The ABN Amro story gets more interesting. Here is a transcript: Here is what they responded: Dear Customer, This is with reference to your email dated April 23, 2008. At the outset we would like to thank you for the time taken and effort made by you in sharing your concerns with us. We wish to inform you that we have forwarded your concern to our customer service manager in Delhi, who shall be glad to discuss the same with you, post evaluating the same. Please quote reference number R283200804244076 in case any further clarification / assistance is required regarding this query. Here is what I had written in response to their email: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your unsatisfactory response. I would like to inform you that I am submitting ABN Amro's website to the Linux Hall Of Shame as you have deliberately prevented a large population of Linux users from accessing your site. I would also request you to forward me the contact details of your Corporate Communications Head since I would like to forward the listing of ABN Amro on the Hall of Shame to that person.

hi guys, Can anyone find something interesting ?

No kill.sh was running .No Wget process was running as wget-log showed saved at 8.15AM. question : why didn't pc go OFF. 4.Again I start : sh kill.sh ... PC went OFF. (of course it must be) 5.

[ilugd] Article: UFS Journalling On Desktop PCs
See http://store.itsyourftp.com/~sonic2000gr/freebsd/gjournal-desktop/article.html The author provides this amusing info 5.1. I am getting kernel panics during periods of high disk activity. How is this related to journaling? The journal probably fills up before it has a chance to get committed (flushed) to disk. Keep in mind the size of the journal depends on the usage load and not the size of the data provider. If your disk activity is high, you need a larger partition for the journal. Best A. Mani -- A.
