Yes, and this agreement obligates Freescale to supply what Apple requests. It does not require Apple to buy anything. I wonder sometimes why Freescale let themselves into such a deal.
I sometimes wonder if Apple should be blamed for the fact that it's not the good old Motorola that we all loved.
It builds robustness into the development process to develop to two dissimilar architectures. That's the secret behind the robustness of NetBSD. And it's why 'Linux runs on everything' is laughable. Linux is just a kernel.
And it would have been insanity for NeXT, rebadged as Apple, to throw out their multiplatform OS. (NextStep ran on Intel, Sparc, PA-RISC, etc.)
And a 'full' college degree proves that you'll lap up whatever shit is dished out to you by any dubious 'authority' who has somehow clawed into The Hierarchy.
Really. If you didn't find at least a portion of your 'Professors' in college to be people you needed to say 'fuck you' to in some form, you're a pretty flat and vapid person.
'IT' is the data janitors. Certs tell you what flavor of monkey it is you're considering.
I get REALLY pissed when a recruiter looks at my resume, which states I've worked on small teams and did all the coding for the embedded controller and says 'So you have IT experience.'
'IT' is sorting paperclips, keeping the toner cartridges properly rotated in stock, and various other mundane 'information' tasks. The 'upgrade' from File Clerk 30 years ago.
And the reality (Stalinist Russia) that the book (Orwell's "1984") was based on is really motherfucking chilling, if you read the history (the Records of the Kremlin were opened up for awhile there, and a LOT of things have been fully documented now)
They don't come to the three of you because you have no certs.
You're getting by on reputation. Be careful not to move to another part of the country. You should even be cautious about moving to another part of the company.
It's dangerous to 'climb' within a company purely by reputation, without any documentation at all. I know. I was a 'Software Engineer' without the paperwork for quite awhile. I like what I'm doing now, but it would suck if I had my ego wrapped up in the work I do.
What makes you think the grandparent even hires anybody.
In a court of law 'slashdot handle' can admit he sells on eBay and the only people he's hired in the last four years was his kid sister, to bring eBay items to the UPS Store.
Lord help us all on the day when employers aren't allowed to excercise 'discretion' in who they hire. Did 'freedom of association' suddenly become illegal?
If a woman is being raped and beat then reaches for a stun gun wich ends up killing here attacker instead of imobilising him, is that all that bad? I won't lose and sleep over it.
The more likely outcome is that the assailant uses a stun gun to 'subdue' the woman, intending to rape her. It instead kills her. Assailant moves on to another victim (unless he's sicker than we assume).
No 'defensive' weapon can't be turned around to make it an offensive weapon.
You think 'Saddam' would retaliate in that fashion?
How?
I'm not saying it would be a good thing for the grandparent suggestion to happen, but the days of MAD (mutually assured destruction) are over. It's only a matter of time now before some third-world power nukes another third world power. Probably India or Pakistan.
These are the 'talking heads' not the writers and journalists.
You know, the people who like listening to their own voices.
I went to Tech School at an old-line trade school that also had a Broadcasting division. We techies considered the 'Broadcast' students to be out and out flakes. The impression I got was that to be a 'broadcaster' the resonant quality of your cranium was more important that whatever else might be in it.
I read forums and news sites instead of blogs, and I expect "news" to have some validity and fact-checking behind it.
You're contradicting yourself.
Or do you go exclusively to 'three letter acronym' sites based on the old NBC/CBS/ABC hierarchy?
Didn't you know that old time journalists always said 'when you flunk out of Calculus, you can always switch to Journalism School' (meaning- all the high-falutin' 'integrity' blather from 'professional journalists' is hot air. The old time reporters started as copy boys)
Back when I got my first MSDOS machine, I transferred all the stuff over from my CP/M system using three ordinary pieces of copper wire (transmit, receive, ground) between the machines.
Modem7 on the CP/M side, Procomm 2.4.2 on the 'Pee Cee' side.
Slashdot had an audio program for a short while. "Nerds from space" was what it was called. You got to discover what squeaky pubescent voices Malda and the gang had.
It's good to see these former minions of the Mainstream Media cutting loose and popularizing freer forms of communication and reporting.
However, they're probably cutting their own throats, since they're the folks benefiting most from the old way of doing things. They're propagating themselves out of jobs.
Which is fine by some of us. Probably not their intent. Watch them all scurry right back to 'credible big broadcast' mediums as soon as they can.
I didn't buy monitors at that sale. I could have paid $5 for several whole tables full of monitors after all the 'good' (bigger than 15") monitors had been picked off. Monitors, keyboards and mice are $2-5 items at yard sales.
Face it, hardware is so cheap these days that nobody is without it without deserving to be so.
If you had been around long enough to know what you were talking about, you'd know how expensive things like Sun's C Compiler for Solaris is/was, and why hackers traditionally installed the GNU toolchain for free instead.
Do the GNU programs on your machine constitute over 22 million lines of code?
I suppose it depends on wether you do any builds/compiles on your machine. The whole GNU toolchain (compiler, etc.) is a pretty big block of code. Think beyond all the granular little GNU utilities.
Notice that the link you give is to an "early experimental version" circa 2002, and there's no update since.
Could it be because that group from Debian just switched over to NetBSD whole cloth? I mean, what's the point in taking the NetBSD kernel and wedging it into a big sloppy Linux userland?
One suspects that some of this is alarmism from the media. Like all those cool pricey 'DOD Manuals' you can mail order from 'underground' publishers that turn out to be the same instructions for digging a latrine trench or rebuilding a Diesel Generator you could have gotten at the public library.
I wonder if the clever cyberspies have downloaded the minutes from any Town Meetings, or 'subversive' documents like Robert's Rules of Order?
The US should just import in more pop culture. That is what has successfully subverted communist regimes best in the past. Send 'em Ramones, The Clash, Gang Of Four punk rawk.

If you only test your code on one system, don't count on getting many PayPal dollars from people registering their copy.

It wouldn't be as difficult as you're making it.
Hook each computer up oriented to opposite ends of the bytes. (D0-D31 for Intel is D31-D0 for PPC)

Really. If you didn't find at least a portion of your 'Professors' in college to be people you needed to say 'fuck you' to in some form, you're a pretty flat and vapid person.
And probably eminently employable.
See, the issue is, you're not hiring 'IT' people.

No, and typing 'xyzzy' doesn't make them disappear in a puff of greasy smoke, either.
Yes. We don't care, but Jack really wants the guy to get to know him better. . .

To start with, probably a letterhead.
So, are you going to capitalize 'open source community' on the letterhead?
