  1. Re:Very weird... on UPDATED: OpenSSH Domain Name Controversy · · Score: 1

    i dont know why the openssh guys simply dont block all requests coming through openssh.org...that will put an end to it instantly. just make the front page dynamic and block the moron.

  2. Re:Ship the Chips! on Motorola Releases HA Linux · · Score: 1

    umm..no. its also on regular intel hardware. see :
    http://www.henge.com/~alanr/ha/....compactPCI cards can be hotswapped. in any hardware that supports it. and BTW, that CPU swapping is also because the CPUs are connected to the PCI bus.

  3. Re:So how do you get the code? on Motorola Releases HA Linux · · Score: 3

    maybe you should look harder. the source code for hot swapping linux kernel mods are available here (http://www.mcg.mot.com/cfm/templates/swDetails.cf m?PageID=704&SoftwareID=6) ...they also give it out on cdrom.

    i thought gzip only handles .gz files...zcat and compress/uncompress are supposed to handle .Z...and is .Z LZW compressed ? or only LZ compressed ?

    one would think that time is better spent actually learning something new...oh wait..thats not what universities are for.

  7. Re:There's already DOOM for Windows CE on OpenGL for Palm OS Environment · · Score: 1

    i've been running bleeding edge code that i wrote on my palm (pro - os 2.x) and have never experienced data loss. palmos (at least 2.x that i have) has memory protection (even if it has no application protection) and the databases can last through most resets without loosing data. i've never experienced data loss myself although i crash it at least 4 times a day with bleeding edge code. im reasonably confident the pilots dont loose data - if yours does theres something wrong with it.

  8. Re:real time linux ... maybe for grad students? on Computer Science Curriculum Using Linux? · · Score: 2

    not really. linux may be large but all the drivers are really small. complexity is great to learn from and its not that hard. it took me two weeks to write a barebones driver. i'd recommend a fairly simple project that illustrates some important concepts for this sort of thing. maybe a small kernel based timer to drive an external application of some sort, a small filesystem driver, a small network driver for a crude serial port network device or something similar. the palmpilot is a great help to hook up via the serial ports or a small serial terminal with a small microprocessor which can be programmed to simulate various simple system concepts and/or hardware interfaces.

  9. Re:Not nessasary on AMD Announces 1GHz Athlon Imminent · · Score: 1

    true. also for java speed is a requirement not an option. Just ONE server running java servlets at my place has 10 500MHz CPUs NOW..and we could use all the horsepower we can get our hands on. SSL sucks up CPU like anything as does java. i'd love to get 10 1GHz CPUs instead of 500MHz. or even 10 2GHz CPUs...preferably cheap.

  10. the best way.. on Developing (and Debugging) Java Servlets on Linux. · · Score: 1

    is no way at all. simply use pico to edit yer files, write an automated script to compile and use System.out.println to write out debugging info. use a tail -f /var/log/httpd/errorlog or whatever to view the info in real time.

    just use a slackware floppy. it has all the stuff you need to mount yer drives and repair em. and its the equivalent of a linux system on a floppy.

  21. Re:Oh come on...shareware? on Pirates Steal Negative $1,400,000,000 from Music Industry · · Score: 1

    its the try before you buy shareware concept thingy which kicks in - if those stoopid studios allowed poeple to download a few songs legally from each cd as mp3's more people would like those songs and buy cds.
    oddly enough, for music & videos (think movie trailers or even poor quality ripped movies) it does work. for shareware software i dunno tho...shareware seems to have pretty much died in favour of payware or freeware.

  25. Re:A dumb question on SGI and SuSE Team Up on FailSafe for Linux · · Score: 2

    ok. that is a dumb question..:) to be brief :
    The high availability of virtual server can be provided by using a tool to monitor network service availability and server nodes. The "heartbeat" code currently provides the heartbeats among two node computers through serial line and UDP heartbeats. IP take-over software is provided by using of ARP spoofing. In other words,
    [a] a daemon sites monitoring heartbeat packets coming from the servers [master and slaves]
    [b] one master goes down, the heartbeats stop from the master.
    [c] one of the other slave(s) takes over with ARP spoofing of the masters ip address.
