I'm a post-doctoral researcher at a engineering college and I use Linux for all of my data acquisition and analysis. The following environments are used:
LabVIEW, PERL, shell scripts, and/or C for data acquisition
C++, MatLAB, and/or shell scripts for data analysis
and you can get some of my codes from Sourceforge:
"...Fortran code can be much better optimized than C/C++ code for numerics."
Hardly. Apparently, you've slept through the last half-decade of advancements in OO numerics and C++ libraries. See Blitz++, MTL, and the numerous other C++ projects listed on NETLIB.
But more to the original point, why does everyone assume that FORTRAN and C++ are an either/or proposition? They aren't!!! Its not at all difficult to call most of the myriad F77 routines (including highly optimized BLAS and LAPACK libraries) available on NETLIB from C++ programs. I've done it both "by hand" and with the help of wrappers available in, for example, MTL.
Since this is yet another "tool for the job" question, I think its very important that people understand that they don't have to use just one tool. With a mixed-language approach you can employ, for instance, C++ to handle strings and call FORTRAN for the BLAS and LAPACK routines.
How secure would a Windows DRMOS be if it
were run inside some sort of VM environment
where the DRMOS wasn't the host OS?
Sounds like, unless you can lock down the
hardware (XBox, perhaps?), *someone* will
relatively easily find a way to look at
the content in cleartext...

So I just have to ask:
How secure would a Windows DRMOS be if it
were run inside some sort of VM environment
where the DRMOS wasn't the host OS?
Sounds like, unless you can lock down the
hardware (XBox, perhaps?), *someone* will
relatively easily find a way to look at
