A tac-nuke will kill a huge carrier just as it will a smaller one.
Big carrier has ability to deliver a strike and defend itself at the same time. Small carriers can't defend itself and strike simultaneously. Bigger carriers can launch bigger fixed wings aircraft like E-2C Hawkeye and therefore could detect tactical missiles launch or approach. Big aircrafts have air patrols and can launch more aircraft for intercepting approaching targets. They also have EA-6B Prowlers to jam enemy radar emissions. If you are talking about something as HMS Invincible - they have 9 or 15 Harriers (depending on source) and helicopters. Their main role is to defend fleet, nothing else. And British going to build CVF which could launch about 40 aircraft...
There is French Charles de Gaulle carrier which operates about 40 Rafales and three E-2C. It is a new one - comissioned in 2000. The problem is - if you want to strike something - you never have enough aircraft and 80 aircraft (Nimitz-class carrier) much better than 40.
The fact that our (US) military does not pay that much attention to survivability of ships is a sign of a trend: we are now focused on smacking around those weaker than ourselves (Iraq, Afghanistan) rather than fighting an even battle (WW2).
You know - carriers never go alone. There are carrier battle groups including AEGIS cruisers, destroers, submarines. The carriers are defended and could defend themselves. The singler player which could try to harm US carriers - Soviet Union was not able to do anything serious about it.
Is this a joke? Experts still use floppy instead of PXE Boot or CD-Boot?
Have you ever tried to do CD-boot on box without CD-ROM?;)))
Or PXE boot on box without NIC, or without PXE support?
Well, Hotmail did floppy+network install (but their customized install).
he neglects also note that BSD relies on some GNU code as well
If you are talking about BSD as operation system, than yes - there is some GPLed software included. But there is no GNU stuff in the kernel. You easily could replace GNU programs with programs with about the same functionality and different license. There is no essential dependency on GNU.

Oh, come on, try to find GPL in here:

Just better is very broad statement. Better for what?
For use as server or workstation or for use in notebooks? I found Linux have slight edge in commercial support (like RedHat X configurator, Oracle) and lags behind in many other areas.
On my hardware I have more support for FreeBSD for some reason.
we know that our contributions to the public are going to *stay* public.
That's exactly the same for BSD-licensed software.
Contributions to the public remains public. What is the problem? If somebody choose to write proprietary software based on BSD - no problem - someone's code remains proprietary, BSD code still public.
That isn't saying much. I doubt that most American's even speak American well; I certainly wouldn't advise them to try a complex and subtle language like English.
Oh yea. I read a story once about a lady in New york. She watched british movie on TV and asked "What kind of foreign language is it?"
That's the result of the BSDL. Unix probably would have won already if vendors hadn't locked up all their work in proprietary forks that have since disappeared without a trace.
Oh no. How could you tell it forked if it disappered without a trace?
That just plain wrong. I don't think GPL or BSDL force software to be forked. Developers personalities are a first class influence.
And if anything goes into commercial software in case of BSD-licensed programs it can be copied. And in case of GPLed software they can be rewritten from scratch, using just ideas..
Come up with a better name that doesn't give undue credit to Linus Torvalds, who jumped on the bandwagon 7 years after RMS started GNU.
He did not jump on the bandwagon. Linus was not interested in GNU. He was interested in OS creation. And he went straight through the kernel. That is central part of OS.
Linus used GNU tools because they were available. He might use anything else available.
BTW you may compile kernel with TenDRA or Intel compiler (on i386 architecture). You may have Linux OS consisting from kernel, init and shell (tcsh, for example) and system may be still usable. (Look ma - no hands! ) So no GNU stuff in OS is essential.
Basically we take for granted gcc is part of Linux and BSD, but in commercial UNIX world you often have to buy compiler separately and no sane administrator is installing it onto production system. GNU tools is nice to have but it is possible to replace them...
And for emacs.. Why somebody would start creating operation system from writing a monstrous editor?? Just because vi was part of hated by Stallman Unix? I don't think anybody has answer.
I have tried "Reload" and "Shift Reload" looking at the logs of my webserver and I saw the same crap... IE is still not downloading straight but asking for an updated version.
As far as I know thre were no White Russian wars. Of course there were wars over it's territory, and territory moved from one hand to another but nobody called those wars as White Russians or Byelorus wars.
People who read claim books in question have very little in common beside names and graphics on cover.
Russian author's just trying to have a cheap ride on name similarity. The "Grotter" name sounds so unrussian...

He was just playing Crazy Ivan.. He tried to impress people, not politicos. And Kennedy knew it.

Heh, Microsoft has Java VM circa 1998 - very useful ;))
Could you please list them?
FreeBSD has list for 8866 ports.
Debian has 8710 packages - that means it's no modern, right?
Or PXE boot on box without NIC, or without PXE support?
Well, Hotmail did floppy+network install (but their customized install).

Yes, you can. But you have to spend a lot of time reconfiguring system to bring it to the same level as BSDs have right after install.
That's right. Too many clueless programmers...

There are drivers: http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/ and ath driver for FreeBSD.
There are drivers for FreeBSD (ath) and Linux http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifid cards:

Those drivers are beta quality but work.
There is object file which hides radio interface.
AFAIK everything else is open.
Oh yea. I read a story once about a lady in New york. She watched british movie on TV and asked "What kind of foreign language is it?"
Proletars of all countries unite!
I'm sorry what did you say? You are not the communist?

Stallman had a dream but pretended do not notice BSD because they already fullfilled his dream in different way.
It's like to say:
Your watch is 10 times faster now - enjoy!
So you running headless then ? ;))
It's all about Netscape, you know...
Yeah. All other people are laughing out loud trying to say GNU/Linux...
People concerned with my liberty
No no no. They concerned about software liberty - not yours.

there should be other of course.
As far as I know thre were no White Russian wars. Of course there were wars over it's territory, and territory moved from one hand to another but nobody called those wars as White Russians or Byelorus wars.
That part is purely fiction ;))
Have you read both authors?

So they were challenged in Western Europe court.
