OSX gets further along than linux not just because of one vision, but also because of one set of hardware specs. They are the manufacturer of the equipment, making development of an OS a helluva lot simpler. Also, they charge for their software.
You have some sort of day off... Set up a RAID. Or if you are too busy, have someone set up a music server for you. Working 14 hour days non-stop gets you quite a bit of cash fairly quickly.
All that being said, I make backups monthly for business data, and yearly for things like music.
AT&T said the same thing about packet switching networks when the idea was first proposed to them. But you know, they seem to work quite well.
And what would this dispersed mini-node network be but a large network to route traffic through in a similar fashion?
The difference is complete oversight by anyone over all of the code. When something goes wrong in testing a kernel, having access to all of the source code makes finding the problem a simple exercise, and figuring out how to solve the problem even easier.
People still seem to forget that when something goes wrong with MS software you still have to pray for the problem to be patched quickly. With open source, disabling or patching the problem yourself if you have the know-how is usually trivial, and you can contribute your work for the good of the whole if you so choose.
Personally, I just use windows for computer games these days.

He means that the general populace has access to the internet and is able to download a hacker made patch. I kinda thought that was obvious.

At that point I would run a traceroute.

More like 3000 feudal lords who give you the option of changing the way things are done if you so please.
