1. Set of instructions comes into processor in one instruction set (like x86).
2. This device stores the data for this series of instructions temporarily
3. The device translates the (x86) instructions into its own internal instruction set and figures out an ordering that will not cause it to have exceptions.
4. The device retrieves the temporary data and "fills in the blanks" in the "inner" processor to get results, the so called "permanent storage" is probably the inner processor's instruction cache.
5. The data is cleared from the interim area once it's acted upon.
Nothing is meant to last forever and 'take over the world'. I think the long-term effect of Linux will be to prove the validity of the open source model to the broader software community.
Name one RELEASED standards compliant browser. Oh, that's right, there are none.
It's like the SQL standard, targets to shoot for that aren't necessarily met. I think it's better that the standards are now ahead of the released products rather than a bunch of non-defined things being fought out (and revised in.01 versions) on the marketplace.
perhaps this will fix the backups on my street, which occur only because the side-street lights are always green and the main street is where all of the traffic is so about half of the cycles are idle in one direction while there are bottlenecks in the other. Obviously, not designed by network engineers:)
So now you can have a system based on Proprietary Hardware (Sun) running on a Proprietary online service (AOL) and crashing just as much as Windoze (anything by Netscape)
Dude, I hope it's so. RCN has been checking out my building and digging up my street (alternately) for like the last year but haven't run any wires inside. And this is AFTER my landlord gave them approval. Please, m1
Java is a lot easier to write Windows apps in than MFC, IMO. And Perl scripts, if well written are alot more readable and maintainable and scalable than batch files. Management is interested in saving development time and if they're tied into Windoze choosing the "best language for the job" while still "having all the features" is a tempting thing. M$ sees this and gives it to them, so they don't jump ship. Developer relations is more than just providing the best technically elegant solution, it's giving the suits (or aspiring suits) what they want.
If it turns out to be evil, then don't use it. I know this has been said 1.0e6 times but you don't have to use anything. You can go on writing batch files, or WSH scripts, or using the open Perl distro or just sticking to Linux. But it may just solve some people's problems. Note that it's semi-proprietary to begin with (ActiveState) so users of that system may actually gain benefit from it.
Doesn't perl "take advantage of the platform features of *nix" right now, intentionally and without shame. Having the ability to do good system-integrated admin scripts on Windoze in something other than VBScript or J-don't call it java-Script would be a Good Thing in my book, and make life somewhat more tolerable for those used to the platform tightness on *nix.
most modern DOS attacks are pretty weak IMO, they require minimal effort and lack originality. The only use I ever saw from them was to expose holes in network protocol stacks, making them better (remember land or bonk anyone)? But thing such as SYN floods or smurf attacks are just dumb.
for fun, some friends and I had an XT online, running telnet, ftp, and irc clients, and I think we compiled an ftpd for it once. It was a decent terminal except for the fact that it could only scroll like 3 lines of text a minute. I think the 9" amber monitor is still in use though.
I'll preface this with the obligatory "I'm no cellular biologist" but...
from what I've read Mitochondria are believed to have originally been a parasite that grew to be in symbiosis with living cells, leading to today's condition in living things on earth. Very suspiciously similar to the discussion given in SW:TFM to how "The Force(tm)" works. Maybe they were just counting on the majority of the public, of which most/.-ers are not members, to just gloss over this.

It appears that the flow will be like this.
1. Set of instructions comes into processor in one instruction set (like x86).
2. This device stores the data for this series of instructions temporarily
3. The device translates the (x86) instructions into its own internal instruction set and figures out an ordering that will not cause it to have exceptions.

Nobody hates the Cubs, and everyone hopes they will win it again someday, they just haven't.
Plus they're not cursed...
The curse of the Bambino=The curse of Steve Jobs?
i.e. they never win but their fans are rabid
I'm one of them btw
Yeah, just send mail to postmaster@mpaa.com for free bootleg copies!

you cambridge ppl with your MediaOne...service varies widely for instance if you live in Boston or Somerville you're out of luck
those 2 people who run Domino on Netware will be pretty unhappy.

I mocked their commercials, but it appears that one way or another they intend to make the statement true...scary.
At first I thought this was a VERY late April 1 joke, but no such luck.
On the other hand, I've been saying that MP3 was "going mainstream" for the past 18 months or so, and here's proof of it.

I read an interesting piece on something like this, that the goal is to die in front of Luke, then you come back as an all-powerful ghost...
sounded kind of strange to me, but is relatively consistent.
as evidenced by the Indiana Jones trilogy, Speilberg and Lucas go way back...
