a real operating system fully manages the resources of the computer, protects one program from the actions of another, comes complete with utilities for backups/archives/troubleshooting/monitoring.
Examples of real operating systems would be FreeBSD, GNU/LInux, OpenVMS, Z/OS or Z/VM, MP, IBM i, MPE/ix
since most of us use real operating systems instead of Bill G's program loader we don't keep up with what the best practices for a non-tech windows user would be
all the people who rejected windows 8 in favor of 7 with their new systems believe you are full of shit. Major global corporations included.
Anyway, we are speaking in Slashdot from the perspective of people who mostly do not want windows with their computer, it is an unecessary tax forced by a vendor who wishes to have monopoly.
and another thing, BSD is true Unix, though it is not Unix(tm). Unix(tm) is just some needlessly complicated system V's that promote vendor lock-in, by vendors who hijacked the Unix name.
don't insult the Minix man and team, Minix is a fully functional operating system that can run real world software, for example Apache server with Perl or Python wares
A team that needs an OS to "build their OS" to run on top of it doesn't know how to make an OS
bullshit. it takes 23 steps to make windows 8 *almost* like windows 7.
why bother? just use windows 7 and be good till 2020, probably Microsoft will release something in that timeframe that sucks less when the current dumb-asses retire or die off
Some of the attackers of 9/11 were known to be terrorists and under observation by the government to see what they would do. We then saw what they did.
Corruption in courts? Bigger problem of government using its incompetence prior to and on 9/11 to justify police state behaviour.
in fact, it should be stressed that #18 commits the logical fallacy of "asserted the consequent".
much like the IPCC's circular reasoning to support their increasingly inaccurate models, for which they have recently have had to backtrack on predictions. the IPCC is nothinng more than an agenda driven propoganda organ, better climate science is done elsewhere such as by the NOAA, and indeed their graphs tell a different story of the past 20 years
They point to correlations with exactly one event, 1991 Pinatubo eruption, to claim any kind of understanding of the relationship of the UNKNOWN (by their admission) amounts of water vapor in the atmosphere with a regional tempature.
but look at the bulk of what they are saying, unknown amounts of water vapor contributing to a complete unknown effect, in short, that #18 debunks nor proves anything. If anything, it highlights the complete lack of understanding of mankind to have any manner in which to deal with water vapor in modelling climate"
"If the greenhouse effect boosts global temperature somewhat, we should realistically expect that the amount of water vapor in the air should be increasing. Similarly, if global temperatures drop for some reason (for example, a large volcanic eruption dumping massive amounts of aerosols into the air), we should expect to see water vapor concentrations decrease. In the lower atmosphere, the available data points to increasing water vapor content, but because of large variations in local humidity from day to night, from day to day, and from season to season, no-one currently knows exactly how much more water vapor is going into the air (IPCC Working Group 1 Assessment Report 4, Chapter 3, “Observations: Surface and Atmospheric Climate Change”, page 273). And unfortunately, the upper troposphere (the region of the atmosphere believed to be most important for water vapor’s effects on global heating) has no conclusive direct data on water vapor concentrations. Instead, the increase in water vapor in this part of the atmosphere has been indirectly checked by the increase in this region’s temperature."
They can learn the command line the same way people 40 years ago learned command line.
Put those students on a system that can only do command line, and require them to do things. Problem solved.
Don't pander to lazy, unmotivated fucks. we don't need any more windoze weenors trying to develop systems that run on real computers. half the java developers at my employer are totally useless and cause downtime because of their ignorance of posix systems

so quit your whining
but the UI on windows 8 completely sucks, the Mac OS X one can work for a n00b though it has become bloated over the years
we're so sorry something died in your soul years ago, and now you can only make navel-gazing extended tortured anonymous posts on a geek forum

but GNU/Linux can run Android sandbox just fine, already a done deal

It is a useless tax for someone who either wants to transfer existing windows license or doesn't need windows.
Linux exists soley because HURD has been such a dismal failure, the FSF can't manage something as complicated as the building of a kernel
Linux is the standard, the UNIX(tm) are dying off.
oh really, they click and point on 200 files because they can't do a wildcard on a command line. you call that efficiency?
no, those lazy unmotivated fucks would use a wood bit to drill metal, becaus they're too lazy to change

Wrong, the point #18 proves what I say.

let's digiize (sped up of course) that groove the same way people scan and digitize LP records, let's hear what the Sun sounds like to Earth

please provide link to the stories of those dying of starvation and malnutrition in China
that's one problem they have solved
bullshit, you are native english speaking AC writing nonsense. you are not chinese
have I known the U.S. government to tell the truth when it looks bad?
you're funny
