The real reason was back then Minix was under a license that did not allow patches to merged into the OS, they had to be distributed separately.

I'd like to mix some proteins with the smaller chick before she destroys the world with her home cooked plasmids.

I'm a Linux guy myself but this is just a bunch of arrogant bs. Would you be able to troubleshoot AD delegation issues i a multi-tenant forest environment? Do you know differences between different patch levels of the Exchange Server? Do you know hoe to deploy, configure and integrate Lync? Are you competent in PowerShell w/o having to constantly look it up online? How Office 365 integrates with Azure cloud and specifics of how MOSI works with syndication partners? When we have a Windows problem I ask Windows guys for help.

Among other things missiles and missile tech. Iran pays hard cash for that.

The whole radiation exposure is suspect to begin with. One can surely die from a huge doze from acute radiation sickness, but chronic exposure not so much. There are hundreds of people who never left the mandatory exclusion zone around Chrenobyl who are doing just fine almost 30 years later.

If executed by a wasteful government agency, sure. With clever outsourcing easily done.
