With all due respect to all contributors on the internet. It seems lot of BSD/unix notes and other documentation is scattered all over the internet in hapzard way. which newcomers find thru google(1) and then try to use it. Most of the time "date and version etc." is not mentioned in the document or the URL - which makes it difficult to realize (to a newcomer) whether the info is still applicable/valid? and should be used?
I guess all such contributors need to mention the date_of_publication and software_version_used on the top of their submission. we need to learn from newspaper websites who 'arrange' their stories chronologically, and a look at the url on these sites tell the date of the story! just making it a habit to add the "date and version" on top will make it easy to 'index the web', and will help the newcomer to understand and decide... I am sending it here as this can only be straightened out by some well known developers in the unix/linux/bsd community. thanks again to all the techis who have ever posted 'how-2s' on the internet! -BG (1)in that sense googles' text search engine is also not doing a proper job. so it leaves some room... ________________________________ ~~Kalyan-mastu~~ > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Alexey Suslikov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: misc@openbsd.org > Sent: Monday, November 26, 2007 4:37:18 AM > Subject: Paper about memory speed with multi-core > CPUs > > > Johan Mson Lindman wrote: > > > > http://people.redhat.com/drepper/cpumemory.pdf > > > > > > - Alexey. > > > > > > Is this paper from the same Drepper as is posting > in the URL below? > > > http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2000-08/msg00053.html > > Yes.
