I am talking different contexts than you are (and trying to stick with 1), so you are never going to agree with me. So it's redundant to even try, because even if I try to make a technical statement, you continue to take it in a market or project context. And even in some cases, what you say is only proving my point. E.g., like the fact that Linux complemented GNU in the absence of the HURD kernel, replacing SunOS/Solaris as the preferred solution for a GNU System. I am very sorry I questioned anything about the "standard" run-levels for "UNIX-like" systems. And I am very sorry I was asserting some GNU deployment, lineage and resulting interoperability. I will keep my technical knowledge to myself with regards to your posts. This will be my last response to you, ever. -- Bryan J.

Any tax rate that penalizes them will also penalize you similarly (to those below you, and then below them). Linear algebra, let alone differential calculus or even ele- mentary concepts of limits, is mutually exclusive with US journalism. So forget even attempting to explain how tax cuts work. ;->
