We are going to have a real discussion this time.

I'm pretty sure I had a dream about LoseThos. I was talking to someone who used it for hacking, and when questioned, they said "Of course it has networking capabilities!"

... I think it was my dad. He didn't care about the 60Hz full-screen redraw, either.

I once wrote an OS. It had a LISP interpreter as its only runable program.

You should spend all your time writing utilities to aid productivity, without actually using them.

This is one of the best OSes ever made since LISP Machines.

Too bad your OS doesn't have a good text editor on it, Rimmus.

Why didn't he port Emacs?

Why don't they port Emacs on Emacs?

I'd just like to interject for a moment.
What you're referring to as Emacs, is in fact, Emacs/Emacs OS, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Emacs plus Emacs operating system. Emacs OS is not a text editor unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the Emacs text editor, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full text editor as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the Emacs system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Emacs which is widely used today is often called "Emacs OS", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Emacs text editor, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is an Emacs OS, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Emacs OS is the operating system: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to Emacs. The operating system is an essential part of a text editor, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete text editor. Emacs OS is normally used in combination with the Emacs text editor: the whole system is basically Emacs with an OS added, or Emacs/Emacs OS. All the so-called "Emacs OS" distributions are really distributions of Emacs/Emacs OS.

Kopipe Status: Granted.

That doesn't even make sense. Revise it.

As of revision 0 it's in the public domain, feel free to alter it.

But what if an evil copuration (you can tell it's evil because it makes money) steals your kopipe and modifies it without releasing the source to the public?!?!? Then it won't be free anymore!!¡

I'm fairly sure he doesn't mind, or else he would have at least tried making some sort of point.

Nothing Stallman writes makes sense, the man is a lunatic.

Of course he is. If he wasn't such a nutter a man of his obvious brilliance could have easily found a real job. Those who can't do, teach.

Suddenly, the uprise in popularity of Java in academic circles makes sense.
