All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Watch what you are saying. That people think different isn't an excuse to call them insane. Actually, coming from you its not worth a penny, as you say the same of all Microsoft users.

I think Dexis talking about a micro-kernel, that is extremely abstracted in such a way that anything can be piped over anything... (device I/O, interrupts, memory access on the page level) over FTP/UDP/TCP/802.*, even piped back into something and back out the other side.
Something very similar to what Candy was working on at one time. Just a really, High Flex Modular Operating System.
Just as long as there is a contained mechanism to do the conversion/translation and piping of the information.

I know, but the the topic was operating systems integrated with the web.
Seriously, what's wrong (apart from being brain damaged) in having a this client (of some sort, maybe browser) and a bunch of servers on which your files and apps are stored and you can make some heavy not-so-response-critical apps run their core classes on the server itself (maybe RMI or something) and skinny apps running at the client?
It certainly attracts people for whom a computer is just a magic machine where you can author word files/spreadsheets/presentations and browse the Internet and access e-mail.
Bad prashant, you shall be banished to working with nothing but a hex editor on minix and a floppy drive to do your development with!
Zap!

Hypocrite, you yourself recently "resurrected" a thread...
Twitter: @canadianbryan. Award by smcerm, I stole it. Original was larger.

Am I the only one thinking that would be a fun little exercise?
