"Waterboy with the bucket - if you didn't want the job, you shouldn't oughta took it" -Sly and Robbie (with Bootsy Collins) The borg OS viruses have access to all levels of the machine and all partitions of the hard disk or disks. The bios flash memory and every piece of hardware. How ironic then that we speak of somehow taming a virus floating within a virus to ultimately go the next step of low level formatting and repartitioning the Windows hard drive for a higher level purpose. Who needs API documentation when you have BIOS documentation? As to transmeta, they discovered that emulation costs 3db or so. I think they could have just talked to a water boy. Oh my ni quist sample the waters of information. We had a fellow on the SI 'justsendusthemoney.com/orderly transition of capital from MSFT to SUNW' thread, post that he's able to run Windows98 programs on a 400hp Mac PowerBook with an emulator at the same speed (or faster) than a 400hp Windows notebook running the same crap natively. I thought that was intresting. scaling the OS from cell phone to super computer Oh please. <g> Listen Thomas, this scales from a 386 to a commodity rack mounted co-location cluster. IBM made a mainframe port because they felt there customers weren't confused enough with the 15 other operating systems being sold by IBM already. Anyway, it's Java that scales "from smartcards to super computers". That smartcard thing is kinda key (no pun intended). IBM, like SGI, DEC/Compaq, and HP are a bit shellshocked from this Sparc/Solaris thing kicking their butts. Nya nya nya... <g> -JCJ
