AmigaOS compiled its OS to RAM before running and my grandfather used to hunt gophers on the moon.
AmigaOS is one reason I am big on open source software. Version 3.5 was unstable, nothing I could do to help, little I could do to even draw attention to the bug. Thats also why I don't like paying for software. Free software does nothing to ensure I don't get burnt by bad software, but at least I don't have to pay for the privledge of a year of unstable computing.
By the way, tried out linphone, dial by ip doesn't seem to be an option. This SIP stuff seems to fit my definition of needing "wacky servers", which I said I wanted nothing to do with upfront.
Well, the concept that calls between users being free is a special case was kinda disturbing. Calling it cellphone quality was outright disturbing, since I rarely see cellphones performing decently. POTS calls would be a truely extraneous feature in my opinion, one I don't want to deal with. And you seem to fail at your own subject line.
Ignoring all that, I simply like the percieved security of knowing the code I run is sanely auditable. Skype has lots of hype, lemmings are running off cliffs en masse to use it, I'm just more cautious about that stuff. I've been burned several times by horribly flawed closed source applications, I wish to avoid such hopeless burning sensations in the future.
Or are we going to follow a car analogy where we can replicate it at will, but it'll keep getting rustier and more out of date until we end up with landfills full of anachronistic crap?

If Slashdot would get with the now, you'd have a number of CSS stylesheets to choose from.
I've always wanted to be the iPod on the grassy knoll...
but look at the banners at the top and right of the the slashdot page you nit
Am I supposed to see ads there?
They must be really small or something, its taking effort to find them. I don't see them.
Ohhh, they have that big slashdot bit up top, they're advertising themselves!
That doesn't bother me too much. Kinda fits in with the site.
Pedal powered difference engine still booting up?
We love our two minutes of %50 off though!
No no no, they can track the cash implants via satellite. Buy your stuff with shiny rocks!
Bad grammar is for fuck-wits.
:-)
And, uhh, my sig is pretty good grammar given the Japanese source.

Wheres the source?

You fail at open source.
Teach me how. :-)
Its failed me a few times...
I just want a simple multiplatform opensource dial by IP voice chat program without the wacky servers and fees.
Yeah, Intel is good at not supporting stuff...
Really.
Yeah, total shame they abuse ads like that.
:-)
No wonder I missed it.
Better yet, how fast can it download binary Gentoo packages?
(Runner up is the kid who steals a chocolate bar then says "But dad, you steal cable")
If only they went a tad farther...
Angered father retorts.
"Now I steal your life!!!" *STAB* *STAB* *STAB*
Announcer: "Obviously stealing cable leads to lesser offenses, buy cable or we'll take your candy bar!"

I'd be terrified to put an Amiga up today...
Dasher would be cool.
Well, how long until GnomeCubes appear?
I get that line fairly often, is it revenge for successfully blocking all the ads? (they flashed too much, I had to)
Tracker refresh is set to a half hour on the torrent I'm on. Pathetic for a small torrent like this.
Small dot?
Thats onea them government UFOs!
Really, they're planning to strike against a Taliban base on Saturn!
