London Stock Exchange Tackles System Problem
DMandPenfold writes "The London Stock Exchange has taken steps to resolve a system problem that occurred at 4.30pm Tuesday, which saw a delay to the start of the closing auction and knocked out automatic trades during a 42 second period. The problem occurred a day after the high profile launch of its new matching engine on the main equities market, based on the SUSE Linux system from Novell."
So, they replaced a C#/.NET infrastructure with C++/Linux and apparently didn’t test it? Now, I’m not the systems engineer involved with this, but I have a hard time believing that something like this didn’t come up in testing.
At least now they have the ultimate answer, now they just need to work on the ultimate question.
Why is this news? None of the several hour long outage calls I've been involved with were ever on the news.
This just shows that it's hard to build these highly available, low latency, massive usergroup systems. Previously there was a lot of chatter about the platforms (.NET, MSSQL 2003, etc...)
The problem is more likely to be internal organisation than specific platforms.
... should have stuck with Windows eh?"
I just know some Microsoft fanboys (they do exist, check out Neowin.net for examples) are gonna latch onto any and all problems that occur after the switchover, regardless of merit.
Imagine telling a trader in the 1970s that we had a 42 second outage in the stock market, it was all over the news, and a few companies probably lost hundreds of millions in revenue.
Of course guilty are SUSE with NT kernel and Ballmer.
Liffe[sic] the universe and everything.
Translation: "we noticed ntpd wasn't running and the time on the box was 42 seconds out"
I've seen this too often in my 25+ professional years in IT. The system test manager produces an excellent plan, that fully simulates the anticipated workload. But it requires X testers, Y test case developers and Z machines. The program manager rejects the plan, "because he is under pressure to reduce costs." The program manager says, "The testing that the developers do should be enough." He then moves on, before the system goes into production.
The result? It always ends in tears.
Schroedinger's Brexit: The UK is both in and out of the EU at the same time!
Guess I won't download anything Suse.
It's possible to revert to the old system. Bliss!
Stop the brainwash
I used to work for a company that made a stock market analysis program, only left last November and my house mate still works there. Quite frankly, the LSE have been shit at this. I'm sure lots of people here know how, even at huge companies, they can still be shit at testing, and informing their customers. They where so unrealistic with dates and what their customers could do, their testing was awful and very basic. I've seen better testing done by a bunch of kids doing GCSE course work. Quite frankly, the fact they've only had these problems surprises me, I expected a lot more
Sometimes I just wish that there was some kind of levy on buying and selling the same stock within a short time frame (say 24 hours), it would probably never hurt long time investors (the ones that are actually important to the companies' whose stock is being traded) and would seldom affect hedge funds and similar accounts.
From my limited knowledge it always seems like this high speed trading is the worst part of stock exchange today. Especially since everything they do echoes in the job market and affect the companies whose stock they buy and sell without any actual interest in the companies. For all they care the high speed traders never even bother knowing the names of companies whose stocks they buy and sell.
I have a hard time believing this was the intent of creating a stock market.
Previously there was a lot of chatter about the platforms (.NET, MSSQL 2003, etc...)
It's one thing to have a 42 seconds glitch in the first day a totally new system is powered up. That's perfectly normal, and had been predicted:
"Observers watching today's Linux-based launch will likely note that such a large change could bring about some teething problems, as with any technology overhaul."
It's a totally different thing to have it stop for a whole day after having been in operation for three months.
So, in conclusion, yes, it's about the platform. .NET, MSSQL 2003, etc aren't robust enough for this kind of job.
Was the consequences of the loss of the automatic trade?
Everybody won? :D
-- sleep(life_the_universe_and_everything);
That being said, Linux is just a better platform to build something like this on. Sure, you can do it with Windows and make it work, but it's just more and unnecessarily difficult.
I keep hearing this, but never see any technical details. Why is this so?
I had extensive Windows programming experience before I switched to Linux about ten years ago and, basically, it boils down to the Unix philosophy.
Linux is a system made by programmers for programmers. Windows is a system made following directions of the marketing department.

Oh, really? That's NOT what London Stock Exchange reps said:
The other day here, while I was replying to other "Pro-*NIX" penguins here, I said this:
Well, it appears I didn't have to wait long... lol, or even wait for a day of EXTREMELY HEAVY TRADING either!
APK
P.S.=> So far, under this Linux system MilleniumIT, the LSE's crashed TWICE ALREADY, and in less than 1 year!
By way of comparison?
The LSE under .NET systems, TradElect & InfoLect, ran fine from 2007 until it froze on the biggest trading volume day they ever had there (see the article above) due to some "takeover"... that's 2 yrs. or more worth of uptime out of it...
However, only THAT level of "stress on the system" collapsed the C#.NET/SQLServer 2000/Windows Server 2003 combination (not what's happening now to LSE under Linux, 2x now, no less).
(I bolded SQLServer 2000, because BETTER versions of it exist in 2005 & 2008, & I suspect IT was the "weakest link" in that mixture actually - but, more & more, it's looking like the IT Team handling things, actually, were I one to guess...) apk
We commented on this situation here: http://www.roqit.co.uk/news/roq-it-comment-on-lse-migration-issues/17/2/2011
Stephen Johnson – Director, at Quality Assurance and Testing specialist ROQ IT, said, “This has the hallmarks of a poorly controlled project lacking in appropriate process and quality gates. Large migration and integration projects are notoriously difficult and must be treated with respect. The only way to deliver these systems is to have clear process and communication and the Quality Assurance team having a respected place at the top table. It’s amazing to think that either these issues weren’t discovered in a year of testing or that the decision was made to go live despite these show stopping issues. This clearly shows the value of having an independent testing team or function that is willing to stand up and stop chaos prevailing”.
That's NOT what London Stock Exchange reps said:
"LSE denied that the collapse was TradElect's fault" - http://blogs.computerworld.com/london_stock_exchange_to_abandon_failed_windows_platform by Stephen J. Vaughn-Nichols
Let's quote from your own link. First of all, the line you put between quotes was entirely out of context, because you omitted the initial "while" and the following lines:
"they also refused to explain what the problem really was. Sources at the LSE tell me to this day that the problem was with TradElect.
Since then, the CEO that brought TradElect to the LSE, Clara Furse, has left without saying why she was leaving. Sources in the City-London's equivalent of New York City's Wall Street--tell me that TradElect's failure was the final straw for her tenure. The new CEO, Xavier Rolet, is reported to have immediately decided to put an end to TradElect."
You also failed to mention that the article's title was "London Stock Exchange to abandon failed Windows platform" and that the author concluded:
"So, might I suggest to the LSE that they consider Linux as the foundation for their next stock software infrastructure? After all, besides working well for Chi-X, Linux seems to be doing quite nicely for the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange), etc., etc."
"Sources at the LSE tell me to this day that the problem was with TradElect." - by mangu (126918) on Thursday February 17, @10:03AM (#35232010)
What 'sources' are those? The "horses' mouth" said otherwise:
(OR, can't you read?)

LMAO - they abandoned a platform that ran SOLID for them for 2 yrs. time... and for what? A Linux one that has crashed 2x now in less than 1 yr.!
(Facts are FACTS, and today's article substantiates my statement above in reply to yours, easily!)
I have noted that Linux does the job elsewhere, just fine, myself -> http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1995760&cid=35212722 , so, you can't pull the "you're not being fair/complete" b.s. on me...
(I just tell it how it is, and I use backing documentation... like the above quote, for example, FROM THE HORSES' MOUTH LSE (not some "sources" who remained unnamed - that's NOT "good enough" for me!))
APK
P.S.=> Still, the fact remains - LINUX WENT "DOWN FOR THE COUNT" IN LESS THAN 1/2 a YEAR ON THE LSE! and, it's NOT THE FIRST TIME EITHER boys, so... "read 'em & weep" + "argue with the facts" I put out, not myself... apk
"Due to a technical problem, that system sent out the daily automatic message to clients - stating that the closing auction was beginning seconds late"
First - See subject-line, drink it in & digest it...
"Remember folks, you heard it here first: APK says Windows is better than Linux." - by Americano (920576) on Thursday February 17, @09:52AM (#35231858)
Secondly - For stability on a stock exchange? It appears that Windows DID do a better job @ LSE, because InfoLect + TradLect did stay "up & running" from 2007 until they replaced it w/ Linux, & this failing system... and they replaced it with WHAT that has crashed a 2nd time now, in LESS THAN 1 yr.'s time?? A LINUX BASED SYSTEM!
---
It's just that I posted facts & backing substantiating documetations that you "penguins" just DO NOT LIKE, and CANNOT HANDLE!
( ESPECIALLY ON THE NOTE OF STABILITY, because MilleniumIT is ALREADY CRASHING IN LESS THAN 1 yrs.' time (whereas InfoLect + TradLect, the MS' system LSE had, stayed up & running for what? 2 yrs., & only the HEAVIEST DAY EVER ON THAT EXCHANGE FLOORED IT, no less... )).
APK
P.S.=> However, on the note of "security" as well? Ok, some more backing proofs:
---
KNOWN Linux 2.6 security vulnerabilities, kernel ALONE, & not counting GUI shells ones too (02/15/2011) = 5% (12 of 247 Secunia advisories)
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/2719/?task=advisories
---
KNOWN Windows 7 security vulnerabilities, IN ITS ENTIRETY Gui shell & all (02/15/2011) = 11% (6 of 57 Secunia advisories)
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/2719/?task=advisories
---
Let's see:
---
1.) That's TWICE as many bugs still present in Linux' kernel ALONE, vs. Windows 7 in its entirety...
AND
2.) There were also by way of comparison, what? 2-3x++ as many bugs in Windows 7 patched as there were in Linux kernel 2.6 (which is a LOT older than Windows 7)??

NEED MORE? OK:

These additional backing documentations of Linux' security issues? They're ALL VERY RECENT, mind you... & quite indicative of what's coming & yes, even currently HAPPENING on Linux, as far as its security!
So... read 'em, & weep boys, though you may not LIKE IT? It's "how it is"...
(& those backing documentations/evidences above? Heh - only the beginnings of what I saw happen to MacOS X once it got more "market share"! I.E. - it got hacked/cracked more, & exposed more for security weaknesses (lol, after the MacOS X commercials on TV implied "Mac is more secure than a PC"... b.s.!)... apk
"Cool story, Bro." - by Americano (920576) on Thursday February 17, @11:27AM (#35233160)
See subject-line, you off-topic troll - & there's NO DENYING all you have is your puny little "meme" in response to facts I posted? Please...
APK
P.S.=> There you have it readers: When the "penguins of /." (pack of clucking hens is more like it, lol) can't dispute facts, such as the fact THIS IS THE 2nd TIME NOW THAT LSE HAS GONE DOWN UNDER LINUX BASED SYSTEMS IN LESS THAN 1 YR. (far less in fact, vs Windows & how long it lasted @ LSE since 2007 until it crashed on the HEAVIEST TRADING DAY THEY EVER SAW no less only (&with older DB engines too than what is current, for SQLServer too))... what do they do?
See Americano's reply quoted above - Well, as you can see/read? They just go off topic, like it can "save face" for them, or something... lol, & in doing so, they look even MORE foolish: Not that they mind, I do this to that type here, ALL the time (& I have yet to be proven wrong, for 8++ yrs. around here now - why? I use facts!)... apk
well there we have an answer to a popular question
"Are you directly or indirectly hired by Microsoft? Just wondering since you're so desperate to do damage control on this." - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday February 17, @11:30AM (#35233186)
First - would it MATTER if I were an MS employee?
Secondly - It appears LINUX NEEDS "DAMAGE CONTROL" over @ LSE, because the Microsoft InfoLect/TradLect systems worked for 2 yrs. time (not just a few months, or days in this case, rotflmao!)
---
"Are you also the previous Microsoft appolgist that trolled previous articles on the Linux switch?" - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday February 17, @11:30AM (#35233186)
Trolled? No, I used facts as I always do, & I posted Linux's successes actually (AND Microsoft's too @ NASDAQ) on various stock exchanges here, in fact:
http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1995760&cid=35212722
So, again - You, & others LIKE YOU, can't pull the "you're not being fair/complete" b.s. on me... I am fair. I post facts with backing proofs/documentations, nearly everytime I post here in fact!
APK
P.S.=> Are you guys SO "desperate" that you have to try to 'attack me', ala the patented "/. troll adhominem attack style" when beaten by facts? Seems so... & it would NOT matter were I am MS employee anyhow: It's LINUX systems over @ LSE with the "crash" problem!... they're the ones that need "spin control" here, lol, NOT MS! apk
High speed trading is just the froth on top of the market -- a million little bubbles.
Granted, it increases costs overall for everybody in the market, but those costs should be spread evenly. This shouldn't greatly adversely impact long term investors.
But it does still amount to an privileged class siphoning value out of the system. That's bad.
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
"Not to mention the very links you posted state the opposite of everything you said." - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday February 17, @12:14PM (#35233738)
Specifics please: One of you "spin-CON-TROLL" trolls, lol, already tried to say what I posted is false, but he had NO valid source!
By way of comparison, however? LOL - I did have an absolutely valid & validated source - the reps from LSE no less, who did NOT blame MS-based InfoLect + TradeLect...
To me, as I said in my init. post here?
It's looking like the IS/IT/MIS team there is in trouble, & to blame... 2 crashed systems so far, one MS based, the other Linux based, were I one to make guesses...
(So, what links are those you speak of? Please - DO "try me" on any of them: I will just make you "eat your words", easily... "too, Too, TOO EASILY", in fact, as I do everytime, with trolls like you!)

"Not a good day when your own only evidence calls you a liar.." - by Anonymous Coward on Thursday February 17, @12:14PM (#35233738)
Again: What SPECIFIC evidence is this? What link or fact I posted??
Fact is, & there is NO DENYING IT?
Ms-Based InfoLect &/or TradLect did better @ LSE, because they lasted longer, from 2007 until they were replaced recently, & with what? Linux... "crashing Linux", 2 days onto the job no less... lol, little denying it, and it's the 2nd TIME IT HAPPENED TOO, no less...

Thank you, but... hey:
As you can see - it's not ME "dancing" here, lmao, trying to do adhominem attack "spin-CON-troll" tactics here... it's the "Pro-*NIX Penguin consortium" of trolls around here!
After all folks:
THERE IS NO DENYING THAT LINUX FELL FLAT ON ITS FACE, 2nd DAY INTO THE JOB HERE @ LSE!
(That also wasn't this Linux systems' 1st time to do that, mind you, EITHER/no less! (And, that Microsoft's TradLect + InfoLect system lasted longer... since 2007, up until this BOTCHED replacement with Linux!))
---
Lastly, QUOTED FROM THE HORSES' MOUTH @ The London Stock Exchange's OWN REPS:
I wonder if they will say the same on this new LINUX system - that fell "flat on its face", 2nd day into the job, and that it was NOT the 1st time MillieniumIT, the Linux system, f'd up either!
APK
P.S.=> Or, are facts, NOT FACTS? Apparently NOT, in Linux "bizarro-world", lmao... however, in FAIRNESS? Like I said, in my INITIAL post here?? It's looking more & MORE like it's the IT teams @ LSE... since BOTH an MS and Linux based system have failed there for different reasons apparently, but failure is the result... that? That falls on the IT team, imo @ least, the MOST... apk

It's called telling the TRUTH, & w/ concrete + verifiable current sources, vs. your "tricks" of going off topic & using adhominem trolling attacks, vs. facts, documented/concrete & verifiable facts I used quotes & links to their sources for?

P.S.=> I mean, please... after all, from here

on downwards here today, in this very exchange, by way of comparison?
LMAO: I have gotten nothing but ad hominem attacks directed MY way, and inability of the "penguins" around here to prove ME WRONG, & with equally valid + verifiable sources like I used!
BOTTOM-LINE: Linux isn't working out "too tell" over @ LSE now, is it boys?? Read this article, if you think it is... lol! Ah yes, I gotta say it, as per usual, vs. the Penguins & their "now ruffled feathers":
"too, Too, TOO EASY" - just '2EZ'... everytime!... apk
http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1999478&cid=35232890 and after that thrashing he gave you, perhaps you ought to be angry, but only at yourself. Your usage of all CAPS seems to indicate your anger, after all.

So, THAT said?
Well, taking myself, vs. weaklings like YOU, specifically in this exchange, for example, that go "off topic" at the drop of a single fact they cannot disprove, & instead go "off topic" & use adhominem attacks on MYSELF, rather than the data I cited?
Guess I'm not as *amazing* as YOU feel I am, because I certainly don't feel that way about myself!
LMAO - Especially taking on "spin-CON-troll" trollers like yourself, who are EASILY ROUTED with concrete veriable solid facts (which is what I used, & you HAD to go "off topic" & try "adhominem attacks" on ME, instead of taking on facts with sources & quotes I used)... apk

LMAO - Additionally:
Your Penguin "spin-CON-troll", here?? Not working very well is it???
Nope!
(Heh, it works alright... to make you look the FOOL, & just about as well as Linux did @ the London Stock Exchange, lol... which, per this article???? Is NOT THAT WELL!)
APK
P.S.=> Americano, as a consolation prize? You've made my bookmarks/favs here, yet again, for yet another time you've trolled me & been blown away, by concrete verifiable facts... which ALWAYS force the "penguins" around here into what you've used here vs. myself, thusfar:
---
1.) Name calling/adhominem attacks
2.) Avoiding facts & disproving those others used
3.) Attempts @ "English Writing style" critiques (on a forums with no such section on it, no less, lol!)
---
So, especially on this LAST point, which notes the "last resort of the defeated /. troll" (lol, everytime)?
I use my "std. reply to the 'wannabe English Prof.'s' here:
When you can show us your PHD in English, & years to decades of teaching it to YOUR credit, Americano??
Then, you MIGHT be able to talk...
(However: Is this the English writing style forums section here????? Not afaik! Is there such a forums section here?????? ANSWER = No - which simply serves as proof of your "off topic" b.s., & the mark of the "BLOWN AWAY TROLL", everytime!)

http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1999478&cid=35234438 looks like an adhominem attack to me, with you obviously calling APK a "1 trick pony". Funny how from here on down from you Americano, all we have is off topic trollery (or, "spin-CON-troll" as apk called it and I found it utterly applicable, and especially to you, see as all you have done is go off topic and avoiding disproving facts he put up).
tl;dr , for off topic trolling here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1999478&cid=35236316 and everywhere else he posted in this debate after that. Thank you.
tl;dr and a bit of education from someone that has actually taken and passed with a decent grade a formally academically collegiate environs in LOGIC, as I have (& I took actual LOGIC (In digital, discrete math, and logic itself for CSC degree here))!
What I took was NOT "forums logic" (as you seem to use) either:
Better still, I will use actual data as I usually do to prove my point/case:

New news: Calling anyone names is an adhominem attack. You are "attacking the man" (adhominem means "to the man"), and attacking THEM instead of the points or data they used and brought up.
Ask any logician this, and, they will tell you the same.
You are and have been repeatedly off topic as well. tl;dr Americano, the obvious troll who is now spouting outright bullshit on top of his adhominem attack based trolling here. Until you attack my POINTS, instead of ME?? Read the definition above...

P.S.=> As per my usual? Well, gotta say it: "too, Too, TOO EASY", man... just '2EZ'... lol! apk
From your own link:
"An ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), also known as argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise."
In other words: If I were trying to dismiss your concerns by calling you a one trick pony, that would be an ad hominem argument.
Since I have simply observed that all you do is flog the same points with poor grammar and rambling and incoherent walls of text, that is not an ad hominem argument. It is simply observing the fact that that is all you do, and it doesn't matter whether your points are relevant or not, because you do such a horrible job of FORMULATING them that nobody can even tell what your point is. You're just cluttering up Slashdot with pointless self-promotion.
Name calling is, technically speaking, name calling: It is not a logical fallacy to call you a self-aggrandizing ass, it is simply an observation of your behavior, followed by me stating my opinion of it.

I disagree. First of all, this was not a discussion of logic as the topic. Was it? No.
That makes you off topic, for starters.
Now, you did you call apk names and in an attempt to belittle him? Absolutely. You did not attack his points, but rather, you tried to attack he instead.
Because of that last part, yes, You are guilty of ad hominem attacks the second you called him a name. You did not attack his points he used, you attacked him instead. You are guilty of ad hominem attacks on him.
Don't worry, I'm on the case by Americano (920576) on Thursday February 17, @12:46PM (#35234264)
You are fired.
1.) You tried and failed your standard trolling trick of saying he can't write here:
http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1999478&cid=35235778
****
2.) Yet you reply to each of his posts as if you understand them as clearly as if you had written them yourself.
(This clearly indicates you understood him and that his writing is fine since you did).
****
3.) You also do not have a PHD in English to your credit, and thus you are not an expert to be cited on how to write properly yourself. Lastly on that note, there is no such forums here or topic on "english grammar or style" criticism.
****
4.) You later called the ac apk names here and that is indeed an ad hominem attack from you.
(Mainly because you attacked the man instead of his data and points)
You did a crap job of trolling him. You're fired for bad job performance Americano.
" I'm not arguing with any of your points" - by Americano (920576) on Thursday February 17, @05:17PM (#35237856)
Proving you are, once again, guilty of ad hominem ("to-the-man") attacks on myself, rather than the points & data I put out here for all to verify, which ADDITIONALLY also makes you blatantly OFF TOPIC as well...

No, but your ALL CAPS replies? They have "capsized" you, lol... after all, all caps = angry, right?
In any event:
It has been, as usual, a real PLEASURE blowing you away, troll... it is, also as per usual? Just "too, Too, TOO EASY"... man, just '2EZ'!
APK
P.S.=> In any event? Well - I have a "phunny pheeling" that LSE is going to try to NOT blame it on the Linux setup, just like they didn't on the MS one (which that latter setup, MS stuff, lasted ONE HELL OF A LOT LONGER & MORE STABLE, lol, especially 1st week out crashing as Linux has here, than Linux has)...
To do so, to blame it on the Linux setup? Man - that'd put their "IT Team" on the line, & politics being what they are in business?? Well... you know!
So, again: I really wouldn't (as an aside here, which I alluded to earlier this week when this went into production here -> http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1995760&cid=35231420 ) put this past being a POSSIBLE HARDWARE ISSUE AS WELL! Keep THAT in mind also, fellas... as it too, is a "possible" here.
(So - Now, wouldn't THAT be something people? To find out we've been "busting one anothers' balls" here, over Operating Systems, when it very WELL may be some hardware issue instead!)... apk
APK, I'll explain this to you one last time in small words with few syllables: for me to be conducting an "ad hominem" attack, I'd have to be saying something negative about you, *and then* suggesting that that negative trait is why your points are wrong and invalid. Name-calling and getting you all lathered with frustration like this is what we call "just a bit of fun," and has no bearing on whether or not your points are true, false, or completely disconnected from all reality.
You're the one who went off topic with your diatribe about SQL Server versions and "windows being better."
Fail harder though, seriously.
Since you did not attack his points, and he instead, you are indeed guilty of an ad hominem attack. Your being constantly off topic also qualifies your posts as off topic trolling, short and sweet.

ANYONE can play the "off topic trolling ad hominem attack" game, as you have here the entire time... but, lol, it seems that you took your name from being "SMOKED", lol, so much, that you couldn't resist a "Shameless Plug" from me, for your company there in the URL above... lmao! apk

P.S.=> That's things here, boys, in a nutshell... & no amount of "spin-CON-troll" & ad hominem attacks (such as you are about here rather than disputing my data & points, but rather, attacking myself) are going to change THAT... are they?
Nope: LSE has a "Linux Lemon" on their hands, or, is the article here just b.s.? I know not...
Ah, I have JUST gotta say it, as-per-my-usual, vs. defeated off topic & adhominem attacking trolls like you: It was just "too, Too, TOO EASY" blowing you away... just '2EZ'! apk
He disagrees with you; therefore he must destroy you. by UnknowingFool (672806) on Thursday February 17, @07:14PM (#35239278)
You mean like how he just destroyed YOU here http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1999478&cid=35239554 perhaps? He asked a question there of you, and since you did not answer, he did. His answer is accurate since the system went online with Linux on the 15th apparently, and died today, the 17th. That's not even a full 2 days and the "absolutely solid and secure Linux" went down, like a glass jawed chump. Sort of like how the rest of you have when faced with data he put up that is apparently, quite unassailable/quite invulnerable. Facts are like that. Documented facts most especially. Try it sometime. You may not get smoked as badly as yourself and Americano above did.

Trying to "get revenge", with a weak ad hominem attack???

LASTLY - If you're going to attempt to UNDERSTAND me (much less DESCRIBE me, UnknowingFool)? I suggest you take a peek at the show "TOP GEAR" Season #15, espisode #5 (which has my fellow Syracusan, Tom Cruise, placing #1 AT TOP GEAR (followed by his pal, & companion, another USA product Cameron Diaz))... & pay special attention to Jeremy Clarkson @ the end, regarding the GREAT Ayrton Senna Da Silva, one of my heroes in this life... because I look at this, or anything in life, just like he did on racing & being a racing driver! apk

"1) Learn what constitutes an ad hominem argument. The definition is very clear, and you haven't been subjected to one." - by Americano (920576) on Thursday February 17, @09:24PM (#35240248)
Funny, but when I posted the DEFINITION of ad hominem attack earlier, you fit it, to a TEE! The definition of AD HOMIMEN is in my ps below:
---
1.) You didn't attack my points, but rather attacked myself (this is "to the man" & that IS the definition of ad hominem)
2.) You stayed OFF TOPIC the entire time here (though this doesn't make you an ad hominem attacker, STRICTLY, it doesn't "bolster your case" either... & it CERTAINLY SHOWS YOU ARE AN OFF-TOPIC troll).
---
So, don't even TRY "forums logic" on me, as I have actually taken & DONE WELL at a logic course formally administered in collegiate environs during my CSC degree work... have you taken & done the same? Apparently not. I asked you that earlier & before here too, no answer from you, as per usual.

"2) Attacking you? Hardly. I've simply called you some names and poked fun." - by Americano (920576) on Thursday February 17, @09:24PM (#35240248)

Answer that.
APK
P.S.=> The definition of AD HOMINEM (for those NOT versed in logic):
---
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
"An ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), also known as argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise.[1] The ad hominem is a classic logical fallacy,[2] but it is not always fallacious; in some instances, questions of personal conduct, character, motives, etc., are legitimate and relevant to the issue"
---
Sound a "wee bit" like big talker AMERICANO above? His unwillingness to attack the data & points I made on it here, and instead, attempting to attack myself, with threats as seen above, instead?? Please... lol! apk
Testing can only prove the presence of bugs, not the absence.
It doesn't matter if you have 10,000 test cases or 10,000 times as many. Best case is you catch the bugs you were able to anticipate. And if you think you will be able to simulate real-life loads and traffic patterns of your first year in production, well, good luck with that.
If you are relying on testing to deliver "bug free" systems, you've already lost half the battle.
Do yourself a favor and dump most of your "test case" staff and hire yourself some real engineers. You'll find you didn't need those folks and have higher quality systems.
Performance must be inherent in every aspect of the system. It is not an afterthought, but always thought. - me

"Next, perhaps you can work on understanding what all those big words mean." - by Americano (920576) on Thursday February 17, @10:49PM (#35240678)
Oh, the definition of AD HOMINEM fits you, perfectly, as You have NOT been "on topic" here once, because you have been attacking ME, rather than the points I put up here (which IS an ad hominem attack on your part, directed MY WAY, stupid)...
I did so, for everyone to verify, and yes, disprove IF POSSIBLE, because IF/WHEN I am wrong? I'll admit it.

APK
P.S.=> LOL, you? You couldn't attack me online (or otherwise), much less do me damage... but, you're welcome to try - so, go on, answer that question pussy... apk
If so, I'd like some proof as to when and where you did so. I doubt you even have gone to college actually, and certainly that you have not taken and passed a logic course. You can try your "forum logic", but it is not the same. Have you ever done a logical proof? I state all that just because you don't seem to understand that "attacking the man" is not the same as attacking points he makes. In your doing your constantly off topic ad hominem attacks of others here you clearly give away the fact that you have not taken logic just because you don't even realize you've made ad hominem logical fallacies in doing so and that is invalid in logical debate. My best guess here is that Americano is just trying to waste others' time here and he doesn't care because he can hide behind his pseudonym here, which is typical of most little trolls because their whole lives they've been pushed around but online they think they're invulnerable.
All you've done through this entire exchange is your blatantly off topic ad hominem attack of apk rather than the data he put up for us all to verify and if possible, dispute. You attacked the man, rather than his points, and yes Americano, just like others here have told you, that is an ad hominem attack. However, you just blow that off, because it makes you look quite stupid, since we all know that by attacking the man rather than his points you are indeed attempting to perform the ad hominem logical fallacy in argument. Just judging from your rather stupid off topic replies here from this url onward http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1999478&cid=35232890 it is very clear that you cannot dispute or disprove his data, so you resort to what trolls do, and that is attack the man or try to. You have not been successful at it in my estimate. Grow up Americano and I'd cut making threats to others. It can get a flea like you hurt.
If I were attacking you, you'd know it. And not even your precious hosts file would help you! by Americano THE DOUCHEBAG (920576) on Thursday February 17, @10:49PM (#35240678)
Quit making your threats and attack him. You don't even know his ip address online. Without that, how are you going to manage attacking his computer? As far as I know, you cannot do that without that ip address, and then you have to get thru any defenses the person has. The funny part is that if he knew you were doing it he could stop it easily by simply disallowing any inputs from whatever port it is you'd use and he'd do that by ip address, by entering that IP address data of yours into his hardware or software firewalls, and then he could simply report you to your isp for getting you in trouble and law enforcement also. That's assuming you didn't use a proxy (and that's easy enough to stop also the same way, by disallowing "talk" from that ip address). The point is you are making the threat of doing it and if by some chance someone does attack him, you will get blamed, and if you think the people at slashdot don't respond to court orders for information, you are sadly mistaken. You'd be in trouble. Still, we know You're just a lot of off topic ad hominem attack crap and threats. Until you actually do this threatened attack of yours on him, and successfully, you are nothing but a talk a lot off topic douchebag.

And, it's not an ad hominem attack after all, if what I say is true, and you?
You're a mac fag, with no college degree, let alone logic.
Go away now, ne'er-do-well.
Ask Americano the mac fag to produce proof of a college degree, for example. Americano doesn't have one, but he sure tries to "play smart" here on slashdot, like the typical "ne'er-do-well" he is. For pete's sake, Americano even uses a Mac. He's also just another "Mac Fag", lol.

Seeing as how all you Mac Fags like you have AIDS, why don't you just do us a favor and die? You can quit trying to play "smart" here too. We know you can't produce proof of even an AAS to your name as far as collegiate degrees, so we know you not only do not know anything, but you're a poor penniless loser too because of it, you ne'er-do-well.
Prognosis is a term to describe a prediction of the "likely outcome of an illness." Diagnosis is a determination of what your illness is.

If a college degree is what gives you your mangled interpretations of "ad hominem," "prognosis," and other standard terms, I'm glad I'm not a graduate of whatever backwater troll factory you call your alma mater.
I do, in fact, have a college degree. You're wrong on all counts, but you are providing a remarkable demonstration of ad hominem attacks on me, and also, an effective case study in pissing into the wind. I'll let you know when I write you up in JAMA, the specifics of your case are fascinating.

Of course you are: You don't have them and you never did. We'd like to see proof of your CSC or CIS degree since you like being a MAC FAG so much too!

I love it: You opened your big mouth, only to insert your own foot (because I could say I am Barack Obama, the same as you said you went to college). We already KNOW you haven't taken logic, so you have been talking out your piehole here, the WHOLE time... that makes sense, why actual LOGIC wouldn't get thru to you (you have no clue in it, lol)... apk

See here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1999478&cid=35254360
Once I caught Americano LYING about his allegedly having a "double major", WITH A QUOTE OF HIM SAYING IT NO LESS (biotech & CSC "double major")?
WELL... Turns out Americano only has a MINOR in CSC, & that's FAR from a CSC degree OR "double major" (I know, I have a minor in MIS from my 1st degree)!
(Which explained WHY he cannot show he took logic when I asked him about it (because his ad hominem attacks on myself in this thread brought up logic, which he did NOT take)... & why he "steered clear" of actual technical things I put up here as evidence).
APK
P.S.=> I just used facts, & it got some of you Penguins so "frustrated" you had to "troll me"... too bad that NEVER works vs. facts I used, & have used in the past vs. you trolls, eh? Witness Americano running, as an example thereof... apk

UnknowingFool said that, & I replied to another user on LATENCY ISSUES LSE was seeing, & what offsets that?
http://linux.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1995760&cid=35217626
(That was the day LSE finished putting up the MilleniumIT Linux based system... & in this exchange, 2 days later? LSE FELL ON ITS FACE ON LINUX!)
SSD/Ramdisks do reduce latency (especially non FLASH based ones, if WRITES matter especially), & it's a POSSIBLE for that... see above!
I know this from work I did as far back as 1996:

Which has ONLY THE PAST COUPLE YEARS become more "mainstream"...
(Your proof is above, & you can write Mr. Eric Dickman of SuperSpeed.com on it if you wish (he is their CEO, good guy - fun to work with actually even)).

P.S.=> BOTTOM-LINE: UnknowingFool, just like a LOT of other "Linux Penguins" just couldn't STAND THE FACT THAT LSE FELL FLAT ON ITS FACE, 2nd DAY INTO THE JOB ON LINUX, period... apk
