You've got to be kidding, right? IBM won't even bother to support Linux on their x86 ThinkPads, but you think they're going to design a PPC Linux ThinkPad?
Aegis enforces a development process which requires that change sets ``work'' before they may be integrated into the project baseline. Works includes requiring that change sets build successfully, and (optionally) that they include and pass tests. It also ensures that code reviews have been performed.
Linus would never accept that. In a volunteer project you can't expect all the code to build on all platforms at all times.
However, device makers do things that benefit them, not Liunx. Since the licensing is so cheap and flexible, it looks like the handheld market is standardizing on ARM. Making your own chips != designing your own architecture.
SCM is how I earn my living. I install, maintain, and development SCM tools, processes, and automation. ... On the downside ClearCase is roughly as difficult to administer as Oracle.
Yeah, one of the purposes of BitKeeper is to be easy enough to use that it puts people like you out of work. Watch out!:-)
For a technology that promises infinitely scalable bandwidth, the tracker isn't very scalable at all. Multi-tracker functions (both the interconnectivity of trackers and the use of multiple isolated trackers within the torrent) are an absolute must for this technology to prosper.
Has anyone tried running multiple trackers behind a L4 load balancer? It wouldn't be ideal, but it might be a workable temporary solution.
All HDTV tuners and HDTV-connecting equipment has to support this for copy-protected content.
Well, there is no copy-protected over-the-air content, so OTA tuners don't have to support it. And DTCP is only for 1394, so boxes that use DVI don't have to support it either. (DVI equipment uses HDCP instead.)
Keep in mind that using native widgets only prevents a browser from implementing a small part of CSS2. So the choice is between 100% CSS2 support with weird widgets or 99% CSS2 support with native widgets.
First time, it copies the system/bin/prog into my home fs - Counter-intuitive to the path semantics. If I run this a second time it copies my copy of/bin/prog over itself - Inconsistent.
You've discovered the essence of the old Plan 9/Hurd joke "you are in a maze of twisty little filesystems, all subtly different."

But still, you know the base configuration is going to have 1 CPU.
$69.95 for some software that'll only be used once? Wow, I thought it was possible to install Linux for free.
Sounds like you should check out OpenCM and Stellation.

The Sony Handheld Engine has an ARM and a Teak DSP (whatever that is); I don't see any Tensilica cores.
This article from a sibling post makes it sound like Samsung doesn't have an architectural license.
That site was slashdotted so fast it must be running on a 3G phone.
Now that the Alpha engineers are not making arms and the best designs are from over 10 years ago the architecture is not fast enough.
I admit that I'm a little disappointed with XScale, but have you heard of the Halla? If you could get that core in an OMAP-like SoC...

The Sony Handheld Engine has an ARM 926 core. It has to be ARM, because Palm OS 5 doesn't run on anything else.

Why did Linus go to BitKeeper in the first place?
IIRC because it's the only system with multiple repositories that can run over email.
No, preinstalled == desktops.

Just get an HDTV tuner PCI card and record all you want.

There's also no security of any kind built into AAC, so Apple added it. No doubt they could do the same for Vorbis if they wanted to.
The Clie can use Bluetooth to connect to your Sony Ericsson GPRS phone. For some reason Sony isn't trying to merge their phone and PDA product lines.

I would have chosen B (see Camino and Galeon). Screw CSS2; sometimes you have to make a few sacrifices for usability.
Or maybe AOL will just use whatever version of IE is installed.

Maybe they don't support WCAP because it's a single-vendor stopgap protocol; the standard protocol (CAP) will be finished soon enough.
The L3 cache on Power4 is really fast: around 20GB/s IIRC.
