...what's happening but no mention of how we can rest assured that all will be well.... As I ponder it, I recognise that most of our systems are constantly calculating date/time values based upon the epoch - the number of seconds since a particular date/time, all these calculations need to be cognisant of these leap seconds, so its not just the ntp daemon, although that will be most immediately impacted, the effects of this need to be enshrined in code algorithms forever (well a very long time). > Akemi > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS...

The overall time calculations weren't really the issue last time around. The prob...

...curity issue. The vulnerability seems limited to determining the uptime of the target host. The question therefore arises as to whether or not there is any way to reset the tcp timestamp present value to zero or some randomly determined value. If not then what are the technical impediments? I am cognisant of the role of tcp timestamps in handling serial number rollovers. However, since the timestamp itself also must rollover, given sufficient uptime (~288 days I believe I read), what prevents one from manually forcing that event? Is there such a means provided in CentOS6? -- *** e-Mail...

Hello, I fear its a stupid question,..but here it is: If I do this simple calculation with the R console, I surprisingly do not get a zero.

...nterest but from a sensible appreciation of the limits to the speed at which people can adapt to change. As is noted elsewhere, change is inevitable. But there are many kinds of change. For instance, there is the change wrought by sudden and dramatic increases in productivity. How many here are cognisant of the fact that the O2 steel making process introduced in the 1950s lowered the labour content of a Tonne of steel by three orders of magnitude? Without that single change much of what we invisibly accept as part of the urban landscape today would not exist. Without that change it is likely that...

...the USRP by Mark Ettus. This system offers superior performance and is one of the first such systems available outside of the United States. The available position is for someone to take advantage of this platform and help advance a research programme in the broad area of reconfigurable radio being cognisant of the technical challenges arising from the physical layer technologies. The ideal candidate should be passionate about the area of software defined radio and to have demonstrated a proactive and creative approach to their work. It will also be important for the person to be comfortable working w...
