In particular, there is still only one cache per CPU. Maybe 2.5.x knows the difference, but I don't think 2.4.x does yet. Swapping needs to know hyperthreaded CPUs share their cache, so you don't unnecessarily migrate a process from one CPU to another and lose the cache commonality. Consider a dual Xeon system, each Xeon having two hyperthreaded CPUs. Two tasks, A and B, each having two threads. Better to have both A threads on the same Xeon, ditto for B, so they share the cache.
I worked at a place with an environmental testing chamber, easily big enough to put in pizzas and crank up the heat, with liquid nitorgen bottles for cooling... wasn't internet enabled, tho...but this was 15 years ago... wonder what they are like now?
Microsoft has enough problems with PCs becoming so cheap that it costs $100 more at Walmart for a Windows OS rather then Linux. That cost differential is going to hurt them even worse on generic handhelds. Right now for $500 handhelds, that price can hide the M$ tax well enough. But a lot more people are on the lookout for cheap handhelds than cheap PCs. It's harder to convince people that it's ok to have expensive handhelds, since they are so much smaller than a PC and have such dinky screens and lousy keyboards. There's tons more competition sweating to keep prices low, since no single company controls either the CPU or the software. I don't see any way M$ can compete in the generic handheld market.
It costs about as much to decomission a nuclear power plant as to build it. All that material is radioactive. You don't just walk away from it, and you don't just walk in with hammers and start knocking it down. And then you have to store it somewhere....
People form businesses as legal entities because they want certain benefits not available to individuals, such as separation of their financial responsibilities and liabilities from their private lives. They are getting protection individuals do not have, enforced by the government.
Seriously, sit back and think about it. If business licenses did not exist, businesses could continue to run; this guy could spam just as easily as a private citizen. He does not need to do it as a business. Why, then, has he gone to the trouble of getting a business license, paying accountants and lawyers for that license?
Because the government gives him protections, isolates his business from his personal property.
As far as I am concerned, part of the price someone pays for setting up a business and getting protection enforced by the government is that the business must be publically visible. If you have to sue a business instead of the owner, because that owner has bought protection by the government, then the business must be publically visible.

Unless that station wrote all their own software, and unless that station has a monopoly on hiring programmers, it's a reasonable bet that other stations have the same setup.
It's not that they can't, they just dont want to
Yes. I can't drive 200 mph... excuse me, don't want to fork out the $$$? I can't fly a plane... or should I say, I don't have a license or plane or criminal mind to steal a plane? The idea that they should not install multiple possibly conflicting foreign software, in binary form, with unknown side effects, is common sense.

Maybe you know all about how cookies work, but you obviously have no clue of when to use them, or why. In this case, their error page itself shows how ignorant their web programmers are. It says the cookie is used to track location for the sky chart and astronomical almanac. Well, duh, this is a news story. If they really needed three cookies (not one) for those functions, they should wait until they are needed, not just ask for them regardless.
And three cookies, what is that for? Why not one? Even if they want to keep the information itself in a cookie, instead of in a database, with the database key being the cookie value, there is no reason the three cookies couldn't be combined into a single one.
In this particular case, as in many many others, they insist on having cookies or they serve up a finger waving page, naughty naughty me, instead of the desired page.
What the heck is it with this infatuation with cookies? I have never been to Sky And Telescope before, there is nothing they need to remember about me, why do sites insist on even creating cookies before they are needed? Worset yet, why do they pretend they can't show any content without a cookie?
I know cookies have their uses, I have written many websites where the cookie holds a key to db records, and I can even understand the rationale news sites using cookies for ad tracking, annoying as it is, but even news sites generally don't refuse to show the page in question just because a cookie couldn't be set.
Yes, I will send a grip to the webmaster, but I also know it will be a waste of time.
Take a couple of pictures around the expected time, see which way it is moving and how close to optimum. Magnets, LEDs, now you are talking special circuitry. Webcams are simple and cheap.
There are problems with the RFC 3514 security bit, the grill bad meat sensor does not work reliably and thus sets the bit inappropriately. The real hazard is violating the DMCA (Dead Meat Consumption Act).
A workaround is in progress. Rumor has it that a full fix will come out later this year.
It seems to me that by setting the EVIL bit, a packet thereby becomes less evil, in fact not evil at all, and thus should set the bit to 0, but of course then it would be truly evil, and back at square one are we.
My head spins along with this bit. Can someone please clear this up? Is it a bit intended only for quantum computers?

Wow, there is absolutely nothing good to post in the bin today
It's not like that's ever stopped them before. Heck, they could always post a dupe.
