I've no idea if you've seen Minix 3, but with all the bizzare crap that is in there, it might as well be Linux. I'm suprised that magic numbers aren't floating all over the place. I especially love this crap (which isn't necessarily Minix related, but fun none the less):
FORWARD _PROTOTYPE (void somefunc, (char *args));
PUBLIC void somefunc (char *args)
{
...
}
Granted, Linux is stable whereas I've not found Minix to be especially great,but it still has the hoarde hackery feeling without the benfit(?).

Would that mean that Minix would now look like Linux?

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of crisis and a final decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something -- and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being born."
