0. Go down to the beach (in your flip-flops or not).
1. Find a short pier.
2. Take a long walk.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

This really shouldn't have made me laugh as much as it did!

Take a long walk with a short Pierre? I'm not sure I'd encourage that.

Rubber sandals?

Only one logical conclusion: a six-hour art video on the steps to foot fetishism and other deviant behavior.
Nailed it!

I just had a call from a customer who needs a few things done quickly and it's going to be me who will have to do them. My apologies, but I will not have the time to think up something for the CCC and I don't want to grab the first thing I find with Google. With my luck it would probably be a L(eslie)CCC.
And tonight, when everything is over, I'm going to do the same as William Shatner and (in elongation) Captain Kirk do on this date: Eat some birthday cake.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

That's OK.
Just make the documentation for your changes as cryptic as you can, and we'll mark it as a win.

Thanks. As if that thing was not cryptic enough already.

Hi,
I could do with some help in understanding how the different kernels know what CPU they are talking to etc. if i have a windows or Linux disk,i can install them on different computers with different CPU types etc. how do they know what they are talking to ? do they have a place in memory where all the different CPU drivers live and it runs through trying them until it work ?!
I could do with an explanation which carries on from where the bios has finished running its POST test and now loads the OS?? this is where things get fuzzy for me
Thank you for your help
|

The problem is that you are asking for a few books worth of explanation...
In nutshell - The Lounge is not for such...
In more details - OS has a hardware specific core and other parts (mostly in C) are compiled to fit the CPU architecture, so when you install the same OS on different platforms, you are actually installing different binaries...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

hey,
hey i understand, just looking for some pointers in right direction
so are you saying the OS is read from the disk and compiled there and then to work with that specific architecture? that kinda makes sense
thank you
|
|
|
|
|
No, the OS source is compiled and linked according to its target system. The final binaries will then be written to an installation disk. But that installation disk will not load if you try it on the wrong hardware.
|
|
|
|
|
No! OS does not compile nothing. All is there pre-compiled and installed for the specific platform...
See here: Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak) Netboot[^]
Also all packages are pre-installed for different platforms and you have to install the right one from the repository (if you install via the OS, it will set the platform to the same as its own): Ubuntu – Details of package 0install in yakkety[^]
