Re: [Eug-lug] Fwd: Lane County SAO Brew Pub Reminder

There is still Dew, Doritios, and other snacks out in the garage as well. My door will still be open from 7pm 'til whenever. I never make it to SAO since I've got a shop to run. Have to do my best just to be home by 6:30! So, the door is open. Turn away no one I will. --- Neil Parker <[EMAIL PRO

I absolutly agree with you about what is being called "real time" being too late (unless it is done on the network, where interruption for allow/deny choices becomes more difficult). General purpose OS's are not built for RTC needs, so I simply don't think that these computing defintions apply to

Ben, I agree with your points. This is my problem with the word real time scanning. In computing real time operations are defined as this. "In computer science, real-time computing (RTC) is the study of hardware and software systems which are subject to a "real-time constraint" —ie. operationa

Vista and XP can coexist peacefully on one drive. I've not tried linux and Vista on one drive. As cheap as hard drives are these days I would rather put that *other* OS on its own drive. It matters not what the OS decides to do to the MBR then. Of course you can't do that so easily on a laptop. FWI
