Because we are the first aliens to visit other planet.

luckily mark zukerberg did not listen to this.

You should not move your company to Amsterdam because every employee can smoke pot legally :)

Better add Colorado and Washington state to that list.

And maybe we should move all of our companies to Saudia Arabia since employees can drink legally everywhere else.

So?

its true. thanks man.

Thanks you guys, i feel like you are the guys invented democracy to save us from SO tyranny.

Small Suggestion: All caps in Title makes the title very harder to read. so instead of WHAT IS BEST EDITOR can you change like What is Best Editor.

Every Smart guys is trying to bring Lisp's functionality in C Syntax. But i'm stupid , i directly use Lisp. Even its hard and that's why i'm stupid.

Because of Lawyers.

Actually because of senior managment who told the company lawyers to take action. But yeah, this is the correct answer. Go figure it's at the bottom of the thread.

Linus was a 386BSD user, or hoped to be. A lawsuit stopped people like him from getting their hands on the BSD code to play with, so he wrote a UNIX clone himself using MINIX as a model. Eventually the legal situation with BSD was cleared, and BSD became free and available to everyone, but that wasn't until 1993 or so. And even after the lawsuit some people still wanted to make money selling BSD for the PC. (They failed.^1) By that time, lots of people had already shifted to Linux as the "free" available UNIX as it was readily available. Why pay for CD-ROMs of BSD when you could freely download Linux via FTP?

1. But just look at Apple. BSD is in lots of commercial products, though you might not always realize it.

> senior managment who told the company lawyers to take action

There's lawyers that "take action". Then there's lawyers who advise. Senior management gets advice from a few sources and then makes a decision. If that decision involves lawsuits, patents or any other type of legal action you can be sure the idea originated with lawyers.

> Linus was a 386BSD user, or hoped to be. A lawsuit stopped people like him from getting their hands on the BSD code to play with, so he wrote a UNIX clone himself using MINIX as a model.

Torvalds himself said that he couldn't use 386BSD because it required the 80387, which he didn't have.

Apparently this is wrong because I misquoted. Damn.

Maybe I'm reading the story you linked to incorrecty but wasn't that a quote from his friend, Lars Wirzenius?

The gist of what I was trying to say, poorly perhaps, is that in 1993 Linux was available, it was free and it worked on previously DOS-controlled, home PC's. BSD wasn't as available nor as ready for use on the home PC. At least not as I remember it. It certainly is now. But it wasn't then.

Better Audio Support in Linux So that i can watch movies and listen to songs.

So that mckinsey can Steal more money by sending those BigData Expert MBAs.

I just observed , whenever there is a discussion about Common Lisp , some how somebody would inject something about Clojure. Did anybody noticed that ?

Its simple Logic,

Programmers Those who use C = C Programmers. Scheme = Scheme Programmers. Common Lisp = Common Lisp Programmers. Clojure = Clojure Programmers.

Programmers Who use Clojure != Common Lisp Programmers.

So Please, please stop posting about Clojure in Common Lisp Posts.

I don't want Clojure solution for Common Lisp problem.

if I want to eat steak, i'd search about steak, why the hell i need to check about broccoli. Same thing if i want to learn Common Lisp, i need more info about Common Lisp, Why the hell i need info about Clojure.
