Oracle tweaked a 2.6 kernel? Whoop de doo, Linux Mint 13 ships with 3.2, which is at least starting from a 2.6.39 baseline. For all we know, Oracle is tweaking a 2004 kernel from the SuSE 9.1 days. And we don't know, because it was closed source until this announcement.
Microsoft has never been happy about sharing a HD with another OS. Even now, if you have a Linux desktop and you want to dual-boot with Windows, you have to clear Linux off first, install Windows, then resize the NTFS partition, re-install Linux, and use Grub for the boot menu. Windows arrogantly assumes it's the only OS on the HD, even this late in the game. If Win8 locks down the x86 in the future, you won't even have this option.
That will work until the alternative solution crosses a certain threshold of users, the founders sell out to Microsoft or Apple or Google and the new technology is monetized and put under monitoring, just like Skype and Vonage and Napster and Lindows before them. Lather, rinse, repeat.
You kids don't know how good you got it with your newfangled "punch cards". Why, back in my day we had to use cuniform, on clay tablets. The BC2AD abacus bug made your "Y2K" problem look like a glitch.
My point is that you can't sit on your butt and create the rule, like you can between integers and fractions. You have to actually go out there and see what's there. And that's not even possible in principle, because by the time you get partway down your list, some of your previous mappings are invalidated by the fact that some systems lose planets and others gain planets.
But we can't set up one-to-one mapping between the allegedly infinite set of all stars, and the set of all stars without planets. We don't even know whether it would be a two-to-one mapping, or any x-to-one mapping. Some stars might have been divested of their planets by passing near other stars. There's no mathematical rule.
I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher,
He wears dark glasses.
Things are going great,
And they're only getting better.
I'm doing all right, getting good grades.
The future's so bright
I gotta wear shades.
People don't get enough exercise these days. Win8 on a desktop with the touch interface will help you build your trilaterals. No more getting sand kicked in your face by those Apple bullies.
Civil liberties are only important in countries that are ruled by dictators we don't like, such as Syria, Iran, Russia, China, etc. But in places like Bahrain, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and other countries where the US has military bases, civil liberties are overrated.
The number of people who are alive automatically represents the number of people who can eat under the present level of technology, since you have to eat to live. If by some misfortune there were to be more people than we have the ability to feed, why, then, those extra people would soon starve, and we'd be right back at the equilibrium population again.
Actually, the stars come in on day four, long after the sun and moon and continents. Which of course reflects the Hebrew's cosmology, which had the stars as basically just decorations in a tin ceiling over the Earth, as indicated in this thing I whipped up here.

Are you kidding? If the radiation detector reaches a certain level, that means the contractor has to kick that employee to the curb and hire a fresh one. You know how much that cuts into the profit margin?
Desktops were locked down under the Microsoft Tax, Linux never had a chance. Along comes another platform, and it was Microsoft left flapping in the wind.
8 meg of RAM was the minimum requirement to run Win95, not typical, which I would say was closer to 32 meg. Puppy Linux will run in 16 meg of RAM with a HD swap file (a little slow of course) and I can't think of a more user friendly OS than the ol' Pupster.
I ordered a MK802 through Amazon, and then later I was looking at reviews and people couldn't get a web cam to work with it, so I cancelled the order. False advertising. They have Skype loaded as an app, but it would be audio only. I'll try again in November maybe when third parties are putting Raspberry Pi in a case, and then I'll load Puppy on it.

You got me, AC, I posted without thinking.

To hell with Larry Niven's Kemplerer Rosette, I wanna see W. B. Klemperer's Larry Niven novel.

So you're saying we have patent trolls asserting their exclusive right to the "look and feel" of a balloon jump.
You will be happy to know that Win8 renders the text of the Blue Screen of Death 33% faster than Win7, according to metrics obtained by PC Magazine.

When they can print a 3D cuppa Tea, Earl Grey, hot, let me know.

A GNU/Linux kernel that is libre, there's a redundancy if I ever heard one. Like Sun Solar company.

Have you ever tried to do search-and-replace with regular expressions (ie. /n) in a Windows box without third party software? Can't do it.
Put Linux on grandma's Windows 95 machine and turn it into a powerful workstation.
