I never said "Monad is better because it has an object oriented design", I might have suggested that there are easier ways of doing piping than parsing text output.
A different kind of direction might be to make sed, ls, etc have a way to output in XML, so the shell could be given a better way of understanding the output, this is a relatively easy thing to do.
With your line of thinking we'd all still be using anything but assembler, if abstraction is not your thingie, then maybe you shouldn't be around computers.
While you are trying to be funny, you are correct,
unix does need a shell like monad I'm afraid (hence ac)
What monad will offer is something like
>ls -l | head -n 10 | sort size | excel
They are piping objects, we would need to do a lot of parsing to achief the same effect.
Someone really needs to write a new shell for unix and abstract the unix system, by giving it knowledge of the common unix tools (parsing the output for the user), like ps, ls, sed, etc.
and what also must not be taken lightly, is the fact that there has been a massive jump in the amount of people gaming these days. WoW is just an example of that.
My personal belief is that the "al-qaeda network" is no more than a figment of western imagination, created to give terrorism a face that really isn't there.
I agree with this statement, but my belief goes a little further. This "terror attack" is a major part in the global attack on freedom/privacy, led by the United States of Corporations. Bit by bit we are taken from it. I hope people will listen very closely when they hear them announce the counter measurements that will result from these attacks.
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. --Franklin D. Roosevelt
Anyone who thinks the switch to Intel is all about cheaper components has surely lost their mind...
Especially when IBM is opening up the power core architecture completely, this seems more and more like an open vs closed hardware battle. Apple has always been about closed hardware, deal with it.
What a person consumes is irrelevant, at what speeds a file can be copied is irrelevant. What is relevant is how fast processes can migrate to other nodes in my openmosix cluster.
I can't help but wonder what longhorn will do to make it need minimum specs higher than even Doom3. I mean, will it be doing like 32X anisotropic filtering, 32X AA, trillinear filtering on turning windows in 128-bit color or something?
I've always thought that technologies of the future would look like magic to our current minds. Like how a set of fire matches would look like for a caveman or how a television set would look like for someone from the middle ages. So I strongly believe in nanotech. Growing a house would seam like magic to me now.
I believe that when you design a decent GUI for a website, 3 clicks to go anywhere comes automatically. And 5 to 9 options, totally depends on the targeted visitor of the site and the nature of the site.
The "typical linux user" would have to put the script on the hard disk, do a "chmod +x" on it and THEN he could run it. A "typical windows user" wouldn't have a clue on how to do this. Plus in linux one should be logged in as a user, so this script could hardly do any harm. Plus most linux distro's ship with 5+ different e-mailclients to there is no "let's write a virus that attacks all linux writers through e-mail", as opposed to the dreaded outlook express.
bye bye claims;)

Think away the excel part and all that I said is still valid, so I don't see your point.

Want to be famous ?
Here is your idea.
Exactly,

Nono, XVID it is then.

_Now_ we're talking about something dead.
Nono, "It Just Works", as in "we didn't bother looking into security".
Funny, I'm a gentoo user, and I use the same argument against a friend of mine, who is a LFS user.

Recap: IE starts rendering after it downloaded everything between <table></table>. That alone makes it slower than Mozilla/Opera.

I'm there...
Well, in Europe we have those things in every museum ;)
lol, idd i saw it too late. It was already posted. Not everybody is an american/brit on these boards, weetje wel.
I'm guessing this is just a move to position there "java desktop system" above Solaris, confirming there linux path.

is American "justice" in action. Standard procedure for an big American company to start suing people/companies they did business with.
