The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

First, while I don't always agree w/what Steve has to say, I appreciate
him saying it. There are several of us (yes, I'll include myself) that
question some things on the System i, push alternatives like .Net, and
will point out that while the System i is stable, so are other
platforms. It's those that won't look at and won't discuss alternatives
that scare me. It's those with their heads in the sand that get totally
blown away when something new and better comes along.
OK, having said that..
Increasing the pointer size by a factor of 4 should be well
within the performance capabilities of modern day hardware.
You'd think. But I thought part of the performance improvement in the J9
JVM came from the fact that it was 32-bit not 64-bit based and therefore
faster. So evidence would seem to the contrary.
