2012/8/29-11/7 [Computer/SW/Security] UID:54467 Activity:nil | 8/29 There was once a CSUA web page which runs an SSH client for logging
on to soda. Does that page still exist? Can someone remind me of the
URL please? Thx.
\_ what do you mean? instruction on how to ssh into soda?
\_ No I think he means the ssh applet, which, iirc, was an applet
that implemented an ssh v1 client. I think this page went away

the following?
- Windows 8
- Windows Server "8"
\_ Because when they didn't do it, code didn't see the '\0'
and went over? Looks better than '8','\0' *shrug*

2012/1/4-2/6 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:54281 Activity:nil | 1/4 I want to test how my servers behave during a disk failure and
a RAID reconstruction so I want to simulate a hardware failure.
How can I do this in Linux without having to physically pull
a drive? These disks are behind a RAID card and run Linux. -ausman
\_ According to the Linux RAID wiki, you might be able to use mdadm
to do this with something like the following:

Hall server room reorganization (we're being moved to a neighboring
server cabinet). Downtime will hopefully be minimal. --jordan
\_ Thanks for all your work keeping the machines running! It's
been awesome having soda actually working again.
\_ Update: this is tentatively scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

2011/9/14-10/25 [Computer/HW/Drives] UID:54173 Activity:nil | 9/13 Thanks to Jordan, our disk server is no longer virtualized. Our long
nightmare of poor IO performance should hopefully be over. Prepare for
another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!

Just kidding! (I hope)
In any case, this means that cooler was taken out back and shot, and

2010/8/29-9/30 [Consumer/Camera, Computer/SW/Languages] UID:53939 Activity:nil | 8/28 Hi, anybody printed a photo image to a big plotter? Something like
36"x36"? I'm wondering how many megapixels the image need to
have in order for the print to "look good". There is a rule of
thumb? Like 6 megapixel is good for X size print. 10 megapixel
is good for Y size print. Thanks.
\_ You don't need that many more megapixels for much bigger prints,

2010/4/2-15 [Consumer/Camera] UID:53768 Activity:nil | 4/2 Can someone please click on the nytimes link below and look at the
top photo (with the living room). I've been searching for a
poster like that for a few years now; it looks like a blurry
photo of buildings at night. Does anyone know where I could
find such a poster, or a similar one, or even what the name of
such a photo/poster might be? Thanks in advance.

2010/4/2-14 [Consumer/Camera] UID:53767 Activity:nil | 04/02 Anybody know of a program that can generate a big picture collage from
a lot of smaller pictures? I'm not looking for a regular photo
collage maker that just puts the pictures in tiles one after another.
The big picture being generated can be something like a company
logo and the small pictures can be company employees photos. I've
seen those in annual reports but I don't know how they're generated.
