It means the application itself executed faster, but spent marginally more time in syscalls.
You'd be surprised. Implementation details may be related; perhaps Java's hash map is simply faster...
They can already do this. I'm not concerned about changing implementation details.
The former exists; it's called "alien", and I wouldn't be surprised to find tools to do the latter. As to being easier, you've changed your workload from "package everything in the world" to "support...
Maybe yours looks different, but my BIOS looks like a fullscreen curses interface. Features are laid out in logical order and simple to manipulate. You're implying that by virtue of being presented...
Eh? Assembly has a one-to-one correspondence to what most people refer to as "machine code"; i.e. binary. Assemblers exist purely as a programmer convenience.
You could say that the x86...
Yes it is, which is why that particular paragraph makes even less sense than the rest of it. I seriously doubt anyone actually still builds a BIOS in assembly.
So does text-based EFI. The...
So you're against this technology based on the belief that unfounded assertions of being "graphical" in the article imply it will be buggy, insecure, and generally horrible?
I don't see the...
Sixth: After you've set up this repository, you now need every other distro to change their tools to make use of it, or write tools that can coexist with the official ones (and then it takes on a...
Zilch. Shiny interfaces are also optional, so I don't expect to see any more of these. They already exist anyway; calling it a feature of EFI is misleading.
Maybe, maybe not. I've yet to hear...
Not necessarily; if the dictionary is defined as a class variable then you can simply pass self explicitly to the methods.
That would be a ridiculous restriction; more likely it bars the use of things like SQL- e.g. "real" databases.
There is nothing to stop you, but there's no good reason to, either. There's too many software licenses already.
License proliferation
Yes. It's silly though.
You aren't, but wxWidgets apparently is. You can't. Why would you want to?
If it's even possible. Consider also that wxWidgets itself might not even use zlib; perhaps one of its dependencies...
Uh, those are device files.
Yes you can; / is the mount point itself. Boot a live CD, mount the drive, and chmod whatever directory appears in /media.
If the system still boots, and you can get to a root shell (recovery mode may or may not work), then simply revert the permissions:
chmod 755 /
Otherwise boot a live CD and repair it from...
I like InspIRCd; alternatively I might put Charybdis forward. I also generally prefer/suggest building IRCd's from source.
InspIRCd's documentation is pretty helpful; possibly the main...
Which exit() are we talking about?
There is a syscall called exit() (C's version is _exit()) which you are calling, and libc's exit() which eventually does the same thing- issues a syscall to...
Yes, a fifteen year old OS that came with recommendations of 8 MB or more will probably run better than modern ones that can barely fit a kernel into that.
Feature rich, maybe not...
(Look at...
It used to; not anymore.
It is acceptable so long as you do not mind being tied to Linux syscalls. "int 80h" issues a software interrupt, which is a simple means of performing a kernel...
What exactly is segfaulting? If DumpRegs is being called properly and _start is what I think it is, leave/ret won't work because this "function" isn't supposed to return.
To directly solve your...
There are graphical tools to build packages? That's new to me.
For something so simple, though, it seems to be surrounded by a mass of policies, rules, overlapping tools and guidelines that make...
Not that I know of, but there isn't much you can mess up; Eclipse is rather non-invasive. Download a tarball and unpack it somewhere convenient. Run the "eclipse" binary contained therein.
Because packaging is a different skill than programming, and not every developer has it. The odds of a project having someone who is able to package for the distro you happen to use goes down with...
