It may hurt you, but I never ever felt the need for emacs.

That's why Lithium is an important ingredient of Soylent Green.

Linux by itself is "just" a kernel. Solaris has a decent kernel of its own, doesn't need Linux. Lots of GNU in userland though, about as much as in GNU/Linux.

That should be HRM, you insensitive clod! She'll ban you to the Falkland Islands.

That's far too exotic. A few seconds in a microwave oven will do, including sparks and blue smoke.

One X won't do, you need a triple-X session.

It's slightly less depressing on Opensolaris:
$ man woman
No manual entry for woman.

It's not about whether or not the image (or any other element, it doesn't have to be an image) exists, but rather if the request for it will be honoured by the bank server.

This scheme works for any request that is answered only when the user is logged in.

I read that, and I wondered which feature that might have been.
It was possible on earlier CPUs: a long time ago I wrote a tiny preemptive multitasking kernel on a 8086 as an exercise.
Preemption of the running task and switching to (dispatching) another one was done in an interrupt service routine, triggered by a timer.

Exactly!

Uh, the Intel 386 didn't offer anything that somehow made preemptive multitasking possible.

Huh? What more do you need for preemptive multitasking than a timer interrupt ?

Yes, msysgit is pretty fast on mswindows, but too bloated for my smallish projects.
