On what planet? Chrysler nearly went belly-up and had to go crying
to the gummint for a bailout. (But at least they paid it back, with
interest.)

You're claiming that none of the multitude of improvements and
innovations in the Unix arena from 1973-present came out of
peer-reviewed processes?
When I was at purdue, practically every CS grad student, and a
good portion of the EE grad students were doing something to
improve Unix...
All of which had to be defended in their thesis defenses.

Network Filesystem (NFS), FTP, etc. all originated in the
technical academia, followed by RFCs posted on USENET,
then a IEEE deliberations to establish standard protocols.

If you got even a bit of education, you *might* be good enough
to be called "ignorant"
Until then, you're nothing more than a donkey-raping shit-eater.

You have missed one of the principal points of open source software.
Even if Mr. Volkerding & Co. call it quits, anyone -- anyone -- can
pick up the distro and continue its growth, much as Slackware itself
rose from the ashes of the SLS distribution.

Not only that, but ANY locality ALREADY HAS THE ABILITY to judge how
much arsenic is acceptable in THEIR OWN water supply.
Since EVERYBODY who sits on local water boards ALSO DRINKS THE SAME
WATER, there is ZERO need for federal regulation regarding this.

Either on the BBC or Discovery Channel there was quite a good documentry
on the US auto industry, esp. during the oil crisis. Quite funny how
the likes of GM and ford thought the US populous will continue to buy
their crap, well, they were shown where to shove their multi-million
dollar pay packets.

In comparison, the one LoseDOS box I have at home refuses to recognize
the printer port. It's not a hardware problem, because I put Mandrake
on a partition, and the whole machine works fine.
Now...tell us Eric...why won't LoseDOS recognize perfectly good hardware
that it was USING only a month earlier?

Oh, you cad, quoting Dirty Bertie!
Anyway, upgrading a kernel is pretty easy. In fact, you can have an
unlimited choice of kernels at boot time, and also FreeBSD, et al.
