  16. Re:How about Apple's new core dumps? on A Glimpse At Apple's New Core · · Score: 2

    Knowing Apple, they'll come up with some way to gloss segvs over; you also have to take into account that, by all accounts, Quartz is loads more stable than X.
    BTW, that debug screen is the MicroBug in-ROM debugger; there's an Apple technote related to it that I can't remember the link to right now. It's intended mostly for doing debugging with two machines, one with MacsBug (a much higher-level debugger), and one with your app running, stopped by MicroBug. Some commands in it are:
    g (address)- exits debugger, continues execution at current address, or at the specified address
    dm address - dump memory contents at address
    sm address value - set the contents of memory at address to value
    Don't remember the rest off the top of my head - the most I ever have used it for is impressing and/or scaring tech-illiterate people at my former Mac-heavy school. :)

  17. Re:Not just the value market on Duron 850 CPU Benchmarks · · Score: 2

    Actually, the color -is- important.
    A blue core means it's from the early line of Tbird/Durons, and it's possible to unlock the multiplier by connecting the bridges with something conductive.
    Green-core chips are later, and can not be defeated in this way - I should know, I have one. :/

    Do you really want to use vi/emacs with slow handwriting recognition? Or a command line at all?
    There was an article on /. about this a few months back...general consensus is that you'd use the OS kernel and build a new GUI on top of that, instead of using commandline, as that paradigm Just Doesn't Work(tm) for handhelds.
