And very impressive, how Adam develops everything on a simulation layer and then transfers the thing to devices with barely RAM at all Fri, 04 Mar 2005 14:26:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread?

I'm surprised that neither the interviewer nor the interviewee mentioned the wireless sensor networks as described in Vernor Vinge's now classic sci-fi, "A Deepness in the Sky"...

Adam -- please tell me you've read that book. Sat, 05 Mar 2005 01:46:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? Running in a commodore64 emulator under BeOS pretty neat for the size of it.

I missed the pink background,sometimes it'S nicce that netpositive doesnt draw all that crap the other browsers do Sat, 05 Mar 2005 05:32:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? NetPositive doesn't support CSS... Sat, 05 Mar 2005 08:04:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? In the beginning of the interview, there was a link to an article explaining coroutines. Coroutines seems to have some things in common with cooperative multitasking (that we all like bashing win3.11 for having).

Am I wrong? What would the obvious differences between them be? Sat, 05 Mar 2005 13:29:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread? It is a trick to fake coroutines in C. I liked it very much:

For once a C trick which is about making things clearer.

Thanks for the interview, very interesting reading. Sat, 05 Mar 2005 15:52:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Anonymous) Comments http://osnews.com/thread? http://osnews.com/thread?
