CIL performs static transformation on source code during compilation, not a dynamic transformation at runtime or a just-in-time compilation. See the documentation at http://manju.cs.berkeley.edu/cil/ for more information. Also, Java uses a virtual machine to run code compiled specifically for the VM. You might instead refer to Apple's Rosetta runtime translation from PPC instructions to x86.
True, although the IPW2100 chipset driver supports 802.11b and has been functional for a while. This marks the first release of an Intel driver that supports the IPW2200 chipset, which is also the first driver supporting the 802.11g standard in addition to the 802.11b standard.
SuSE 9.1: good experience, unproven kernel

I'm a long-time Redhat user (also a long-time reader, first-time stander-upper). I've been bouncing back and forth between Fedora Core 1 and SuSE ever since Redhat EOL'd Redhat 9. Fedora core 1 is more familiar to me since I've been using Redhat products for so long. However, I can't help but be impressed with SuSE. They've produced a very clean, very user friendly distribution that actually eliminated some of the problems I'd had with Redhat 9. I'd heard from friends who tried it that Fedora core 1 was not a good choice for laptops so, when it came time to install Linux on my new laptop, I went straight to SuSE.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much easier it was to configure my laptop's wireless card (D-Link DWL-650) in SuSE than it had been under Redhat 9. The graphical boot is beautiful and the default configuration is sleek and easy to use. I won't get into the whole default Gnome versus default KDE issue except to say that I liked the look of their default desktop better than the default desktop look of Fedora.
I upgraded from 9.0 to 9.1 three days ago and so far my only complaint is that my Cisco VPN client refuses to build under it. I've tried and tried, along with several other SuSE users in my office, to get the client to build under the default 2.6 kernel with no luck. Googling for help returns only a few references to discussion groups in German that say (roughly translated) "konfoundit! Cisco VPN clienten builden broken! Sheizer!"
I attribute the incompatibiltiy of Cisco's VPN client with SuSE 9.1 to SuSE's need to be on the bleeding edge. They're (arguably) the first big distro to release a version with 2.6 as the default and they've done an admirable job. Unfortunately, Cisco isn't going to get their ass in gear and support 2.6 until almost EVERYONE is using 2.6 as their default kernel. Oh, well.
If anyone has found or knows of a way to get the Cisco VPN client to build on SuSE 9.1, please post.
Actually, the NEAR mission has been one of the most successful recent NASA missions. It was built by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab (where I work!!!) at a cost $3.6 million below budget. Here's the JHUAPL press release.The NEAR mission is an example of the goals of NASA's latest rhetoric: "faster, better, cheaper". The official JHUAPL NEAR web site is here.
