There's a British TV film (play) about this. Made in 1979, it is #83 on the BFI list of the greatest British television programmes. Unsurprisingly, the film is called The Knowledge.
A heads up for those running CentOS 6.6. This issue is not patched by default (because CentOS is in the midst of the transition from 6.6 to 6.7). Sysadmins using bog-standard CentOS 6.6 bind will need to enable the continuous release (CR) repository and update bind using that.
Wondering if this issue is serious enough to warrant the CentOS folk putting some patched bind rpms in the CentOS 6.6 updates repo? My guess is that a lot of people might miss the patch otherwise.
Up until about 1970, essentially every significant "American" scientific discovery of accomplishment was the work of European-born and European-trained scientists and engineers.
I got the Programmers at Work book recently (picked it up in a second hand book sale). After reading the articles I looked up a few Wikipedia entries. John Page is not there at all. And PFS:FILE is mentioned only in passing in an entry on pfs:Write [sic] - in which Page is entirely absent.
Short term (human lifetime) by using GPS, VLBI and measurements of seismic activity.
Long term (earth lifetime) by using magnetic stripe lineations on the seafloor, hot-spot tracks (eg, the Hawaiian volcano chain) and other geologic indicators.
True, I suppose... although the scale of the problem is somewhat greater. Rock also tends to flow under pressure, so it's not a simple matter of shear force.
... and the places where earthquakes occur are deep in the earth and not amenable to direct observation. Earthquake prediction, in the sense of saying when any specific event will occur, is a very hard problem.
Simply make the filesystem mark deleted files as "hide from directory listing, and really delete only if you need the space". Then add a couple of syscalls to examine these "recyclable" files and restore them to normal status.
Netware has a Salvage utility that relies on a filesystem with those attributes. It used to be called the Netware File System (yes, NFS). More recent versions are now called Novell Storage Services. Ported to SuSe now according to Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novell_Storage_Services/
What's with those bracketed codes after the names in the printed/faxed email, eg (HQ-AA000)? What email system are they using? Just curious that's all...

What was even surprising to us is that Intel FORTRAN is also free of charge...
I bet Intel are surprised too. Their compilers are not that free of charge. The people at the Philippine government's official weather service are hardly "not getting compensated in any form"

Keep anything, no matter how old, from O'Reilly books.
Sure. You never know when you'll need to reach for Securing Windows NT/2000 Servers for the Internet

So Illinois and South Dakota are European states then?
Singaporeans liked the concept of Daylight Saving so much that in 1982 they moved to it permanently.
Not so. See the article Why is Singapore in the 'Wrong' Time Zone? for a better explanation.
like using vi to look at a config file you have no intention of editing
For that we use view of course.
And :w! if we change our mind.

I always thought XV was shut down for being the shareware everyone had but nobody ever paid for.
Hey! I paid for it!
Anyone know how the measure this stuff?

Really? Just have a look at some of these posts.

That's because geophysicists mostly don't grok TeX. Don't know why. Maybe because they start off as geologists?

Perhaps it escaped your notice, but ROTK is a film of a book. A book that tells a great story. The battle scenes are just part of it.
It will soon be about 2^30 (1 billion, not 2 billion) seconds since 1970 (do the arithmetic).
My arithmetic says that 1 billion = 1,000,000,000 whereas 2^30 is 1,073,741,824.
The 1 billion rollover happened back in September 2001. The 2^30 rollover is in a few weeks time.
