After working on a project that was rewriting a heap allocator (I just wrote the test program, but I did read up on memory allocators quite a bit), I realized exactly how complicated memory allocators can be and more importantly, how little the community knows about exactly what is the optimal way to do memory allocation so that both speed and fragmentation are mimimized. Given this uncertanty it is probably best to keep the allocator in software so that it can be modified.
In reply to you query for a good, big company I would have to say IBM. They do great research ( see here ) and have been doing alot to help the OSS community. Since they were beaten with a stick in the 80's they have turned into quite a nice company.
Oh and, yes IBM (AKA, Big Blue) is big, just incase you weren't sure
What about a Beowulf cluster of these!

C'mon you know that for every post that ever gets on/. you must consider the implications of using that thing in a Beowulf cluster.
This hack (MIT style) happened it Boston, I believe it was MIT (My dad told me about it, he was at harvard in the late 60's) What happened was that when a commuter train pulled up to a station some students were waiting and promptly welded the wheels to the tracks while it was stopped.
I know psst has links to some free SSH implementations. Are these going to merge or what?
Also I have to say that I am quite happy to have a Free (speech) SSH implementation. I feel dirty using the commercial one. But I need the functionality.
"A key feature of LinuxOne OS is its ability to run on the most advanced PC workstations with devices that increase communication bandwidth, such as ADSL and cable modem. LinuxOne OS will support these new technologies with its sophisticated proprietary device drivers (software that provides an interface between an operating environment and its associated hardware)."
Don't you just love proprietary device drivers. I know that's what I look for in a product. (I also need what a device driver is explained to me).

Don't you mean crypto keys used as sendmail configuration files....
even more amusing is that he thinks that NFS increased unix's stability...

What about the night that Bill Joy wrote first versions of a large portion of the unix network utilites.
from their products webpage:

Seattle should have it. It was given to children's hospital.
It would be quite amusing (I might even hazard ironic) if this particular article fell victim to the self corrupting Database.
