A window to my world ...

A lovely read .. The entire article is at http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2005/june15/jobs-061505.html Some excerpts from the talk "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." "No one wants to die.

In a system with multiple interfaces when u come across the irritating problem that packets are going out from one interface and coming in from another ,the most intuitive thing that u would do is check the routes,check the cabling. Well,after spending some time doing all this,a friend suggested the universal MS panacea .. -- Restart ..So went ahead ..disabled and enabled the network interfaces and it worked magically ...felt good that it did but it defies logic..anyways ... Thats the way i've wasted quite some part of the day and this time will not be accountable in the "productive" hours to be spent on the project ..Bad

I was just looking at SMB2.0 ,Microsoft's own SMB protocol. There are significant changes in the protocol : the most popular features being 1. Support for sending multiple SMB commands within the same packet. This reduces the number of packets sent between an SMB client and server, a common complaint against SMB 1.0. 2. Support for much larger buffer sizes compared to SMB 1.0. 3. Increases the restrictive constants within the protocol design to allow for scalability. Examples include an increase in the number of concurrent open file handles on the server and the number of file shares that a server can have. 4. Support for durable handles that can withstand short interruptions in network availability. 5. Support for symbolic links. 6. Stronger end-to-end data integrity protection, using the SHA256 hash algorithm. 7. Improved throughput across networks that have disparate characteristics. 8. Higher scalability of the number of files that a client may open simultaneously, as well as t
