  1. Re:Satellites should be free on Russian Student Arrested For Revealing DirecTV Secrets · · Score: 1


    You think we are the only people in the world with rocket and satellite technology? Have you ever heard of the Russians?

    The "Defense" industry is made up of private and public companies working for the goverment.

    Again, DirecTV paid a lot of money to develope and put their satellites in to space, its THEIR satellite and their broadcast.

    I'm sorry, but did you pay to send that satellite in to space? Did you pay for its technology or sustain any personal loss because someone else put it there? Do you donate to programs that are trying to compete by putting their own satellite in to space for public domain?

    Money makes the world go round. (and satellites)

  7. fork'd childs use to much mem..... on Building a Better Webserver · · Score: 3, Interesting

    quote:
    This means an Apache web server using keepalives will need to have more child processes running than connections. Depending upon the configuration and the amount of traffic, this can result in a process pool that is significantly larger than the total number of concurrent connections. In fact, many large sites even go so far as to disable keepalives on Apache simply because all the blocked processes consume too much memory.

    ::end quote::

    lets see, anyone here hear of COW (copy on write) Linux uses this idea to save time on fork'd child processes, they get the ::same:: address space, and only get new memory when they try to touch a page that is write only (ie they can run and run and run, but once they try to access their memory they get new memory space with the contents copied). It saves time and memory.

    The only setback is when a process fork's a child, its current time slice is cut in half with half given to the child, so the main proc will run aground if to many requests come in and the server has more processes to worry about. :(

  8. Re:Ext3 not safe against power-down on ext3fs in Linus' Kernel Tree · · Score: 1

    That ram you talk about, its very small and is only used for caching (writing or reading) to/from the disk. The disk doesn't just hold it there with its balls swinging in the air for fun, its going to write it. If what you said was true, even if I told my machine to turn off it would loose what ever the last (4m cache for me) data was. The big difference between IDE and SCSI is that IDE holds onto the channel when it is issued a command, meaning everything is syncronous, but SCSI relasing control of the channel so that other operations on other devices can be done while it is doing its thing, then it responds back with a ret val for what ever happened. That's the logical side of it (ie SCSI has a bigger channel than ide, hardware, etc).

    'Which is why I put hacking in quotation marks and said that I was using the word for lack of a better term.' Simple, don't abuse the term to describe something else. If you go around using the term because you lack better vocabulary then you're just screwing it up for the rest of us. 'I'm talking about damaging equipment and compromising the security of the network that it's my job to protect.' Then protect it. when I said you should have 'fixed it already' thats what I ment, patch what you can. ::IF:: there is sensitive data on a network, they you should have it locked down tighter than a virgin's chastity belt, other than that I dont see any real 'damage' to the machines that a good ol image won't fix, (+/- patches to fix what ever was left open the first time). If its your job, then do it, but dont destroy a kids life because you were owned. Vincere vel mori

    I have a problem with you "technology assistants" in the schools, what you precieve to be 'hacking' is something totaly different. In high school I was told that my technology class was going to be hardware/programing/etc, but it was nothing more than typing,spreadsheets, and databases, all of which I could finish many times faster than anyone else in the class, so what to do with all my free time? I played solitare! (this was '95 ish, win 3.11) Oh, but since I using the computer a different way than what you drones prescribed, I was 'hacking'.
    To make a long story short, they threatened to have me arrested, etc, but since I hadn't done anything that wasn't damaging we almost sued the hell out of them ( and later I was always called upon by the teachers to fix their computers when things went haywire ).

    Any legislation that prevents a kid from learning more is fubar, to hell with your survival,you should have had the machine 'fixed' in the first place.
