Great we are going to have ObamaBOTs! Like nationalized robots are going to work better than nationalized health care. Are we going to have to buy Roombas whether we need them or not?

Its still going to be slower no matter what you do.

They spoke to some CEOs and favored some of their opinions over others. Did they pick and choose? Yes! Is there bias? Yes! Is there a conflict of interest? Yes!

So someone labeled me as a Troll for this statement. I decided to look up the author of the Article Elizabeth Segran. From her web site it says "She received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in the field of South and Southeast Asian Studies with a Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender and Sexuality.". She sure sounds like a Liberal Arts major to me.

Although Minix does use some of the same tricks Linux does it still has additional overhead of separate servers and message passing. L4 still has a 2% to 4% penalty vs a monolithic kernel. You can optimize it all you want but the piper must be paid and won't go away.

Article sounds like it was written by Liberal Arts major.

Because it will be slow

Minix will never catch linux. The fact is it is slow. Infact its slower than GNU Hurd (now that is bad). Even worse its run by Andrew Tanenbaum who is notorious for rejecting patches for trivial if not egotistical reasons.

you forgot to mention its slow too

Like nobody's credit card has ever been compromised on the internet before or Apple never got hacked.

Not like this won't be abused. I can see them getting pranked a lot with this idea.

Ummm..... your satellite attack scenario has a few holes in it. Orbital mechanics is well understood. Also NORAD finds and tracks items as small as a bolt in space. Keep dreaming, you'll might come up with a plan that is good enough to get yourself on the watch list someday.

Secretly detonate a nuclear warhead... Lets ponder the stupidity of that statement for a moment.... I think someone will notice... Also detonating a nuke would be a full fledged war

A nuclear EMP can be produced by any nuclear detonation. Although an enemy might choose a high detonation to try to knock out just electronics the vast majority of nuclear warheads are going to be used for their blast effect. Thus a bunker would be useful
