I wonder of all these creative heap protection mechanisms (GCC 4.1, NX, etc) will largely remove the need for managed code (ie Java and C#). If you can write in C++ and not worry about double-free()s that pretty neat. Maybe even a "disruptive technology".
I don't know if it was on purpose but your sig -- which mentions Intron (aka Junk DNA) is very apt. OSes can put Intron between Exon (useful DNA -- useful stuff on the heap) to detect badly behaving apps!
In other words, so-called "Junk DNA" may actually have a use... HEAP PROTECTION;-)
So its Windows only.;-( Since this started out as a 20% project you'd think that maybe the Google guy who did this for himself would want a Mac or Linux program!
Slashdot Mirror
... not. What Slashdot user would use HotMail?! I mean really.
I don't see the point.

Yahoo Mail already has a Calendar (like Microsoft Outlook) and Notes (like Microsoft NotePad) added a couple more apps doesn't seem far fetched.
So its Windows only. ;-(

Er, its on the top RIGHT for me!
Er, its not a "beta" its a "release candidate". Most people don't see any difference. Still a canard, I'd say.
... what could possibly go wrong?
Didn't the IIS astronauts repair/upgrade the Hubble Telescope a couple times -- might be helpful for an astronomer.
Me too, it's good.
I especially like the LACK of bells and whistles.
Yeah, sure! The Software company has paid some money to Microsoft to be part of the club I would bet. Isn't that a middleman.
No, they need non-MSFT companies for this to look ligit - that's all.
I just got one and its really cool. No static in the receiption (because of error correction?) and no paying a monthly fee.
Too bad you don't offer a link.
Looks like all those products from Cellboost are disposable! That kinda makes me sick.
They should get some envro-hater award.
Whats the timing issue mentioned in TFA?
Binary compatibility is nice. I means you can upgrade an application without recompiling every friggin library in the world.
In that case, why not use Transmetta!
MD5 is used in the HTTP digest authenticattion.
I hope they'll still support that!
Dell is crap.
I guess Google's motto doesn't apply to all. Don't be evil... except its OK to be evil to Microsoft (who are of course VERY evil) apparently.
Actually, if you think about it. That's when its the truest test of how evil or not you are. And I'd say they failed.
What if, oh say, Jesus was only nice to people who where nice to him? He wouldn't be very admire in that case.
Seems to me that can just make this list website like this:
Who do you want to call you:
[X] Telemarketers
[X] Charities
[X] Political Parties
[X] Police warning about crime in your area
[X] Use this choice for any new catetories
I also want FLAC. I can't see the point of encoding my music collection in anything else.
I totally agree with you. And its our tax dollar that are used to subside this crap.
