  1. Already been there on Patch the Linux Kernel Without Reboots · · Score: 1

    Long ago there were two different unofficial kernel patches, which allowed swapping the kernel during runtime. Think it was in time of the 2.2 series or so, quick googling sadly didn't come up with the stuff. If only my memory wasn't that bad :(

  2. Re:Holodeck on View-Dependent Stereoscopic Projection · · Score: 1

    That's called a "cave" ;)

  3. Re:Impressive on Genetic Algorithm Improves Shellsort · · Score: 2, Informative


    You should not look at genetic algorithms, but perhaps upon a newer "family" known as PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). It's obviously very similar to GAs but takes care of cooperation as part of the development of solutions. This is the "weak" point of GAs as they only work through "battling" other solutions.

    Swarms are a concept which was "invited" in 1995 I believe. Read some articles about it.

  4. Re:Fundamentally flawed on MojoNation ... Corporate Backup Tool? · · Score: 1

    You forgot the overhead created from replication. I think Hive is a concept beneath regular tape-based backups. It's purpose seems to be faster recovery and versioning; not replacement of backup solutions.

    If you'd use this concept for the user's workareas with documents and maybe configuration data from your servers and have a way of transparently access the p2p backupped data, this could indeed be of benefit for your company.
