One of our STEM interns recently observed that there are inexpensive clocks that sync via radio to standard time services.? This begged a question about why every computer would not have a radio module to receive time.? Our senior staff did not have a good answer or if time from such a radio module would be supported by the operating system. When I was a student, such questions would have earned

Warren, one slight correction on an other wise nicely written bit of info: The time transmitted from WWV is not Mountain Time. Even though the WWV transmitter farm is located in the Mountain time zone, the signals are transmitted as "Coordinated Universal time", UTC, or 'Zulu' time. Here, you can listen to a recording made at the transmitter site for the 5Mhz signal:

There are two major types: 1. WWVB and its equivalents in other countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWVB 2. GPS clocks. WWVB has several problems: a. It?s

A few years ago, one of our interns was curious about system time keeping features in computer systems.? This intern was also the proud owner of an inexpensive Radio-Controlled Clock. The intern wondered why computer motherboards were not just equipped with a chip like the ones in the RCC so that their system time would always be correct. I posted a question about this on the CentOS email list

In case more of you come across my request from this morning, I've already gotten several great tips, which I summarize here since one or two of these did not come across R-help as well. A team of fellow political scientists is on this problem like "white-on-rice"! Brandt, Patrick, John T. Williams Benjamin O. Fordham, and Brian Pollins. 2000. "Dynamic Modeling for Persistent

This message was also sent to the MEDSTATS mailing list, so here is the reply I posted to that: Philippe, The machinery to use is to split follow-up time so finely that you can safely assume that rates are constant in each interval, and then just stuff it all into a Poisson model. This allows you to use any kind of time-dependent variables as well as accommodating competing risks. In the Epi

My congratulations to Chris as well! For those who don't follow the ACM world much, SIGPLAN is the primary research organization for PL and Compilers, and I expect this award to become one of the most prestigious awards in the field. It's quite a coup for Chris and for LLVM to have won it, and moreover to win it in the first year of the award. And it's remarkable that it has

A little bird whispers to me: Don't expect this particular trick to be un-addressed by various legislatures forever. That window is closing, and the bottom of the window looks very much like a guillotine blade - don't have your head in the wrong place. In any case, as has been discussed on -users before (which is where this thread should go, and thus where I'm relegating it)

My thanks to all that responded to my posting about our virtual machine CentOS 6 system start-up issue.? I found the alternative boot options to be the most helpful.? Interrupting the boot-up process with Alt-d or Escape allowed me to see what appears to be a quite normal string of start, install and mount activity. However, this process ends with the system hanging at the point below: Starting

Group, I'm having trouble convincing rsync to read and apply ACLs to files as root or otherwise. Googling, reading the source and docs have not helped so far. I always seem to get the error message sys_acl_get_tag_type(): Unsupported attribute value (124). Our rsync version is fairly recent, I'm using a jfs2 filesystem, and I'm using a very simple test case (see

We have been fortunate to hang onto one of our summer interns for part time work on weekends during the current school year. One of the intern's jobs is to load documents and data which are then processed.? The documents are .txt, .docx, and .pdf files. The data files are raw sensor outputs usually captured using ADCs mostly with eight bit precision.? All files are loaded or moved from one

Once again, my thanks to all that responded to my posting about our virtual machine CentOS 6 system start-up issue.? Addressing sendmail was the key to the start-up issue. While operating at Run Level 1, chkconfig sendmail off was commanded followed by the reboot command.? This brought up the system with the complete and operational GUI interface. The maillog had several entries from the past
