At WOOT this year, Robert Watson presented a paper on how to evade popular system call interposition systems, including Systrace. For Systrace, Robert noticed that the arguments written to the stackgap could be replaced by a co-operating process after Systrace performed its policy check. The initial prototype of Systrace as described in the paper avoided this problem by using a look-aside buffer in the kernel. This imposes a slight performance penality but I hope that this obvious solution is going to be included in the OpenBSD and NetBSD kernel soon.
Also check the comment by the "Cambridge Researcher", kind of acknowledging it's nothing new.
I still think systrace is a lot better than nothing. It has minimal performance impact and you can have basic blocks for applications running foreign code (like browsers and mail clients.)
That's not the Apple way. They steal technology (Xerox, Creative, Sony) then hype it to hell, and then lock it all the way to maximize with monopoly. They did that with every product they pushed, from the Mac to the IPhone.
Who said I was in Iberia? And what Mexican is asking to take your house? Never heard of that. I only heard they would fix it for very cheap, though. And babysit your kids. And take care of your elders. All those things you are responsible for but don't really want to do yourself.
And it was you who played the Grammar Nazi game, I only found it ironic you write even worse than me.
Are you blind? Do most Mexicans look like white Europeans? The most white countries in Latin America have significantly more than 50% of native aborigines descendants. And Mexico for sure isn't even close to that, I'd bet more like 80 to 90%.
Have you seen Zorro? See, all this huge chunk on the south of USA used to be Mexico. All those Spanish names for places weren't because someone considered it trendy at the time.
BTW, Mexicans should be proud of their roots. Just like everyone else. We are all just a bunch of apes learning to control our primitive impulses and get over of the atrocities we made to each other so far like slavery, racism, oppresion, chauvinism, war, and fanatic religion.
You may want to google how many cars are set alight in Parisian suburbs before spouting how Europe has its(note the spelling) priorities better now.
Sorry for the misspelling. My English as non-native speaker sure needs some work.
BTW (note case) the Mexicans in USA (both native of the land like Zorro, and the recent alleged immigrants, by crossing a border USA made by force) are barely descendants from Spanish (note case) Conquistadores/Conquerors (note spelling) but by far descendants from Native Americans (in its true meaning, not WASPS.) If they don't please you vis-à-vis (note spelling) perhaps you are on the wrong place.
"El que a hierro mata, a hierro muere". (Note in Spanish language, well Castellano language to be precise, stops are left outside quotes.) "Who lives by the sword, dies by the sword."
OK, I'll fall for your flamebait going to your distraction topics.
Exactly how many immigrants does the US have to accept to make you happy?
Who is asking for numbers? I despise illegal immigration almost as much as the BS paperwork to become a legal citizen. No, Green Cards don't count to me, either. In particular, researchers are not illegal immigrants.
Europe is being overwhelmed by immigrants who have no interest in assimilating, and are bringing their failed cultures with them.
Most immigration in Europe right now is from within itself, mostly Eastern to Western. And most are well accepted quickly. Depending on the country race is or not an issue, and within some countries that racism is not to just any foreign but specific cultures (not condoning it, it's still disgusting.) In USA there's the WASP idealization where anything out of the media norm is ostracized. Go to colleges and universities and see how mixed the students and faculty are (race, wealth). And that's what the researchers live. And on top of that, a researcher would easily fall in the "nerd" discrimination.
It's not like that at all in most universities of most European countries. In fact, you get extra points for being "exotic." Significantly more pull on the opposite sex. Plus, researchers are well respected in society.
As to the Mexican War, if the "Native Americans" are so awesome, why isn't Mexico the economic powerhouse of the world?
Don't get confused. Mexico is a great rich country with a despotic ruler class. Check out who is the top guy in wealth now (so long, Mr. Gates.) And that ruling class has full support from the USA. It's a country on a socioeconomic clamp.
Remember your country killed elected democratic presidents in Latin America, for example Allende in Chile. This is admitted, not conspiracy theory. Plus the IMF alleged help, leaving USA full control of the Economy. How can you expect a country in that context to flourish? The wave of Latin American military dictatorships was fully planned and deployed by your government. Read a couple of history books on the Nixon-Kissinger era. How do you expect them to develop? That was only a generation ago!
Again, don't get confused, I hate communist dictators (any dictator is my enemy). Before replying nonsense like a Fox News commentator, please refer to a well respected history book. Wikipedia doesn't count.
Just another failed culture, sending it's most productive people to the US.
Most productive? The most desperate IMO.
Go to the real Mexico, it's not Tijuana or a Latino ghetto in USA. In fact, why don't you go have a long trip around the world? It will help you open your mind. Your TV is delusional.
And this mistreatment of immigrants is going back a hundred years for USA. It got better from WWI to the 50s, then back to the old bigot habits. And that has a price: Mostly the poor uneducated desperate would go through all that. And I commend them for their courage, dedication, and perseverance. Most of them do it for their kids. Just like your ancestors.
Please read again what I said. USA accepts immigrants, but as temporary non-citizens. That means no rights to many things and constant paranoia of losing this status.
The only hole in there is births having citizenship easily, but that doesn't attract researchers. It only attracts desperate people of low resources. I'm talking about researchers, as this page topic is dedicated to.
Who said the Mexicans are "awesome"? I just said it's disgusting how you take their land and then pretend it was 100% WASP all the way. And people with high education are not comfortable having those issues around. Ask foreign researchers what does that make them feel.
Your immigration policies are to blame on this fall of research. You don't need to get it from NSF, read last 10 years of papers of ACM, IEEE, and Nature. The cool stuff is happening more and more outside USA, even with its billions of dollars in budget. You either accept this fact, or keep watching TV and call names on all the other countries.
BTW, Slashdot got more and more right wing. You get 2 up, and my post above gets -1 flamebait. Nobody does a counter argument to my points, and there are sure holes in them. I would love to have some reasonable argument. But so far, there's only conservative right wing regurgitated rhetoric responses, with many points up.
Please don't apply the 2 sides USA media approach to this thing. For example, I consider your people to be among the most dedicated workers in the world, borderline workaholics in many states. Don't answer me like if you were in the republican side of the old CNN's Crossfire. I am not democrat, nor socialist. Just attack without recurring to fallacies my points. Thanks.
To give you some context, I'm a highly skilled worker who is right now being offered to work there. Thanks, no thanks. The Green Card BS was one of my main reasons to decline.
I am here in Europe. And the Parisians have more trouble with tough to merge immigrants, the rest of us are well.
In USA WASPS would not befriend me. I have several friends in Paris, most are very white gauls or similar.
Don't assume all immigrants have some hardcore problematic religion or culture behind them. Most of us don't.
Even the 50s were better on treating foreign teachers and researchers. Now you get, with a lot of luck, a non-citizen Green Card. You are constantly bullied by random uneducated locals. And, if you are lucky there are many others in your same situation around you, you end up in a virtual ghetto.
F*** that. Europe has it's priorities better now. USA lost it. Go build your racist and unfair wall to keep off the real native North Americans from their own land (check the "Mexican War".)
Mod me down if it touches your right-wing heart. But that doesn't make truth go away. Read the title.
Slashdot Mirror
Sure, it's not perfect. I knew that from day 1.
This race bug was known for ages. It's even hinted in the man page. Stop the FUD.
All the Linux fan-boy trolling posts get high scores, this guy only 1?
Slashdot crowd at it's best, giving you 3 positive points total. It's sad.
That's not the Apple way. They steal technology (Xerox, Creative, Sony) then hype it to hell, and then lock it all the way to maximize with monopoly. They did that with every product they pushed, from the Mac to the IPhone.

And also he lies about his credentials. From comments somewhere else on this same article, I wish I knew this before.
