POSIX is *a lot* more than just a few system calls. The userland utilities and the filesystem layout are a *BIG* part of it. Please cut it out with this "windows has 'POSIX' too" crap.
Why should I give a shit about market shares? Linux isn't about "winning", it's about making a good operating system. If you want to improve it so it's better, then fine. If you want to change it just so it can attract idiots, then whatever, that's your perogative. Just don't expect me to change what I'm doing.
Clearly you are not very familar with the linux (or OSS) community. Ever notice the wide range of opinions concerning things like design, inclusion policies, licensing, etc? Have you thought what would happen if you tried to make all those people share a distro? There are plenty of flamewars already, do that and the community would tear itself appart. New distros don't pop up for the hell of it, they pop up because people want something that fits *their specific needs*. Their needs are often unique.
People need to get off this whole idea that linux is about "sticking it to the man" and that it needs to change in order to get better marketshares, just for the sake of marketshares. Linux is meant to be useful for people who want it, if it's not for you, then who cares? We're not out to become rich billionaires by toppling microsoft and apple, we're just making a nice operating system for ourselves. This is something the majority of the world can't seem to understand.
Why the flying fuck would you want to put javascript in a PDF!?! I personally consider it a feature that my PDF viewer does not support such absurdities.
My naming scheme is female AI's and/or robots:
Major (Quake 3 bot), futura (robot from Metropolis), galatea (living statue from mythology), shodan (from the game System Shock), glados (from the game Portal).
That won't work. The top section of the typical highschool class (at least when I was in highschool, 2-3 years ago) is already in competition to become better than their peers. it's the bottom half of the class that doesn't try because they know they can't beat the top half (this is where I was), or they don't care/can't for various other reasons. Offering money to kids already trying to be valedictorian or whatever isn't going to motivate the majority of the schools population.
Well, yes and no. I agree with the pricing stuff, they could definetly be cheaper.
However, the TI-85 was actually discontinued several years ago in favor of the 86, which was in incremental improvement. Unfortunetly the 86 has also been discontinued (they were both really great calcs though). The current lineup is the 84+ line, which is the successor of the 83/83+ line. Very little has changed from the 83s to the 84 however and they are still priced similarly.
There is of course also the 89Ti, which is in a league of it's own. The 89/89Ti, 92/92+ and v200 are all m68K based (no, they can't run linux...), the 83/84+ lines and the 85/86 all use Zilog z80 chips....yes, I'm a calculator nerd.

Bleeding edge != unstable. Just a little sharp sometimes...
FC6 was what? Two years ago? Don't get me started on the issues I had with kubuntu 7.04 man...
Apple's apparently weak business model is not a valid legal defense.
The trolls, do not feed them.
Clearly you have only been exposed to some *very* nice tap water ;)

I don't know about that, I have the same thing with my ATI card using the radeon driver. Not just in KDE4 either.
I got mono one time in highschool. Oh wait, no I didn't... :(
Cripes! And people say linux is complicated!
That's rather interesting, I wonder, have you tried riding a motorcycle?
1. You are parked legally
2. Everybody else has these "tickets"
You've never been to Philly have you? Hell, I hear they even have a TV show about those ticketing madmen now...
*WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH*

If only it actually worked that way in practice.
Mod parent and great-grandparent up, most people don't realize this but it's true.

That is a cheap graphing calculator!
Why was this tagged "redtitle"? I've seen people mention red titles several times but never have titles looked any different from normal ones.
It's not about innovation, it's about evility.
What the hell is a "3DMark"? It sounds about as objective as a bogomip.
