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

2012/5/18-7/20 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:54392 Activity:nil | 5/18 On my Win7 machine, I've been using a PuTTY ssh session to soda as a
proxy for my FireFox to bypass my company's OpenDNS when I visit
http://tv.yahoo.com and so on. It has been working fine for a long while.
However, in the past couple weeks or so, my FireFox would either take
several minutes to load the page, or failes to load it after several
minutes. I haven't changed any settings on my Win7 machine. Rebooting

version of Firefox will soon be vulnerable to online attacks." Are
they planning to turn off some security feature in my version of
Firefox?

2010/2/18-3/9 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:53713 Activity:nil | 2/18 Why is there now Firefox 3.5.8 when there was already 3.6 a month ago?
\_ Why is there Windows XP SP3 when there was already Vista?
Generally companies manage patches for at least two levels of
product. -tom
\_ I see. So Fx 3.6 is more like a new version than an update to
3.5.x. --- OP

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)

Will this make me a hozer?
\_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
but our login server is not.
