I don't understand what you're saying here as a response to what I said.
I defer to the experts.
It's really not clear what the right long-term solution is.
Why do by hand what a machine can do just as well or better?

I don't understand why you keep beating on this.
It's nice to be in a position where people apologize because they assume there's humor in your work, based on past experience, but they're not sure where it is.
all sounds fine to me.
Oh man, do I miss my red Swiss mouse.
Of course, this may change.
The real answer lies in further research.

I just live with unaligned comments.
Why should I?
I sense a conspiracy.
I leave it to you to find a way to correct the problem.
We'll never agree.
I suggest a different compromise: you do whatever you want, we ignore you. Deal?
Read the manuals.
I disagree.

We are using other techniques now.
What's wrong with forking processes?
I know what versioning is, it's "vendoring" that I don't recognize as a term.

is anyone willing to put together a plan 9 qemu image with mercurial set up and a go tree checked out and ready to build?
okay.
sounds worth trying
I'd like to keep the discussion here about Windows 2000 support in general and not about the technical details of this specific problem.
But that is just a guess.
RFC 3339 is very clear about this.
Thanks.
It is just not worth the effort.
Hello there. Has anyone written a vt100 emulator for Plan9? Thanks.
Much better to spend time reading and learning from the code than blogging about what's wrong with the local variable names.
I would prefer to arrange that the output is useful.
Nice.

Improvements come when people try to push forward along the curve.
People like you...
Let's follow that thought.
Incorrect.
I don't see the point.
So that is the reason why my car stereo has two sets of volume control knobs..... with the second set located inside the engine compartment, so I have to stop at the side of the road, pop open the hood, and reach down along the hot engine to near where the oil filter is.
Take that for what it is.
Whatever you're doing, it is wrong.
Riiiiiiiiight. Suuuuuuuure. Keep believing that.
I would like to see some proof of that.
That's not going to happen.
Wow. No.
You are showing that you can't do any research at all, but want to throw ideas out.
Unlikely.
Well...
That is a very dangerous direction.
I think this will cause further damage.
Are you saying OpenBSD does it wrong, or that all the operating systems do it wrong?
Wow, really thick skull you got there.
Get real.

Why should I boot Plan 9, when I know I can't run a browser, and I already have p9p?
9p (the network filesystem plan9 and inferno are using) is horribly slow. It only works on fast no-latency LANs. Don't even think about using it on any link with more than 20ms latency.
The (9P) protocol has also other glaring mis-features -- it lacks the ability of moving files -- if you want to move a big file on a remote machine from one directory to another, you'll have to copy it back and forth, all the way. This is incredibly dumb.
I doubt plan9 will ever get into a usable system. Everything inside is like high-brow silliness, second-system syndrome and stupid vulnerabilities you only meet with in historic code from 30 years ago.
As to the ideas inspired by plan9 in modern unix systems, they quickly became just encumbering legacy crap -- e.g. the /proc system in linux.
