Whether a web developer can write semantically correct HTML is of little import if browsers can't render it. How many web sites have to worry more about ADA compliance than being rendered correctly?
It would be a dream come true if OSS developers would support Minix instead of Linux. Then we'd have a secure robust foundation for OSS software.
Doubt it will happen as most are too short-sighted and quick to spread FUD and deride things that they don't understand (just read the replies on this thread). Turns out they're just as bigoted as MS fanboys or Mac fanboys.
However fanboyish they are, the source to QNX was not available until September 12, 2007, by which time Linux simply wasn't subject to kernel panics (at least I didn't have any, YMMD).
No monolithic kernel, no global kernel address space for thousands of people's drivers and modules to screw each other over.
Is this a problem in current versions of Linux/*BSD?
Mail after mail, Tanenbaum comes off as an intelligent gentleman, while Torvalds as a frustrated teenager.
Tanenbaum may "come off" as intelligent, but his predictions have not borne out. People did not use GNU Hurd in 1996 (or even today), nor is Linux trapped in x86, nor did Mr. Torvalds fail to get programmers from around the world to contribute to Linux. And if neither Windows nor OS X is a true microkernel (there has been disagreement on this topic in this discussion), then there has been no strong trend to microkernels, even if there is one toward greater modularity in kernels.
I'll take that to be 1992, when the Torvalds-Tanenbaum debate took place. In 1992, QNX was ten years old,and Linux was still in beta (alpha?). Gee, a ten-year old project doing better than a beta project. Who would have thought it? How do they compare today?
But how do you sell a software license to someone who already owns one? If XP were the ultimate Windows OS, then Microsoft would be reduced to making money on Microsoft Office. Microsoft could make some money on XP from OEM sales, but the OEM price isn't that high. Indeed, how would you encourage people to upgrade their hardware?
Bad in the sense that the review was negative, or bad in the sense that the reviewer didn't understand the book? If it is the former, then "unfavorable" might be a better term.
735,000lbs (mass) x 600mph^2 = 264,600,000,000 lbs x mph^2/ Divide that by 110mph^2 to get roughly 22,000,000. Divide that by 2000 (giving 700 pounds of people/cargo) to get 11,000 times the kinetic energy.
There is no specific altitude threshold that can be considered safe for everyone below which it can be assured that no one will develop altitude DCS, but there is very little evidence of altitude DCS occurring among healthy individuals at pressure altitudes below 18,000 feet (5,500 m) who have not been scuba diving.
If we are lucky, the costs are well within our ability to pay, and the constraints are not heavier than those that rational civilized men place on themselves for the sake of good order and pleasant society.
The GP in no way implied that he speaks about money.
Neither did McDutchie.
Also, the GP confuses metaphysical freedom (freedom for physical/psychological constraints) with political freedom (freedom from tyranny). The fact that we are subject to gravity does not mean that the government should pile on with the PATRIOT act, or that we should meekly buy software with restrictive EULAs.

DVI?
In Linux, alias latex to latex -no-shell-escape.

Students who do badly at math do badly in life
Maybe in Singapore, but I'm not sure about the US.
Or is Miley Cyrus a possible Fields Medalist?
I didn't see anything about the death penalty for students who did badly at math.
Thanks. That is good news, as I sometimes use MathML and SVG in the same document.
Mostly because US workers are not worth what they cost to employ.
Does that include CEOs?
Fixed it for you
I didn't even know that IE8 would be available for XP. I wonder how well it renders MathML.
I've tried it with GNU Emacs 22, but the text editing lags. :-).

Doh! I forgot about POSIX, thanks.
Of course, I'm assuming that a building that extends 500 feet underground would not be pressurized.
Of course there could be other reasons. I just picked one that coincided with 9/11.

Windows alreadys supports multiple OSes, from the Win16 and DOS subsystems to the BSD/UNIX subsystem, and also the Win32 and Win64 subsystem.
Windows has a BSD/UNIX subsystem?

And how would your average office worker know this? I'll keep it in mind for future reference.

Has it occurred to you that people might refuse to fly not from cowardice, but from a refusal to submit to the new security procedures?

Heavy constraints, such as restrictive EULAs?
