I though OS X was POSIX since 10.5... correct me if I'm wrong.

Most can, you just need to know what your doing. /etc/init.d/*dm stop
modprobe -r
dpgk -i updated_driver_version.deb /etc/init.d/*dm start

Xorg will load the appropriate driver realtime now of days.

You cannot possibly be serious. Intersexed affects not only the genitals, but mental configurations as well, a condition known as transsexual. But please, continue your bigotry.

They make the mistake of using Linux.
They should be running Windows CE!

(Yes, this is a joke for those without humor sense. I'm actually somewhat happy to see linux used.)

How are P2P networks any different than having a Library except that the item is digital?

TBH the cost for game development has sky rocked... The uncanny valley is an expensive one. Developers and Artists need to be paid, and the only real incoming funds are from the publishers, and we have all seen what publishers have done to the game development industry. Ad revenue for a developing game or one that has servers to upkeep makes monetary sense, even though they are moderately annoying.

Honestly I'd like to see the 2d side scrolling exploration games like Metroid or Castlevania come back, but I don't see it happening. The idiot masses drool for higher and higher graphics each year at the expense of game play.

Or a bisolar system, however the radiation levels and orbits may be too chaotic in such system.

Just to put things in perspective, Jupiter is about 9/1000 the mass of the sun. However I would point to the multitude of our gas giants. Saturn is about 2/1000 the mass of the sun, which is also significant. The other two gas giants are significantly smaller. I'd say the existence of gas giants within the carbon--water habitable zone can provide safe harbors for life as well. But I'd say a stable environment in any case is good for any sort of life form, allowing time for them to adapt without being destroyed by physics mechanics.

UAC is one of the brilliant features to Vista. You should not disable it.... nor should you be running in administrator mode. You, as a linux user, should know better.

"A typical coal plant releases more radioactive material into the air in a day due to traces of uranium in the coal than TMI released in its lifetime"

Not to be an ass, but citation needed and very much desired.

All of which have kernel modules to allow host systems to run them faster. Virtual hardware has such an overhead, but the day of the Virtual machine virus is going to come sooner or later.

Great. Iceweasel 3.5 just entered Debian Experimental... I'll likely have to continue to run with jit off for another month.
