Oh I know what a microkernel is alright. Either they're pathetically slow or they aren't really a microkernel. Like NT, which was supposed to be a microkernel, but they put the GDI in kernel space on NT 4.0. So it's even more bloated than a Linux kernel.
Actually you are pretty much wrong. It's just that the community is nice enough not to actively prosecute these cases. Under the GPLv2 you're supposed to release any derivatives of the code. The fact that it's a loadable module is irrelevant. If that was true then the GPL would be useless. The fact is they directly use internal kernel functions.
User space is different since it's similar to using a web server or whatever. You only access the kernel via the interrupt system and the internal kernel source code does not need to be exposed.
They aren't. It's gonna be worse. Since the OS is gonna be BSD/Apache based it means even more of the manufacturers won't release the drivers back into the open which means upgrades not made by them will be impossible.
As if an OS based on Java apps wasn't slow enough, now we get an OS based on Javascript shovelware.
This seems kind of like a kid's pet project. One of the kind you find in the open source world quite often. Yet another desktop interface with no apps for it. I still remember this on Linux. We had the Y Window System, Fresco, and now we had Mir and Wayland. All have gone basically nowhere.
Face it Google, Android is already entrenched, what makes you think people are going to rewrite everything to satisfy this Javascript urge?
It only makes sense if, like others said here, this OS was meant as an hedge in case Oracle won the Android lawsuit.
The microkernel itself seems to be an idea someone came up to make this buzzword compliant more than anything else.
Maybe not but the idea makes sense much like FreeDOS and DOSBox makes sense. Windows isn't compatible with itself as it is and we'll be able to use less and less old applications and games in it as time goes on. So having, say, a Windows XP, and a Windows 7 compatible OS/emulation would be nice.
Which "professional-grade" 3D software are you talking about? What do you think the major studies and effects houses use as a platform? There are plenty of options on Linux including Autodesk Maya or Softimage.
But you have to pay a shitton of money to get the license. Well a shitton to a regular person anyway. If you can afford to manufacture one of these chips the license cost is probably a drop in the bucket.
I've personally made home DVD videos and even done them as a work for hire, for private and commercial customers, and I never added any encryption to them.
TSMC is used to manufacture Apple and Qualcomm CPUs. They also manufacture AMD and NVIDIA's GPUs. Most AMD's CPUs are manufactured at Global Foundries yes.
BS. I know plenty of diabetics which were never fat at all. Plus you get fat by having a high caloric intake. You get fat regardless if your calories come from fat or sugar or whatever. Diabetes itself is measured as the amount of glucose on the blood and that comes from carbohydrate consumption. Having more fatty tissues in your body makes you more insensitive to insulin, which can supposedly lead to diabetes, but consuming fat per se has little to do with it, the problem is elevated caloric intake. There are also plenty of people "reversing" diabetes type 2 with high-protein high-fat diets with even better results. Google 'ketogenic diet' and 'ketosis'.
The only reason doctors recommend diabetics not to consume fat is because diabetics typically have higher sensitivity to cardiovascular disease. But that isn't an issue if you eating fatty rich fish because of the lipid profile.
Did you read about what happened to that sapphire glass company a couple years back? Apple made them sign a deal that they couldn't sell their glass to other customers.
No. Complex carbohydrates increase blood glycemic levels as well. It is just that the spikes themselves can be more dangerous than the high sugar level on the short term. But in the long term having a high blood sugar level will lead to complications like blindness, kidney failure, and heart disease.
I think looking at what countries with high longevity and low levels of disease consume makes sense. And it is clearly not related to an Asian genome or something given that Icelanders have a Caucasian genome and much the same applies there on salt. Salt certainly raises blood pressure, but if high blood pressure causes heart disease or not clearly depends on other factors as well like the lipid profile.
Not really. It's a fad as well. Japanese and Icelanders are quite healthy and they consume quite a lot of sodium. As for whole grains carbo-loading is a cause of diabetes. Plus whole grain based diets cause rickets.
That's because they live close to the sea and they eat a lot more fish. There's plenty of evidence that having a high sodium intake isn't a problem as long as you eat plenty of fish, especially fish loaded with fish oils, with it.

You need 120 fps because the batteries currently last too long. That's why.

Sure thing Uncle Stalin.
"Good" is relative. I think Cthulhu would be a better candidate.One is a fascist and the other guy used to work for the Rothschilds.
Since the Rothschilds have been getting out of the woodwork, again, better get ready for an intensification of WWIII..
Let's just enact martial law nationwide. These dangerous things named "streets" are places were criminals can meet and gather.

Which administrator is getting the kickback from Microsoft for this particular choice?
I did use UAE, snes9x, MAME, and UltraHLE though.
I've personally made home DVD videos and even done them as a work for hire, for private and commercial customers, and I never added any encryption to them.
That is another matter yes. But at least you could play decrypted videos once the patents expire.
How long until the MPEG-2 patents expire so we can have DVD playback?
They're a chip manufacturer but they don't design chips. So blame whoever designed it and worse still whoever decided to put it in.

The ISP is still going to be crap.

Worse of all they didn't allow whole milk with these changes either. The change seems merely to be that 1% can now be flavored.
