Exactly.. If you use WHQL based certified drivers, you wont have many (or any) problems associated with 'Winderz crashin'.
I had severe problems with Win3.1, win95, winNT4, Win98 because there was either lack of driver support or the driver was soo shoddy, i'd be surprised the cpu didnt immediately barf.
When's the last time the Windows subsystem go down (and I dont mean the GUI component, X goes down just as frequently). I've only seen the network system go down once, and that was due to a trojan adware installing a new network stack.
If you keep your system clean with anti-virus, antispyware, and firewall it with an external device, the Windows box will be safe. Anyone who says different has never had a Linux box rooted and then remotely told to DDoS another network (playing with Linux at school and installed a bad ftpserver.. yep, my fault).
Well, for one "Wine Is Not an Emulator";-) WINE is a translator from X86 Windows API to X86 X-api. It cannot translate ANY assembly instruction.
Actually the problem would reside on how the busses are determined. My idea would be to run Windows on the X86, but then you'd have to make windows understand it's a host OS (not going to happen) on a XEN-like system manager. You'd end up with memory contention and sporadic bus function.
The possible answer is to run something you can hack (linux, BSD) and have it strap on one processor, and then run on both cpu's (by care of dual or tri-packed binaries). Your binaries would be 2-3 times bigger, but they would literally be portable to different architechures. Add static libs to them to be the absolute best.
---And it would be. The only problem is that Microsoft would need to a partner in that effort to get a Windows sub system running on OSX.
For certain reasons, I doubt that. I can see a blend from the WINE projects and individualised hacking. For an example, LK-2.6 can natively read and overwrite files, but not create new ones, or increase the size of files.
To counteract that, somebody wrote a NTFS.drv => ntfs native kernelmode driver. This resulted in full read/write operation that Windows usually uses, and all it requires (legally) is a windows nt-based CD.
Perhaps a blend of using actual honest-to-goodness windows files blended with kernel hack-einess would work the best.
---That might actually go for it but remember you'd be paying full price for a copy of Windows and full price + (because of the complex motherboard) for the x86 chip.
Not quite. Most all machines have Win2k or XP-home licensed on them. When I uninstall Windows and install Linux, I'll shift the license. MS can kiss my... if they think I have to buy a copy per install. 1 license per machine I have it installed on or a site license.. WE can choose.
And in terms of what CPU's to choose, I'd toss in a g4 or g5, and an AMB based processor. No sense in paying the Intel brand name tax.
Oh well, my big wish is to see computers with pluggable cards to add on darn near anything. Just have some really high I/O bus and plug in the card of your choice. It could be a graphics card, sound card, X86 cpu card, mips cpu card, ide drive card, interconnect card (to connect multiple computer busses directly: think pci to pci direct connect).
The original computer with this concept was the altair. Old machine, but beautiful concept.
---But those CPU's were different enough that there were big advantages (i860 could barely multitask but was built from the ground up for vector math....) What do you see as the advantage the x86 brings to the G5 or vice versa to make it worth the management cost?
Actually, I think the fact that there's just soo much non-portable binary software on the X86 (mainly in windows). To run 2 cpu's with portability between them, and teh ability to run otherwise binaries I could see as a very valuable hardware project.
---You know, file sharing programs, protocols, and services remind me somewhat of those gopher games that you find in arcades... you know, the one where you have this huge mallet; when a gopher's head pops up, you hit it on the head, and it sinks back into its hole; then, another gopher pops up, and so on.
It's called "Whack-a-Mole".
SPUTUM, SubConscious (go BOB) and them do that to spammers. Hit 1 and 5 more pop up, and thats bad.
For one, it's cases like this that Xanadu's trans-copyright.
You have to acknologe that stopping copying is impossible. Instead, it must be made easy to download content.. CORRECT and VERIFIED GOOD content from a known good source. Now, enter a micropayment system (which must be capable to handle 1/100 of a cent) and put meters on the network connections.
You could have a pool of songs that reside in the transcopyright zone and are per song at a reasonable rate (really, any rate you choose). You could legitly link to the songs, as each person would pay for it. The system even provides partial payment, so that tech like DVD movies could be dumped.. and the movie review site could link to the DVD directly, per frame. The link downloaded would be fractional (if that) of the cost of the show.
It's still tooo bad that we havent tried to implement this on a grand scale.. but the lack of very cheap micropayments stop most of it.
Reminder: WindowsNT line of OS software IS Posix compliant.
It doesnt actually run the POSIX commands correctly, it acknologes that Windows cannot run it.
There's 2 different meanings from "Posix Compliant". 1 is that we acknologe the API and do not just immediately halt the program. 2 is if it actually acknologes the command and correctly processes it.
Windows does 1, but not 2.
Why did Windows put Posix complaincy in the OS? The Military wanted it.
Linux has its niche of being the first free kernel. GNU folks created the tools to make the kernel, and are trying to make their own.
Lemee see.. A monolithic free kernel versus a microkernel with darn near everything as userspace;-) Hell, the only other microkernel worth its salt is Plan9, and it's "NOT FREE".
Touch the source and the Linux kernel might as well put (TAINTED) by your name.
Anyways, just cause HURD isnt usable right now doesnt mean it wont mbe in 5 years. Nobody says I have to choose only 1 kernel to test/run...
You ever try to cut the write line on an IDE device?
Never the less the bus schematics or stuff, it allows read-only access to the drive. Or it seemed it couldnt change the data.. But it's just me and these cables I made for that exact purpose.
Well, you can print PS'es instantly just by sending the ps file to the printer (assuming standard networked laser). HP printers have ftp enabled by default. Just PUT and PRINT;-)
You know, you're a retard. Go on LKML and say that same thing.. and you'll end up with patches and patches and patches they submited, along with engineers they bought just to HELP maintain the Kernel.
And how many programs did they submit patches for in the Linux community? Eh? EH? They've did a hell of a lot of good, and now you want to "Boycott them"? Why? They're not price-fixing or creating catch22 deals like MS did.
If you buy Red Hat, you buy the name, the quality, Linux commercial support (Like ORACLE and them), and tech support from Red Hat. After all, good tech support that actually has you back and running is worth a lot!.
---You, sir, are freakin' insane. You'd like to see the bloodbath that would probably ensue if it turned out to be true? You hate the results of the election so much that you'd like to find out that your republic had been destroyed?
The republic stands if the people stands, not if the government can "live". If it means a bloody removal of the offenders, God bless them.
---I desperately want not to believe this. As long as most of us have reasonable faith in our electoral process, we can get through pretty much anything. The alternative is probably not far short of civil war.
I have faith that the same families will get in to political positions, leech our money for pork and other inane things, and then get us to go with the next big crisis like the "War On *".
And when our civil rights degrade enough, people will care. We will fight, and many of us will die. Then again, our country's faith will be renewed, albeit with much less of a population.
Yeah, name 100 names from Wikipedia's "List of Jews" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jews

Grrrrrrrrrrr ;-P Beat me by mere SECONDS!
My long lost BROTHER!
Totally new meaning for "My internet connection is down". As in Hindenburg style ;P
Technically, Windows NT is based on a version of UNIX (BSD's).
Many copies of Windows includes the attribution requirement, or the binaries are directly from open source code (bsd of course).

I'd like to see somebody come up with a dual-cpu monstrosity using hyperconnect or such, and link a G5 and an X86 together.
;-)
Even slicker is to use the old neXt packed binaries and compile for both X86 AND G5. I figure Jobs came up with it, why not use it
And why do this? Best of both worlds. There's a lot of software that is only MS NT X86 binary structure.. this beast could run it.
oh, and this beast could bootstrap all those X86-only pci cards that you cant use in the Mac.
sort of governer in your teen's car?
You goo too faaast. Slow down or I will kill youh.

It's Sony's lil bastard child of the memory world: the "Memory Stick".
And what has capitalism taught you when only one dealer has the goods and people need it to run their devices??
Gentoo uses optimised source packages.
You compile from source, and has great package management.
Like I said, if youre not making an embedded system, why use it?
Why use this? Isnt package management and things like Debian's Dpkg, rpm and stuff are for?
That and I know nobody who uses this.
Then why does the US patent office allow software patents with no source code, or even no real implementation? Software patents defy this logic.
