3/18    Does anyone know of a library or someplace where one could take a
        look at the IEEE POSIX 2001 standard? Thanks.
        \_ Dunno about the library but I tried *very* hard to find it online
           last year.  I never got even close to a hint that it might be
           online somewhere.
           \_ well, it is certainly online, if you want to fork over
              something like $130 to the IEEE.
              \_ yeah, exactly my point.  it isn't online.
                 \_ sure it's online, but not accessible unless
                    you pay $130 to download it, or hack their site and
                    download a copy...
                        \_ duh.  enough, go away.

4/9     Which is better designed/engineered for reliability, the SDCard
        or the Compact Flash card? I'm IEEE and EE dumb but I do understand
        a lot of RAM terms and design architectures.
        \_ Mechanically, I think CF cards are more durable because there is
           more plastic and the contacts are hidden.  For example, I'd be
           comfortable to let my toddler kid play with a CF card but not an

1/16    Okay, I have a technical question here. I administer a cluster
        of java webservers running jetty (not resin, sorry). They are behind
        a load balancer. They used to start up fine under "load" i.e. in
        the load balancer configuration. The latest code release
        broke this somehow and now they crash upon startup unless
        I remove them from the load balancer first. The programmers

8/29    What's the difference between a hub, a switch and a router?  Thx.
        \_ AFAIK, probably be corrected by someone:
           hub: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith shared amongs all
                the nodes on the hub and maxing out at the max line speed.
           switch: Allows communication on a LAN with bandwith greater than
                the max line speed (point to point)

           all of my project groups in CS classes aren't around anymore?  Cry

5/25    I recorded some family reel to reel onto my computer so that I could
        archive it digitally.  Unfortunately it was recorded at 1 7/8 in/min and
        I could only play it back at 3 1/4 in/min.  The AIFF file I have is
        therefore at double time.  Can't I just change the sampling rate and
        it will run normally?  If so, how would I do this in OS X?  -scottyg
        \_ Audacity has what I'm looking for.  Thanks -Scottyg

3/5     Can a PC boot from external (usb or ieee-1344) hard drives?
                                            \_ did you mean 1394?
        \_ depends on your bios support.  Quite a few now can boot from
           external usb-anything
           \_ If you're trying to boot XP, look for Bart's PE Builder.  For
              a USB-bootable Linux, have a look at

2/4     How come USB 2.0's speed on spec is faster than IEEE 1394 but I
        can never make it come even close?
        \_ You can't confuse peak throughput rates with actual sustained
           rates. The USB and FireWire protocols are vastly different.
           Take AGP 2x, 4x, and 8x for example. One would think that
           each is twice as fast as the one before. But with the way
