At any stage, you can only find bugs that are introduced at or before that stage.
That's misleading. While it's important to find bugs in each phase, it's even more important to follow practices in each phase that help prevent bugs in later phases, for exactly the reason you gave.
That's exactly the point I think. Some people prefer bottled water and will pay for it, even if tapwater is free. Likewise, some people prefer CDs and will pay for them, even if mp3s are free.
Ritalin Cures Next Picasso
WORCESTER, MA--Area 7-year-old Douglas Castellano's unbridled energy and
creativity are no longer a problem thanks to Ritalin, doctors for the child
announced Friday. After years of failed attempts to stop Douglas'
uncontrollable bouts of self-expression, we have finally found success with
Ritalin, Dr. Irwin Schraeger said. For the first time in his life,
Douglas can actually sit down and not think about lots of things at once.
Castellano's parents reported that the cured child no longer tries to draw on
everything in sight, calming down enough to show an interest in television.

Yep. Taking a look at the
HyperQueue page,
it seems like this nonstandard IPC technique, using not much more than shared memory pages, only manages to run about 2.2 times faster than Unix Domain Sockets. That means they can transfer a gigabyte in 0.48 seconds rather than 1.1 seconds. Well, for a GUI, who cares? Who needs to double their transfer rate at the expense of portability, especially when I really doubt transfer rate is the bottleneck in X.
Perhaps it is semantics. I define "aware" with regards to Parnas' notion of information hiding. I think perhaps you are defining it in terms of runtime decision making performed by the code, but personally I don't find that to be a useful concept.
If I write some terminal display code that word-wraps at 80 characters, don't you agree that this implies the code is "aware" of the fact that my terminal is 80 columns wide? That knowledge is embodied in the code; given that code is not sentient, I can't think of a more useful concept of "awareness" than to say that a piece of code is "aware" of all the facts it embodies.
Likewise, if I must port an OS to Xen, thereby embodying in the code some assumptions about Xen, do you not agree that the code is therefore "aware" that it's running on Xen?
Like if you make a Java VM to work on a coffee machine's embedded system, are the user Java programs aware of coffee? No.
Try to keep track of your own analogy here. If you port the VM to work on a coffee machine, the user programs are not aware of it; same with Xen. However, the VM is definitely aware of it, just like the OS is with Xen.
Good grief, brother, they have devited almost the entire section 2 of the paper to a comparison between Xen and Denali. If you missed that, I have grave doubts that you actually "skimmed the paper".

A simple search-and-replace on that code will wipe out your clever watermark.
If we learn anything from the likes of Microsoft, I hope we learn a little about self-promotion.
That's exactly the point I think. Some people prefer bottled water and will pay for it, even if tapwater is free. Likewise, some people prefer CDs and will pay for them, even if mp3s are free.
I refer you to this.
You, sir, did not read the article.
What are you talking about? Being non-trivial is already a requirement.
Everyone knows a patient's positive thought helps heal. That's not worthy of investigation. This experiment was trying to detect whether prayer helps.
Could it also be a Flash killer?

I infer from your attitude that you collect every last dollar you don't desperately need and dotate them all to the poor.
Take care.

In Toronto, I have seen TTC busses leapfrog each other, presumably for exactly this reason.
Yep, good point.
No, you don't want the compiler flags equal. That's not a realistic comparison. Tune all the settings for each platform.
Here's a interesting phrase from that article: "hundreds of acres across".
Did you notice the comma? It's not "Galileo consumed by Jupiter", which is past tense. It's "Galileo, consumed by Jupiter" which has no tense.
