More responsive loaded webservers (less "slashdotted")
BTRFS is good enough to be an "advanced" Ubuntu install option
Multiple Virtual Machines will run very memory efficient (making Linux the undisputed VM host of choice)
KDB thing will help the increasing kernel improvement rates afaik.
So 3/5 affect this Linux user. One more will help increase the pace of advancement (and maybe pull me into kernel debugging). This sounds like a solid "big feature" set.
Hmm, I don't have this problem with Ubuntu. If something happened, I can visit their web site to get a new install medium as well as be able to use it as a recovery disc to get back old data (both Ubuntu and Windows data).
This must be a legacy Windows problem. I expect it to continue to a point where any Windows OS breaking will instantly require a new machine purchase, as that's the layman expectation now.
Actually with OpenGL in phones, you now use their sound & input methodologies.
As WebGL advances (you know more will use it than Linux gaming directly or the phone-native stuff soon), browser audio & input will put OSes on the same footing if they give browsers what they need.
PROVEN Cancer causing agent == Sun? What about sunblock? Those "active ingredients" rate worse than the Sun.
Only Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide seem ok b/c those don't "rub in", you stay white & pasty all day. Forget waterproof.
Has anyone tried Grand Central Dispatch with C (via LLVM)? I'd like to see it investigated before wandering in another direction as we are finding that Apple has done great research in performance for other areas (startup).
Same thought from the negative side: ARM will soon outpace X86. Then noone wants to run a slow Windows (Desktop, Laptop, Server).
WinCE is useless. They can't fix x86, so either modify arm to get Windows(x86 compatible) on it, or get a great arm implementation of something (CLR).
For ref, their dual 1.2s outperform Intel's dual 1.6 in a power & size range so small that they already beat the biggest Intel servers at price-per-watt and rack space. And they're getting better, even rivaling gaming 3D which has limited uses in processing as well.
Anything that millions of tax dollars build in secret should not be stored on a machine that accesses the Internet.
And this is how it's done. I've fixed complex 100+ PC networks that intentionally have no Internet connection. No Antenna + No wire == safe.
Think embedded keylogger that sends results somewhere online for starters.
Although it could be as advanced as a router that's been taken over and allow full remote access to the intranet the PC has. That way all the complex theft software is external.
And ofcourse it could monitor activity & brick the motherboard if someone was trying to detect it.
Actually Dell is key here:
> 50% (near 60%) of Windows sales are from Dell & they're comfortable selling Ubuntu. So:
A. MS can kill Dell's Windows sales via licensing and have the most successful PC producer shipping Ubuntu by default
B. MS can play nice.
C. Dell can slowly increase Ubuntu sales to improve negotiation for Microsoft's licensing costs!
The best health care doesn't make a national lifespan longer, it makes [death less painful, death slower (at best)].
The focus for a useful lifespan must be on what "average" people do that risks their health.
That's why I'm all for the "BSA", that organization that prosecutes companies using pirated software. MS started it, but it's the fastest way to be rid of them.
Pointless, you still need an ISP connection into another country. Although that's true in Sweden as well, they have not only their own citizens safe, but probably many more multinational ISP connection possibilities.
Copyrights & Patents (in America) are gov's answer to "Encourage science & the useful arts" (Congress mandate per Constitution), but distribution is fast today. Would abolishing Copyrights & Patents better "Encourage science and the useful arts"?
Lets say they completely win this one and no one can ever hear/see media without paying full price per person per view for "their" content. Copyleft will become huge! Most importantly, pirated Windows will be eradicated and those unable to buy the full version will be forced into Free software. Further, this will strengthen non-MAFIAA market for music & movies & games.
I encourage you to determine what list of features are important to you in those programs, then "Shop" for applications with those features. The free Lotus Symphony and OpenOffice are taking on Microsoft Office, and image editing tools are available as Gimp but also 100s of smaller apps and my favorite, the command-line image editors that you can apply to large image groups at once for common activities.
Everyone outsourcing software never wants to talk about support. Bugs happen, and if the original writers aren't available to fix them and terrible, uncommented code must be fixed by top-dollar engineers within weeks of delivery, what was gained?
That's also another plus for the programming style of 1 big function with few GOTOs. Object Oriented's little functions all over the place have a higher penalty.

Wait a minute, don't these machines scan everyone? This has already happened.
Best idea yet! Mod parent up. In our under-budget times, out-of-the-box thinking is valuable.

Phoronix.com has BtrFS (with native compression) beating Ext4 in most tests & all the SSD tests.

Austin copied it, and the effort was widely recognized as absurd. And these were on quieter roads.
Trust air gap!

For varying definitions of "hip", I agree.
However, if ( "hip" == an awareness of their options ) then yeah, Microsoft isn't winning over that group.
That's why I'm helping Wayland. Wherever FOSS has only 1 option, it's ripe to for new technologies to come along & exploit its design imperfections.

There's an example online that uses zero JS or flash but has all the fallthrus necessary to play in most environments:

So the world *should be* flat. . . (since we first perceived it that way).

All & all, I'm indifferent for good reason.
