He doesn't mean cache. He means the size of the buffer used to copy files. With a larger buffer there are fewer reads and writes (each with more data though), so the process is faster. A larger buffer needs more RAM, so something may have to be swapped out to make space.
I'm surprised that they got him to be so open and reasonable to questions, but disappointed that they got some hot head amateur to do the interviewing.
Showing off his own stuff with no rhetoric behind it isn't informative and doesn't get anything interesting from the interviewee.
Read the fucking article. They're not implementing the API, they're using the existing MS implementation of the API and implementing the Kernel beneath it.
XUL does not have the potential to do this for one simple reason. Almost nobody runs Mozilla.
Yeah, I know we all do, but in the real world, on the desktops of people doing their internet banking, their web based email and so on, nobody uses Mozilla, so people cannot ship a web based app using Mozilla tech (XUL).
It would have to run on IE to have even a chance in hell of nullifying Avalon, and XUL simply does not, and will never, work on IE.
I remember when the US was trying to get a guy out of Australia (can't remember who or find the article - sorry) and people said that the US would never do anything like release someone who had comitted a crime over the internet, breaking a law in another country.
For anyone wondering, this is basically an XML wrapper for the MSI.
MSI files are binary databases that you had to edit with a nasty tool called oracle. The whole thing was counter intuitive. I could never understand why the MSI wasn't XML based from the start. It was written when MS was XML mad, after all.
This is brilliant. You can now work with a text source file format for the MSI.
"Since when was the word "aspirin" copyright?"
Perhaps you meant to say "trademark"?
God, I love it when retards on Slashdot do something retarded when picking up on others for being a retard and doing something retarded.
You're *all* retards.
"too good to pass up"?
He had really already made the same joke, directed at himself. His joke was that the Tivo recorded odd stuff, and he couldn't see why.
You made a joke that it was because he watched the odd stuff, but that was already implied in his original joke, wasn't it?

Maroons? Ha ha ha ha ha... ha ha ha ha... *sigh*
This sounds like an obitory. He's not sodding dead you fucking piece of shit. I'd like to kill you and fuck your lifeless skull.
"I must be missing something"
A sense of fucking humour?
This is a start up. This is their first product. They've called it the S5000. Wtf?
How about the S1, S0 or something?
Read the fucking article. They're not implementing the API, they're using the existing MS implementation of the API and implementing the Kernel beneath it.
"I wonder if Specops' David is a recompiler?"
Well read the fucking article and you'll find out.
"40% of Net connections are broadband now" Where did you pull that statistic from? Your arse?
I think ®, as it is part of the name token, so GNU/Linux® is still name/name, even with no brackets.

Perhaps they meant ((GNU)/(Linux®)), as Linux is a registered trade mark (a ®) of Linus.

Proves you wrong.
If it's by looks alone then Java is a rip off of C++.
Wow. This is written in C#. I wonder if we can get .NET banned now that we can prove it's used for illegal purposes :)
Educate me. What does it mean? Cock?

You're a moron.
That's why he mentioned Ghostbusters, you moron.
So whip it together with libcurl. Can't take more than a few days to do something like this.
What's your excuse for not including a return type for the main function? Does Slashcode also strip all instances of int? I think not, cunt head.
