If we go down that road, at some point in the future, people will suicide for lack or purpose or become eternal irresponsible childs. Please mark my words, date time hour and place of this statement. I can stand by it.
If an O2 sensor can randomly fail after couple years, just imagine the level of maintenance required to keep the vast array of sensors required for self-driving cars safe. You WILL be responsible for the well being of your car, and the insurance will do everything in their power to point the lack of maintenance to sue you.
But it sure will require a human operator ready to take over in case of emergency, maybe in 20 years whe the tech have billions miles under the belt, before that it would be irresponsible to trust immature technology. Just call a cab if you drink, it is cheap and it works now.
I live in northern climate, and I seriously doubt that kind of vehicle could handle the roads I drive, especially in winter. The hundreds of thousands of miles all have been driven mostly around California. I say this tech should not be ready for the public until it can handle the worst conditions (white wash, frost on camera lens, ambiguous terrain because of massive snow on the road, dirt roads with pot holes, etc...).
I had an ATI RageII with my P2 166MHz. When using hardware acceleration for MPEG(1) videos, it played with inversed hue, even the video bundled with the drivers did not play correctly.
It is sad how video cards have become gaming toys, with the "pro" version being of the same quality with some features not crippled... I remember when we had those Matrox cards to go with our video editing workstations. Those things were stable as hell. Too bad they did not do well in the 3D realm.
To be honest, it is a bit ambiguous. However you should not get your panties in a bunch for a stranger on Internet. It dont matter what I think of you, but I am pretty sure we would have fun getting around a lager.
Minix publish their source code under BSD 13 years ago (your link, second sentence). Its purpose was to provide a framework for OS programming. SkyOS is a one guy who wanted to code an OS and get paid for it. Hardly comparable.
Internet became available to the general population instead of being restrained to the scholars and researchers. I say it is not a bad thing. Maybe its time to create a new slashdot without the AC shit.
Have you seen the amount of closed-source freeware that is not worth half a cent? There is good and bad software in both ecosystem. In open-source you can at least have a say in its evolution path. Want ZFS in Windows? forget it. Want to support humonguous amount of CPUs? Windows will sell you a less-crippled version for a helty price, in open-source world artificial limitations dont exist. You can argue all you want, my actual experience of the open-source software made we want to stay, as opposed to closed eco-systems.

Sure, sensors NEVER fails... *sigh*

Slashdot: the only news website where you have reruns!
It was a 233MHz, sorry, it was in 1998, 15 years is a long time! the 166MHz was my previous pentium...
Have you tried the radeon driver?

Same licence, new name. Its more about uniting dev efforts under one roof.

Dont change the fact this OS will slowly die to abandonware unless opened.

Except it is not open source, abandoned and never took off.
whatever it does, it looks more like crawing than running.

You can, but it will suck badly. Over time it gets cheaper and cheaper to operate such simple services.
they either fly in pairs or cannot fly in odd angles ;)
Natural selection ar work...
So, putting a led in a keychain in patentable? I have some writing to do and registered letters to send.
complete nonsense.
Yes, just search plan 9 and read the wikipedia page. Effortless information tends to be forgotten rather quickly.

Same is true for Debian: Linux kernel, FreeBSD kernel, same userland. Hence GNU/Linux GNU/hurd GNU/whatever...
