I am a young Computer Science student, interested primarily in computer infrastructure.
To clarify if something has to do with compilers, operating systems, programming languages or virtual machines it's worth taking a closer look.
From programming languages I am currently studying Python and C. I have some (albeit less) experience with Java and some experience with C#.
I work primarily on Unix(-like) boxes, and even though I strongly prefer them to Windows, I feel like I should be pragmatic so I spend time on Windows as well, trying to study it as I do with Unix.
My plans (as far as programming languages are concerned) are to take a look (and learn idiomatically if possible) both C++ and Haskell. I also feel like I want to study Go at some time in the future, though my current time schedule as well as my brain can not afford to pick up yet another language.

Any one here used Plan9 @MichaelMrozek Do you think that with some editing this might be salvagable? I do believe that if this is edited and becomes better scoped and better worded it might spawn some very interesting answers. |

Why is Gnome Shell sending data over my wireless network? I have no answer for this - just a suggestion: Why don't you fire up wireshark and check out the traffic it transmits? |

Why isn't Linux embraced as the official GNU kernel? Despite the fantastic answers provided to the question already, I will select this answer as the canonical one to the question because it demonstrates the rationale behind choice of sticking with the Hurd, straight from the creator of the GNU Project, Richard Stallman. |

Why isn't Linux embraced as the official GNU kernel? Thanks for this blog post. It makes more sense now. I will keep the question open for some time to see if people elaborate with more fantastic answers, and if not, yours will be selected as the "answer" to this question. Just one more last "petition". Would you mind, rephrasing if I may say, the "you may not have a high opinion of the HURD" because it makes me feel kinda uneasy and makes me feel bad about myself. |

Why isn't Linux embraced as the official GNU kernel? Thanx for the fantastic answer. +1 from me, and 2 notes: 1) Do not misunderstand me: I have a high opinion of the Hurd. I am a hurd developer myself. However (I believe that) it is not arguable that Linux is an a better state. 2) I can see why Linux wouldn't want to be coupled with GNU, but from what I can see it's the GNU Project that demonstrates the greatest objections to this. Could you elaborate on this? |

Why isn't Linux embraced as the official GNU kernel? @HaukeLaging You are so true, and I wish that people were more pragmatic and could recognise a question with some value instead of just pointing to the FAQ and shouting. One can easily see in S.O the most interesting questions being closed, only to wonder... |

Why isn't Linux embraced as the official GNU kernel? @HaukeLaging Thanx mate. I too feel like this is a good question, and may produce interesting answers, and can not really understand why someone would cast a close vote. I am sure this is something that a lot of people would like to know. |
