    when anyone speaks to mr King you have to take it with a grain of salt

    banned compaq research lab from posting any kernel patchs for Ipaq to him

    will not upgrade his gcc so makefiles from kbuild wont work

    and lots of other little things

    personally I have liked the work done by NP on the ARM linux kernel

    regards

  2. Eugh. Acorn computers. Eugh eugh eugh. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I was an Acorn computer user/developer for about 7 years. If there's one thing that irritated me most about working with almost all those who were in or have come from the Acorn fold, it is their arrogant, quirky, half-clue attitude.

    It's similar to the problem with (ex-)Amigans, but at least they did it out of "love", not because they felt obliged not to remove the pole up their backsides that was pushing them along.

    Which is all a darn shame really, because ARM assembler is the most elegant I have had the pleasure to program in...
