THE FUSS ABOUT OSS COMMUNITY ROLES

Best of the blogs: Reacting to Sun's Simon Phipps, who posted about the

known as SSE5. "If you maintain operating systems, drivers, libraries,
or compilers that support AMD64 processors, you really should care about
this, and start thinking about how you'll integrate this instruction set
into your products," Martin Heller explains in SSE5: Should you care?
Those who develop applications in a high-level language might not feel
