2011/6/5-8/27 [Computer/HW/Memory] UID:54127 Activity:nil | 6/5 In an effort to stabilize our services, we'll be rebuilding parts of
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

2010/2/8-18 [Computer/SW/Apps/Media, Computer/SW/Apps] UID:53695 Activity:kinda low | 2/5 I like Adobe Flash. When written correctly, it scales along
with your browser size. It looks consistent on every single
browser. It is predictable. On the other hand, I'm not a big
fan of CSS/HTML, which for the most part, look wildly different
between browsers, and don't even work consistently or
correctly at times. So why do so many people (like Steve Jobs)

What is Larry Ellison thinking? What is he going to do with a bunch of
legacy Sun hardware that no one uses anymore, its fading workstation
customer base, and open source Sun MySQL that doesn't even generate
revenue? I really don't get all this acquisition business.
\_ A lot of big companies still use big, fat Sun hardware. Or use

i'll grant that ruby on rails has excellent tutorials for the mac.

I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
somewhat at a loss as to how to use it. (More details: bridged

\- back in the solaris say 2.5-2.6 era, it had both some bugs
(some malformed nis maps made it go crazy) and architectural
flaws in the IPC/door+threading mechanism. if you are running
OS-recent, dunno, but you can trace it.

2008/3/30-4/6 [Computer/SW/OS/Solaris] UID:49614 Activity:nil | 3/30 Question: I just deleted 60 GB of files from an 80 GB disk. The
disk activity lights were blinking like crazy and I could hear the
drive crunch while the data was deleted. This is under Solaris.
Anyway, I think UNIX uses unlink() when files are deleted. Shouldn't
it just update the free list on the superblock and call it a day?
What is all the crunching about?
