... Bad Astronomy . ... Keep Bad Astronomy close to your heart, and help make me filthy rich. ... The length of the shadow depends on the height of an object (like a mountain or a human) and how high up the Sun is. ... We can calculate the length of the shadow if we know the Sun's angle above the horizon and the object's height. ... The Earth spins 360 degrees in 24 hours, which means it spins 1 degree in 4 minutes; that in turn means the Sun moves 1 degree every 4 minutes in the sky. ...

... This relieves the rest of the computer from knowing how to use the drive, since the controllers for different types of disks can be made to use the same interface towards the rest of the computer. ... Usually the number of sectors is the same for all tracks, but some hard disks put more sectors in outer tracks (all sectors are of the same physical size, so more of them fit in the longer outer tracks). ... For example, a hard disk might have 8 heads, 2048 tracks, and 35 sectors per track . ...

... i've done some timings on cli()/sti() latency, on IP basis. Most parts of the kernel are OK, they have less than 100 usecs of max latency. There is one thing why device driver writers take care of cli()/sti() latencies, it's the serial interrupt. ... Some hard data: on a 100 MHz Neptun dual CPU system, hardware interrupt latency is 10+-1 usecs, typical cli()/sti() latencies are on the order of 10 usecs. Some code like the IDE driver has latencies up to 100 usecs, occasionally higher. ...
