That sounds promising. I wonder what could cause such a forbidding bug and take all that time to fix?-J-Mac (July 22, 2008, 01:11 PM)
| We wanted to share a brief note about what we observed during yesterday's event and where we are at this stage. As a distributed system, the different components of Amazon S3 need to be aware of the state of each other. For example, this awareness makes it possible for the system to decide to which redundant physical storage server to route a request. In order to share this state information across the system, we use a gossip protocol. Yesterday, we experienced a problem related to gossiping our internal state information, leaving the system components unable to interact properly and causing customers' requests to Amazon S3 to fail. After exploring several alternatives, we determined that we had to temporarily take the service offline so that we could clear all gossipped state and restart gossip to rebuild the state. These are sophisticated systems and it generally takes a while to get to root cause in such a situation. We're working very hard to do this and will be providing more information here when we've fully investigated the incident. We also wanted to let you know that for this particular event, we'll be waiving our standard SLA process and applying the appropriate service credit to all affected customers for the July billing period. Customers will not need to send us an e-mail to request their credits, as these will be automatically applied. This transaction will be reflected in our customers' August billing statements. |
on a blog i read sometimes i saw one of these, i didn't know what it was then, anyway here is the link http://wickedanomie....my-dissertation.html - she is a phd student (and a teacher/lecturer) in the US somewhere and it is her dissertation, as the name of it suggests.-Grorgy (July 22, 2008, 06:40 AM)

Hello,
I'm searching for a software that creates a txt-file for every other file in the folder (incl. sub-folders). The name of the txt-file should be the same as the name of the original file(s). Any idea?-Child-in-silence (July 21, 2008, 04:09 PM)
To be honest, I actually like the feature mentioned in the article (it's Vista's shutdown button), except for the fact that it comes predifined to "sleep", which makes no sense. After changing it to "shutdown", I think it's a giant step better than XP's dialog.-jgpaiva (July 21, 2008, 08:24 AM)
| Joel was talking about how sleep and hibernate can be merged. The Mac does this nicely. There is only one choice, "Sleep." At least with laptops, it hibertates the machine (writes RAM to disk) but then actually sleeps. That way, in case the power goes away by the battery wearing down, you just wake up as if you had been hibernating all along. (You can test this by sleeping a Macbook and then removing the battery. I don't feel like unplugging my iMac to see if it works the same way.) And if you never run out of power, you get the advantage of a fast wake-up time. |
| Actually, that's not true. Mac's by default to the equivalent of Stand By in Windows, which is that it doesn't write the RAM to disk. If you take out the battery your data goes down the drain. However, if you put it to sleep, and it's sleeping drains the battery, it will go into a "Deep Sleep" that writes RAM to disk before the battery goes completely dead. When you wake it up it'll do a little progress bar and you're back. |

Thank you very much for taking the time to post this.
It's one of those programs I wrote that very few people use so it's always nice to hear it's useful for someone.-mouser (July 20, 2008, 01:28 PM)
(which I've never actually bothered with)| According to amazon: 9:06 AM PDT We are currently experiencing elevated error rates with S3. We are investigating. 9:27 AM PDT We're investigating an issue affecting requests. We'll continue to post updates here. 9:48 AM PDT Just wanted to provide an update that we are currently pursuing several paths of corrective action. 10:13 AM PDT We are continuing to pursue corrective action. 10:33 AM PDT A quick update that we believe this is an issue with the communication between several Amazon S3 internal components. We do not have an ETA at this time but will continue to keep you updated. |

I copied Lanux's code, saved as .ahk and then d/l autohotkey and converted it to exe. I then double clicked the exe and it puts an icon down in the tray by the clock.
But how do I set the options or where do I go to check them?-techidave (July 19, 2008, 03:07 PM)

is there a way to search by date only and see all the posts? if there is, I haven't found it yet.-techidave (July 19, 2008, 02:52 PM)
unless you're just looking at posts for one or two days or so[offtopic] I am pretty sure there's a topic here on DC with a few text editors similar to the one 40hz just posted, I just can't find the topic[/offtopic]

Well, 1 GB for 80 tabs is not exactly a conservative usage of memory (nor very normal). I say this because the other day I had around 200 tabs in Opera, and memory usage was around 450 MB (for the browser, not total usage)
