Court Decision Favors Rambus

Posted by Hemos on from the and-it-goes-on-and-on dept.

RoscoeP writes "This story from News.com: "A federal judge has overturned two counts of fraud against chip designer Rambus...". At least Rambus can't pursue litigation against Infineon for SDRAM though." See our previous stories about Rambus for far-too-much background.

    Another Rambus story. Am I the only one who just couldn't give a rats ass anymore?

    So your job as a network architect is to actually spend hours running debug version of kernel looking for some small bug ?
    How do you know you haven't introduced much bigger bug somewhere down the line ?
    Are you kernel developer?

    Are you suggesting all companies hire part-time kernel developers for occasions like that?

    First, I don't know if the patch that I got from the person responsible for that particular portion of the kernel introduced new bugs. Second, neither do users of other OSs know if patches/service packs add new bugs. Finally, I didn't go through the code itself to find the bug. It just so happened that the kernel panic I got pointed me to line 155 og highmem.c (BTW it reads "BUG();". Obviously, someone knew that his particular thing 'could' happen. It requires a very specific combination software and hardware to exercise the bug (SMP and >900MB).
