That particular comment was about the AIO implementation, which is so limited in the stock configuration that 'broken' is an apt description. There is a lot wrong with OS X from a system programmer's perspective but I hardly ever complain about it in public. I would if I thought it'd shame Apple's kernel engineers into fixing their shit but that seems highly unlikely. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
