Hello,
How is the stability of 2.4.1 regarded? I have used it for 3 weeks
and have had only one strange incident that may have had something
to do with it; Sawfish stopped working for my accouont until I rebooted.
It still worked for root and other accounts. May have had something to
do with me running UAE, I suspect it fscked something up. It is very possible
this mishap could have been resolved without a reboot, but that solution -
if it exists - is beyond me.
<cautious mode>
I'm not saying this to bash Linux in any way, I'm just curious.

Sure it does. You're not redirecting IO to another process,
you're doing it to a file and just doing a bit of sleight
of hand to make it look like something different.
A "DOS pipe" is just another name for temporary file.

Unless you can point to something refered to as pipes
that predate Unix, you're simply full of it. The
concept was present in Unix earlier. Thus a Unix-centric
view of the concept is not unwarranted.

No, that's rather more your line.
The chapter in question covers design motivations for various
classes of OSes. Personally, I disagree with their assesment
of DOS but I can see where it came from.
Historically, OSes have been built to more effectively exploit
"expensive" computing hardware. This includes the development
of multitasking in order to not make one's overpriced games
console useless while utilizing only a particular part of the
machine.
A side effect of that is that you don't need to waste disk space
equivalent to the total IO traffic of a process in order to be
able to use piping.

Yet according to your own police, there has been a SIGNIFICANT increase
of them since the handgun ban.
Why is that?

Regardless. Criminals now KNOW that the ALL law-abiding civilians
will be unarmed.
It's the difference between a pretty good bet, and a sure thing.
Many people (especially cowardly criminals) won't risk their life
on just good odds...they want a sure thing. And handgun bans
do exactly that.

Tell that to the 80-year old woman who is deprived of the right
to defend herself from marauding burglars in the middle of the night.
Here in the United States, criminals pretty much KNOW to leave
the elderly alone because grey-haired ladies have quite a
reputation for turning midnight burglars into coffin-stuffing.

None of which is hindered by allowing law-abiding citizens to carry
handguns, and to own firearms for the specific purpose of self-defence.
Idiotic English law. If you stab an attacker with a knife, and tell
the police that you have the knife becuase you collect knives, then
you're OK. But if you tell the police that you had the knife in
case you are attacked (A demonstrably genuine fear, in light of the
fact that you have, in fact, been attacked), then you get put in the
clink for defending yourself.
This is called a "double-bind"
You put someone into a situation where, no matter WHAT choice someone
makes, they are punished for being wrong (in this case, either go to
jail for taking adequate measures to defend yourself, or get killed
by a mugger). The end result is insanity--specifically Psychosis.
I forget the source, but there was a part called "How to be a
Jewish Mother"
The mother gives the son a red tie and a green tie as a present.
The next time she sees her son, if he's wearing the red tie,
she says, "What, you don't like the green one?"
Alternatively, if he's wearing the green tie, she says, "What,
you don't like the red one?"
The only way out of this double bind is to act insane, and wear
BOTH ties simultaneously.
By the short-sighted, EMOTION-DRIVEN demand to ban handguns,
the British citizenry have placed themselves in just such a
double-bind. You have been successfully MANIPULATED be
elements who fear the thought of the law-abiding public being
able to defend themselves from any and all attackers.
Now...you have to ask yourself....WHAT KIND OF PERSON fears
a law-abiding citizen who can defend himself?
>

No. Gun law comes as a result of the massess becoming lazy and
expecting the government to protect them, rather than taking
responsibility for it themselves.

Germany's foray into Yugoslavia.
US/British bombing of Kosovo (part of Yugoslavia).
Basically, the effectiveness of air superiority is at its maximum
in flat, open desert terrain.
Conversely, the effectiveness of air superiority is at its minimum
in forested mountian terrain (like Viet Nam, Yugoslavia, Switzerland,
parts of Spain, etc.)
