I'm just a rank beginner with linux, but have been a WinNT programmer for some years now, and have been long told that Microsoft's C compiler has a way better optimizer than GCC does. Is this true, and if so, how large an effect do you think this will have on the performance of the kernel and the modules tested (apache, samba, etc) Thanks.
As an Australian, I have to say I am honestly embarrased by all this. I read the comments made, and cringe. How can our government be so stupid? How can they not know how ineffective this will be? I think of situations like Utah, where filtering software blocked access to breast cancer research web sites and copies of the King James Bible... We're not all like the brain dead politicans, do please don't judge us all by their actions. I am a Christian, the type you all love to hate, but I don't know of a single computer literate member of my church who agrees with this.
