bochs doesn't just remulate an x86 chip, it also has to emulate hardware (and video), check memory accesses, etc, so a 10% increase in x86 emulation doesn't cause a 10% increase in overall performance... though inlining would certainly get rid of function setup/teardown code and allow for better register optimization in the core.
PPC was designed with emulation in mind. When you have 32 gp registers, it's easy to alias them to the x86's 8 gp registers. Also, VPC is a commercial product written by people that have *years* of experience writing x86 emulators back when Macintoshes were running on 680x0s at 40mhz or less. The GNU coding standards state that it's ok to assume unlimited core memory, processing power, etc.
well, premature optimization is the root of all evil... I haven't checked the source code, but modern compilers (gcc, icc) can inline some functions if given the incentive to do so, which would give a small speed bump.
So I think it would be best to bite the bullet and go all the way. It will require some planning -- the gcc folks would have to decide gcc will read unicode in 4.0, and Linus would have to decide linux 3.0 will be in unicode. Then the various distributions will have to come out with "unstables" or "rawhides" or whatever they call them, and slowly beat thousands of little apps each with their own presumptions on the size of a text character into submission.
gcc is a poor place to start the unicode revolution. A more reasonable starting point would be a --utf flag for the gnu text utils, [ef]grep, etc.
GCC does support using L".." to generate unicode/wide string constants, and has for quite a while.
A lawyer-friend of mine told me a story about some notorious local criminals... these 2 brothers ran a roof repair shop, and they would go out and drill holes in people's roofs, to drum up some easy business.
Later on, one of the brothers got greedy and killed the other with a ballpeen hammer.
I get a lot of spam selling Penis Enlarging Pumps. Supposedly they add 3-4" to your cock, help you pick up chicks, etc. etc. Does anyone really know any good articles about this? Is it dangerous? The fact that it's being sold through spam is enough to give me pause, but I want to know if there are any legitimate uses for a 10" pecker.
Intel has donated code (and money) to the FSF and Red Hat (and other distro's). Hell, they even financeed the BeOS x86 port!
That's a fuckload more than transmeta has done for linux. (Hiring Linus was a marketing move and little more).
Call it flamebait. Personally, I wished the transmeta had succeeded. The idea was (and is) incredible. But they're basically just an expensive, low-speed celeron. wank-wank.
I'm not saying AOL/TW is saintly, but they are pretty good for a large media company. They could be a lot worse, yet all I hear is complaining.
How about recognizing them for not being total pricks?
If CmdrTaco rapes you up the ass, would you thank him if he gave you a reach-around?
If people never used compiler extenstions, then you would never have to run./configure:)
WRONG! gnu configure checks which compiler and version you're using, but it spends most of the time checking for #include files, libraries, and functions. Those are dependent on the OS and libraries installed, not the compiler.
GCC proper doesn't use any extensions (since it may be compiled by a non-gcc compiler).
they are responsible at least in part for Mozilla, ICQ, Winamp (which is being ported to Linux), and send free coasters as a courtesy in the mail.
Let's see... they bought netscape (after the open source mozilla project started), bought ICQ, and bought NullSoft/Winamp. PS - there are already hundred (yes, literally) of FREE (open source) mp3 players for linux.
They are a media conglomerate, but they are about as non-evil as they get.
Yeah, and Stalin looks like a regular saint compared to Hitler.
They are also Microsoft's second biggest problem, and anything that annoys them is fine by me.
An enemy of an enemy...
Read the papers some time. AOL/TW's biggest problem is AOL/TW.
Back on topic, money seems to be the only thing spammers care about. $7 million is bound to be an eye opener
right. Just have the appopriate (redundant) libraries installed, and double your ram, and ignore the widget set that sticks out like a sore thumb and behaves slightly differently.

VMWare = "free" as in keygen
PS - Plex86 is also "free" as in herpes

it's open source, so you can just spend a couple months trying to understand the source code enough to implement the 0xCD interrupt.

Excel runs on Mac OS X.
That is rather naive. I challenge you to look at FrreBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD.
*BSD is written in ANSI-C (and icc compiled it fine 2 years ago).

he is making himself useful. At least to me. While he's busy reading slashdot, i'm busy satisfying his wife's womanly needs.
don't worry, reality will be giving them a wakeup call in a couple more months, when they find themselves unemployed.

No, they also care about enlarging your penis.
Then, the CEO can suck your dick for a change!
in communist Russia, since everyone was poor, mothers had to cut holes in their children's pant pockets so they'd have something to play with.
actually, your wife told me that she gets her toys from eDildo.com.
yeah, but you don't live next door to a preist.

I'd like to remind you that goatse man is French.
Red Hat db uses postgresql with some gui control programs thrown in.
