I've played with the Linux realtime extensions (preempt_rt) in a production environment and so far I've had good results. This is a very simple usleep test that shows how having the patch helps: http://wiki.freaks-unidos.net/weblogs/arhuaco/preempt_rt-test You can use the SCHED_RR or the SCHED_FIFO scheduling algorithm for realtime applications.
Mmm. Maybe. But I guess I could say I'm quite smart! I make a living and I am also bipolar.
I have a daughter who is quite, quire smart:)
So natural selections is operating:) Time will tell.
On the other hand, I think people think that you can have some genetic predisposition for this, but other things have to be around in order to show symptoms.
I'm bipolar too (Type I, with a single mania that happened 2 years ago -- it was scary -- I went nuts).
Well, I'm rather depressive and like a type II, but since I had one mania, technically it could
happen again. When it happened I didn't know I had to take care of myself and I would stay up many
days in a row programming and hacking:).... I learnt in the worst way that doing this can trigger a manic episode. Well, I don't have to justify myself:)
I used to be way too secretive about this, but now I tell everyone. And everyone is almost
fine with it. Some illness (as they call them now) will be better understood if we are open
and not afraid of what is happening to us. Many others (even scientists) have been considered
kinda ill in the past, so there is no big deal with this for me.
Sometimes, I do risky things, too. But I've never hurt anyone and I think
I never will. I haven't even hurt myself I I think I will never do it.
Of course, I have to take care of myself. If I don't sleep in a week I might go insane,
but I never do that.
I believe I KNOW what I do, and even when I also believe in scientific determinism, I tend to think that
I can decide what I do. I know it's contradictory, but I have to believe what better
suits the situation and what is better for me (and for the ones around me, whether I love them or not).
There's something very funny about being bipolar. My doctor says that it doesn't
happen much often, but it happens to me. When I have an idea, I tend to evaluate whether
it's a good idea of if it's flawed thinking. And somehow my mind corrects its state.
If I'm too exited, I know I have to slow down and I do it. If I'm way too depressed, I know
it's not OK and I try to escape.
Of course, medication (antidepressants and so on) help a lot. My medicines are kinda expensive
and in Colombia I have to pay for them myself. Fortunately, I have a good job and that's no
problem for me.
I hate meds, but I will not leave them. That's the best think science have been
able to come up with (poor dogs:( -- a lot of them have died so I can be alive now), and now I feel I'm better. I even have a nice job and so on.
Sometimes this is kinda scary, but I have learnt 2 things:
You should take it seriously, so you can take care of yourself.
You should not take it way too seriously, so you can have a normal life.
And a doctor told me something that was very wise advice : You have to
be smart enough to do what it's better for you and not what you'd like to do.
I'd like to know what are the experiences of others when they've been
open about being bipolar. BTW: It would be a waste to have me locked:) I help a lot of people.
One of my favorite sports: Migrate SuSE installation to Debian GNU/Linux. This year I've moved 4 important servers at work, and I'm about to move two more.

I posted some stats here(I can not put them here becouse they trigger the "Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!" message:) Maybe This post is way too lame).
Anyway, if you check the stats you'll notice that My left hand is wasted! I have the 'ñ' at the home row! Insane.
(I posted those statistics by hand, someday I might use the blogger API to have the PC post by itself).
Some applications are just way too complex. As your application grows, this test will be less useful. I am trying to learn automated testing of web applications, and so far, I've found that javascript and popups are evil.

I use NoScript and I could not live without it. I care about security.
I thought it was not possible :) Seems like fun. Poor sysadmins :)

I really agree with this.
Hey! Good to see fuwiki in Slashdot. I'll follow this howto, I really want to learn how to:
:)
* Set up an LDAP server with replication and use it.
* Set up spamassasin (very well).
I will learn this year.
Rock on
Hi :)
Because I use vim and sometimes I edit files and delete a lot of things.... specially when I copy and paste code. Maybe this was one of those days.
I wrote a Linux Kernel patch to check if I would do better with Kvorak.

I installed it once just to check it out but I didn't like it. By then, I was a RedHat user. Now I only use Debian since it fits my needs (often).
I recommend Knoppix and Mandrake for end users here.

This is not longer true. You can compile perl code.

Sure... what if you wanted to run the Linux Kernel Mailing List in your server?
You can use the Linux Virtual Server to
cluser databases. If there are mostly reads,
it will be rather easy. MySQL has built-in
replication.

It's not that transparent, though.
hmm, well,
IMHO, this is the next "Turing Test" http://www.robocup.org/ . It's quite hard to play soccer. I tell you =)

... It's very well-written and persuasive, IMO. In fact, I have trouble believing it was written by a Congressperson for that very reason.

I don't know whether he wrote it himself or not. Anyway, he didn't have to! what are assessors for? His merit is to get it done!

You can use the same debian distro with different Kernels. So...
