    Which past participations? There are none.

    Not creating an account was just laziness.

    Cheers,GNU/Wolfgang

    Hi!

    Thank you. This was both clear and true. :)

    Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  3. You loose again, as there is no `HURD' on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    The following are all correct:
    - The Hurd (the servers)
    - The GNU Hurd (the same, but emphasizing that it's from GNU)
    - GNU/Hurd (the entire operating system)
    - GNU (also a name for the operating system)

    The following are all wrong: HURD, the HURD, the GNU/Hurd, GNU/HURD

    Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

    Hi! Do you have a link to that? Although I don't know what RMS has to do with the pthreads implementation... RMS has never written code for the Hurd itself (but has helped in the design and later given some advice). Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

    Hi! What you did not notice was that the comment you are replying to was not written by a Hurd advocate, quite the opposite. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

    Hi! Because I believe(d) that people are a bit more fair. It was a mistake to expect this from Slashdot, though. Fortunatly, I am only wasting time here when the Hurd is mentioned. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

    Hi! I don't think I have to note that there is no Otto (seems to be the only german name the troll knows). I hate posting Off-topic, but this faking troll did not give me much of a choice. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  10. Re:acronym on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    Hi! You must hate GNU a lot if you even fake other people and try to make GNU (and the Hurd) unpopular this way. Are you afraid of GNU taking of the world and making you a slave or why are you being to aggressive? I must admit that by posting without account initially, I made it possible for you troll to attack us this way, but I thought that people are at least honest enough to not do _such_ things. It seems I should not only expect the worst case to happen in programming, but also w.r.t. people. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  11. Re:And in other news... on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    Hi! What I said was that it does not matter whether it are 1 or 2 GB. It is a limitation and should be removed in either case. Also, I know that without getting rid of this limitation GNU/Hurd will not be a general-purpose system, but currently you won't want to run a database on it, and there is also no reason to access your 120 GB of Ogg Vorbis files because there is no sound support.... Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

    Hi! I am impressed. I first thought the comment above is again someone who wants to fake me, but I have to agree with all of what he said, though I would have expressed it differently. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  13. Re:The HURT on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    Hi! It is not only about GNU being a part. When I say GNU/Linux, I do it to remind myself and others that freedom is the purpose of the system and the reason why it was written. The term Linux alone is not associated that much with the ideal of freedom as GNU is. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  14. Re:The HURT on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    Hi! But this time, it will really be ready soon. ;) Seriously, we have been making progress recently that suggests we may become usable for *some* purposes next year. We are certainly far away from having a general-purpose system, but we think it is worth improving the Hurd because it will end up being a system that a lot of people use with joy. If we fail, then we can say that we have at least tried to do something innovative, had a lot of fun and found friends. For myself, all of that is the case already. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  15. Re:Good ! on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hi! Well, GNU Mach 1.x uses the drivers from Linux 2.0, OSKit has the driver support from Linux 2.2. We support the most common stuff, but some things are completely missing, like sound card drivers. So the hardware support is nothing to be proud of, and is also not of high priority, as it is strategically better to care about the core components first. As long as it is possible to run the systen on most computers, of course. :) Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  16. Re:My apologies to RMS on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    Hi! There is no FSF developer troll. There is only a troll faking a member of the Hurd which is itself not a troll at all. That I call myself "GNU/Wolfgang" should be considered humour, nothing else. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  18. Re:And in other news... on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    Hi! It is not really out of data. We discovered that we were wrong in believing that Mach reserves 2 GB of address space for itself. Actually it is only 1 GB. Yes, the page should be updated, but does it make much of a difference whether you can use 1 GB or 2 GB stored file systems? :) Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  19. Re:What about exokernels? on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hi! Maybe someone might disagree, but in my understanding the Exokernel project was basically a second-generation microkernel, similar to L4. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

    Hi! Good advice. It seems that for some reason, antisocial idiots always choose to attack me instead of someone else. I'm not sure if I should consider this a compliment. :) Sorry for the Off-topic. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  21. Re:Easy to separate HURD and Linux on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hi! I don't think any of us is working on the Hurd "because RMS says so". The Hurd already provides many things that other systems will never be able to to. I love being able to add root privileges to a running Emacs when I quickly want to edit a system, configuration file. This is possible on GNU/Hurd, as are many other cute thinks. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

  22. Re:Hard thoughts on GNU/HURD on GNU/Hurd Gets POSIX Threads · · Score: 1

    Hi! Currently it is not useful. Currently, other Free Software operating systems are useful though, so there is no urgent need for the Hurd. It is certainly an advantage to have a project availble that has a very different design. You never know what happens. Maybe there will be processors that can do contect switches in one cycle, then a microkernel system, would become very fast. Cheers, GNU/Wolfgang

    Above comment obviously is a fake. As it seems to be impossible otherwise, I now use an account. I usually prefer not to have to do that.
