Re:one possible good result of this:
Apart from the occasional CV I never use the filthy format myself, but the specs for this and most other Office file formats are freely available.
You can get them on msdn (membership is free, apparently) if you're that way inclined or better still head over to binary Valhalla Wotsit.
You only have to glance at the specs to see why they're now moving to XML. -
Re:Seems like a nitpick, but...There are, but the libraries required to run it are a bit on the large side. Also, it is a little bit difficult to get a big public key, like mine into the Palm. My key happens to be longer than is permitted by the memopad. If you have an 8 MB version it might be workable, with my IIIe it's just not that practical.
Here's ; a link.

Project Espresso
Check out http://www.compapp.dcu.ie/~jwal sh.ca4/funcspec.html.
The functional spec. outlines the areas where Java sucks most and the program fixes them up automatically. -
here are some links
- First, here are lecture notes from a college course on operating system design.
- Second, some more meterial from another university (it's not clear to me that this is from a course).
- Third, a terse document detailing broad set of features common to operating systems of different periods (also part of an operating sytems course).
- Fourth, another page, which seems to be part of college course, with a section on the history of operating systems.
- Fifth, a web-slideshow on the topic.
- And Finally, a smattering of other links to the same topic by even more authors: another lecture from a college course, chapter 3, section 1 from the book Introductory Information Protection by Fred Cohen & Associates, Operating Systems - Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, and Evolution of Operating Systems User Interface Design

1 year too late...
I was working hard last year to find some of these style bots, as I was writing my thesis on communication over the Internet and also a hyperfiction in which all the characters are essentially bots.
Oh, and a hilariously funny link from that research is MGonz which not only fooled a human, but made the human confess some wonderful things. -
Crusoe == Hotspot
Naturally, on the first iteration, crusoe will behave almost exactly like a JIT compiler, but adaptive optimization is another story. I would present the case that crusoe is more like Sun's HotSpot technology. If you are interested in the details, here is a lecture presented at JavaOne about java optimization, which talks about the adaptive run-time optimization in HotSpot.

And for some proof, have a look here for a picture of a desk being swarmed in Tux Dolls...
