And the source you found missing has been missing for a year. Your method erased the backup three weeks after the file disappeared from the disks. /BAH

Vice-chancellors heads should roll. Big Bertha Thing ME There is no test for ME, no diagnosis. It is just a process of elimination. So a doctor, who does not believe Is just as right as one who does. Where does this leave the hot and tired, Pole-axed, without a leg to stand on victim? The incidental pain of disbelief Is compounded by the length of the chain. Each link forged by an unshakeable lack. Cigarettes were once not linked to cancer. CJD was not linked to mad cows. Crack nicotine cigarettes not branded by makers. Pity the child taken into care for being ill. A taxi used less and less cannot be justified. Cancel a taxi because there are no medical grounds. Attendance at school is purely subjective, It depends on how the child feels getting up. A medical note can improve exam marks. DHSS guidelines believe in ME, at last! Complex numbers can solve all the roots of polynomials to N powers. Collapse numbers can count all the polka dots on any polygon exactly.

My beautiful laundrette only had two machines, so I asked my customers, if they would bring there own in. Now we have seven machines and it is very nice. Once we get the water pipes and electricity laid, it will be magnificent. For water read data and electricity read documentation.

The term "swap out" has a specific meaning in virtual memory systems. It means to write a page of the RAM onto the swap volume if it is dirty or to change its status if it is clean. You claim to know about VM but seem to not know the basics. >>- Complex issue of priority on swapping skipped here. >>- OS marks the outgoing page to be not usable >>- OS starts swap actions going >>- OS looks for a task that can run now >>- OS remembers some stuff about task priorities >>- OS switches to new context >>- Task B runs >>- Swap action completes >>- OS gets interrupt >>- OS marks the new page as ready to go >>- OS checks the task priority information >>- OS maybe switches tasks >>- Task A or B runs depending on what OS decided. >> >> >>This way, a lower priority task can do useful stuff while we wait for the >>pages to swap. > >Priorities are usually set based on hardware at the level you're >talking about. No, they aren't, at least in any reasonable system they aren't. The higher priority task still have the higher priority when they ar waiting for something. When that event happens, they gain control over the lower priority task. A lower priority task that is waiting on an event would not gain control. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
