You fail to understand what i propose is different. I think of that "interface to kernel" being implemented(changed to be windows-compatible). And not to rewrite device drivers(i never proposed new drivers).
I mean a layer which can run all of windows drivers,not few.A wrapper is a emulation of API which already exists.Its like a designing a modern destroyer vessel looking like a spanish 16th century galleon.It another matter.
We need a something that allows Linux to run windows drivers,like wine runs a layer of binary compatibility. Before you critique this approach,look and count the windows drivers.
That like picking on grammar,while ignoring what the poster said. Or ignoring someone with a screename like 294283443. Maybe he doesnt intend to be a member of slashdot or comes in rarely enough to not justify membership.
Trigger-based programming? How it different then building a bunch of IF/THEN/ELSEs for all conditions(not that efficient,a lookup table is more elegant) and making the computer evaluate all of IFs? This also sounds vaguely similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_trigger
Even if i had time i deem this extremely unproductive.This is when you have something really rare and you need it.I'd rather find info on web/BT,then keep a stack of books. Buying Dead-tree books is fucking stupid,it harms nature far more then downloading the same stuff over net. Why can't we move to digital already? keep those books as CDs?
Hehe and now you ask me, What i can expect of linux,when it has such hardware support. This thread should be saved for linux zealots as a reminder. Or ask them to build a "Open-source video card" for "Open-source 3d linux games".(btw I do support open-source)
complain @wiki,I didn't wrote this. Are you claiming "Mind Control Rays" are supernatural (i.e. Non electromagnetic) or Microwave radiation?
Well,As for usual EM radiation it can be used as crude mind control by transmitting it to a special device called TV and making the people watch the screen of device. imagine that,turns out most people never suspected it and never stop watching merely switching the channels at which Mind Control Radiation (tm) is transmitted. The Cartoon Network is particuraly effective at destroying brain cells,literally training the next generation of drooling zombies for evil mind control overlords. I now must flee before the evil mind control overlords read this thread.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinfoil_hat The effectiveness of the tin-foil hat as an electromagnetic shield for stopping radio waves is greatly reduced by the fact that it is not a complete enclosure. Placing an AM radio under a metal bucket without a conductive layer underneath demonstrates the relative ineffectiveness of such a setup. Indeed, because the effect of an ungrounded Faraday cage is to partially reflect the incident radiation, a radio wave that is incident on the inner surface of the hat (i.e., coming from underneath the hat-wearer) would be reflected and partially 'focused' towards the user's brain. While tin-foil hats may have originated in some understanding of the Faraday cage effect, the use of such a hat to attenuate radio waves belongs properly to the realm of pseudoscience.

he overman is the individual who can overcome the herd instinct, who can take on values and morals not of the society. This is contrasted with one who wields power over others (although the overman, having overcome himself, will consequently dominate those who have not); the overman is about being "judge and avenger and victim of one's own law" rather than that of others or one's society.

This is the main reason we need decentralized domain names. USA is just holding too much power: " the countries could theoretically be strong-armed into complying."

you can't have absolute Word definition because someday somehow someone will use that word in new contexts and it will develope another meaning[reassigning another data block to existsing token]. What etymology does is only separates tokens into smaller/archaic tokens,it isnt meaning what they can represent combined or modified.
