Internet Nuggets

摘要

This column consists of selected traffic from the comp.arch newsgroup, a forum for discussion of computer architecture on the Internet-an international computer network. As always, the opinions expressed in this column are the personal views of the authors, and do not necessarily represent the institutions to which they are affiliated. Text which sets the context of a message appears underlined or in italics; this is usually text the author has quoted from earlier messages. The code-like expressions below the authors' names are their addresses on Internet.
