given the modular design of Cell, couldn't an x86->Cell emulator module be built? Hardware emulation, on a hardware level. The module would talk the x86 arch to the outside, but talk whever Cell uses on the inside.
Would allow me to run every x86 app I have from winders to suse, but I wouldn't have to port anything to a new arch.
might be a little slower, but adding more modules could make the cell cluster look like multiple CPU's to an OS.
unless I'm missing something fundemental about Cell's design.
I got this at my last job as part of my second interview, thankfully it was a take home "quiz".
"You are stranded on a deserted island, thousands of miles from nowhere you are forced to survive with what you have.
You have a handful of nails, a hatchet with a hammer head, 100 feet of rope, a large lens and a few dozen square yards of sail cloth.
The island has a variety of birdlife, fishing and crabs, but mostly inedible seeds, very acidic but edible berries and a large grove of coconut palms.
One side of the island seems to be geothermally active with several hot springs and some sulfer smelling vents, and a large variety of volcanic rock, obsidian and flint along with some hematite and copper deposits.
Now given this very restricted and scientifically unplausible situation, how would you survive? Please take as much time as you need and give as thorough an answer as possible."
Unless I'm blind, where is the PDF?
I'd like to do some offline reading, I mean, isn't that what PDF's were for? Portability?
all in all though, not a bad read.
well being that are ARE just now getting "real" OOP into PHP, this would be the perfect time to start incorporating AOP.
When do you put tires on a car? After it gets axles but before you try to drive it.
Hopefully this concept gets incorporated into the standard PHP build eventually, much like a couple dozen modules that are there for hardcore users, the "average" php home basher won't use them, but they are there for those of us that do use them.
some professors can't explain the "Why" just the "How"
but with the hundreds of thousands of readers here, someone should have a good explination
so think about it 1-3 likely identical descriptions, or 40-50 like but different descriptions, which would you choose?
I've been using Apache 2 and PHP for almost a year on a pretty high traffic system and it works fine.
But I don't do any image work or odd compression or scientific formulas so I don't compile some libs in.
I think the Zend guys need to actually break down which libs shouldn't be run with Apache2
I don't see what the problem with Ego is, it can be a very good driving force, I've worked longer and harder on projects just because of my Ego, I know I can do it, my Ego knows I can do it, but doubt will hold you back, Ego can drive through Doubt.
Not to confuse Ego with Arrogance, I know of others skills, and when to rely on their knowledge over my own.
Ego is good, Arrogance is bad.

A sticky note that reads "Don't Touch"
gently taped over a thumb tack.
Taught several college roommates the meaning of "Read the damn sticky!"
"that aren't even experts on accounting"
From my past experience with them, even accountants aren't experts in accounting.

never heard of that before, apart from poorly cleaned pots with copper oxide residue or badly braised with a lead containing compound

I've written a few basic tools, like user /group management, ps, df, top (which if I remember right was a pain), and a handful of *stats.
I've always been a little paranoid so I have it setup on our Intranet, so you have to VPN in before you can access anything.

Yeah, because those Nigerian sprinters really train in well-equiped training facilities.
That's it, I'm moving to Denmark!
this shouldn't have hit ANY page after a day of mediocre, but not useless posts, Hemos seems to have dropped the ball on this one eh?

A degree gets you an interview. Ability gets you the job.
except that your looking for a string, so notepad works fine and dandy
