The fastest growing Linux distro used for serving webpages may be Debian. I'd be willing to bet that the actually fastest growing one is either Gentoo or Knoppix, if you count it since it's not a permanent system for many people (hopefully.)
A) Is this good or bad? All those people could have spent their time better. B) Why would there not be OO, Evolution or Mozilla? The others offer some form of access or emulation, but these are just programs.
Grannies are structuring their sock drawers in XML. What if there was a single specification for OS's to use for integrating?
In any case, nowhere does it say that integration between OS's is supposed to be easy. That's not what OS's are about. An OS is responsible for one machine or one group of machines, and it's not even said that two different machines running the same OS need to be able to integrate (or, more appropriately in the context, co-operate.) This is a problem that can be (and possibly should be) solved in userland.
>It's not such a dumb idea. Many hacks rely on knowing exactly where to plant some nasty code on the stack or elsewhere within the program. If a binary provides the same functionality but with a different code and stack layout it's almost as good as having a different OS.
We could expand on this idea and create a software production system where instead of printing the image on a CD, we run the image through a random co-dependent bug inserter and then publicize these undocumented features. This way, no two systems would react exactly the same to a given virus or other attack, and all the evil hackers would soon get bored and get decent jobs.
Aha! Here we see the true nature of open source. Anyone, even an Anonymous Coward can step up and point out the errors in the source text. If this text had been closed-in-an-envelope source, we'd never even know about this horrible shortfall until some vicious hacker opened the envelope and ridiculed this error and caused the entire text to fail!
I must disagree on one part: CS has suffered from left-brainers for too long. The right-brainers are a useful bunch, and the best results come from mixing the two.
The perceived problems are actually caused by the no-brainers.
Oh yes. Ternary computing will change the world. Turn on the machine. Your GNU/Linux will maybe boot up. Hm, the program crashed because there possibly was a memory violation. Welcome the Probably Blue Screen of Possible Death.

The proper way to do things like this, if you must, to a production server is to have a similar machine that you can compile on, and then just transfer the binary over.
Opera only feeds data to Google if you have the nonregistered version and then/only/ if you have enabled the Google-customized advertisements. You can select to receive the non-customized adverts if you want to -and don't want to pay the registration fee.

In any case, Austria is hardly a socialistic country. Having a decent social security infrastructure doesn't mean the country is socialistic. You might also look at the Nordic countries for reference on the model of Austria but implemented better.

Er. They already did it.

Repeat after me: "I do not need KDE."
Repeat after me: "Okay, at least I don't need it compiled from source."
Look at Fluxbox, Blackbox, FVWM or IceWM. Or the KDE precompilation?

SOAP, more appropriately named COUP, or Complex Object-technology Usurping Plot.

Wow. This is enormously better than:
if (pointer == NULL)
{
return false;
}
Especially since you have to make sure the exception doesn't break anything in the scope.
I hope the team that programmed the original function got fired.

Er, a 'sandbag' is usually used to form a blockade or to channel something, not tied to one's back at the 100 metre dash.
For the reasoning of the cooling down ->smarting up, it's because trolls are made of rock -like silicon..

That way you can pop up a ECMAScript alert:

Ah yes. We witness this every day with the overwhelming competition for Microsoft, the oil companies, the HMO's and such entities.
This is the real world now.

It's not time-limited. Your GNU/Linux sk1LLz just weren't 1337 enough.
Socialism, when properly implemented, guarantees a job for everybody, unlike some other systems. Maybe read up before posting?
In this case, it's the other way around :)
He is not employed yet :) Besides, by your reasoning a company could let someone go because they were black.
...Is how, if they have to create a new version (this means paying people to do it) they can sell it for less..:)
