I really doubt that these OEMs are serious about Crusoe. But it's clearly in their interest to play with the Transmeta stuff to put commercial (particularly price) pressure on Intel. Keep them honest.
Transmeta's R&D and production capabilities are what? Two orders of magnitude less than Intel's?
James' problem will be that there is no maintainer for that bit. If I recall correctly, it was a ptrace thing.
Nobody owns that stuff. So a patch really has to fall through to Linus and he's nowhere near coping.
If James' patch was against something which had an active non-Linus maintainer then it wouldn't be a problem. I'd say that describes less than half the kernel.
The best approach would be to find someone non-Linus who understands that bit and work it with that person. Andrea, Pavel, someone like that.
Is that the ePipe is useful because it "potentially saves up to 80% in telco charges".
This is because it uses bonded dialup connections instead of ATM, FR, ISDN, etc.
Guys, this is immoral. We highly salaried, wealthy individuals are exploiting the free-or-fixed local telephony charging regime to leave our data connections nailed up for weeks at a time.
Who really pays for this? It's the moms, pops and ordinary businesses who make their three minute voice calls and then get the hell out of the PSTN.
The ePipe would not exist if there was a fair telephony charging regime.

Many vendors are developing and offering this in their core and edge equipment. If an outgoing packet's source address doesn't belong to your AS, drop it on the floor.
This will make crap like this easily traceable and stoppable. May even become a requirement.
So all the newcomers to the 'net aren't using Usenet. This doesn't worry me in the least! The web-based chat boards are, frankly, tiresome. The SNR on IRC is near zero.
So. Us oldtimers are quite happy commincating with NNTP, thanks.
OK, I've been told off for being a naughty first-poster. Let's try again.
Suicide and mental disorders, of course, go hand-in-hand. I read with interest an article in an Australian national newspaper last weekend which pointed out that the highest rate of suicide is amongst males aged 24-40 (I think).
The highest risk group were men with children who had recently separated.
The point of the article is that most attention is being given to 'youth suicide' whereas more attention should be paid to the older men.
But it's politically unfashionable because it touches on the areas of child support, maintenance payments, deadbeat dads, suspect custodianship decisions, rabid feminism and wife-bashing.
I was pretty pissed off by it. If anyone took my kids away I'd go postal.
- It's too much RPC and not enough distributed objects. They support the concept of session/transaction IDs, (although these seem nicely spoofable). But the persistence model is too weak and object refs are not explicit.
- They're INCORRECT when they say that no current distributed protocols can be deployed on the current web infrastructure. IIOP tunneling over HTTP is quite simple and exists now.
SOAP is weak, but it's kinda cute and easy to implement. But Casbah LDO is better. http://casbah.org/LDO/

Nah. That's the slow way. Use gcc's calculated gotos. See http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/cs++.html for an example.

Long-term, Transmeta will get steamrollered.

Do you believe Jeremy Allison (SAMBA developer)? Wham, Bam, thank you maam.

But you have to know where to look. There are particular newsgroups where world-class experts congregate, where the latest news breaks, etc.
comp.arch
comp.lang.c++.moderated
sci.space
rec.running

How TF do I download the United Arab Emirates?
More seriously, what is so good about this thing? Any screenshots &/| short descriptions out there?
Does it use gas and GNU ld, or do Compaq supply the entire toolchain?
Does it work with GDB, or just ladebug?
Is its loader compatible with existing static and shared libraries?
I now wish I'd said "Oh shit..."
Hey, I'm Squirtle too.
Isn't that a funny coincidence?

Quick, think of something respectable to say so people don't think I'm just trying to get the first post.
aarghh. Think!

The Versalar feeds IP-on-ATM or IP-on-fibre direct into the OPTera core switch fabric.
I don't think there's any of the Bay Networks gear involved here. This is definitely backbone carrier stuff, which is Nortel's heartland.
Guys, before we can have a component repository we need a component model. We don't have one.
If I look at my email headers I don't see 'echelon.nsa.gov' anywhere in there.
Precisely how, physically, is this thing supposed to intercept the messages?
Confused.
Which would you choose???
What did the priest say when he saw the church was on fire?
I'm not happy with SOAP.

Effective coding requires intense concentration.
Silence, thanks.

What an utterly vacuous shot in the dark by an obviously cluefree nong. YTF don't these people get off their butts and go TALK to someone?
Analyst? ANALYST? Gimme a break. This is straightforward professional incompetence.
