The Rules
1) First person in the thread to reply with the correct answer to the current question gets to ask the next question.
2) The questions MUST be technical in nature with reguards to the wonderful world of computers
3) You can use ANYTHING on the web as a resource including, but not limited to, search engines and your favorite tech sites and your own knowledge and experience.
4) BUT NOTHING ELSE. No books that you might have, no asking the guy next to you or friends on IM or something.

Ready?
Set?
Go!

What does the term "DOCSIS" stand for in reguards to cable modems and the like?
Bonus points (yeah right) to whoever can tell me what the difference between a DOCSIS and a NON-DOCSIS modem (looking for two main points)

[Jhill]

A subgraph that is a tree and that spans (reaches
out to ) all vertices of the original graph is called a spanning tree

Okay, for a free bump and just cuz I'm itchin' to post it, here's the difference

DOCSIS
All have IP Addresses
All require configuration files

NON-DOCSIS
-do not store IP addresses
-do not require config files (IIRC)

 

[Jhill]

I should have said the config files I knew that one... I wouldn't have said the Address storage though

Do I get to ask a question now?

 

[Jhill]

Yes you do.

What is a unix command (in one line) that will open /etc/httpd/logs/error_log, search through it for any line containing the text "File does not exist:", and save each of these lines in a new file "missing_files"?

And the room falls silent.


I know it uses the command grep, but after that I have no idea.

 

[hoihtah]

i hope people don't ask for any more coding questions.

imagine having to write stuff in fortran or cobol...

hmm.

 

[notfred]

Here's one solution:

grep "File does not exist:" /etc/httpd/logs/error_log > missing_files

Looks simple like that, doesn't it?

New question: Can you determine what my sig actually does and post your answer?

Ok, just kidding, let's try this: different versions of the pentium 3 chip came w/ 2 different amounts of L2 cache, what were those amounts, and what speeds did they run at?

(is that one better?)

 

[Francodman]

Wasn't it 512kb @ half processor speed and 256kb @ full processor speed?

 

[trmiv]

There was one with 512 KB of cache running at half clock speed, and another with 256KB running at full clock speed.

I was close.... i was going to say

vi /etc/httpd/logs/error_log | grep "File does not exist:"

but that probably wouldn't work would it?

and for god sakes, don't act like a unix junkie either

 

[ElFenix]

bah, the actual answer is
512 at half speed
256 at full speed
512 at full speed
