That's not what I meant. I should have asked if anything can be/has been done about some of the situations mentioned in the paper, or is it a consequence of the design?
If your reply had less sarcasm, I'd have recommended you for a mod up.
Figure 6 illustrates a pathological case for the Linux scheduler which early versions of ULE fell victim to. The setup is 5 nice -5 processes each attempting to use 25% of the CPU. This over-commits the CPU by 25%, which should not be a problem. However, since Linux gradually reduces the priority until it hits the minimum, the nice value is enough to prevent even normal interactive tasks from running with reasonable latency. This was solved in ULE by using the interactivity scoring algorithm presented above.
I didn't follow the development of the O(1) scheduler very closely. Has this been looked at since 2.5.56 (the version of Linux they cite)? Is this even true?
Seriously, besides GNU, who else favors info over man? I find the system difficult to navigate. For instance, when I was first learning {,ba}sh... damn, the bash info page sucks.
Hey, you seem to be lost. I think you need some advice here:
1. Regardless of the factuality of what you have posted, you cannot simply post the text to an article without some good posting history; that is karma-whoring.
2. You cannot attempt to prove a point with such a shallow reason as "their docs look equally factual"; that is trolling.
3. You cannot possibly make us believe Darl McBride, et al., over Linus, Groklaw, Red Hat, IBM, Novell, etc...; for just as SCO has a vested interest in its side of the case, so do most of us in Linux's side; attempting to prove their case here (except in the face of absolutely "overwhelming" evidence, such as actual lines of code) is just plain futility, and stupidity.
I second that, although my school is less hostile than it seems yours was for you. For me, it's that my workload and deadlines prevent me from carrying it out that much. True story: I'm supposed to write a term paper, research starting in December, the paper due at the end of February; what I want to write is a thesis paper, so I can't turn it in until the end of June, because of the increased work involved in trying to prove something new, as opposed to the directions we were given (well, that, and I had null ability to meet the organizational guidelines). This is what happens when high school gets in the way of intellectual persuits... or is it the other way around...
(Although, to qualify my agreement with you, I would say that following directions is important when other people's lives are at stake; otherwise, yay 4 learning!)
I was thinking of switching to Cox here in NOLA, but, I went to the website, and was shocked when I started looking at the agreements there. Not so much the bandwith limits, but, things like:
1. No servers of any kind - Yikes...I run Apache, email..etc.
I've been running personal servers for ages. SSH, ed2k, ftp... I'll be damned if they catch me...
2. Not NAT's...well, there goes my wireless network at home..and they want a sur-charge for you to have one?
Oops. No, really: oops. I didn't see that one. I might want to hide my wireless router when they come by my house and wire my sister's room for ethernet...
Of course, I wrote them a semi-nasty tech support email, 'cause my email account is currently "inactive." Bull.
Other than that, they aren't that bad... HAHAHAHAHA I can't say that with a straight face!
But seriously, from what I've heard, BellSouth's DSL is light-years ahead of where it was. I was thinking of asking my father if I could switch, but... oh well...
When childrens' toys started becoming interactive, parents assumed that the responsibility lies with the producer of the product. Either that, or something about generational gap. When people who lived with this stuff as kids become the parents, I should hope we get it right.
Actually, lol isn't to you thought to be such a bad expression. To you, it is understood as something like "heh" or more like "is that right?"* being breathed out and said in real life. Since those emotions cannot be expressed in words, one was made up for use online. OTOH, lol is misused and is said after everything. That in and of itself is not bad, if a funny conversation is being undertaken it seems right for lol to be used instead of a smiley. Smileys were liked by me back when they weren't turned into gay (sorry, that's a word that needs to be gone) yellow things. So lol stays as text and works out better.
In summary, "LOL" should be replaced with "gay" as an adjective. That would be better.
Also, anyone by whom "bling-bling" is said is going to be shot by me. And anyone by whom the passive voice is written in.
Wow, the first time a grammar nazi-like post has been on topic. Now you'll be left by me:) [lol, heh, rofl]
-- * Actually, 'lol ok' == 'is that right?' IMO. It was shortened to lok by my friends and me, which is more efficient (save on bandwidth, my friends) than 'is that right?'
Slashdot Mirror
will it fall into obscurity like so many document types?
pcx is hardcore
stop breathing ^_^
Have a nice day!
souped up "Edit"
It's called vim...
You'll want to go here.
My solution is to not have any important email. Everything becomes so much easier...

Um... I think I should just go sit down now.
Um... I think it's the other way around.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Too bad I use vi ;)

I don't know whether you are serious or not; regardless, I'm crying on the inside...

Assuming you can fit 60 lines of code on a 8.5"x11" sheet
Umm... isn't Legal-size paper 8.5" x 14"? Or am I just confused?
Obviously you ACs out there haven't heard about Mossad before...
I yell to the guy I just fragged in the other room at a LAN party. I feel what the character in the game is feeling.
It'd be really cool if games would give me some biofeedback.

I feel sad for someone who only has enough room in their world for one computer language.
If it can't be done in Logo, it's not worth doing!
According to Connections episode "Yesterday, Tomorrow, and You," American women spent as much on cosmetics as NASA spent on Apollo 11.
yay 4 James Burke...

and many linux distros only have beta quality 64 bit OS'es.

Haven't tried it myself, having no Opteron and motherboard.
I can dream, can't I?
I'm sorry for insulting the NY Times.

There are no details in one article, and the Times' just talks around the facts and about SEC statements.
