linux does the same as window. if you try to delete a running executable, the file is just marked as deleted so it doesn't show up with a directory listing. when the process terminates, the file is actually removed from disk automatically.
X11 uses UNIX domain sockets when the client & server are on the same machine.
people just see the 'network transperancy' bit and think - gee that must slow things down. There is no actual network traffic, and it is just another means of IPC.
night vision does come in colour. basically, there is a spinning colour filter wheel in front of the lens. This filters out all but one primary colour. The image is then amplified to white, and another spinning wheel near the viewfinder changes it back to colour.
it's kind of like a DLP projector, and might not actually use a wheel, but you get the picture.
you usually BUY a book, but with software (esp for businesses) you LICENCE it.

Is IRC All Bad?
·
· Score: 1
i'd much rather try IRC over kazaa. There are several web based XDCC/fserve search engines to find what you're after, and you're way less likely to get something with a backdoor/virus in it.
IRC has people on it that know a bit more (maybe not much, but a bit) about computers than the average user of kazaa. I mean, open up kazaa and search for 'ntoskrnl.exe' or 'resume.doc' to see the number of idiots that have their whole drive shared.
But this is a cluster, so they could have just taken one node down at a time and replaced the motherboards or disabled the on board NIC and added a PCI NIC.
well in this case it was a 9 computer cluster that was supposed to be redundant, automatic failover and what not.
they could have taken one machine down, added a NIC, turned it back on. it would have taken 30 minutes (being really generous here).
If they did one machine at a time, they wouldn't have noticed any downtime, but would have prevented this from happening.
And in regards to computers in plant situations with faults for years (granted, i don't know the specifics of your situation, and i'm not trying to flame) - i'd much rather have some planned downtime to fix it than be called out in the middle of the night to fix it.
Yes, i know that, but these NIC's couldn't even be set to the proper speed/duplex.
From TFA:
We have 9 machines with faulty motherboards with embedded NICs that don't do auto-negotiation properly. They only work with certain switches, so they reboot fine, but then their gigabit network comes up at 100 half duplex or something that doesn't work. To get them back up they need somebody at the NOC to plug them into a compatible switch, let them autonego, then switch them to their real switch. Setting the speed/duplex settings on both the host and/or switch themselves doesn't work....
i work for a large-ish hospital in australia (roughly 2500 PC's and 120 servers). We have 2 VMS systems running on Alpha's (ones for failover), a few boxes supplied by vendors running god-knows-what, maybe 20 running 2000 Server and the rest running NT server.
I however managed to get 1 linux box into production running some web services such as a frontend to our call logging database and an inventory management program, both of which i wrote myself.
All of the windows servers have a scheduled job to restart them weekly in the early hours of the morning so they work properly, and my box has an uptime of around 120 days ATM. It would be more too, except the power to the room is a bit average, even though it has 2 huge UPSs and 2 seperate power feeds.
also have a look at cdbaby. they have a lot of indie artists, and from their about page:
Cool thing: in a regular record deal or distribution deal, musicians only make $1-$2 per CD, if they ever get paid by their label. When selling through CD Baby, musicians make $6-$12 per CD, and get paid weekly.

i'm really hoping that you had to look that up somewhere.
not that i'd know or anything . . .
(probably should post AC, but no one is going to read this anyway . . .)
they should sell songs at 99c. that way they can advertise that all their music is under $1.

so, they had faulty motherboards, knew about it, and didn't do anything to fix it before they had a major outage?

there are a LOT of DVD's out there that just have a PCM audio stream . . .

High Intensity Discharge. It's basically a light created by a high-voltage arc inside the light housing.
doesn't 1atm = 1 bar = 1000 millibars? the variation slightly above or below 1000 is caused by local weather systems.
No, i did mean GM. As in Genetically Modified.
mmmm, time to go and get some satay :)
