...ofcourse parent is right, but this type of argument is usually spoken when the discussion is not nearly at that level. It quenches any discussion , because no one dares to disagree. If parent want's to partake in a discussion, try to counter the argument with something more sensible and wise - on the same level as the argument-giver.

...when I logged in the first time into slashdot, back in 1997 - on my supercharged Commodore Amiga 500 - it was ubercool to write each post again, each time anyone wanted to read it (hence ofcourse the saying "first (unique) post", har har). And ofcourse it was cool to have a UID of 6 digits back then, proved you were hip, unlike all those lower digit users... Like erm... you... Ahem... Excuse me please...
Well let's see now ah, searches within his lapel cobalt thorium G. notices circular slide rule in his gloved hand aa... nn... Radioactive halflife of uh,... hmm.. I would think that uh... possibly uh... one hundred years. On finishing his calculations, he pulls the slide rule roughly from his gloved hand, and returns it to within his jacket.

You mean, people could actually stay down there for a hundred years?

It would not be difficult mein Fuhrer! Nuclear reactors could, heh... I'm sorry. Mr. President. Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plantlife. Animals could be bred and slaughtered. A quick survey would have to be made of all the available mine sites in the country. But I would guess... that ah, dwelling space for several hundred thousands of our people could easily be provided.
... but against super-cheap prices, run by slaves(very low wages, very strict time policies on the counters), and selling great deals on a weekly basis (for which great interest exists). Another company that runs pretty much by the same formula is Lidl.
...as Steve Fossett originally set out to take this journey to find a flat and long enough place to do his world land-speed record. Now Google has high-resolution imagery of the whole place, which makes the whole undertaking a bit obsolete in retrospect ?
...as seen in the last part of the video: just separated ? Simply scan your favorite photographs and resize your ex away ! Great stuff, although - ofcourse - on Slashdot this would be a bit useless;=)
... because I think that this new technology is exactly not meant for the purpose of abuse, in all its forms (alcoholism, self-inflicted injury etc.). This is ofcourse mainly an ethical discussion, but honestly: why should society pay for someone who ruined their own lives, even if healing can be 100% ? It still costs money, you know. (I know you meant the last remark in jest, but it helps making my point;)
... although large corporations will not (especially large corporations in the embedded world). They will protest and feel like they are pushed in a direction that means a certain loss. I think that is good however, because it only *seems* that way. In the end, when GPL V3 has been in effect for a few years, has covered Linux, and has dealt some blows to unwilling device vendors that thought 'they could get away with it' - but also saw device vendors that will agree with conforming to the rules set forth by V3 - the (embedded) world will be a better place.
It will mean that more developers are able to play the game of hacking a device, more innovation, more interest in beta-programs - and in the end the big corporations will benefit, because it means that they gain more employees that are proficient in their (former hidden) proprietary technologies. There will still be proprietary in a device, and it will still be hidden to the outside world, but it will no longer hinder you to use the device to its fullest.
...when I put on my steam-generator I produce heat, which in turn enables me to produce a lot of sound by using a kettle, this sound in turn will enable my wind-generator to run on basis of the vibration in the air. Thus I converted heat into sound into electricity.
I can do it even more neat: I can turn heat into electricity into sound into electricity into heat into.... - in the end there is not much energy left, but I did it anyway:=)
....that's why I not only *just* block China;=) I guess I could block every machine except those machines that match the right fingerprint. But that would cost me some work in setting up all the rules for the individual machines that need access. Port knocking is ofcourse another way to prevent problems.
...my firewall blocks China completely. If anyone wants to enter, they first need to ask politely. Same could count for other countries by the way.
This combined with severe passive OS fingerprinting delivers a good way to solve most issues (except DOS attacks ofcourse). Not perfect, but in the light of current state of internet affairs a most needed solution.
...so No, it's not a trap. Microsoft wants to become Linux. Microsoft management finally saw the light and saw that the one thing they lacked was being Linux. They will now soon announce that the partnership with Novell was not about patents, but actually about secretly starting the union with the Open Source movement.
In three months time, Bill Gates himself will be announcing his presence on the next HOPE conference, with a special speech called "Open source and I, how do I fit in, even though I know shit ?".
In other news, scientists have concluded air is water and water is air, yay.

Yes, you heard that right: for the new Kg is 20% more than the old one ! Don't you just love redefining the metric system ?
