CueCat
Remember when when the people behind CueCat were the great satan?
See where they are now.
This example shows how SCO is just a red herring. I'm sure they will have a similar fate -
Windows/386I guess I'll have to take your word for it. What little Googling can be done on Windows/386 makes it seem like a little known bridge between win 2.x and win 3.x, neither of which was preemptive. So I guess I find it a little hard to believe that Windows/386 was indeed preemtive and they removed that before windows 3.0 was released.
As far as Windows 9x being "less preemptive" than NT I was refering to the clearer distinction between user and kernel in NT. Obviously the kernel can't be preempted during a certain times, but with 9x, my understanding was that user programs sometimes ran pretty much like parts of the kernel. Coming from the DOS legacy, where there was no distinction between user and kernel.
I also don't know if I'd agree that a critical section means that a process can't be preempted. The definition I'd use has to do with guarding a resource. In fact, a recipe for a deadlock is when one process enters a critical section for a resource and is preempted before it releases it, probably as it tries to get yet another resource. When another process tries to get the two resources in the opposite order, you have a deadlock. Maybe you mean something different by critical section.

Oh No, Seth!
Looks like Verisign is being stalked by Seth
Could this be a sign that Verisign is about to become a slashdot editor?

Re:LEAVE DOWNLOADERS ALONE!
"Exactly. That is why I only shoplift at stores that do not have that pesky 'Shoplifters will be prosecuted' sign."
I really don't like when comments like this are modded up. These oversimplified metaphors are not useful. It's like when Valenti likened having backup copies of music to recieving a replacement lawn mower after it has been run over. Did he make a startling point, or did he give his enemies reason to think "Is this man an idiot? There's nothing similar about..."?

Don't like pdfs? Here's the TCPA paper in HTML
-
Associative processingWhen I was at Brunel University on a post-grad course, we built chips for Associative Processing (pdf)> or Google HTML that inherently used Ternary logic. The main chip that we built was an Associative memory chip, that stored binary data, but was addressed by searching for data. There were no address lines. It was a wide field - 40 bits,(this was late 70's) and you presented a search term as Ternary data on the input lines. Each bit was 1,0,X - where X meant "don't care". You could add one field column to another, without any of the data exiting the chip.
Say you wanted to add an 8 bit field - bits 0-7, to another, bits 8-15, and store the result in a 9 bit field, 16-24.
Search as follows (CC Field is Carry):-
Bits: C 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Whew. You have added the LSBs of the fields together, in 6 operations. There are 8 more to go. However, you have done it for the entire array which might be thousands of records.
Bits: C 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Find: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X # All rows
Writ: 0 0 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X # Clear output
Find: X X X X X X X X X 0 X X X X X X X 1 # 0+1=1
Writ: 0 1 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X # write 1
Find: X X X X X X X X X 1 X X X X X X X 0 # 1+0=1
Writ: 0 1 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X # write 1
Find: X X X X X X X X X 1 X X X X X X X 1 # 1+1=0 carry 1
Writ: 1 0 X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X # write 0 carry 1So there is a fixed processing time for parallel operations on all the data.
We still had to use two input lines to represent the Ternary value, but, remember, no address lines needed.
Content Addressable memory chips are also used for lookaside Cache memory in CPUs today.
Cheers, Andy!

Re:Sigh. No component out.
It'll do 720p and 1080i. Supported under linux? I'm not sure what you mean. Xbox media player is a program you run on your xbox, not on a computer. (you can run it from a burned disc, or off the xbox hard drive)
Xbox media player can read SMB shares with MPEG files in them, so if you have samba, that'll work. -

Re:Not to be cruel, but...
capitalist mutterfickers such as this should just keep their mouths shut. They exploit the innocent with their actions and words and bow down to the murderous capitalists and facists. Perhapse you should spend a weekend on the street and get to know what life is really like for 90% of the world. Babies without food. Hard working people displaced into nothingness in the eyes of society. Ederly people without family freezing to death at night. If this is your idea of America, beware for the Revolution will break the piggy bank. The fountain of life pours like a waterfall from the rubble of empires.
Calm down. Breathe deep...
Are we O.K. now? Good!

Emphasis on "Money"QuotethParentPost {
"Perhaps the GNUcash people could set up a pledge system where a bunch of folks can promise to pay some money"
} QuotethParentPost
Why would they promise to pay money, by using money that already promises to pay lawful money (silver/gold) and doesn't actualy pay lawful money? Why not just give the GnuCash developers some blank paper and a color printer so they can "configure; make GnuCash" ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H money themselves? Or, let us look at why we are stuck with only "promises to pay", or shall we say "promissory notes" and yet we find ourselves today having to promise to pay eachother a promise to pay lawful money?

Re:They did same sort of thing after TWA 800
Huh. Troll. I know, I'm probably burning karma by replying to this. I don't believe everything I read... but the evidence out there seems to be rather large against a center-fuel-tank-on-fumes explosion. Just look at the burn marks of the bodies (which the coroner repeatedly insisted was caused by fuel burning on the water, rather than from an explosion).
Or you could do your own research from articles published at the time...

Or maybe you'll believe military personell?
Major Frederick C. Meyer was with the New York National Guard's 106th rescue wing at the time of the crash. Meyer and co-pilot Chris Baur were flying an HH-60G helicopter over Gabreski airport in Westhampton Beach practicing landings. Meyer had an excellent viewpoint of the incident and was the first person on the crash scene. Whilst Meyer was keeping a close lookout for a Cessna that was in the area he saw "...A streak of light...moving very rapidly from my left-center farther to my left. It was red-orange in color...And then for an instant I saw nothing - and then suddenly right there I saw an explosion - high velocity explosion...It was military ordnance! A second and a half to two seconds later - farther to the left but down - I saw a flash once again - high velocity explosion." After receiving clearance to investigate further, Meyer flew to the crash area and saw"...A lake of fire, probably 3 acres in size, burning with flames 50 feet high...We worked around the upwind hemisphere of the lake of fire and the first thing we saw were four bodies."
I guess you don't care that it was flying in a military restricted zone, in the middle of military training activities?
Or the fact that more than 80% of the eyewitnesses (around 150) that saw a streak of light moving up from the ground were found to be credible by the FBI.
That rocket fuel found on seats of the plane must have been a fluke.
Nah. It's all conspiracy. It must have been the faulty wiring on the center fuel tank, which sparked (something that was never proven to actually be possible). Occam's razor be damned! Where's my foil! -

More info about the video.
Wanted to find out what happened to our poor AOL developers and if they were currently on the dole, I did a quick seach on google. Unfortunatly not much can be found out on them.
However did find a 107Meg version and a more detailed explaination of the video at Ninja Culter the google cache is here. -

Re:WrongI'm not making any statement about right or wrong, or political theory, or diplomatic convention, or international law; I'm merely pointing to facts I know - many nations *do* claim extra-territorial jurisdiction, under some circumstances (and a *lot* of people argue that they should be doing it more, or doing it less).
Here are some links referring to extra-territorial jurisdiction (or universal jurisdiction - the idea that some crimes are so terrible that every court has jurisdiction for the crime):
- Amnesty International statement on universal jurisdiction
- a UN resolution "Adopting the resolution by a recorded vote of 133 in favour to two against (Israel, United States) and two abstentions (Australia, Latvia), the Assembly reiterated its call for the repeal of unilateral extraterritorial laws that imposed coercive measures contrary to international law on corporations and nationals of other States."
- (html from google) Princeton PDF hosts an article titled "Multinational Pharmaceutical Corporations and U.S. Extraterritorial Jurisdiction". It has a nice description about some exceptions to absolute sovereignty, some of which are widely recognized, and some not.

Re:My favorite Matrix "easter egg":
Every time that someone says "God" in the movie, Trinity (if she is present) responds as if she was being addressed. This happens at least twice.
Unfortunately, this only happens twice (in the nightclub and in the car en route to the Oracle).
Search a copy of the screenplay online sometime. Neo says "Jesus Christ, that thing's real!?" after he's debugged and Trinity doesn't react. Trinity says "Goddammit", "God damn you, Cypher!" and "Jesus, he's killing him", thereby allegedly invoking herself. There are plenty of other times characters say "God" to or around Trinity with no reaction.
It's just an interjection, that's all. Of all the supposed easter eggs, this one's clearly a coincidence. -
Re:Rush needs to shape up
FAIR's claims against Rush were debunked long ago in one of his books.
If by "debunked," you mean "opposed by rhetoric without regard for the truth."

Google weirdness - "Jerry Jelusich"Okay, this is pretty bizarre - the second paragraph in the article:
"We have to provide information in all the languages our clients speak," said Jerry Jelusich, a procurement specialist for the county Department of Human Services, which serves about 60,000 mental health clients.
Okay... I did a Google on "Jerry Jelusich" (note quoting) and it returns only one result. However, when looking at the (strangely small) PDF document the Google link points to, the twoword "Jerry Jelusich" doesn't appear at all. Looking at Google's PDF-to-HTML conversion results, however: Google search on Jerry Jelusich result, gives the text "These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: jerry jelusich" at the top.
So if the quoted text only appears in links pointing to this PDF... and yet the PDF is the only result for this quoted text... argh, I think my brain is broken *grin*.
On the other hand, googling for "Franna Hathaway", (the other person quoted in the news story) gives heaps of Google results, most of which seem relevant.
Anyway, it's a strange story already, I just thought that some might find this sort of odd Googleresult to be interesting.
Pete.
PS. It's not a valid Googlewhack if the twoword is quoted, apparently. Oh well.

This site useful?
I did a quick Google Search and found this site that seems to answer your question.
I haveta admit though, if this answers your question, I'll be a little surprised you could't find it within Google. This was the first search term I tried. -
