Hey, nitrogen.
Why you've been voted down so much is beyond me. Lots of IDONTLIKEIT in here and recently in general it seems.
> I'm of the view that software should, where possible, mimic physical objects -- changes are instantaneous and persistent -- with the reversibility of virtual objects.
Are you aware of Stanislav's Seven Laws of Sane Personal Computing or the Loper OS website in general? It's a nice read; thought-provoking, even if you don't agree with everything there.

- nitrogen 15y agoInteresting. For the most part, I agree with the principles there. My long-term (i.e. long past my lifetime) goal is to make software like that seen on Star Trek (minus the homicidal holodeck characters) -- no companies controlling things, no proprietary standards, just simple interfaces to do anything and everything. In the mean time, though, I don't think that full system introspection is economically possible for all systems in all places.
