If the former, it could create problems for those running experiments; if the latter, does anyone know how it is done ? The last leap second was 1998/9 , According to the RFC there has always been a mechanism, but it was not originally automatic. In RFC958, http://rfc.net/rfc958.html, there is this reference 5.4. Leap Seconds A standard mechanism to effect leap-second correction is not a part of this specification. It is expected that the Leap Indicator bits would be set by hand in the primary reference clocks, then trickle down to all other clocks in the network, which would execute the correction at the specified time and reset the bits. The newer NTP standard is now RFC1305, http://rfc.net/rfc1305.html. From my brief look it seems that the leap seconds are listed in a file. The server then sets the leap indicator when needed. before NTP was widely used. Not sure about that, but even the later standard is now 13 years old. The original is 7 years older than that. I'd be surprised if a lot of permanently connected sites, eg Universities, haven't been using it for a long time now.

[gentoo-user] kernel audio config issue
Hello, I have been trying get the right combination of kernel modules selected for building a kernel that allows me to select the output and input hardware via kmix. The machine laptop has an onboard frame grabber: lspci: 02:04.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) Kmix shows these options for Current Mixer Intel 82801CA-ICH3 Intel 82801CA-ICH3 Modem With these selections for Sound drivers in the 2.6.14.gentoo.r4 kernel are used: # Sound CONFIG_SOUND=y # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y CONFIG_SND_PCM=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY=y CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK=y CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_MEMORY=y CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_DETECT=y # ISA devices CONFIG_SND_AC97_ CONFIG_SND_AC97_BUS=y # PCI devices CONFIG_SND_BT87X=y CONFIG_SND_BT87X_OVERCLOCK=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0M=y CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=y # Open Sound System CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME=y CONFIG_SOUND_BT878=y However with a '2.6.12-gentoo-r10' kernel I Kmix shows the correct choice between the intel device and the BT878 device options for Current Mixer. Here are the settings for the 2.6.12-gentoo-r10 kernel which correctly shows the bt878 and the intel hardware: # Sound CONFIG_SOUND=y # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_TIMER=y CONFIG_SND_PCM=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER=y # CONFIG_SND_SEQ_DUMMY is not set CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL=y CONFIG_SND_MIXER_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_PCM_OSS=y CONFIG_SND_SEQUENCER_OSS=y # CONFIG_SND_VERBOSE_PRINTK is not set # CONFIG_SND_DEBUG is not set # PCI devices CONFIG_SND_AC97_CODEC=y CONFIG_SND_BT87X=y CONFIG_SND_BT87X_OVERCLOCK=y CONFIG_SND_INTEL8X0=y # Open Sound System CONFIG_SOUND_PRIME=y CONFIG_SOUND_BT878=y The obvious differences in the /usr/src/linux/.config files for the 2.6.14-r4 and the 1.6.12.r10 have been modified for every conceivable combination, including exactly identical, yet I cannot get the Current mixer options in 2.6.14 to make those of 2.6.12 This issue is on the same laptop, not different laptops and all other configs are the same, so it must be in how the kernel is configured. I even directly editing the /usr/src/linux/.config file directly so as to not make a mistake via make menuconfig. After making modifications to the /usr/src/linux/.config file I run these commands (from /usr/src/linux): make make modules_install cp .config /boot/config-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.14-gentoo-r4 reboot and test Thoughts and ideas are most appreciated.

My (limited) experiences with native dutch people is that their spoken english is such that the best way to detect that they are dutch and not american is to notice the complete absence of grammatical errors. That may be so, but only most likely for 1) the young (who are taught English in school as a requirement); 2) those who have a great deal of contact with the English-speaking, so have the opportunity to practice; and/or 3) live in or near Amsterdam (which is just another way of saying #2). This excludes vast numbers of citizens and aliens, including my (future) mother-in-law, who just got her first computer last month. She spoke English fairly regularly a couple of decades ago, when she regularly hosted visiting Americans, but it has long since fallen into disuse-- and she would not have her desktop in English in any case. My downstairs neighbor is young enough to have learned English in school, but since he didn't have any English-speaking companions (except those in school with him), it fell into disuse (not unlike my French), and he cannot be said to speak/understand English. Ultimately, native Dutch speakers in their own country, where Dutch is the official language, can really only be expected to speak Dutch, and certainly as consumers have every right to expect any service personnel to be able to perform their service-related duties in that language. Would you find it satisfactory to call... Dell, or CompUSA ... and have the tech support personnel help you in half English, half Puerto Rican Spanish-- or all Spanish, even though you did not choose a language to proceed in when calling-- just because a percentage of the population of New York City speaks Spanish? The Dutch speak Dutch in The Netherlands. They care about that enough to have required me to learn Dutch as a requirement to stay here. They clearly expect me (and other aliens) to conduct internal affairs in Dutch. Just because some (or even many, but not nearly as many as the propaganda claims) may have a second language (or even a third, as a lot of people speak or understand German as well, Germany being so close and German in some ways similar to Dutch, though not in as many ways as the propaganda claims) is no reason to expect that a Dutch employer would not expect an employee to speak fluent Dutch to its Dutch clients. But of course, the requirement to learn Dutch only covers normal language, not specialized technical language-- for that, you have to have more schooling (as a Russian woman I knew in the Dutch as a Second Language course had to-- she is a dentist, but had to have an extra... year, I think... of language school, just to cover Dutch dental language before she could hope to get work in the field). Since I can't afford more schooling at this time, I'm doing it the hard way. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to do the kind of nifty things the marketing folks like so much without some sort of client-side code. And it's virtually impossible to make the sort of application-like sites that swell the heart of web services aficionados. I have always recommended against any sort of client- side requirement (on those rare occasions when someone actually asks the sysadmin his opinion on design and security) but that's a battle marketing almost always wins. It's no coincidence that the os with the least security turned on by default has the largest market share.
