Perhaps it would be better not to sentence innocent people in the first place. It's pretty hard to argue about punishments as long as you can't even trust the system with that.
It's exactly this type of cross-platform thinking that kills PC games and makes consoles attractive. Hey, why use DirectX when you can just up the hardware reqs and run it in the browser?
And on the other end, are you seriously planning to run a 3D game in a browser on a phone?

Or, MS-DOS isn't indexing my files, grabbing my RSS feeds, making snapshot backups, checking for updates, seeding the iso I downloaded using bittorrent, compositing a desktop, staying logged into chat applications and folding a protein for science in the background.
And none of these are more important than my time. Sure, they're useful to have in the background, but the priority should always be where the user's attention is.
your desire for a slightly better performance
I don't care about performance, I care about UI latency. Whatever I'm doing at the computer only I use is by definition the most important job the computer has at the moment. Shame nobody in the OS design business realizes this.
even the most bloated (cough, Vista, cough) perform acceptably
Waiting half a second for my keystroke to appear in the text box is not my definition of "acceptable". Neither is booting in more than 3 seconds.
Think about it: we all have supercomputers now. While I was writing this post, my computer executed more than 500 BILLION instructions. There should be no need for me to wait for it.

My laptop is 40 times more powerful than a supercomputer when I was born. Is it unrealistic to expect it to display text as fast as I type it in?
Also note that the.torrent file does not contain enough information to verify the legal status of the content. My guess is they download everything they suspect might be theirs.
If they do this, does that mean they're wide open for countersuits by anyone uploading their wedding movies? I'm guessing their death will be quick and painless, seeing how they must do willful copyright infringement on a massive scale.
That and it's a genuine concern in business- apparently when they ask "what if I forget my password" the answer "then you try to remember it or your data is gone" isn't acceptable.
Isn't that the whole point, that people without the password won't get the data? I know business can be retarded, but come on.
I believe the proper procedure would be to ask the boss to open the vault and get the only written copy of said password out, followed by paperwork.

Just because a network isn't on the internet, doesn't mean it's not vulnerable to attack, especially when those nodes may be hundreds of miles away.
What exactly is the job of the military, again?
Ok, you have a closed network over hundred miles of wires, what stops me from doing a "on the wire" attack?
The fact that you're in China. We're talking about cyber attacks. For everything else, there's a rather expensive military.

1. Don't put key systems on the internet
2. ???
3. PROFIT!

Unrecognized command. Type "help" for assistance.
Most of the fun comes from guessing the available commands.
I tried "rm -rf /" but permission was denied. :-)
I almost tried that... reflexively in Konsole.
Flamewar time!

You should really use emacs.
guest@xkcd:/$ emacs
You should really use vim.
guest@xkcd:/$ ed
You are not a diety.

You should really use an editor.
that was funny. Learn from him.

This should be an ad for a university.
"Study biology and you too can get excited watching frogs fuck!"
No, but it is an indicator of UI responsiveness, which for the prospective customers is the most important performance indicator.
I wish someone could tell that to the designers of modern operating systems.
I'm serious. If MS-DOS has a faster response time on 4 MHz than your OS on a dual core, you fucked up.
or at least some enlightened puns about how to reduce the window manager's footprint!
Here you go.
That's why you attact a copyright notice allowing everyone but them to download it.

I don't know whether you meant it as a joke, but similar things have happened.

It's not that hard.
Prior art.
But how do you know before it's time to ship?
while D3D kept some stuff on the CPU.
That is a good thing if the GPU is your bottleneck.
