If this were true then wine would be a lot further along than it is, because then they wouldn't be reverse-engineering system calls and could put their full effort on implementing the API set.
To be honest, I don't want to see a breakup. I'd be happy if the government forced all APIs to be disclosed and documented, and if the application group got them at the same time everyone else did. I think that would clear up most of the iniquities.
Oh, yes, I think there should be no more tying. IE should be separate, and so should the office stuff.
That should clear up the rest of them.
But then again, I wouldn't put anything past MS to get past that kind of stuff. Maybe a breakup is the only foolproof way.
...always been one of my major complaints. I have been able to run linux without a video card offsite, but it's not much help. This could be really helpful and if I ever need to run a headless server I'll snap it up faster than... well... we needn't go into that.
That being said, the serial console extentions to linux are really useful.
Point taken, but if I'd spent 12 years in school and over a hundred thousand dollars on a degree, I think I would probably at least want the title out of it...
This is pretty cool, but the guy could use some help with translation. It really looks funny with english words and german syntactical structure.
It really easy that syntactical structure to duplicate is. You must remember verb on the end to put, when you modifier use, such as "can" or "must". That really tripped me up when I was learning it...
oh well. I probably look like a dummkopf when I try to speck german.
I'll believe it when I see it. I trust a large corporation like I would trust a cat not to eat my pet birds.
Promises were not made to be broken to a large corporation, they were never intended to be kept in the first place. I think anyone who even gives this the time of day until they are actually using their cable network on another ISP is setting themselves up for a fall.
And don't harp on me for this. Corporations have made their own bed.
Einstein's theories are among the move widely and conclusively experimentally verified theories in history, right up there with gravity. And I'm a musician... so I can make music for myself.:)
Yes, I know you're a troll. But that is ridiculous even for a troll.
No. Memory is limited by latency. It doesn't matter if the CPU is 100 ghz, if it has to wait on the memory the whole system will slow down.
It's like if you're in a car, you can go 150, the speed limit is 150, but the guy in front of you is going 50. The speed of your car doesn't matter, and the speed limit doesn't matter either. You're going 50.
Kindly hold back your flames till you know what you're talking about. It makes you look stupid.

He mentioned he was porting to windows. In my experience, the windows kernel is much worse at handling things like that than the unix kernel is. Sometimes you have to reboot to free the memory.

On the flip side, Windows should release the memory of a process after termination. Memory leaks should not persist past the termination of a process.
And your god, BG, should take that advice too, I've yet to see ANY program except for netscape with more memory leaks than Windows.
If they were to do this, it would probably increase performance. But marginally. At least in linux programs, when I've done profiles, most of the cycles were taken up in console i/o. Printf, etc.
It would also require a modification to the kernel - so that the brk() system call would simply call the hardware variants.
I think that it probably *would* remove flexibility, but at the same time I think that's a good thing. Part of the problem with memory leaks and stuff is the flexibility...
Then again, I might just be talking out of a bodily orifice.

It all comes down to parental ignorance, or at *least* wool being over their eyes. You just cannot hide a part of life from your kids. They will find out sooner or later. And the worse you make it seem the more they'll revel in it.

Now you know that's impossible. How can I name one that isn't documented, and therefore named?
I think you're either a troll or a microsoft flunkie.

Every API call is NOT 100% documented.

That none of us do something stupid and try to crack the machine. That sure would be a good way to pay them back for their "generosity"...

There's a city in michigan near Kalamazoo called "climax". We'd always make jokes about it while driving by.
Gotta wonder...

Yeah. I was an idealist once, too. Now I would like nothing more than to see corporate law completely disappear.
You just don't see it as a student. Watch "head office" once. It's very exaggerated, but very true.

Piracy is just pr. You want to demonize people,accuse them of being pirates or whatever. It's all about perception. As in everything else.
Yeah it disgusts me, but...

Only to a certain point. Once the cpu speed overreaches the latency of the memory, the memory becomes the road block.
It introduces "wait states", which is basically a clock cycle where the cpu isn't doing anything but waiting for the memory to respond. These add up.
