If you would like an operating system that doesn't arbitrarily and irrevocably yank support for applications, I suggest Debian or another GNU/Linux OS.

This becomes more relevant every day: http://magnatecha.com/moving-from-ubuntu-to-debian/

What about ISPs that block port 80? Does arkOS handle that? I don't see how it could.

Examples:

Resource limit for SNAP: http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/foradults/supplementalnutritionas... -- translation: "Have less savings, get SNAP".

Patient Assistance Programs at hospitals: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2013/03/28/real-money-hid... -- translation: the government says your hospital has to "give back to the community" by not making you pay your bill if you say you can't.

I wonder how much happiness stems from aggregate "good" weather across the locations at whcih people are tweeting. I would wager that it correlates quite nicely.

Then I would, once again, question why the hell people live in gloomy places when most of them enjoy sunshine (and lollipops?)

Although to me the book is much more valuable, making $200k off of it is not bad.

Exactly. I think it's somewhat unhealthy for both the employee and employer (even if they're the same person) for the employee to seek non-work-related interaction on even a weekly basis. I'm talking about the "birthday drinks", ping-pong tables, etc mentioned in the article. It just seems distracting.

If you want to hang out with people then do it, but not when you're trying to get work done.

Correct, it "becomes more complicated" is what I meant.

Aside from the beauty of this restore, I thought it was cool to see the UI influences the NeXT's OS had on Mac OS. I've never seen screenshots until now, but you can definitely see aspects carried through to its successor.

Varnish is pretty awesome, but gets complicated when you have user-specific content. You can use things like edge-side includes and such, but it becomes more than plug and play at that point.
