Be aware, from this end, it seems Internet buffering is confusing our conversation. At this end I'm seeing, for example, Pat replies to Jim with an answer for a question Hale asks later in different words. This then leaves Pat unsure how to reply, hoping instead for Hale to volunteer to rejoin the thread where Pat & Jim left off. Specifically I look forward to having people hear & answer two nutshells I found compelling: > Subject: just use Pio > From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Saturday - January 26, 2002 9:30 AM ... > Subject: UDma != Pio for byte count negotiation? > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Saturday - January 26, 2002 8:11 AM I still have hope we will jointly succeed in escaping the syndrome of "If you just say life shouldn't be this way, and I just say it is, and you just say it shouldn't be, and I just say it is, we have nothing further to say." In the mail cited above from me I gave a couple of examples of falsifiable (i.e. scientific) hypotheses about how life really is. Specifically I find the theory that the host knows in advance how many bytes will move which way whenever no ERR is reported to be readily falsifiable. Sorry I was so slow to imagine that anyone lived in a world where that theory does hold true. Me, I work mostly with commodity desktop hosts - Apple, Microsoft, Linux. > I really hope PAT reads all of it. Personally, I imagine I will be mostly offline for the next week or so - I'm finding <http://www.usenix.org/events/fast/tech.html> to be pleasantly overwhelming. Sorry for the short notice. Enjoy.
