposed to the scheduler being modular and turned it around to say that he can't make the security modules not modular because there's no good metrics for determining which is better than the other. This is an irrelevant truth. The fact that you can measure which scheduler is better than another for a particular application supports the notion that schedulers should be pluggable modules.. so you can easily use the one which is most appropriate for the given application.
Blah. That's a totally backasswards way of looking at it. Why do you want to make something non-modular? Other than to make it hard for people to make competing implementations. No scheduler is optimal for all applications. You either make the scheduler modular so it can be replaced easily for a given application or you settle for less than optimal performance. Linus knows this too, so I don't know what game he is playing - probably trying to lock out that scheduler implementation that he doesn't like.

You can't have a war without violence. You seem to be opposed to violence. So, I don't know why you're advocating war.

So you're not just a child, you're also an idiot.
Great.
Sorry, I don't argue with children.
Come back when you have a grown up argument to make.
It's a civil case.
It's a civil case.
How many more times?
Yeah, "punitive" damages.
The jury obviously felt that sharing music is something that should be "punished".
Sharing, should be punished.
This is the world we live in.
Ya dreamin'.

Some n00b players can afford it, thank you very much, and would rather spend time, which is money, practicing than tuning.

it's not like it is hard to get the flv.
They want you to come back to their site to see the advertisements. Why should they make it easy for you to not?

enjoy.
Yeah, for example, they're supposed to prevent the formation of monopolies.
People in the US never seemed to have learned that lesson.
Try, and you'll find out.
What's useful about it exactly? It's not like they make stew out of those gorillas to feed the starving children in Africa.

Uhh, no. I call Titor on that idea.
it's called context my friend.
Linux is a kernel.
Linus is an asshole.

He's clearly convincing to *some* people. Typically people who have no idea what he is talking about.
