Letting the World Know : Comment 207 of 216 | ANN.lu |

Too bad you didn't choke to the extent of not being able to come here and spit your bagel on AHN...

Yes, nothing impossible nor difficult to do. If you have any doubt about it, please expose it so that I can bash you directly on that one.
> Fork and vFork tend to be a pain to get right as does native POSIX threads.
Bullshit. You don't get how Q-box works... fork() will be a joke to implement, and vfork() is not even an issue, since you can implement it in AmigaOS too. And, btw, AmigaOS itself, plus ixemul, is an example hopw how these kind of things can be done. In the Q-Box case they can only be done better, since you can provide also binary compatibility.

You're mixing kernel and userland... You are definitely talking like one that doesn't know what he's talking about? Why don't you just shut your mouth up? You'd make a much better figure...
Loading executables is a _joke_, managing shared objects is a matter of _userland_ and can be left ot the userland binaries.

No, you _would surely_ come up with something that could run Linux/PPC binaries. |
