Yes use the -vv option of lspci it will give IRQ's for all PCI devices. Also cat/proc/interrupts, as this will tell what is on what IRQ. EG:
0: 280187814 263632587 IO-APIC-edge timer
0 is the irq of the timer in this case and it is adual cpu system. ide usually sits on 14 and 15, etc.
/proc/dma tells of what dma are in use./proc/cpuinfo tells whole bunches of cpu info, like processor, speed, vendor, extensions, stepping, etc..
look at/proc. the/proc/irq diretory has hte irqs as well, then there is/proc/scsi if you have scsi and there are files that tell vendor make and model of scsi devices.. there is whole lots of info here.
dmesg has this kind of output. Also on a LInux distro you can look at the/proc filesystem./proc/pci tells all sorts of info about the PCI bus and what is attached. It tells the Bus, device, function, USB stuff, Ethernet stuff, etc. All devices on pci. Alternatively you could use lspci as well. Below is the output of lspci:
if you are buying intel hardware memtest86 is probably the best thing to start with. (http://www.memtest86.com/)
This will check the compuiter memory but may take a while.
Also you could LInux on a floppy or NetBSD/FreeBSD/Linux on a cdrom and see how it detects the hardware, by looking at the outputs of dmesg, and a few other things like that.
.. uh is dead I thought.. I'd imagine it would be hard for him to say anything today...
On another note there has been a discussion on space.com about life on other planets and the scientists think that we are likely to find bacterial life on mars or on one of Jupiters moons. So this is just the theory that life in some form may exist on another planet.
The real question is not if life exists, but has life evolved elsewhere?
Here is something that will convert: function tounicode(instr) { len = instr.length; switch (len) { case 1: return instr.charCodeAt(0); case 2: return new String(instr.charCodeAt(1)) + new String(instr.charCodeAt(0)); case 3: return instr.charCodeAt(2) + instr.charCodeAt(1) + instr.charCodeAt(0); case 4: return instr.charCodeAt(3) + instr.charCodeAt(2) + instr.charCodeAt(1) + instr.charCodeAt(0); } return ""; }
We use a 3rd party software package. It has no documentation. It takes in legacy basic code and spits out horribly ugly C code. I have 2 bugs that I have yet to fix cause of their software. I know it is their stuff but cannot figure out where and their solution is to upgrade their software which I don't have time to test and debug. It is NOT open source so it is blackbox debugging. I can say for sure it is there stuff cause the code is transpiled through their stuff and works on our other two platforms.

Well it depends on the size of the asteroid. In this case possibly yes.
The reason that this is studied is so that we can find out what are these asteroids made of and is it or would it be possibly to deflect them or break them up. If the asteroid is all ice then breaking it up could result in smaller peices that could do less (or possibly more) damage. This is stuff we need to know.
It is possibly that one asteroid could impact earth and if it hit in the ocean and we could predict where and how big of tidle waves there would be it may be possible to evactuate people and save lives.
If we knew for sure that the asteroid was going to hit and when we could prepare for it so that the entire human race was not destroyed. Come on didn't you see "Deep Impact" the movie???
.. they will probably get 'owned' by some cracker in another part of the world where they have no jurisdiction.
Things like the DCMS, RIAA, MPAA, all piss of the cracker community and the hacker community. (Hmm notice they are all 4 letter words.. guess they must be bad words ).
To me the DCMA says if you buy this then you don't really own it. I own my redhat cdrom. I can make copies of it and modify it. I can't legally do that in the US according to the above mentioned 4 letter words. That's why I use open source case MS and all the other MS vendors do that crap too.
How to bring other less experienced coders up to your level and beyond?
Sometimes no matter what you do you can't bring others up to your level. There are just some bad coders out there and until they get more and more experience they wont get better. You can try teaching them about do's and don'ts, but you can't make them do and don't.
If the coders are good then often I have had to resort to pressuring them saying things like I am waiting on 'so and so's code' at a staff meeting. Basically getting manegement to step in. Sometimes you have to do that. Yes it sucks, but that is the job of a manager. In this econemy it does not pay not to work as there are plenty of people that they can be replaced by and I know of some people who would love that chance to out shine you (me;-)).
Rather funny wsn't AOL advertising on their networks back in 95? Wouldn't it be 'obvious to someone skilled in the art' to add adds to on line newspapers since they have adds on their paper print?
I hope they do go after all these on line advertisers. Then we could get ride of al these stupid adds on line;-).
I think that doubleclick as well as many others were doing this long before this patent was filed, and IMHO it is very vague.
"inputting configuration parameters".. uh this is done so that you can set your banner size to 480x60 and the other sizes.. hmm what I wonder what the the IAB (http://www.iab.net/) think of this.
I use textpad, or tknotepad, depending on what you want to do. Textpad is at http://textpad.com/. It has an ascii table, can edit multiple files with tabs, copy, paste, etc, also with indenting, syntax highlightening, macros, diff, and lots more. I use it mainly for the syntax highlightening. It is not 'free', but you can download it and it just give you an annoying message when it starts and sometimes when you save. I like it a lot.
TkNotePad is something I wrote and it is just a basic text editor like notpad, but it has unlimited undo / redo and a better find / replace.
This is really a few years old. I heard about this on dateline in 96 I think it was. These boxes were also used by some car rental companies. These rental companies then tried to give the speeders tickets and this was thrown out in court. i.e. no where in the rental agreement did these people agree to recieve a ticket if the little black box said they were speeding.
I installed NetBSD on a machine that has windows and it recgonized the windows partition and allows me to boot of that partition.
I also have netbsd installed on what used to be the windows d drive so I'm sure it is possible to boot from the non-first hd.
lastly you'd be best off visting the netbsd.org web site and seeing if there is support for the hard drive you mention. I'd suspect it would work, unless there is something really weird about the drive.
just say not that is not what my idea is.. I have a program that people wanted to add this and that to and if I liked the idea I added it and made sure it did not break functionality..
Use the GPL or bsd license so that they can do what they want to the code and you can do what you want with your tree... if you like it use it...
The question I have is are you writing this for you or for others? if it is for you then screw everyone else and make it the way you like, if you want others peoples input then you will just have to figure out what features you want... sourceforge has a good way of allowing people to put feature requests and bug reports and things like that in so that would be where I'd host a project that I expected feedback on....
my feeling is if it is a one man project then make it what YOU want and if someone requests a feature that is not hard to implement or you like then add it is not then don't.. it seems pretty simple to me...
I had ssaid that a few days ago.... -> http://bsd.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=36307&cid= 3913089
One more thing to note is that the web site stil has not bee updated and some of these binaries are about a month old... guess I'll upgrade tomorrow afternoon... something to do at work;-)
"These failures are unacceptable to me, but most people just go about their lives believing what they're told and in denial."
To true. I'd also agree that both parties cook elections. I however doubt that MIT could have come up with a totally fool proof / auditable election system that is not flawed. I ahve meet MIT students and unfortunately they think about only can it be done and not should it be done and then after it is done they never think about the business ramifications of doing it. Think about this. If you were able to go into an electin booth and know who was winning you could change your vote so that you voted for the winner, just to say that you voted for the winning president. Or you could vote for the lookse just so that you could say I did not vote for him. This is flawed in itself.
The real problem in the election system is that the people that are in charge of the voting systems are people and thus suseptable to corruption.

I really think that we are in trouble in our future when we have elections that are getting fixed ot 'broken'.. when corporations are allowed to give away personal data (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/07/18/12452 02&mode=thread&tid=158).. big companise can do what they want to the little guy.. hmm sounds like a bad science fiction movie.. it is even more interesting that a man can get only 4 years for leaving his child in a car and the kid dies from teh heat and a lady lets her dogs kill another woman and only gets 4 years in prison, but people think that it is okay for a hacker to get life.. hmm.. fucked up world this is becoming..
.. before it runs *nix? I'm sure it could, it has a Crusoe processor, vga screen (generic vga should drive it if not fbdev. Probably pretty standard... now the question is what is the cost?

To compete with subnotebooks it needs a slightly larger screen and / or keyboard IMHO.
I already know people that do things like that. They are school teacher or web masters. They are not really "IN THE INDUSTRY" they are more like hobbists.
I also know people who went to art schools and that is the obivous part. School is important to get into just about any professional job, and in some cases what school you went to can help you get a job. The question is actually referring to after school. I have a friend who has a masters from an art school in NY (not sure which) and he has done some work that was exhibited in the National Museam of Art in DC (computer generated interactive world). So he already has the school and he already has some experience. The quesition is more of what programs / programming languages should they know to work at places like pixar, industrial light and magic, and hamermerhead productions? Or does it help more of who they know to get in? Once you have the background what can make you actually stand out and shine above someone else and get hired for money???
Not all lawsuits are for money. SB could press charges against them for hacking or soemthing and then I think it would be more of how much time would SB try to put them in jail for. Look at Demetri S. (I can't spell his name). Isn't he still in jail for just presenting a solution?
I could see them getting fired at least. One must wonder what their corporate policy is on this or if they even have one.
Also something that they should think about is that hacking this system could get them all fired and possibly involved in a law suit. Corporate Starbucks may not like the fact that some people are playing their own music in these establishments as well as hacking their (SB) "custom made" hardware. If they (SB) have limited license for these songs and you bring in unlicensed music you could get them (SB) into trouble. Who do you think Starbucks would go after if the MPAA/RIAA or some other AA (anonymous a******) went after SB? YOU!
Aside from that there may be some subliminal messages that would get missed in.. you know that '3rd' track that says drink more coffee from Starbucks. (LOL)
Seriously it is probably a cd that has some hidden tracks on the cdrom. It may be possible to use a normal cdrom in their system, but the question then would become what is on the hidden tracks. If the cdrom player recognizes the cdrom and says that it is expired, it probably has a hidden track that has some kind of expiration date or number code. It could be something as simple as using the unix timestamp in seconds on a hidden track that tells the expiration of a cdrom in seconds since the epoch.
Personally, before hacking at this thing, I'd go to corporate or your manager or superiors, and ask them if you could get a different selection of music. It is after all only 'background music' and not worth potentially loosing your job over (IMHO).
What is the best way to get into the computer generated special effects industry? Is it who you know or what you know? If it is what you know what should one know? (Programming, graphics tools, etc...).
Well some people do actually like the taste of coffee and they drink it not for the cafene, but the taste. Just like some people like beer for the taste and not the effect.
Also you'd be able to drink a cup of coffee before going to bed which many cannot do and still get to sleep.
Lastly there are some people who have acid reflux and should not have caffene, but this would give them caffene free coffee... oh and decafe coffee does have some caffene, it is just much less than regular coffee....
