A while ago I was complaining on #utah about how the way we use
computers typically is flaw.  I mentioned  how MS and others are trying
to abstract away the complexity of the underlying system, while still
forcing you to deal with that complexity (ie when things break you have
to go through the registry or the file system).

This slashdot comment has some interesting comments on this very subject
and makes the interesting point that abstraction is often a bad thing. 
Instead we should make the underlying system simpler, more robust, and
less breakable:

What do you all think?
