You seem to confuse selection in general with natural selection. But the major driving selection force in humans, and probably in any mammal population, is sexual selection... To show off. To *demonstate* that you are a surviver.
On order for you to be succesfull you do not only have to stay alive, but you also have to get some offspring. So a fat, ugly, stupid and uncharming person might very well stay alive in our world to day, but (s)he's surely not going to (on avarage) get as much offspring as an fit, beautiful, intelligent and charming person. For example it has been show that tall men get more children that small men. This way the population will continue to evolve toward what is considered attactive and successful.
Not very likely since a massive star is short lived, and wont travel very far from it birth place in its short lifespan. Since a massive star obviuosly needs a lot of material, it cant very well be found outside a galaxy.

Well... if everyone ran OpenBSD, there would certainly be some "user-friendly" tricks to make certain procedures earier. Like running programs directly from an email client. Or perpaps there would popup warez-sites for OpenBSD, where you could download the new "cr4ck patch 4 Ph0t05h0p".
OpenBSD is secure *by default*. OpenBSD is not secure if subjected to braindead users, who thinks they know better or just dont care, as long as they dont have to type a password.
Yeah.. I do think a diverse environment will be more secure than a OpenBSD-monoculture.

911 is something the general public should trust. If you let it up to the providers, you can be damn sure that this trust will degrade very quickly, when cellphones, telephones at work, hotels or other places you dont control begin to cut 911-service to make a saving, by using a cheaper provider.
As I understand Cygwin is basically UNIX, running inside Windows, a reverse WINE, so to speak. But the reason most Windows-using people use Windows, is often "ease of use", AKA "we want to use Windows, even if it's totally unsuitable for the task". Using Cygwin would kinda defeat that goal. I havnt asked any of our Windows-using custumors, but I dont think a Cygwin-solution would fit them well:).
Scattered files can be a pain, agreed. However I can have Gentoo track both files and dependencies, and build with almost the same flexibility as a manual install. I look upon it as a tradeoff: control vs. maintainability.
The need for a different apache install on the same machine depends very much. I suppose however thats most/.ers have multible machines at their disposal. I have over a dozen, all combined, most at work luckly, to play with.:) (Gentoo, RedHat, Mandrake and FreeBSD)
Of course, you have to be in the habbit of working in a way which copes with the least common denominator system you may end up having to cope with. (Bloody **d *a*!!!:-))
Yeah..;) But your configure script wont save you on a Windoze server.:-(
We are in the process of migrating from RedHat with manual apache install to Gentoo with portage apache install. It works good for the purpose, namely webservers serving Typo3 CMS sites.
But downgrading a manual build install can be a real pain. Gentoo saved my butt in a supposedly trival upgrade. This happened to me on a production server running some 130 sites in Typo3 CMS. Something broke when were PHP upgraded from 4.3.9 -> 4.3.10. A quick edit of/etc/portage/package.mask, emerge -ku mod_php, and an apache restart, and I was back in business.
To my knowlegde Gentoo is the only distro that allows this kind of easy downgrading.
This is how we are supposed to "vote with our money" as "consumers". Yes, I know, it'll never have any effect anyway, but that still dont make it a troll.
Come on people, that is not insightful,.. flaimbait at best.
- Java is slooooow (yes it is, just because its a fun language, doesnt make it any less slow). It's certainly not something you would want to code your browser, fps-game or webserver in.
- Every GUI Java application feels like, well,... like Java.
- Java doesnt run smoothly on all platforms. Maybe it just me, but Java has caused me trouble on all platforms I have used (Windows, RedHat, Debian and Gentoo).
Obviously you dont know a lot about gentoo. Portage has plenty support for binary packages.
Add the "build-pkg" option on the emerge command or in make.conf, and your compiled binary will be packed in a.tbz2 archive, ready for distribution on your others boxes.
You can even make a binary package of something already installed on your system. Perfect for quick rollback in case something goes wrong. Just type:
quickpgk mod_php
if your want to make a binary package of the currently installed mod_php.:) Doesnt get any better for a corporate sysadmin.
Hey, dont take my word for it, check out Gentoos documentation on the subject.
I have the exact same in my closet. VIA-Epia Eden 533 MHz motherboard/cpu/network/vga package, fanless, a bit of RAM, a fluid bearing harddrive, Gentoo Linux... it rocks.... - Barely consumes power ~30W - It's also almost silent. - It's very cheap.

Good money... well. I finished CS-school in 2002. I get what amounts to 58k/year in US currency.

Thats for a 37 hour/week, part PHP-programmer, part Unix-admin (Gentoo and Debian) job.
Thats good money for me...
strange... I get payed good money writing PHP-code all day.
Have a look at dispatch-conf. It's much more intelligent than etc-update. Donno why it isnt default yet.
Bull..
That would be EULA at its worst.

Dumb f**k... just in case anyone is believing your FUD:
1. Running Linux isnt a punishment.
2. Gentoo doesnt "make you do everything by hand".
Now, get lost!
