Software patents are never good, but if someone have a lots of patent, and never claims anyone for infringement(be it linux patents or anything else), that's atleast better..
So, we have this funny.exe spreading itself. It will(and does) continue to do that running as administrator or as a user. Sure, running as administrator it *could* do alot more damage, but it doesn't do any "damage"(wipe files, retireive protected files etc.) anyway, so for this worm the argument is irrelevant
NNTP News. Why not nntp news group rather ? Mailing lists f*cks up threading and what not. Web forums are usually slow. So why not a nntp forum, or better webforum/mailinglist and news gateways.

That's what much of science *is*. Collect data, make a theory(often a model that can describe the data, and predict future data/results), test theory... How much of that they've done, is somewhat hard to tell from the article, but _some_ it seems.

One thing I've learned about FAQs is that the writes give F*** on what the F stands for. A FAQ should answer frequently asked questions. Not what the authors think is frequently asked questions.
Put in what users ask about, have trouble with etc. not some lame questions invented as you deciede "we should have a FAQ".
I've read that. It's (legitime) rants about software *research*, which is rather specific and narrow. I'm sure he has other views as well than the "software research is dead" view.
That 'instant station', how well does that work with bittorrent, given that bittorrent downloads arbitary chunks of a file ? You'd have to wait till the whole show is download.
Bah, bring back multimedia through multicasting...

hmmm. for comparison, Fedora has released 10 security patches since ...

What about it ? services for unix from MS contains a posix subsystem, and we have cygwin.

In other words, we won't be seeing any quantum computers "quite" yet.

Big ? no. Enough small bugs fixed to make you go crazy using a -test release for your main desktop/server, yes.

Uh.. Because this is software control, and as you put it your self,
payload(sensors, etc.) are expensive.
And what about if a problem occurs that prevents sending diagnostics
to ground ?

2.0 major new features. ;)
+ they've decided to change the versioning scheme
But for those that won't wait forever. Try this.
Are there _any_ docs here ? What compiler/platform do I use to compile things ? How do I transfer/run things on an Xbox ?
This is /.
Everyone reading your post is that guy.

When IPv6 is fully deployed, and the US got a black female president that
just invented cold fusion.

These are valid points, however I'd not blame all that on SNMP itself.

Actually they're running vxworks.

What are your views on the free/OpenSource Unix like operating systems, such as Linux and the *BSDs ?

In respect to games, the OS doesn't have _that_ much to say.
It's mostly CPU and GPU burning. Quality of the GFX drivers are very important.
