"A few days ago, everyone read about this year's WalterCon being canceled, which left people with non-refundable, non-transferable [airplane] tickets (you can read Mikesum32's reaction here) in their hands. Fortunately for them, an alternative has now been set up, and they will be able to still meet, in San Francisco, on August 11th. The venue? Picnix 16, a Linux gathering. The name? FalterCon 2007. Read on for my thoughts on this."

WHERE THE HELL do I claim Haiku does not have SMP support?
"There is a couple of projects out there called Linux and FreeBSD. They initially did not have SMP support and retrofitting it was an obsolute pain. FreeBSD is still struggling. It is YOU Thom that obviously have a lack of understanding about OS development. The majority of machines beeing sold now are SMP (or multicore if you wanna split hairs), and not factoring that in from day one in an OS project these days is just a sign of incompetence."

"If you are thinking about what I said about retrofitting, I was refering to NEW code (which is clearly not SMP safe in many cases)"
Could you elaborate more on this ? If you really know where the problem are, could you please open some tickets in our bugtracker ( http://bugs.haiku-os.org ) ?

"On top of that, your claim that Haiku does not have SMP support is... "
WHERE THE HELL do I claim Haiku does not have SMP support? Point me to the line, please. I started my complaints about Haiku not BOOTING IN SMP mode, but sort of works with the non-SMP kernel.
With a bit of thinking power, you should then realize I do know Haiku is supposed to support SMP. I'm saying it's severly broken.
If you are thinking about what I said about retrofitting, I was refering to NEW code (which is clearly not SMP safe in many cases)
In fact, I used a lot of BeOS MT kits in the past, so don't do go there...
