Can you show me any of these might possibly be an innovation? You miss the whole point of GNU when you make stupid statements as you just did.
GNU is NOT innovative because they have written a next gen OS or language, they are who they are because of the ideology of free software.
Learn something about what you are saying before you spout out more party-line bullshit.
And on a side note....

Because people who post to slashdot (a.k.a. slashbots) are HYPOCRITES. These idiots who are expousing Nader as a Godsend haven't even bothered to read his platform and realize that he wants to CENSOR AND FILTER THE INTERNET!
You fools! You buy into anything that goes along with your narrow worldview, and scream and shake like babies if anything threatens to upset it!
You are waaaaay off. VCR's and Betamax's were similar in cost at the time of release. The fact that one got adopted and mass-produced later reduced the cost.
BetaCam is almost COMPLETELY unrelated to the betamax format.
Think about what you post before you do. You will look much less stupid, asshole.
The incredible complexity of the PS2 is also Sony's Achilles' heel. Manufacturing difficulties with the Emotion Engine have forced Sony to cut back on the number of PS2s that will ship before Christmas -- not that a shortage has ever made any hot toy anything but hotter (consider the Furby), but, more alarmingly, game programmers, reared in a world where they only had to worry about one processor on a console, are now recoiling in horror as they struggle through the elements of parallel processing, high-performance computing architectures, and technical documentation that has been politely described as "obscure."
But completely irrelavent.
The betamax lost for one reason only, MARKETING.
That's how it works. There is a reason noone is using CP/M anymore. The Betamax had hardly any movies released.
Think about what you write before you do. Karma whoring is patently impossible since the karma cap was added. I can only lose karma until I get below 50. Got it?
Heh. Now you see what I gotta put up with every day?:) With this kind of venomous posting and cricisism, after awhile you just stop caring whether you've written something *good* or not and just post whatever crosses your mind. I think that's what really pissed the trolls off with me... even when I don't think I still manage in my worst posts to do better than their best.
Countless innocent bits have been mercilessly slaughtered
... Atleast it happened quickly. They did their work and were then quickly buried in the GND. Probably for the best... the impedance would have gotten to them eventually anyway. It's a pity though.. they had so much potential....
Some moderators rate articles not on the merits of the content, but on how much it angers them or tickles their fancy.
Why is this necessarily a problem? Use it to an advantage.. have people sign up to be part of moderator groups. Each group has a specific focus - pro-linux, pro-*BSD, that kind of thing. Be a member of more than one group if you want. The people in charge of that group are in charge of moderation for that group.. if they want everyone moderating, they can do it. If they only want a small group of like-minded people moderating, they can do that too. Form moderator "communities" and let them decide what's good and what's not.

Why is this necessarily a problem? Use it to an advantage.. have people sign up to be part of moderator groups. Each group has a specific focus - pro-linux, pro-*BSD, that kind of thing. Be a member of more than one group if you want. The people in charge of that group are in charge of moderation for that group.. if they want everyone moderating, they can do it. If they only want a small group of like-minded people moderating, they can do that too. Form moderator "communities" and let them decide what's good and what's not.
