the CSUA infrastructure over the course of this summer. To give us
some wiggle room, I've temporarily decreased soda's allocated RAM from
8GB to 2GB. If you need to run something that requires large amounts
of memory, please send mail to root@csua.org and we'll try to
accommodate your request. --jordan

highest addresses at the top or at the bottom?
\_ When I explain any memory layout including stacks, I draw with the
highest addresses at the bottom. But I've seen people doing the
other way. -- yuen

2010/7/25-8/25 [Computer/SW/Graphics] UID:53897 Activity:nil | 7/25 What's up with that moving bit pattern that Win7 displays when it
boots up? (It's the one that's like in the Apple II days when you
use the graphics memory for code or data while it's still in HGR
mode.) Is there a way to disable that? It slows things down a lot
every time I reboot my Win7 VM on my office machine if I RDP to the
machine via DSL. Thanks in advance.

2009/7/21-24 [Computer/SW/Languages/Java] UID:53168 Activity:moderate | 7/20 For those who care btw, it looks like eclipse is now A Standard Tool
at UCB ugrad cs, probably replaced emacs. Furthermore, people get
angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that). I
guess it's just a sign of the times.
\_ The more people at my work use eclipse the less the code is
managable in emacs. I'm not sure which application's fault

2013/2/19-3/26 [Computer/SW/OS/OsX] UID:54611 Activity:nil | 2/19 I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster. So I'm used to using
Xemacs to code. This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
but sometimes I have to use a Mac. On Mac, the meta is usually
bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
This makes using emacs a real pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
(Other than "use vi")

Generic standard Linux VPS (4GB RAM): $480/year
Amazon costs more (but does offer superior scaling options).
\_ Amazon is $670 if you buy a year's usage up front (heavy util).
Why is heavy util less expensive than light util?

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

to do this with something like the following:

Are there any gotchas here? Linux forces me to restart my network
to expand my netmask.

For example I want to set all the /etc/rc?.d/S91apache to S100apache
so that it'll run the ramdisk BEFORE going to apache.
\_ Sure, just move them.
