Imperial War Museum: PICTURES - BANDWIDTH INTENSIVE


Recommended Posts

Yeap! Got a laptop. The problem though wasn't with the memory, I had capacity for >150 pics in the chip.

The problem was with the darn lighting condition and the camera having to use the flash 60 times which killed my battery. frown.gif

No worries though, I'll grab the charger this time. Takes <2h to recharge. We'll just have to hook it onto a socket on one of these bit Tiger tanks. wink.gif

I must say, Andreas is a very nefarious looking individual, indeed.

I suspect he's the sort that would be sent on covert operations behind

enemy lines; or, worse yet, that you might run into in a dark alley

whilst on such a mission and would hear something along the lines of,

"Papers?!", emanating from the shadows. wink.gif

Thanks for the great pictures. Keep them coming.

Nefarious looking, eh? Now may I ask what your business here is?

Können Sie sich ausweisen?

The whole bloody thread originally started by PeterNZer:

Ok folks, here's the pictures!

I'd like to fill a casualty report. This thread killed yesterday my test run that had been happily churning away for about 16500 CPU minutes. That's about 11 and half CPU days. In the real time it had been running since early September.

My Netscape went insane from downloading and rendering all those pictures and started to run amok, filling up the swap space in matter of seconds. The resulting trashing trashed something important and I couldn't kill the rogue process anymore, as even 'ps' command gave a segmentation fault. I had to reboot, so bye bye all test cases.

This was the second Linux crash that I've experienced in the past four years.

I'll just hope that this new test run will have a luckier fate than its predecessor had.
