I wouldn't say OS X is a microkernel. Much of its codebase was built off of Mach, but much was also built off of BSD. For example, its network stack logic resides in the kernel, which is certainly not microkernel-esque. See http://en.wikip

Mot less code to implement, but it modularizes logic such that it's (theoretically) trivial to disable unneeded features. I'm sure the majority of that Linux kernel logic is never executed; if that code were instead placed in user-level pro

I don't get how this stuff works. My understanding is that it was impossible to "see" electrons because they're so small that photons can't bounce off of them. How does this work? Also, how do they color it? Is it artificially added? I c

This is about linking major metropolitan areas together, not accommodating those who wish to suburbs. One of the central tenants of this plan is that these stations should be in the heart of the cities (as is done in Europe) rather than a m

This is fascinating, thank you. I've been told a lot of the issues surrounding the boomerang generation in Italy has to do with policies that are defensive of older employees, thus making it more difficult for young adults to find jobs. I w

Outlining the factors without showing how they are measured is misleading. According to the WHO, the HSP (health system performance) is measured via: * measuring the health system's contribution to socially desirable goals; * measuring the

* As of 2000 (the latest report with country ranking) the WHO rates America #37 in overall effectiveness in healthcare, whereas Germany is #25 (#1 is France, which also has universal coverage): http://www.who.int/whr/2000/en/ * According

But the problem is that it would take decades to go from R&D to a complete infrastructure that supplants the one we have in place for oil. Even now, the only legitimate substitute for gas-powered cars I've seen is Agassi's proposal: ht

I've heard of this concept of 'set-based' filesystems (although with different terminology), and I think it's brilliant. And not just for documents either. Generally speaking, websites have moved away from storing data in a hierarchical mat

What sort of evidence is there that Micosoft actually plans on building their next OS from this? Just because it has the backing of Microsoft Research does not imply that it's the future code base; Microsoft conducts research into a number

Perhaps social media tools are amplifying dissenting voices in Iran, but I'd argue it's more of a consequence of the Iranian government's policies than anything else. Skepticism of the electoral process wouldn't have arisen in the first pl

The Apollo program inspired a generation of engineers that got America on the fast track to victory in the Cold War. Furthermore, NASA has facilitated a great deal of technological and scientific innovation in the past few decades, both dir
