not impressive at all, they they only run on x86 (no RT yet) and they DON'T scale from the embedded device all the way to supercomputers. (windows embedded != windows). their careless coding is a portal for malware that costs billions of dollars in damages.
decades ago Unix, standard open API and portable C provided a superior solution to your imagined "sames applications" running on wide range of devices.
sounds like you watch too much of certain tv sci-fi. We already do matter-antimatter reactions, you get gamma rays and mesons. you cannot even accelerate to light speed using the products of the reaction.
you already don't own your "possessions". The U.S. government can confiscate your land, money and all else and assassinate you. no trial, no warrants. oh, and we'll be needing to see your papers, citizen
why worry? most people don't drive vehicles in the "pickup truck" or "van" form factor, it doesn't matter what gas mileage that form factor gets in the big picture
Is there any emerging technology on the horizon that wouldl cause a radical change to core Linux architecture, or do you feel only gradual evolution will ever be necessary? for example, absurd number of cores, massive number of personal networked devices, huge array of analog to digital or d to a for augmenting human senses, etc
that would be *favorite* apps, the everyday always-used apps. I'm a systems op and developer, but at my home desktop & laptop have: firefox, thunderbird, pan, terminal, open office.
ten is an absurd amount I have at work in a windows vm because I'm a systems admin
are *any* operating systems (the kind that run on real bare metal) written using C++ or similar language? just saying there might be good reason most are written in assembly, C, Forth, Pascal, etc.
every coerced "defender" in your (and my) favorite fiction is made so by an "attacker" who is basically acting as the real world male assholes who are power and wealth grubbing scum. war, it's a male thing.
but this goes even beyond war to occupations like firefighting and police. they lowered the standards for females they do have. for example, my cousin had to carry 250 lbs. dummy up and down an extended firetruck ladder, maybe one in a thousand or less women can do that. would you want a firefighter who *couldn't* do that?
that's a load of bullshit, we already can make functioning nuclear weapons and moreover can accurately model the behavior of our aging stockpile with supercomputers. The NIF does not replicate the conditions in a nuclear weapon, an H bomb uses lithium deuteride which is transmuted by neutrons from the fission trigger into tritium and deuterium, and then x-rays from the primary are used to make a plasma of hydrocarbon foam to put pressure on the TD mix.
nonsense, after four decades and billions of dollars of cold fusion research the only thing discovered is vague evidence of possible unaccounted for heat that has the most likely source in phase changes, galvonic action and absorption of gases in solids than any nuclear process. cold fusion, if it happens at all, won't be useful for powering anything but rather a curiosity like the occassional atom that gets transmuted in your body by neutrinos.
nonsense, you can have all your favorite programs listed as soon as you click "start"
the fact is microsoft has once again done "UI churning", making pointless changes just to "have something different". Like their insipid "ribbon", these changes only impede productivity and alienate the installed user base while adding nothing of value.
and another thing, the real world has oceans, lakes, rivers and creeks that can drown and kill Guess what, I played on and in all of those in my childhood. sometimes kids die from those...oh well
why are you bemoaning an imagined problem because fantasy and the real world don't conform to your expectations? There are some women warriors in the world, sure. but not many. most have the good sense to avoid that occupation like the plague. most women don't think it's cool to destroy, be violent, maim and kill. or to start a war to plunder or expand power. men are different in that regard, on average. get over it, we really need less of that kind of "empowered" women and men on this planet.
oh, he wasn't talking about a spent fuel pool, but a "pool reactor" like TIGA. Those have "5x5" fuel assemblies with 3m long rods, that's still going to be hundreds of pounds, but swimming down to the running reactor will ruin your day so never mind about lifting one

sure, "plenty" of people may drive them, but it's not what *most* people are driving. Look to Dept. of Transportation statistics for that. Toyota #1

you do know that's just a graph of the browser types that visit wikipedia?
great answer, that there now IS an OS project using c++, didn't realize Haiku was
20% of a market share is a big enough chunk to help move things along. Combine that with Chrome's 30% market share and HTML5 support....
you left out the best phrase: "and from Mars"
not anymore, that ended four years ago. toyota corolla now
how many slashdot readers have an extra $1,000 laying around to blow on software? I don't.

it is? 95% of people are doing to be using either Debian or Redhat based desktop, not much fragmentation there.

bullshit, I have *ten* on this windows 7 box I have to use at work for MQ, vmware, & office apps.
That's way more than 80% of windows users would have anyway.....
cars suitable for average daily use by more than half the people with that kind of fuel efficiency have been available for decades.
