And what is done with these constituent atoms? This material has to be taken care of somehow, it doesn't just magically disappear with a sprinkling of "nanites".
OK, so what do you propose that these nanites do with the snot and other body waste that accumulates on your body? Make it disappear? Build nanobot cities out of this material?
*chortle*
I can just see it now -- pyramids of mucous and urea built by nanobots all over your body...
Yes, this is probably off topic, but there are tons of religious linux themes possible: Atheix -- for the non-beleivers. Catholix -- the choice of the pope. Baptix -- for all the PWT south of the mason-dixon Islamix -- middle eastern distro. Buddhix -- what is the sound of one hand booting?
You must not know much of what goes on in some of the internal units at Compaq, then. Just because every service is run on something other than linux doesn't mean that compaq support for linux is lacking. If anything enthusiasm among the engineers is quite high.
Since people like to print stuff, because it's handy (I can't quite take the PC into the bathroom and read something), people will keep on printing.
If you are concerned about the environmental impact, try using recycled printer paper. Advocate the use of recycled paper. Write your gub'ment representatives and tell them to at least legalize the farming of hemp for paper production (the process to make paper out of hemp is far better for the environment than making paper out of trees. Of course, it will be the THC-less hemp though...).
While the BSDs have been losing their total of the market share pie, they've been growing in total numbers of users. If this were not the case, Walnut Creek CDROM would be in poor financial health, as FreeBSD is their primary cash cow.
p.s. if you don't understand that beginning from the same code base and producing a different operating system is the *definition* of "fragmentation", there is no hope for you.
So, by this logic, Debian and RedHat would be different OS's, no? (keeping in mind that various linux vendors, such as RedHat do put extra patches into the stock linux kernel)
Yes processes can be patented(any thing novel and useful can). From what I understand of what you are saying in the example you provided earlier, is the process can be extracted by reverse engineering the software that handles the process. If this is wrong, please clarify.
My response was, don't waste time figuring out the process from the software that handles it, just get the information on the process from the patent on it.
Patents are public information. Of course, implementing them without a license can get you in trouble, but you knew that already, right?:)
Patents are not secrets. If I patent a process to make widgets, the information on my process is publically available.
Why steal the concept of making steel 20 times faster than before from software that handles the process, when I can get the information on the process from the patent filing itself?!?!?!

Katz, you send out more crap than a hand grenade in a sewage works.
The quantity of crap Katz spews out is equivalent to a satchel charge in a sewage works.
...considering the fact that Dell is on the Giga Group's "Vendor Watch"...
lsof - LiSt Open File Handles....
sort of an ls that gives you a listing of open filehandles, instead of a directory/file listing...
Simple! Turn the waste products into nutrients for your body! The carbon and whatnot in your waste products can surely be converted back to glucose!
And the energy to convert these wastes into glucose is going to come from where?
Burn it into its constituent atoms, of course
And what is done with these constituent atoms? This material has to be taken care of somehow, it doesn't just magically disappear with a sprinkling of "nanites".
And do what with that waste? It has to go somewhere. Are these breakdown products just going to go * poof * ?

um, gee, you think they ain't going to use a firewall??????
You may want to try the "Clue-ster bomb" since you'll need to hit many targets at once...

Also keep in mind that Carolyn Meinel and JP himself are under suspicion for HFG's NYT hack...
Then why have laws at all? Why not have mob rule, or better yet, let the police just indiscriminately execute people they suspect as law breakers?
Evidence to support this veiw?

Why not install both. This way you can compare them side by side, and figure out which is more to your liking.

Yes, and the most anti-MS organization, Sun, bought the rights to it, and conveniently decided not to release it. Pretty kewl, eh?
Um, tell me, how many alphas were sold with VMS on them?
Not that I lean one way or another, this doesn't prove that the BSD folx started it first.
Where is it?
Check out this story on the register... It sounds like Intel was more bone-headed than bullying...
Coca-Cola's secret formula is a trade secret. This is far different than a patent.
And Transmeta's patents (and patent applications) are public information. What they plan on doing with them is, um, secret.
