  1. Re: I just got root access to my University faculty server, what do I do?

    Thanks guys. It was a tough call, but I've reported it to IT.

    Along the lines of "I tried to get to my home directory but it didn't work. Help!" rather than "I have root access on the server"

    I...
  2. I just got root access to my University faculty server, what do I do?

    I wasn't trying to, I did it by accident, and I don't want/need to cheat, I just want to survive this experience unscathed.

    I was just trying to access my account from home, but instead an error...

    It's just because there's a lot of traffic here. During the time you were away there were enough posts made to push your thread off the front page.

    Yes, if you have 64 bit hardware just use a 64 bit OS and avoid the extra page table lookups.

    [ubuntu] Re: Permissions for brand new HDD

    You'll find that you aren't the owner of the disk though, and so may not have permissions to everything you want.

    To fix that change "defaults" in the fstab entry to "defaults,user"

    Re: I will take this chip... AND EAT IT!!!

    Not so. You also get more registers, wider registers, and wider data paths, all of which can (and I stress the can; they are not always taken advantage of) be used to improve performance.

    ARM demonstrated a chip outperforming an Atom N270 last year, but the N270 was released in 2008, so it's not particularly exciting. :P
