Coding standards

If you want to reconsider the GNU Coding Standards for C, you could check the excelent CodingStyle.txt file in the linux kernel documentation directory.

To err is human, to really screw up, you need a computer

Petkovsek, Wilf, Zeilberger

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer.  Art is everything else we do

Respect the classics, man! It’s Sex Pistols – Anarchy In The Uk!

Right! Now! ha ha ha ha ha
I am an antichrist I am an anarchist
Don’t know what I want but I know how to get it
I wanna destroy passer by
Cos I wanna be anarchy!
No dogs body

Anarchy for the U.K it’s coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a trafic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme
Cos I, I wanna be anarchy!
In the city

How many ways to get what you want
I use the best I use the rest
I use the enemy I use anarchy
Cos I I wanna be anarchy!
It’s the only way to be!

Is this the M.P.L.A
Or is this the U.D.A
Or is this the I.R.A
I thought it was the U.K
Or just another country
Another council tenancy
I wanna be anarchy
And I wanna be anarchy, know what I mean
An I wanna be an anarchist
Get pissed destroy!

Microkernels vs VMMs

Since the famus email war between Linus Torvalds and Andrew Tanenbaum, I never read something similar.  The initial paper against microkernels was writed at University of Cambridge and you could read it here.  The response from Karlsruhe University and NICTA is, off course, in favour of the good old dog, L4.  This last paper could be readed here.

Chinese Proverb

I hear and I forget,
I see and I remember,
I do and I understand.
