  1. Re:Indeed... compilation is not barrier... on A Look at BSD Rootkits · · Score: 1

    patch gcc to do it for you, and for all copies of gcc compiled from then onwards, no need to have it visible in the source code of anything. When was the last time you checked your compiler's binary ?

    No one, because it's Glenda, the Plan 9 Bunny. And it's an official attribution.

    Perhaps he means multi-threaded.

    One should really consider that before long each processor will be running its own OS and exporting services to the other processors over whatever medium is available, be it HyperTransport, PCI-E, CAT5, RS232 or whatever, that part isn't so important. Plan9 considered this a long long time ago. The ideas from there will pervade.

    NT uses the Nested Thread register of the 286. They named their product Windows New Technology (wow great name) and now they call it "Windows Vista with New Technology Technology". I'm looking forward to this New New Technology Technology. I'm sure it's going to be as impressive as all that went before it.

    It can take longer than 2 years for a script to go from paper to cinema. What you are suggesting means that your copyrighted work (the script) could be out of copyright before the edit is even started.
