I have decades on known solutions to all our major resource problems to back me up. Clean hydrocarbon fuels from coal and natural gas have been done for over a hundred years, and many countries now getting on board with doing it. We have centuries of supply.
Making fresh water from salt water is a trivial problem with trivial solution, in fact it's ideal solar power application - infrastructure engineernig and distribution issue only.
The solution to the fishing problem is simply management, to be farming not plundering/hunting as we do now.
Known solutions, the cure to nearly all of mankinds problems. Even the AIDS virus can be made nearly extinct in one generation by a simple device that has been in use for over two thousand years.
we (the world) need the next thing after the LHC, the U.S. physics community has designs for those. Doesn't have to be built here of course, but a world class particle accelerator is pretty cheap compared to the cost of a typical U.S. major war effort.
they benefit disproportionately from war and disease, too. we should cut back on the wars and get them out of the profit cycle of insurance, big healthcare chains and big pharmy.
growth rate of prosperous population, -1%. Looks like we have a solution.
By the way, I did not mean to imply becoming a monk of any religion was bad in itself, but rather saying a certain mindset is bad when coupled with devotion to an ideal.
depleting? all the resources we "use", excluding the fossil fuels, are still on this earth. And we have sufficient supply for viable replacement for sweet crude to last centuries. No problems but engineering and distribution ones, and the "overpopulation" solves itself. Prosperity is the key, not being a man-hater.
So you drank the kool-aid, and joined the hand-wringers imagining there is some kind of shortage of anything on this world. Use your brain a little more. We only have engineering problems with known solutions. Fresh water? there is no shortage of water on this planet, it is already known how to make and distribute fresh water, and the planet will not run out. Farmland: no shortage, only distribution problems. The planet can grow crops sufficient for almost twice the current population, look it up. Energy? what a laugh, no shortage of any kind of energy. Not fossil fuel, coal supply sufficient for centuries exists, and we can change coal into any liquid hydrocarbon fuel that is cleaner than the crude based ones. We have natural gas reserves sufficient for over a century. Not nuclear fuel, the existing spent fuel can be bred into many times the original yield, and we ahve thorium supply sufficient for centuries. Not "rare earths", which are not rare at all, we only have closed mines because it's cheaper for China to produce that at the moment. Not even helium, despite the recent slashdot articles, just alarmist shill nonsense to raise prices, as helium is mostly wasted as wells are vented, and it also can be extracted from liquid air.
In short, quit trying to be a Roman catholic monk with so much self-loathing he feels the need to beat himself with a whip in the closet, you have some imagined false guilt, a psychosis.
If you're going to go by the old (and obsolete and disproved) definitions of race by physical anthropology, there would be five races. Two african ones, Congoid and Negroid; and the Australoid race.
Not true, OpenBSD does support SMP, but has giant lock rather than fine grained locking mechanism and has interrupt handling on one core. Whether that's a problem or not depends on the app. For the forking services I often write, it's not a problem. Also, pthreads are done in userland, may or may not be a problem. It has support for most wireless and usb devices. Not sure what you mean by "other modern functionality", if I set up gnome or kde or xfce or whatever on it (it can run all the usual desktops), you wouldn't know you were running a BSD until you got into the command line and poked around.
Taxes can be ultra-low without lawlessness, and piracy and looting are not "free market". We have have in the U.S. a bloated federal government that acts for a very small wealthy elite, more than four times the size necessary to carry out the duties outlined in the Constitution.
(Jedi peers around corner at dying and maimed imperial minions littering the floor in pools of blood and entrails, then stares at grenade pin still on his index finger ). "how....uncivilized". (throws pin away in disgust)
Information may be what is traded.
But self-replicating mining and factory machines can bring ship building and fuel mining costs to essentially zero. Then the only cost is time of assembly and time of transit. Maybe there is something physical that would be worth it.
because of shortage, troops were issued non p-code receivers. the standard military issue DAGR (which civilians are forbidden to own) is another matter.

The project always seems to stallman.
ah, you're correct - it's minix 2 that had the dozen+ architectures (the one I used in school). The window manager for minux III is TWM.
yes, the applications includes the small Unixy stuff but also languages (perl, python) and 3rd party sources include qemu and gtk+
But the point is, you can already have a stable production server on minux, for web or email or whatever. HURD is not even stable.

that's an excellent argument for colonization and empire-building, would be the best thing that ever happened to the shitholes of the world
prosperous human populations have negative growth rate, that's a fact.
I just *knew* a bukkake joke was possible, thanks.

inode id: no Luke, *I* am your father!
you can divide caucasian, asian, african.

success means having descendants that survive. your argument fails.
Race already over, Minux 3 has been out and done for two year already, it can run on over a dozen architectures, and has X11 and over 400 apps.
if you need a microkernel and some POSIX, there's minux 3
wildebeest pun be that one?

It's only racist if it insults brown people. Now stop with the excuses, and paint your roof honky-colored, cracker.

that logic, that system, employed by many states for traffic matters, is evil and wrong.
