The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing

Peter Deutsch

Essentially everyone, when they first build a distributed application, makes the following eight assumptions. All prove to be false in the long run and all cause big trouble and painful learning experiences.

1.	The network is reliable
2.	Latency is zero
3.	Bandwidth is infinite
4.	The network is secure
5.	Topology doesn’t change
6.	There is one administrator
7.	Transport cost is zero
8.	The network is homogeneous

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN (Song for Gaza)
(Composed by Michael Heart)
Copyright 2009

A blinding flash of white light
Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they’re dead or alive

They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike
Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who’s wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain
And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Wassup Spacewalkers,

The Spacewalk team is happy to announce the release of Spacewalk 0.4.

Please note that with this release, Spacewalk 0.2 will no longer be
available. If you are still using Spacewalk 0.2, please upgrade to
Spacewalk 0.4.

Features & Enhancements

 * integration with Cobbler and Koan:
  https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/

 * introduction of Organization Trusts and Channel sharing, known
  internally as Multi-Org II: The Sequel.

 * multi-arch enhancement to better work with multi-arch packages
  on 64-bit systems.

  https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/MultiArchEnhancements

 * a new set of APIs, including the following namespaces:

   channel.access.*
   channel.org.*
   package.*

  See https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/ApiAdditions for a
  complete list of APIs.

 * SELinux support added:
  https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/Features/SELinux

 * added the ability to search documentation, in Spacewalk we include
  a search index of the online docs.

 * updated the help page to include api docs and docs search.

 * more perl to java migrations

 * satellite-httpd was removed in favor of using the standard httpd

 * upgrades from 0.3 -> 0.4 available as well:
  https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/wiki/HowToUpgrade

Bugs fixed

* An outstanding 118! total bugs fixed since 0.3 -
 http://tinyurl.com/7oytud

Known issues

* in order to take full advantage of the multi-arch feature, you’ll need:
 - updated client packages
 - recreate the stored profiles

* Bad news is that Spacewalk running on Fedora is not yet available. The
 good news is that we have started building packages to work with
 Fedora 10.

* bz480233 – deleting stored profiles causes ISE

* bz479640 – do not conflict with specspo. Work around is to rpm -e specspo.

Community

*  A special thanks goes out to Colin Coe for his continued contributions
  to the apis. Also, thanks to Todd Sanders for his Telemetry contribution.

Mouse aneh

Nggak tau kenapa beberapa hari terakhir pointer mouse di laptop agak aneh, yang saya maksud dengan mouse adalah pointernya, baik dengan menggunakan mouse maupun touchpad dilaptop. Keanehan ini terutama dibrowser baik firefox maupun chrome (dua browser yang sering saya pakai). ketika saya letakkan diatas link, pointer tidak langsung berubah sehingga kita bisa meng-klik link tersebut tapi pointer itu tidak berubah sehingga teks link tetap seperti teks biasa sehingga tidak bisa di klik. saya sudah coba uninstall beberapa plugin firefox. ada yang pernah mengalami hal yang sama?
