btw the comment on RAID4/5 and O_DIRECT... those are not exactly features that MeeGo is clambering for... neither my netbook nor my phone has 3 storage devices ;-)

But won't we need O_DIRECT for the new phone Oracle's releasing?

From the people who brought you Oracle*Mail, which took the world by storm, comes Oracle*Phone. (Requires constant always-on connection to your Oracle Enterprise Server, licensing fees only $6b per year per CPU, expiry of database logging complete content of all calls ever made extra. Comes with free whole-phone-network crash bugs. Oracle is not responsible for any side effects should you use this device in an unsupported manner, e.g. by using the device to communicate with any non-Oracle*Phone device, by plugging the device into the charger, or by holding the device above waist level while in use.)

I can't wait.

;)

(Oracle, at least pre-Sun-merger: pretty good backend software. Frontend software horrifically awful. Should they ever produce a mobile phone I suspect my silly litany above would be an *understatement*.)
