Explanation of the O(1) scheduler in Linux 2.6 (Dec 26 2003 17:59 GMT) - One of the recent improvements to Linux I've been most interested in has been the O(1) scheduler. Via Slashdot, Ars Technica has an explanation of the O(1) scheduler. Of course, they don't listen to Nielsen and the rest of us and have no permalinks for this article. Judging by their previous URLs, however, the permanent home should be: http: |

Good Thing IV (Dec 26 2003 17:58 GMT) - Oh, and I don't think LA has to worry about terrorism from flights originating in Paris. Planes are not as effective as weapon without the kerosine. If indeed someone was trying something, I suppose London might have been the target. |

Pan-tastic (Dec 26 2003 17:55 GMT) - By the way, saw the new big budget Peter Pan last night. Utterly gorgeous and impressively faithful to the spirit of the book, even while rearranging things just enough that my recent reading of the original still left me wondering what would happen next.I highly recommend seeing it, though if you have no small children, you might wish to go to an evening showing (as we did). |

Santa Teresa & Donkey... (Dec 26 2003 17:53 GMT) - Ein paar Fakten zu Santa Teresa. Liegt am suedlichsten Zipfel der Peninsula de Nicoya an der Westkueste Costa Ricas. Sehr schwer zu erreichen. Niemand weiss wo es beginnt oder wo es aufhoert, wahrscheinlich weil es so klein ist. Ein paar Haeuser, ein paar Sodas, ein paar Cabinas. |

Kerry's call for energy independence (Dec 26 2003 17:53 GMT) - Kerry's Call for Energy Independence -- i never blog on political issues but this one struck me as just odd. Why all the hoopla over oil? What about electronics independence, or timber, or food, or any other good we happen to import? And do we think more government involvement in the energy market will make it more efficient? And do the numbers even work out, could we realistically and economically ever be energy independent? |

Australia Looking To Outlaw Spyware (Dec 26 2003 17:53 GMT) - Over in Australia, they've realized that as they try to slow down the spam tide, the worst spam scammers have moved from spam on to spyware. Thus, they're now talking about outlawing spyware - at which point the scammers will move on to something else. While I do think something needs to be done about spyware, I wonder how they're going to define spyware. Whenever politicians start outlawing technologies, there's a big risk that they'll do such a bad job of defining the software, that plenty of legitimate applications get banned as well. In the case of spyware, I guess the focus should be on applications that are installed without the computer owner's clear consent (which means not sneaking approval into an end user license agreement either). |
