the 9999 issue is more to do with having high and low watermarks in programs useually COBOL,
where you set the minimum value to high watermark [9999]
and max value to low watermark as you process all the data you check if the current value is larger than max then you set max to the current value and if the current value is smaller than minimum you set minimum to current value
when you are done processing the batch the values in min and max have the largest and smallest data found in the dataset.
if min = high watermark then abort because there was no processing done.
I think these are the same people who invented the technology 7 years ago with the private eye...
I have used those devices and they work excellent. no eye strain and such... it basically will give you a virtual floating screen that looks like it s about 12 inches away so you dont have the eye strain and because it isnt blocking your entire vision you can see "though it" onto your work area.
this device will be cool when released... I hope I can buy one that plugs into a standard vga output.
I read their configuration and I noticed something quite odd with their comparison...
it looks like they configured the NT box as a cachine proxy server so it cached all the dynamic pages with a ttl set to infinity... so the dynamic pages and static pages were then cached.... I didnt see them do the same for linux... it was generating the dynamic pages for each request... its pretty cool that it was as fast as it was compared to a proxy server.
when spam causes a mailserver to be too busy to accept real mail (this really happens) who is responsible for the messages that arent received by the time the information has become stale?
I have had an instance where I received 100,000 peices of bounce mail from some a bulk email company and it stopped an important message to be delayed by 4 hours.... the message was telling the person that there was an important meeting they had to be at 1 hour before he got the message.
