Sorry, but you've only got half of the information. Actually, Microsoft gave up Xenix a long time ago, and all the Xenix ports to other architectures were actually done by other companies such as SCO and Tandy, so there really wasn't a lot of Unix knowledge in-house.
Regarding Windows NT being POSIX compliant: if you've ever seen the design of NT, you'll know that the POSIX subsystem is pretty much separated from the rest of the system, and it doesn't even have access to such basic stuff as networking, so adding that one was just for being able to say "we're POSIX compliant, so move your UNIX applications to Windows!!!1!".
Linz AG, the local electricity provider, sells it, but it's really slow and expensive compared to other ISPs.
The fastest thing you get is 768/375 kbps up/down, costing you EUR 69,- per month. Compared to that, Liwest, a local cable TV/internet provider, gives you 6/1.5 mbps up/down for the same money.
Another negative side effect is that certain radio frequency are being disturbed by it, and Linz AG tried suing people that put measurement results of these disturbances online.

No, Ottakringer is the right beer on a nice summer evening, simply because you can drink so many of them and will always want more (at least I do).
In all other points, I totally agree, and would like to add some other beers: - everything from the Schlägl brewery (but especially their rye beer) - Grieskirchner Märzen (wonderful with Italian food like pizza and lasagne)
It is called "WIENUX", not "WEINUX", as the city of Vienna is called "Wien" in German, not "Wein" (which means wine in German, and has nothing to do with Vienna).
Actually, I prefer GRML for all kind of sysadmin tasks, since it is especially designed for system administrators who need to do stuff like recovering broken Windows installations, network debugging, security audits of IT infrastructure, etc.
Seyss-Inquart was a puppet of the (then in Austria illegal) NSDAP and was put to power by them after Schuschnigg stepped back. You're right in stating that the people in Austria welcomed the Germans, but until Schuschnigg stepped back, Austrian politicians (at least those in power) strongly opposed the Anschluss.
I live in Linz, Austria, where the "Hermann-Göring-Werke" (a huge steel-producing factory) were (now known as "VOEST"), and the Allies (mostly US-American bombers) dropped an extremely high number of bombs there, a lot of them designed to explode after up to 144 hours. They still find unexploded bombs now and then, all over the city, and people still die from exploding bombs, like a few months ago, where one bomb exploded after building workers accidently hit it with an excavator, who were killed by that. And they had to barricade a huge area around that, because they found another unexploded bomb and feared the 144 hour timer could have been activated by the first explosion. Oh, that was the worst incident within the last year, but often enough, roads get blocked for several hours because they have to defuse some bomb they found somewhere, which happens about every one or two months or so. Very "nice".
I think bringing back Kirk is a great idea. Lets face it if a song from David Hasselhoff can bring down the Berlin Wall then a song from Kirk could easly bring about Galactic Peace!
I don't know who claimed this (probably David Hasselhoff himself), but the only reason they teared down the wall was to turn off his crappy music!
In fact, there has been a major study in the early 1980s, where they found out that blue is the color that makes people most comfortable (the target group were people working on a desk, with the whole room painted in the tested color).
And, well, they redid this study in the late 1990s, and the results for all colors basically stayed the same, _except_ for blue, which is now a color that (statistically) makes people more aggressive. The researchers presume this to have a connection with the BSOD...
Nothing, but the scope of zeroconf is to plug together two or more computers, and file sharing and network services between them "just work" without doing any configuration work.
What's wrong with a central DNS server?
Nothing, but again, zeroconf is supposed to work in environments where there is no infrastructure but a few network cables and probably a switch, and you still need a mechanism to do name resolving (and also because mDNS [the variation of DNS used in zeroconf, basically DNS over multicast IP] is used as decentralized directory service for announcing and retrieving available services in the local network).
Actually, zeroconf is more than service discovery.
zeroconf consists of: - automatic allocation of IP address without DHCP - name resolving without a central DNS server - service discovery without a central directory service
Consider this: for blood clotting to occur, one needs a dozen proteins to be present, none of which serve ANY OTHER PURPOSE in the absence of all of them. How could this evolve?
It seems you think of evolution as going only into one (or a very few directions). Actually, you have a huge diversifications, some of which are not able or less likely to survive than others, and they die then. That's the concept of "survival of the fittest".
Including such parts as God sending bears to kill little kids for picking on his priest.
I actually prefer the part of the two sisters that fuck with everyone, and then are tortured with horrible pain for doing that.
The bible, especially the Old Testament, is full of sex and crime, that's why I enjoy reading it, and I say that as an atheist (of course, I don't believe in it).
What I find funny is that almost none of them seem to be following the words of Jesus.
You are so absolutely right. And many of them do not even follow the Ten Commandments, especially the "thou shalt not kill" part. A Christian that kills (or lets kill) other people is definitely nothing but a hypocrite.
minit is exactly what you describe. With minit, I got my system's boot time from starting/sbin/init to being presented with a login prompt down to 3 seconds, with all the daemons and programs started as the normal init scripts do.
Really? Do you even *know* what an assault rifle is? Where can you buy one? Please be specific.
I know what an assault rifle is. When I was in the Austrian Army, we all had Steyr AUG assault rifles. And guess what I just saw a few days ago at Froogle for about US-$ 4000? Right, a Steyr AUG.

Sorry, that should be "down/up" rather than "up/down". Downstream is faster, of course.

No you don't. The only alcoholic drink that is actually good is the old "16er Blech".

Yeah, right. Because "inmaul" is an English word.

What's wrong with DHCP?
Nothing, but the scope of zeroconf is to plug together two or more computers, and file sharing and network services between them "just work" without doing any configuration work.

It's spelled "Rendezvous".
It's Ezekiel 23:1. Actually, the story is a little bit different (my mind isn't perfect...), but there's definitely sex and violence involved.

Please, please, please, mirror some documents that could lead to the killing of former Hitler supporters!
minit is exactly what you describe. With minit, I got my system's boot time from starting /sbin/init to being presented with a login prompt down to 3 seconds, with all the daemons and programs started as the normal init scripts do.
Quite simply, the operational details contained within this report can get someone killed.
As long as it will be Americans, I'll be fine with it and mirror the document.

No. Linux is not to be shared, either, at least not without source.
