Hi, I've been working with the ti c6x for about a year now. The reason why no-one will port linux to it is that it doesn't have an on-chip MMU and I'm not aware of a simple way of adding an external one. Also my gcc port is coming along very slowly:(
Your issue 3A is a load of crap. Firstly, one case does not mean you can use the phrase "in general", so this is just offtopic bullshit. Next, I had a look at your link. I'm Australian, so I'd never heard of this case, but there are 2 examples which come to mind. The first occurred in 1980 in Australia, where Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murdering her baby. She claimed a dingo took it. The coviction was later quashed, but it destroyed her life. The next example is the case involving Ruben Carter, (the song 'hurricane' by Bob Dylan), where cult status was made out of a murderer. The point is that standing on the sidelines, you can't know what's going on, so you have to tread a very fine line.
Well I would have to disagree that either of your 2 points are essential.
firstly, while the media might portray a model as being *right*, the simple fact is that guys actually prefer women with a more rounded figure and a general feeling of warmth. And it doesn't matter what men expect on a date, as soon as she looks at him that way, then it's all over, appearances go out the window.
secondly while perfection is relative, it's not relative to what the media says, it's relative to the childhood of the person. This applies to males and females.
If you're looking for real answers, then the best place to start is the mirror, because that's where you'll end up in the long run.
Well I have to take personal offence to this post. I've been forced to use various MS operating systems over the last 3 years at work and there's only one thing in windows that I consider to be a worthwhile feature. That is, (of course) the dinosaur cursor that comes in the plus pack. If it wasn't for this feature the whole 16 million lines of code would be a waste.
hi Bruce, I think you've missed the mark a little with your superstar description. I believe that one of the main reasons Linus is so successful is that he doesn't fall into the trap of thinking he's a superstar. Anyone who reads linux-kernel knows what his reaction to a comment like that from management would be, simply "go away". Basically, if you employ someone who's really good, they will manage you where you fall short.
cheers Greg
P.S. You Americans just don't get vegemite, it's a concentrate. So next time try just a little bit.
The short answer to your question is the size of the community is important. Because Australians have a smaller and more diverse community they rely on each other more. This places a limit on how badly we treat each other. Unfortunately, as the community changes, so does the limit.
One of the really big positives in all of this is that because of the net, the effects of treating people badly are fed back to the perpertrators. It's difficult to have progress without communication.
One of the things I find amazing about the US is the way companies which act like bullies are put on pedestals. In Australia, we tend to get really stuck into our monpolies if they get out of line (Telstra for example). Although strangely enough we don't treat American companies the same way (although we desperately need to).

Hey, that's a great idea. While we're at it,
let's release Gnome as version 1.0, so then
everyone will know it's ready for the desktop.
