Get to know Linux: ps command

Get to know Linux: ps command: "Over the years there have been certain commands that have really helped me out of a bind. One of those commands is the ps command. The ps stands for process status and it tells you, as you would expect, the status of a process. This is a fast way to know if an application or command is running on a Linux system. Oh sure you could fire up a swell GUI for the same purpose, but that GUI does you no good if you are working on a headless server installation or working on a remote machine. In those instances the ps command is your best bet for helping to manage processes."

LCD-Plasma Display Technology Shoot-Out

LCD-Plasma Display Technology Shoot-Out - 3D Graphics, Audio & HDTV by ExtremeTech: "If you were shopping for a large-screen HDTV just a few years ago you would have seen mostly Rear Projection HDTVs, based primarily on DLP, LCD and LCoS technologies, plus a fair number of pricey direct-view Plasmas, and maybe a few very expensive direct-view LCDs. It's amazing how the TV industry has abruptly toggled into an entirely different lineup. Now you'll see mostly direct-view LCDs together with a small number of Plasmas. If you look in some back corner you may find a few attractively priced Rear Projection DLP HDTVs. CRT and LCoS technologies are now dead for HDTVs, and Rear Projection is 'a dead man walking.'"

Digg, Dug, Buried: How Linux news disappears - Computerworld Blogs: "Like it or lump it, the major reason that determines whether any given online story will get read or not is how much play it gets on news link sharing sites and social networks like Digg, reddit, and StumbleUpon. Unlike earlier news sharing sites like Slashdot, these sites have no central editorial control. Instead, the stories that get prominent play on these sites is determined entirely by readers. That sounds like democracy in its most basic form, but in practice what it really means that stories can be buried from sight by abusive users with an ax to grind."

Slowloris must wait for all the sockets to become available before it's successful at consuming them, so if it's a high traffic website, it may take a while for the site to free up it's sockets."

The different ways to execute a Linux application

The different ways to execute a Linux application: "I remember, way back, when I first started using Linux either was either in full-on command line only Linux or I was using Fvwm95. Executing commands in command line meant I had to know the name of the command. And when I was in the Fvwm95 desktop, if there wasn’t a menu entry for an application the only other way I could start up an application was to open up the command line and hope I could find the exact command to run. Typically this meant scrolling through the contents of /usr/bin with the command ls -l | less. And in today’s Linux (or at least in my main machine) there are approximately 2004 commands within /usr/bin. That could mean a lot of searching."

Testing your DTD XML Schema Validation

Testing your DTD XML Schema Validation: "A Document Type Definition (DTD) document is used to define the legal building blocks of an XML document. It denotes the document structure with a list of legal elements and attributes. DTDs are often used to facilitate agreement on formats for data interchange between independent organizations or people. Thus, your applications can use a standard DTD to verify that the data you receive from the outside world is valid or to verify your own data, before sending it out to partners. Whatever your reason for using a DTD, it's important to thoroughly test it, like any part of a business process, whether automated or not. A key ingredient of successful testing is the separation of the component that you are testing from the rest of the process or application. With that in mind, this article explains how to perform your DTD testing outside of the application that runs it."
