Will the not ready for prime time OS's ever be ready for prime time? Just a thought.

Some of them, maybe.  But there's lots of OSs out there, many for research, that will never get anywhere.

GNU/Hurd will.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

By the time GNU/Hurd is done, people won't be using computers anymore.

I certainly hope I don't live that long - in fact, I'm going to go smoke a few extra cigarettes, just to make sure.

I'm guessing Atheos is dead.  Too bad, it looked neat and I was hoping to try it out when it supported a network card that I owned.

Hurd is pretty damn innovative, if you ever learn about it.

Hmmm ... are death threats a part of the forum rules ?

Where did I threaten to kill anybody, I never said anything about killing anybody.

I think this is slander in an attempt to discredit my otherwise superior views on the world that are right, always right, just sometimes more right than others. Ban PLZ.

No magistrate IN THE WORLD would take that as "friendly advice."

No.

And death threats, however implicit, are a Class B felony, 15-20 out here.
