Exactly the thing I'd expect from Ambrosia. For those cynics out there, they have an excellent track record. Avara 1.0.0 came out while I was in high school--and hasn't EVER been patched, cheated on, or broken in a major way. Of course, Andrew politely ignored me on IRC when I asked for an X11 port.;)
Heh, while I'm stuck down in Portland working, my mom emails me from home in Redmond to tell me that the family dog exhausted himself barking at all the thunder. Although Portland didn't have too bad of a lightning show the other night--it reminds me of when I was travelling through New Mexico and saw a lightning storm that reset the arcade game a few friends of mine were playing.;)
We used a 1604-VLZ when I was working for my high school's TV station--man, that thing was smoooth. Didn't get to be sound guy that much, but it took every single crappy output we gave it and begged for more... Once, the teacher who ran the lab had most of the equipment in his car; out of a DV handycam, Panasonic video mixer, and one of the studio quality cameras--the Mackie 1604-VLZ was the only thing stolen.;) (We did get it back--the kid that stole it simply put it in the backseat of his car. Mr. Guard just made a visual sweep of the parking lot.)
1. No more than wake-all, I would wager. Note his comment that "only one process wins", the rest go back to sleep under wake-all. With wake-one, just the one that's going to win wakes up. The rest stay dormant. I don't see how that aids "controlling all network processes".
2. Where exactly did you see this? I didn't see a note saying "Oh, Linus thought that it would be cool to reroute the network system directly into hardware access."
Giving up privacy and security for entertainment? All that was listed was more soundcard support, better memory allocation for the soundcards, and support for the "DoubleTalk". I didn't see DVD mentioned at all, and I'm curious how improved soundcard drivers contribute to less security.
As far as this "If Pranevich is right", and "Mr. Pravenich never once used the words 'privacy,' or 'security,' or 'stability' " angle, may I refer you to the standard disclaimer he posted: " this is a rough draft document, it may be wrong. In fact, it may be very mistaken. It may be choppy, it may have misspelling, it might even break all the syntax rules of the English language. Most certainly it will omit your favorite "pet" change to Linux 2.3 and you may be inclined to send me nasty emails." I realize you're a newbie, but reading a preliminary list of changes and then extrapolating that everyone working on Linux is omitting things that are in the OS by sheer design doesn't really make sense.
Have you ever considered that there simply isn't anything earthshattering/newsworthy in your favorite areas today? Hm? Of course, there might be, and you might be composing a reply right now saying "yes there is, jerkoff!". Great. Why haven't you submitted it to Rob and Co. yet, then?
If you've submitted something fairly newsworthy, and Rob n' Co. have ignored it/blown it off, then you've got a reason to complain.
