I'm not convinced about Rust for an OS kernel (there's a lot more to system programming than the kernel, though), but at the same time there is no question that C has a lot of limitations.
To anyone who wants to build their own kernel from scratch, I can just wish them luck. It's a huge project, and I don't think you actually solve any of the really hard kernel problems with your choice of programming language. The big problems tend to be about hardware support (all those drivers, all the odd details about different platforms, all the subtleties in memory management and resource accounting), and anybody who thinks that the choice of language simplifies those things a lot is likely to be very disappointed.

Level 3: Within known, limited environments (such as freeways), the driver can safely turn their attention away from driving tasks, but must still be prepared to take control when needed.
Level 4: The automated system can control the vehicle in all but a few environments such as severe weather. The driver must enable the automated system only when it is safe to do so. When enabled, driver attention is not required.
Level 5: Other than setting the destination and starting the system, no human intervention is required. The automatic system can drive to any location where it is legal to drive and make its own decisions.

>planned obsolescence
Really? My 2014 macbook pro still runs like a champ.
So like what Microsoft did with DR DOS?
>Who knows?
Then I guess your posts can go right in the garbage.
Ok, what things did they say that were false?
>Why is the USA different in this regard?
Because there is no second, third, or fourth ISP for most people.
For example, at my house AT&T is the only ISP available.
Yeah, the mid-terms were just a taste of what's going to happen to the Democrats.
Content producers should legally be required to be separate from content distributors.

Yes, your statement remains wrong.

>do not tinker under the hood, don't use Linux professionally, and don't run servers.
I do all of these things, I still don't whine hysterically about systemd.
You forgot to yell "Get off my lawn!" while waving your cane.
Too bad technology can never, ever be improved once it has been created.
>Well, I am not anonymous
Do you really think using the username 'linuxguy' is that different?
Nobody knows who you are, you are as good as anonymous.
>Words have meaning
Yes, and you're getting the meaning wrong.
>Secured was never ment to mean 'Encryypted', it was ment 'encrypted and you're talking to who you think you are'
That's still encrypted.
>No doubt you'll mod my post down to -1
As it should be, because you are utterly retarded.
More than one person visits Slashdot. It is possible for different people to have different opinions.
People have been doing this since the Raspberry Pi existed.

Because there aren't "student jobs", there are just "jobs".
>That's why this "living wage" movement is so dangerous.
Yeah, we can't have people affording food, housing, medical care and transportation.
Um, that's exactly *why* he's posting as AC.
>Obama's fault for not trying to appoint anyone to the Supreme Court.
You forgot your /s. It's hard to tell you're being sarcastic without it.
There might *actually* be some people who don't know that Obama has nominated a judge and the Republicans are the ones who refused to confirm him.
