This "Hybrid" nomenclature really annoys me. Sure, the NT kernel is broken down into several components: HAL, "microkernel," executive, etc... however, all those components, plus the device drivers, still share address space and supervisor privileges... yielding the same issues as a monolithic kernel.
I agree. Isn't the NT "microkernel" little more than something that manages threads and keeps the other components talking to each other? Anyway, as you say all these things run in the same address space. Pretty much everything in the Executive is what a canonical microkernel OS (Tanenbaum definition) should run in userspace. And the Executive is big, it includes things most monolithic Unices would leave to userspace.
...and I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment — texting behind the wheel is a symptom of dick-headdery — remember that this is a group on Facebook, OK?

Oh, I can think of at least 50 better things to toss over.
Anyone want to try and estimate the error on that?
I'm in Europe, you insensitive clod!
What, it comes as the result of a high-fibre diet?

I can see it now. http: //hello.jpg/. Bad, bad, bad.
Are there deserts in India? I'm sure there aren't any in Romania.

Is this euphemism for "botnet"?

PostScript's not an abomination, just an anachronism. I'd like to see more printers supporting PDF "natively".

STFC. Depending on who you ask, this means "Swindon Town Football Club" (STFC offices are in Swindon), or "Screw The Fucking Collider".
Better cannon fodder.
Cheap notebook, 802.11, SSH and X.
Oh, fuck off. Bullshit its bullshit however you label it.
It's speaking the truth which is evidently too much for some types to handle. And who here was advocating violence?
No-one has the right to not be offended.
Better off trying to get hold of the attacker-supplied decryptor and then publishing the private key within it. Then again, it might just write noise.
Not more spam!
