We actually do, and have for some time. Obviously, they opted to use Feet Above Mean Sea Level just. for. the. fuck. of it. (And to conform to the rest of the aviation industry around the world)
Depending on weather conditions, carburettor icing can be a present danger at only 2000 ft AMSL. It is affected by your rate of descent, engine load and relative humidity.
If anyone can tell me how killing unarmed civilians could fit into anyone's code of honor, I'd love to hear that logic. I could use a good laugh.
I'm not going to tell you how, because I find it just an incomprehensible and insane as you do. There's just no way I could word it and pretend I was doing you some informative favor by telling you.
So I can't tell you how, but please understand - for religious reasons - that some do define that as honorable.
I'm really interested in what you mean by crossover cable "trick" or why it sometimes doesn't work for you.
I've never had a situation where a crossover cable didn't work as expected when connecting like ports. Then again the first thing I do with any managed port is disable any form of autonegotiation. You know in a Cat6 crossover you cross BOTH pairs, and not just the green and orange, right?
Blocking I/O is hardly a new phenomenon. The first thing that happens to any process that needs a read from disk is to get knocked out to sleep. In terms of CPU clock cycles, a hard drive seek is like an entire season.
What's more - processes that are put to sleep in this manner usually wake with a higher priority than usual, on the assumption they're more I/O bound than CPU bound.
I'm just glad we're finally talking about this. For years I've wondered if it was just me; everyone I'd asked naturally denied any problems, when all I had to do was delete a 1GB file and I could kiss goodbye to my system for 20 seconds or so.
Back then I ran Gentoo so fine tuning your kernel was the norm, and I genuinely believed the terrible performance was due to bad choices I made selecting kernel options. About six months ago I finally abandoned Gentoo and the entire practice of too-tooing with the internals, and switched to Ubuntu, accepting defaults all the way. No I/O improvements noticed. WinXP on the same machine kicks ass.
Again, I'm glad this is no longer the 'elephant in the room' and we can finally discuss and hopefully fix this. Whodathunkit - Linux had its own Reality Distortion Field.
I'll bite: Care to explain what those logistics are? Are you so inundated with DWI drivers in NY that there's more to it than just a question of scale?
No, in fact they posess all manner of equipment to keep machines powered up in transit, and devices that simulate mouse / keyboard activity to prevent locking screensavers coming on. Sorry I don't have a link handy for you.

Okay, I still don't know how, but I believe I've just set myself up the whoosh.

Wow. This is why I come to /.

disabled autonegotion, but now understand that on GigE links autonego will still take place.

Hey, come on. You didn't come into this thread not expecting pedantry.

Never happened to me once. Probably got something to do with not following idiots who post such links.
You seem quite informed. While I've got you here, could you please tell me what the "R" in "DRM" stands for?
Would it make a difference if I were to tell you that there's probably at least one person like him in every city?
Pardon me, but it seems you're drawing a line between the first and second offense there, matey.
And also the "Start car when sober, commence drinking once underway" loophole.

Fewer idiots who can't see my point that integers don't have the monopoly on numeric comparisons.
That's because "9.237 is fewer than 9.835" is incorrect.

Now that, my friend, is +5, Funny. Nothing here has been fixed in years.
Sir, for finishing that sentence with an ellipses, you deserve everything you have coming to you.
I realise it's academic - but why not?
That's not `bash', it's UNIX.
Good points. Thanks for your reply, no matter how much you've ruined my Sunday evening you ghastly blashphemer :)
