Midnight Club for the PS2 crashed on me every 20 to 30 minutes (not usually in game mind you, but as I was manuvering menus...) when I was playing it. And others I've played have done the same (no names coming to mind).
This is just an occurance nowadays when companies are rushing their products to market before it is done. Blame the marketing department!

Ever heard of a beta test? Same kind of idea. The thing is that with this program, they will have the potential of thousands more eyes looking at the code, and testing it to see if it works right (which it usually doesn't).
I don't care who you are, but that many people costs a LOT of money to hire. So, why not have others do it for free? Sounds like a great idea for MS, and the rest of the people who use Windows 2K, because hopefully we'll get bug fixes faster.
Yes, case in point. I have been reading Slashdot casually for a few years now. And this is pretty much the last straw for me.
I hate how Slashdot has gotten so pro Linux everything, and Anti Microsoft anything. Even towards Apple now. It is just not a site I enjoy reading because it's not "Stuff that matters" to me any more.
Yes it's true that Crusoe does not have MMU built into the chip, but it DOES have it built into the software. And the software is on the chip itself. So, as far as the OS is concerned, MMU IS there.
I don't know about privilege being even in the software (I'm assuming so, but...) but nevertheless, the point is that even if there are not parts in the chip itself and rather are in the software, it does not make ANY difference to the applications and OS because it will still DO those things, just in the software.
And they did not take out most parts of the chip because they wanted to make shortcuts, but rather to streamline the processer itself and let software do the jobs where it was efficient to do that in software.
I don't know if this is forged or not, but here are the internet headers I got from the message:

Now, I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that he sent the spam from (at least the spam to me) copper.he.net (or Hurricane Electric).
I don't know if any of you heard about it, but down here in AZ, there was a big strike by US-WEST employees. I was unfortunately thrown into one of the backup teams, and I would not like to repeat that experience. So, if Quest wants to bring in their own guys, I think it would be for the best.

Just my two cents

I am finally done with Slashdot.
.deb files can be found at http://www.winehq.com/~ovek/ The libwine-dev is older because that hasn't been changed in a little bit.

Have fun!

IMHO that is.
