glibc's abort() is even more complex:

http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=stdlib/abort...

Because it's not Microsoft who is contributing. They just paying Linux Kernel developers to build a driver for their HyperV. So, Microsoft does not contribute to Linux. They make it just run on HyperV because some customers need this "feature".

They only thing they are contributing is their hv driver to make Linux run on Mircosoft HyperV. HyperV has to support Linux. And the major hv developer is a former Novell employee.

Why this?

very sad...

I'm totally impressed that

b[o] = ".,-~:;=!*#$@"[N > 0 ? N : 0];

is allowed in C.

Snakeoil

I'm getting old, thought he is a HP-UX developer...

s/Hacker/Webdesigner/

Hehe, fair point.

The latter ;-)

Can we please stop this? When you don't like Linux on your desktop, don't use it. It's that easy.

True.

Ick, you’re right. I've looked at the tarball one or two days ago, and there was no source for the clipboard.

I'm wondering when he releases the clipboard source code. On the kernel side it's a custom character device. Currently he is violating the GPL. :-(

I hope CentOS 6 (and 6.1) will also be available very soonish. :-\

2.6.23 boots also fine. x86 and x86_64 were merged in 2.6.24, maybe here support for 486 without fpu got broken...

is linuxstart.bin the bootloader?

I doubt that, I suggest search a bit for his name and find out what he is doing for a living...

Very sad, you have read only the first few slides...

True. Please tell this also the kids who think sites like osvdb.org tells them how secure a OS is...

Thanks.

Then please start fixing all these bugs and submit patches!

Sorry, I don't get it. The Intel manual says on UD2:

"Raises an invalid opcode exception in all operating modes."

What is here undefined? LLVM must not generate such instructions except it it really wants such a exception. (Like Linux's panic() does on x86)

Sorry, this is exactly why HN sucks. Am I not even allowed to criticize you or ask questions?

And which rule is "Oh, the The Linus Circus is in town again. Good times." violating? It's a funny statement. I like it. I cannot see any flamewar topic in it...

Why are you down-voting this?
