  3. Re:so what on GCC 4.3.0 Exposes a Kernel Bug · · Score: 5, Insightful

    FTFA:

    This problem has existed for 15 years; GCC has always emitted code that worked correctly on kernels that did not follow the ABI, until now.

    Part of the problem is that there are an enormous number of installed kernels that are vulnerable to this problem, but only if GCC 4.3 is installed.


    That's, quite literally a fuckton of systems. So simply patching new kernels isn't going to make the problem go away.

  20. Re:Skydiving on Unusual Data Disaster Horror Stories · · Score: 1

    Well my numbers were realllly off since I guestimated for the stopping time. A more accurate measure would be: .5 kg camera gives weight of 4.9 netwons.
    A rough guestimation of 125 m/s terminal velocity for it, and giving it the benefit of the doubt, have it fall the longways, gives a length of 12 centimeters, which at that speed gives an impact time of .00095999xxx seconds.

    Using the formula

    Favg = m (dv/dt)

    Favg = 65104N.

    Now going on a limb here. F = ma

    65104N = .5kg * a
    a = 260416 m/s^2 = 26573 g

    Where g = 9.8 m/s^2

    force = m * dv/dt

    So figure half a kilo camera falling at a terminal velocity of 125 meters per second, gives us a force of 3125 newtons, which is about 637 G if my math is right.
