@Psycogeek: I heard the exact same arguement you make about cars
old care were simpler, and 'sturdier'. New cars are complex, hard to fix, and not built like a shit brickhouse. They are more efficient, and you're more likely to survive a crash.
@JourneymanGeek the last point is disputable -- a new car in a wreck with an old car is a very bad sight to behold
a steel frame car hitting an aluminum/plastic/cotton/whatever they use these days for cars... the steel frame will bend and the other will crumple like a soda can, letting the passengers absorb the impact
two small, new cars wrecking are relatively safe because of much lower mass, but you don't want to be hit by a 1980 Chevy Caprice in your new car

@JourneymanGeek Back again, sorry about that customer showed up, Plus i had to boot to XP to do thier thing. Weird thing about new cars is they truely are more reliable, even though they are plastic and computerised. Either that or they just dont last long enough to break down, like the old ones did after 25 years of operation.
merely 15 years ago during a california commute the shoulder of the freeway would be (overstated) littered with cars broken down with one problem or another. now either everyone has AAA , or they are way more reliable. (the goverment does have a free program in some areas to tow your butt off the freeway, but only in some areas)
Oh to fix :-) yes i used to be able to fix a car. Now there is a lot of extra stuff, but if i dont get scared of it, it still is usually something simple that goes wrong. And if the computers fail, they seem to just replace the whole thing.
The Windows OS (to me) is a little like all the smog stuff, the extra 13 sencors and other junk added, but still when something goes wrong the computers diagnostics do not always identify the problem correct (because something is wrong). Get under the hood, and start Tossing out stuff left and right, get down to the base engine, where its simpler , familiar, and little left that can go wrong.
2 of My (older) cars that have all that computerised stuff for setting the fuel mix, get it all wrong , probably because of my (good) driving habits. If I reset the computer I get about 1/5th better gas mileage, untill it "learns" again. They have improved since then.
Really would a Single knob on the dash that allowed for fuel mix control, Plus the user knowing about 5minutes worth of information, be "better" than 13 layers of a machine guessing and hoping :-)
The national goverment lab here has spent some 2billion dollers in the "Combustion research facility" to get perfect fuel mix and ignition down to .005% accuracy. Then points out that your average line-manufactured car, might be within 10% or so. I say gimme the 2billion 5 minutes of instruction, and a Knob :-)
California is all about progress though. they have cars that will go 140MPH with 45MPG. but during a normal commute a Model-T 5HP engine and a constant 20-25mph speed would get you through the heavy commute traffic just as fast.
well you know what they say about that (whos they) The system is "fault Based" it is like that cho cho train you had as a kid, bumps into the wall backs up and bumps into the next wall :-)
> Metafile: Metafile is part of the system cache and consists of NTFS metadata. NTFS metadata includes the MFT as well as the other various NTFS metadata files (see How NTFS Works for more details, and of course Windows Internals is a great reference). In the MFT each file attribute record takes 1k and each file has at least one attribute record. Add to this the other NTFS metadata files and you can see why the Metafile category can grow quite large on servers with lots of files.
I have a server which runs Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 with 4GB of RAM which hosts around 2-3 million files, the majority of which are image files.
Over a course of a week, I have noticed that applications on the server were slowing to a crawl due to excessive paging to the disk due to low memory...
As many disks as I got putting all the MFTs in ram cache? Ahh because the server with 2million files ends up with a very large MFT. cause the files of a small size are stored IN the mft.
Interesting, something I didnt even bother to recognise before because that pink section is always a very small part of the whole.
I am running 8g now, and windows just chews it all up for the cache thing, then has (slight) balking and slowing down as it has to clear the cache while trying to simeltaniously allocate the memory to something else.
Which wouldnt be a problem, if the programs that I need cache for most, didnt use some read method that avoids using it (or it just sucks:-)
I am on the edge of testing windows "dynamic cache service" thing to see if controlling cache using that method would be useful. I got away with the way it works so far with only the minor slowdowns. Hide Eyes dont look :-)
add that some say it doesnt work on win7 64 , plus one more POS running, Plus i think it just keeps doing a "bump back" Which is just more of the same?
Probably, but what did they fix? I THOUGHT i saw a change after some winders updates in the cache behaviour. But i have still seen it take everything, and slowly releace it, when i fire up a program that sucks up data and puts it into ram, like audio editor.
I have read both of them blogs, (earlier and without much interest) i dont recall them saying it is all fixed now you can go home and play :-)
Deallocation chunk size would have fixed some of what i observed. Instead of tossing out things one by one, just Blast out a gig clear , and get on with it.
Note: i am never going to say it technically accurate.
then they got all complicated, and started talking about dirty pages, and page-pools and then my head explodes, and I remember back when Ram was Ram, and you just frilling ran out of it, and bought more :-)
Instead one programmer shoves 15 different types of things into it, has to manage all 15, then works hard to convince me its now "faster" :-) While the other programmer bypasses it and says , thats the only way its gonna work with these types of files.
You can always wait when making a board assembly to add ram later, . . . of some completly different brand now that doesnt match, because what you bought they dont even sell.
the tyan i had was a server type board. only board that had all the cpus and features of raid and busses and everything, before they started stuffing all that an more into all the good consumer boards. I still wonder about the 2 (seperate) cpu caches in 2 seperate cpus, vrses the "shared" caches with the multi core stuff.
My only experience with SuperUser was very negative (with overzealous moderators), I will likely not return, I can only imagine other users have had similar experiences.

If a user is the sort that needs something worse that a kick (which is a friendly way of saying "Get out! You can come back in, but I'd prefer it if you didn't"), just mod flag and we can apply suspension or warn or something. There's no big need for a mute feature
@TomWijsman there are 300 mods, with at least 150 who use chat, 30 in TL at any given time, and at least 5 watching chat. I think that shouldn't be much of a problem
A few years ago, a group of programmers have released a kernel patch for Windows 7 to allow the usage of more than 4 GB of RAM under Windows 7. Recently, due to some virus scanners detecting the patch as a false positive, the download was removed from the website. Fortunately, I have saved a cop...
This is a bit of a dumb question, but how do I install the newest stable of dovecot on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server? I'm still a bit new to ubuntu and linux in general.
The newest stable is v2.2.1, but in the ubuntu repository it's only v2.0.19. The backports repository is only at v2.1.7-2.
I would ...
If I added ../stable-auto/dovecot-2.2 to my repo list, what happens if dovecot-3.0 comes out? Will I have to manually remove dovecot-2.2 and add the dovecot-3.0 repo to get updates? I'm guessing currently apt-get will pull any updates that are in v2.2.x? — Bak20 hours ago
Additionally, even if this worked you'd be missing items from the "all users" desktop. Perhaps some sort of union filesystem? I'm not sure if that's possible in Windows. Hmm... perhaps a Library. — Bobyesterday
Even cooler!
Well, I *really* should be leaving! I have CCNA classes every tuesday and thursday, besides that today is the introductory class my team is giving on basic security information and they haven't sent me the text material yet. +_+"
Thanks god I'll be only managing the lessons and answers on moodle.
I have been searching for an answer for this for a while and have not found anything.
