I'd prefer to pay for some applications that I use with my CPU than with cash,
Oooh my god they are going to steal your CPU! Nonsense, IMO. Snooping in your private data like some programs do today is much worse. Using your CPU for someone else's computation in exchange for a nice application I'd call it a good business. But that's just me.
Microsoft's Kernel doesn't configure itself. It just detects which hardware you are running and loads drivers appropriately. Plus the core kernel functions are there, immutable in the binary.
So the closest you could come to that would be 1) a configuration file with lots of options and *lots* of modules 2) a program that would detect which hardware you are running and load the appropriate modules.
And, basically, you already have that. At least the desktop oriented distributions come with a lot of stuff compilled as modules in an attempt to cover a very wide set of hardware and with reasonably broad builtin options. Then the installer detects your hardware and choses the correct modules.
Suppose for a moment XFree86 stopped adding drivers. Would you still be happy tomorrow if you found out your new graphics card wasn't supported?
Then you'd go talk to the developers, complaining, only to find out that a new shiny driver was there but they just felt like not including it.. just for the sake of it;-)
It's different about features but still projects like this must not stall completly _at the very least_

Yeah! See how hard it is to program in C#? Those guys keep asking more and more questions! ;-)
Snow Leopard does use canaries in 64-bit applications, which is a form of stack protection.
The link seems to be broken now. Do you have another link or relevant web search?
Since Xerox PARC.
Making a mistake doesn't make him stupid. Who knows how much stuff he had on his mind.
Oh eggy, lá estás tu de novo a desmontar as fantasias de pilinhas grandes aos americanos. Vê se cresces :-)

exactly which mainstream sites (which I assume you meant by "Joe SixPack") rely on ActiveX?
Gmail. Except for Basic HTML view.
I wouldn't mind.

[PATCH] PCI hotplug: fix up a bunch of copyrights that were incorrectly declared.
It needs to be "Copyright (C)" not "Copyright (c)" according to the lawyers
who know these things...
Oh my god... I've just lost hope in the world...
