>What commercial grade microkernels are
>written in Modula-2?
Technically I don't know of any microkernels written in M-2, but the AS400 operating system is written Modula-2. It might not be anymore, but it was originally. I know because I interviewed with IBM Rochester in 1988 and that's what they were doing. The AS/400 was new back then and they were selling like hotcakes. I had Modula-2 experience so that's why they considered me.
I didn't take the original idea too literally. What I did was demolish the original idea as being completely idiotic. Anyone who would think such a thing has no ability to think logically. The poorly constructed replies to that idea is further evidence that I AM RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG.
All my points were made earlier in the thread. If you cannot understand logic, then it's not my job to provide what you missed during your education.
Intel originally wanted to call their processor the Hardon, except in French. Unfortunately, the word celer in French means "to hide" making the processor the Hide-on, not the Hardon.
startrekmail.com is just a free mail service. Go to www.startrekmail.com and get your own. Unlike a lot of other free mail services, this one forwards mail to other accounts. I use it in the internet to hide my true e-mail address from the spammers, but they found it anyway.
Hey, I can sympathize with you, and I can offer suggestions. Contrary to whatever you have been told, it *is* possible for you to switch consulting companies. If you truly are indispensable, talk to your boss about it. Tell him that Manpower isn't giving you what you want, and if he wants to keep you working for IBM then he needs to help you switch to another consulting company with better benefits, like Ciber for example.
Dammit, the post above is NOT a troll. I'm a contractor at IBM and have been for a year and a half.
I agree with him. When my contract with them is done, I owe them nothing and they owe me nothing. We are both free to go at any time. This suits me more than permanent employment with them.
The wheat that everyone uses to make bread is a hexaploid plant. It is thought that all modern wheat is descended from three diploid ancestors about 10,000 years ago.
The articles linked said that 50 people in Japan die from fugu, not the 1 or 2 that you claim. Still pretty safe.
As for regular sushi, it doesn't kill anyone. Sushi is very safe to eat, and it's extremely yummy. If I find a person who won't eat sushi, and has never tried it, then I feel very sorry for them. But what can I do if someone wants to die a virgin?:-)
Actually the ones responsible for the bird holocaust aren't the beasts with 4 tires, they are the beasts with 4 legs. Kitty Cats that are let outside without a leash are responsible for a huge number of bird deaths.
Wrong. If sold, the subwoofer will probably be used to finance an upgrade of Larry's boat.
You might use the money to feed the poor, but Larry might choose to do something else. If you're whining about how Larry spends his money, it makes no sense to whine *after* he has earned it. Where were you when Oracle's sales were doubling every year?
"Presentation" is so damn annoying that some of us install Junkbuster just to get away from it. Radio Shack might have a nice presentation, but they've neglected to make a searchable catalog.
Commerce isn't about fluff. Commerce is about meeting a need that your customer has. Maybe retail stuff needs some fluff to get average Joe into the store, but in case you haven't heard B2B is where it's at. When IBM is buying 10 million resistors to put into a power supply, they will probably not go to Radio Shack.
This is a fallacy of proportion. Just because you are talking about large items and I am talking about small ones does not make you right and me wrong.
Just as poor starving people would not get more corn if our digestive systems are more efficient, poor starving people will not get more corn if these people didn't build the houses.
There is also another equivalent argument: Eat all your dinner, Billy. Think of all the starving children in China. The fallacy of the argument is that no matter what Billy does, the starving children in China are not going to get more food.
Anyone want to start a project that allows Windows machines to run Linux binaries? With the way it's going, that's what Windows will need to be a desktop OS.
It's nice to know that there are some kernels of undigested corn that are just being flushed down toilets, while a bunch of poor people are going to starve to death this winter.
Your argument is equivalent to mine. Do you see why it is unconvincing?
I would start the deorbit of Iridium tomorrow. Then I would seriously spank the designers and anyone else who dares to put up transmitters that intefere with radio astronomy

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here... this is the WAR ROOM!

They are blocking my Mozilla browser because their detection routine is broken.
Idiots.
Or even more than doubling...

Why not just learn how to write clearly? You've got a lot of balls expecting people to parse bad writing.

I can sell you some oceanfront property in Nevada. You seem like a good honest suck^H^H^H^Hcustomer.
You would be wise to also make your posts of a Spartan nature. Few people could glean an intelligent idea out of that morass of run-on sentences.

See my point?
"Presentation" is so damn annoying that some of us install Junkbuster just to get away from it. Radio Shack might have a nice presentation, but they've neglected to make a searchable catalog.
On the other hand, Digikey's catalog page has little presentation, but their catalog is actually useful.

Truth is something that stands apart from the person who speaks it.
I may be stupid, maybe not. The truth of my statements is determine not by my intelligence, but by their logical truth value.
Fine if you don't believe me. It's not my purpose to educate the world in logical fallacies.

Yes they are equivalent.

Well my two little dogs run Linux too.
They are a Beowolf cluster.
Victoria's Secret doesn't need a mainframe. Everyone knows that all the users of their site are palm pilots.

I hate to disappoint you, but no I am not.
