Re: spinlocks

so whats the average developer go for these days...   20, 30, 40$ an 
hour?   on my pay, and generosity id be able to get a decent developer 
to do maybe 5 hours of work... and thats usually just enough time to 
wade through docs...  not even settle in and start programming....

unless someone wants to support and fund some serious (i dont have 
serious money.. i have the bastard child of "really, i mean it, 
pleeeeese" money) money.. i dont think it would get far.. but the idea 
in and of itself is a good one...

frank.
