The problem is the number of people who are into Illumos and want a portable Unix server is insignificant. All products came with fixed overheads (e.g. cost of tooling to start production), which have to be divided over the likely customer

They do, sort of. Intel were using SPARC cores in at least one of their "Management Engine" devices in chipsets recently anyway. ;)

OpenVSwitch is a component in OpenSwitch. E.g. OpenSwitch uses OVSDB as its pub/sub configuration store, and also for other state. Other free software / open-source network projects like Quagga have been modified to take their con

Google Docs has the same behaviour for me as Evince on annoted-highlights: shows the highlight on the text, but doesn't show or provide anyway to view the associated annotation. Edit: Remove IIRC - justed tested Google Docs again and t

Yes, log^2(x) seems almost always to be used to mean [log(x)]^2 in the routing theory papers I tend to read. I agree with you though that using log^2(x) for [log(x)]^2 is horridly ambiguous notation that should be avoided! (Which reminds me

I think the table in IX is wrong about log^2(x) being the same as log(log(x)). For me, and my impression is for many others, log^2(x) means log(x)log(x).

Yeah, you can opt out of the ones at Schiphol. One time I got a security guard give me a talk about how safe they were, and why wouldn't I want to. They're millimetre wave machines, I think, so they likely are safe (certainly not

I download movies and TV shows using Bittorrent and index sites like TBP because of DRM. Often these DRM systems are not available for Linux, or if they are, they require installing some big blob of binary code. It is easier and more secure

Yeah, it's language sugar to capture variables (including automatics) from an outer scope and make them available to an anonymous function. This may involve copying the variables to other storage (e.g. to heap) if the anonymous functio
