There's code in Linux to allow it to work with known-bad RAM, you just need to tell it the address range to avoid and the VM subsystem marks that as not for use, kind of like a disk drive mapping out a bad sector.
I used that before, because it sucks to to throw away 4 GB of ram. It's a seperate patch, though. My kernel was all kinds of haphazard: badram + reiser4 + binary nvidia + vesafb-tng
I was referring to the Libertarian Party. The peoblem is I'm not sure you can really call it viable. If for no other reason than that all the voting machines are rigged...
I may be wrong, but I think that newer kernels always use an initramfs even if you don't realize it. If you search the linux-kernel archives for "early userspace" they talk about moving kinit into userspace. At some point in the future most (all?) of the boot code will be moved into userspace. The plan seems to be that the kernel build a default initramfs for you that is functionally identical to the current behavior. If you want to you can customize it via various methods.
"We decide what your scientific interests have to be! Deviating from them is heresy and will be punished by exclusion from the scientific community! Be a good scientist! You must not think what you are not allowed to think!"
No one is dictating to anyone what to think. The problem is the sharing of a limited resource (language). When different groups of people use the same word (science) for to represent different concepts it creates a namespace collision. We all know how inconvenient that is.
Imagine a scene from a school playground:
Children A,B,C,and D are playing basketball. Child E walks up with a baseball and bat and says "I want to play basketball with you".
Child A: "Ok, but you need a basketball to play with us, not a bat"
Child D: "I have a basketball"
Child A: "No, that's a baseball. If you want to play baseball you can go over there and play with those people in the baseball field."
Child D: "My ball is every bit as good as yours! Who are you to say what is or isn't a basketball? You can't dictate to me what kind of ball to play with!"
Child A: "Fine, call it whatever you want. Who said anything about dictating anything? You can play with whatever ball you want. There's plenty of room on the playground, you can do whatever you want. But if you want to play with us, we only play with the large-bouncy kind of balls, not the small,not-bouncy ones."
Child D: "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! You're trying to oppress my intellect!"
Isn't this more of a case study of not proofreading the final product rather than relying on an unreliable source? The list of names could have been emailed to all the translators first before finalizing the DVD.
Joeri and thousands of screaming fans here were rightfully pestering me to get it done as fast as possible,
I think the author doesn't really understand binary math.
They gave each address a "16-bit" number, which meant that the total number of available addresses worked out at about four billion (2 to the power of 32).
Maybe the solution is linuxbios?. Presumably this would prevent any vector for a virus to take over the bios except a compromised kernel or physical access to the hardware.
I don't think you want to drop all RST flags, only those that don't come from the host you are talking to. One suggestion was to compare HTL values from the RST packet to the HTL of the host you are trying to talk to. If they don't match, drop the packet. I do not know how/if this is possible using iptables.
In fact, "theory" is a misnomer, since unlike general relativity theory or quantum theory, string theory is not a concise set of solvable equations describing the behavior of the physical world. It's more of an idea or a framework.
I think the article says it best. If we keep letting people use the term "theory" too loosely it just gives more ammunition to the intelligent design idi... proponents.
In truth neither intelligent design or string "theory" is really a scientific theory as neither makes testable predictions yet. Maybe string theory will in the future but until then it is just an idea.

Memtest86 has solved about 75% of the all the voodoo problems I've had with my computers.
Most of the other 25% are directly related to water somehow getting on the motherboard...
I imagine that only works for Xwindows? Is there a solution for the console?
A much better article is linked from this one near the bottom: what every computer scientist should know about floating-point arithmetic
They forgot DESQview, the preferred environment for running your BBS software

I hated 3.5" floppies. I remember about a 25% sucess rate for "not having a bad block on a new disk as soon as I write something important on it."
Let's hope a viable party C emerges real soon now.
If you assume your vote doesn't count anyway, you might as well vote libertarian.

Before you insult a man, first walk a mile in his shoes. Because then you're a mile away and you have his shoes.
Um, I messed that Child E / Child D thing up. But I think you can figure it out.

For completeness, also keep a log of when bad things happened to your friends and you did not have a feeling.
I think I found the real problem.
He was *correct about the total number of addresses, but ipv4 is 23 bit numbers and v6 is 128 bit.
*note: I didn't check the actual value of 2^128 but 4 billion is about right for 2^32
frickin' "laser" beams
Actually, I think you need to drain all the blood anyway, so maybe it is easier for someone who is already injured

You are hurting my brain
It's not a theory yet until it makes a testable prediction. The difference is it has the potential to be one whereas intelligent design does not.
