The database server handling the message areas for Voyeurweb, RedClouds, and feedback areas for the same has answered 28,442,099 questions in the last 13 days. That's when we finalized changes to it.. Before that, it had been running for 2 years.
My bosses allow for 0 downtime with Voyeurweb.. It only takes a bit of magic, a lot of available bandwidth, and redundant servers in multiple physical locations. Hell, we're slashdot proof.:)
Hehe. Ok, I have to love that one. I've personally modified digital pictures.. I have one where a coworker is having sex with a fish.. I have another where a bunch of girls are dancing in one of our colo's.. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to put a fuzzy dot on a black background..
Actually, on quite a few vehicles we do.. The throttle is an electronic actuator, and the brakes are manged by an electronic ABS system, which can both apply the brakes harder or force the user input off, usually in pulsed braking or to counteract a slide.
Some cars use electronic controls to manage how each wheel behaves. Click Here for Chevrolet's Active Handling.
Lexus, a few years back, even had electronic steering. It wasn't the front wheel controls, but the rear wheels would pivot a varying number of degrees depending on the speed and angle of the turn. It was to improve steering. It wasn't a mechanical linkage from the front.
There have been electronic automatic transmissions for years also.
Actually, the only parts that you can be fairly sure are mechical are the steering column and your seat belt.
Well, correction. How many cars were produced with the "Automatic" seat belts, that would detect the door was closed, and slide themselves up to retain the passenger?:)
We do a variety of this on Voyeurweb. We do millions of users/day (read hundreds of millions of requests/day).. For our feedback BB's, a request for the list of messages gets built once per minute on an as-needed basis..
The CGI looks to see if the page has already been generated. If it exists, it just dumps out the pre-created page to the user. If it doesn't, it creates the page..
Ugly as it may be, we have a cron which deletes any files older than x minutes. It works very well. There are 2 machines handling the CGI's for that area, and a few other lesser functions. There is one database machine which is actively used, and a backup machine which is never hit unless the primary dies. Multiple machines are for redundancy, should I want to do something silly like take one down and play with the hardware.:)
It definately reduced the load when we started caching the results.. It's easy for a perl script to dump out a HTML file, rather than doing several SQL queries and generating the HTML from the results...
To get an idea of the section I'm talking about, go to voyeurweb.com, look at a set of pictures, scroll to the bottom, and click "Leave a Comment for this Contri".
Voyeurweb has been running thttpd for over a year now. It has to be one of the best web server softwares out there. We can make a 500Mhz machine serve 100Mb/s of small files and images, without loading the machine down. We typically do thousands of simultanious connections.
I don't know about this. We're a Linux shop.. We have huge orgies, but
1) They're not homosexual orgies
2) They're not in the bathroom
Speaking of which, it's Friday, so a reminder to everyone, the weekly VoyNetworks orgy starts tonight, and will be going on through Monday afternoon. $5 admission. Complementary condoms are available (now in designer colors)
The "original" StarWars was based in the middle of the war, and R2 had been acquired, bolted, and probably modified a bit.. More than likely, parts that he had in this movie (like the ability to fly) weren't available for just a repair droid. Hell, they were trying hard to keep the X-Wings flying..
I've been wanting to get an LCD projector for my living room, after playing with one from a club a year or so ago (the unit was already 3 years old). In average lighting in a friends house, we projected a TV image that was beautiful, from about 10 feet away, which made an image approx 5 feet tall.
I don't want to spend the $3k+ to buy one from the store, but I'm more than willing to spend less than $100 on a small handheld LCD TV and junk store movie/slide projector.
I'll post to Slashdot if it works. "Hacker Makes LCD TV/VGA projector for $100", with results.:) Now if someone would only approve that..:)
Up until a few years ago, NASA's Space Shuttle Orbiter was powered by 5 computers. Each one of these ran at 1Mhz, and at best was comparable to your 8088. It was a different processor, but that should give you a clue. 3 computers ran at a time, having primary control over everything. Two were on stand-by. For every event that they controlled, there was an "election" process. Three computers decided what to do, then they'd compare their result. If the three computers didn't agree, all 5 computers would decide if that computer was faulty, then test again.
All this on a 1Mhz machine.
Did I fail to mention the mass storage? Tape drives.
He doesn't need a supercomputer. ID games are very intensive and track more game variables than the Orbiter has sensors.
Even the ground-based equipment would be better on a modern PC than what was used for the original flights. Microsoft's flight simulator takes into account all the flight variables. If a Microsoft product can do it on a low-end PC, I'm sure a well written piece of software could do it better.:)
I'd be happy to fly on the first flight of a civilian spacecraft, especially if it wasn't designed like a giant pick-up truck (i.e., the design of the NASA craft.)
Judging someone's programming abilities by where they work is not quite fair. I know someone who programs for satellites. I program for web sites. After several discussions between us, it's agreed that I'm the better programmer. Funny that, I don't agree.. But my work isn't in aerospace, mine keeps Internet servers alive.
I'd love to take the input of sensor variables, and make control decisions.
Anyone looking for a programmer to send up on a civilian space flight, be sure to contact me.:)
Policy changes have to be handled carefully. If you're the top of the decision chain, you'll find this out the hard way..
What I'd want to do is set policies on every machine so that no one could install software, remove every piece of objectionable software, and set firewall rules to only allow port 80 access. You'll find out that you just pissed off every one of your users if you do so..
Work with what you have. Try to "encourage" your users to cooperate. Start doing a bit of monitoring. Find out which machines are passing more traffic than the rest. Find out what those machines are doing. Do it in the name of security. Your looking for outside intruders, and happened to see that one machine is taking up all the bandwidth. Mention to the user that the machine is taking up all the available bandwidth slowing everyone down.
Most importantly, keep notes of everything you do.
The viruses should be fixed with a good virus software. If the kids are using the computers, they aren't going to be happy when they stop working. If they're doing it on purpose, disable the machine after hours, and leave it down for a few days, "scheduled" for repair later in the week. They like their toys, and will be more careful.. Get yourself a good remote access program (radmin is good), so you can fix stuff without running all around the facility.
If you have people that don't cooperate, they can have mysterious problems. Hmmm, I guess Kazaa is just having problems today, odd that no one can get on..:)
If you have consistant problems, luckly you've been keeping notes of everything you've been doing. Bring it to the attention of your boss, his boss, the school's lawyers, the school board, or whoever it takes (press?)
Piracy is illegal. Pirated software and music are illegal, no matter how nicely someone dresses it up. Doing illegal things on city/county/state money is usually not looked upon favorably. But there's no need to get a bunch of teachers fired. For some of them, this is their lives. Of course, for some it's just a way to make an easy buck and look at porn between classes.
Damaging school equipment is probably against some policy. That's what the viruses do. If it takes anyone time to repair it, that cost the district money. If you spent 2 hours reinstalling Windows and updating all the service packs again, that's 2 hours you could have been doing something more productive (hopefully). You should be accountable for your time. Keep logs of how you spent your time. This will probably be in your favor later, when your boss says, "Why wasn't xxx done!". "Because I was fixing 47 virus infected machines."
Isn't this almost as legal as getting a crack? Instead of breaking a protection scheme, disabling the trial timeout, or circumventing a key, you're changing the program in a way that the author did not intend.
Cool that you did it, and you know how to do it.
Not cool that it'll probably get you and/or the user in hot water. I'd believe the argument "I didn't read the EULA, because I assumed it was a standard disclaimer" would be more worthwhile in court, than "I intentionally deleted it before reading it, so there would be no agreement to agree to."
That was covered a month or three ago. Siemens is developing a keyboard-free keyboard..:) It uses lasers to draw the keyboard on any flat surface, and detect your fingers breaking the beams. I don't know how well that would work for us touch-typests, who keep our fingers on the keys most of the time. Hmmmm.
10,000 objects larger than 10cm 100,000 objects larger between 1cm and 10cm > 10,000,000 below 1cm
...and most of it's contained in a debris field from 800km to 1500km in altitude
http://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/faq/faq.html Number 3 and 6
10k objects larger than 10cm in a space larger than the size of the planet, and in a field that's 700km tall. I'd worry about objects like old satellites (visions of "Space Cowboys" coming to mind, hehe), but even then, it's like accidently driving your car into something like one of the great pyramids, but that's on a relatively flat plane, not a 700km space..
Sure, there are typically less than 1 *airliner* crash per year, but ideally, they should be installing this kind of equipment in all aircraft.. Private planes go down all the time, but you won't hear about it unless it crashes into the whitehouse (mid 1980's), or a downtown building (Tampa Fl, earlier this year or Milan last week). Most of the time, private pilots try to get their small planes to a safe area when crashing. If that was recorded, they'd know the pilot was aware of the problem, and took measures to protect the innocent.
Most people are afraid of having "black boxes" in their car for the simple reason that they might be at fault, and want to be able to lie their way out of it. Heck, if I was doing 65 in a 55 zone, and someone pulled out in front of me, it's going to show my speed of 65mph, descending until the impact. Hopefully his vehicle will be black-box equiped to, and show that there wasn't a full stop made. Everyone knows that both parties scream "I'm innocent, he did wrong" in an automobile crash. It always happens like that.
Previous articles I had read about the automotive black boxes said that they'd keep a rolling 2 minute record of all the actions the car took, including turn signals and brakeing.
Let me introduce you to my last 911 call.. I could see a vehicle burning, too far away for me to run up and help, and there were many cars in heavy traffic, stopped.
911: 911 Emergency Operations. What is your Emergency?
Me: There's a car on fire in the road at (major intersection), there...
911: Please hold. (2 minute hold)
911: Emergency dispatch. What is your Emergency?
Me: There's a car on fire in the road at (major intersection), there...
911: Is anyone injured?
Me: I don't know I can see the driver door opening. I don't know if there are other passengers, the smoke is thick.
911: Please hold. (2 minute pause)
911: Fire dispatch, what is your emergency.
Me: There's a car on fire at (major intersection), one person got out of the vehicle, he appears to need help.
911: Thank you, we'll send emergency units immediately.
Not all areas are like that, I've only ever needed to use 911 services in one metro area (above), and one rural area where I got instant response.
I've ordered Pizza's from my cell phone, in places from Miami to New York. Usually they have to type in the address that the phone number relates to anyways, so it only would matter the second time you call that particular restraunt..
I think the selectable region thing would be better, if I had lots of friends in NY or somewhere, that I'd like to be able to call me locally rather than long distance..
Not to cause trouble, but Vonage doesn't maintain the gateway, Level3 does.. But damn does Level3 they have some serious equipment..
Level3 Network Map. I've physically inspected or have (or had) equipment or connectivity in their New York, San Diego, Los Angles, Tampa, and Frankfurt.. I've brought guests into the Tampa colo, and into one of their private peerings, and just watched their jaws drop.. Those who weren't impressed had no clue what any of the equipment did.. I have (and had) equipment in quite a few other companies facilities, or toured. L3 is very good. I'll save my negative comments for another day.:)
Have a read of their featuers, and the ToS.. You can use it anywhere in the world. I have friends in Europe, who it would be cool as heck for them to have. They'd now have US phone numbers, and we could call each other for free. Two people in two different countries with US phone numbers would be free, either by the fact that they're US calls, *OR* by the fact that they're both vonage phones..
They said you can use it anywhere in the world, as long as you have sufficent bandwidth.
I ad a quick look, and it looks like they use "Level 3 Communications" for their bandwidth. They have really sweet bandwidth all over the US, Europe, and parts of Asia and Australia (did I miss any finer points?). We've been L3 customers for years internationally with no problems.
I'm strongly considering it for my house, I just don't know about the 1-year contract thing.. I think that's something I can get over before tonight.:)
What are you complaining about, you're in a universe that survived.. Think about your alternative selfs that no longer exist because their universes list didn't get sorted.:)
New York, NY (AP) -- Sony releases Celine Dion Virus.
Sony Music Entertainment Corporation was today found guilty of releasing an audio compact disc (commonly known as CD), which has been found to intentionally cause personal computers to operate erratically or completely fail to operate ("crash" in computer lingo).
Federal Authorities find the New York based company guilty of cyberterrorism. Repeated contacts to Sony's various divisions returned the official statement of "No Comment."
In related news, Microsoft has announced today that it's newest product, Windows XYZ, touted as the best version of Windows every, will be released to the public tommorrow. Beta testers around the world report that it protects users against the Celine Dion Virus. Federal authorities are investigating Microsoft for Anti-DMCA charges relating to the reverse engineering of Sony's software.
I think it's kinda funny, I ran nmap on them yesterday and today. The same ports show up as open, but I took interest in the MySQL port (telnet to it, and it'll show you the version). The made the port open on the Windows server, but it doesn't do anything.:) They're trying to make it look like the same machine to the casual observer. I guess none of us are all that casual, are we..
Congratulations to whoever made their page go blank.
