A zombie is a process that has executed but has not been fully removed from memory. It is no longer executing but it is still taking up space in memory. This 'process' cannot be killed with a kill command ewither. It just sits in memory with no intentions and cannot be communicated with.

The parent process is the originating process that allows for the creation of other processes called child processes. Each child has only one parent process, but each parent can have many children. Also, as in real life a child may not touch a parents privates.

Identification and definition of the chosen keyword.

If you want to demonstrate something on the command-line, you can do so as follows:

A thread is the smallest unit of processing allowable by the operating system. Multiple threads in a single process can share resources.

The way multithreading works is a single thread is put on hold while the processor switches over to another thread. This rapid switching between processes results in better performance.

Pipes allow the output of one command on the cmmand line to be the input to another command on the command line. For example: The 'ps aux' command by itself lists all the processes in the system alone with the user using that process. The 'grep' command (followed by select text after) displays all the lines with the text you include. The pipe command allows you to put these two commands together to list all of the processes with the select text after (usually being someones user name as you would be looking for all the processes one user is using.)

lab46:~$ ps aux | grep 'jhammo13'

TCP and UTP are the two main components of the internet protocol suite. They both transfer bytes of data from one computer to another but they do so in different ways. TCP sends data at a slower speed but double checks with the other computer to make sure that it is getting the data properly. UDP however does not double check, it just sends the data faster and if some of the data is received out of order or if it is lost on the way it does not resend that data.

Servers and sockets are the endpoints for data for when it reaches its destination across the internet.

Coroutines allow functions within a program to be paused and reexecuted at different points during the entire programs execution.

A program is a sequence of code and instruction that tell a computer what to do. A process is any individual part of the program that is being executed and taking up[ space in memory.

File locking blocks other users or processes from accessing a file while it is in use by another user or process. This is the same concept as when you edit a wiki and no other user can log in and edit the wiki you're currently accessing.

A Variable that will do wonderous things. It provides information to control multiple processes by a common resource.

This is a set of rules for exchanging data between threads in multiple processes.

This is a method for processes to exchange information between executing processes within the same host of the Operating system

What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? Wether or not a Linux install on a ps2 will work or not.

Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment. http://kernelloader.sourceforge.net/tutorial/howtoinstalllinux.html ←— this is the website I got most of my information from.

Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment. I believe it will work.

State your rationale. The author of the above mentioned page had no problem doing it so I don't see why I couldn't do it with the same tools.

How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment? I am going to follow the instructions by the author and see how it turns out.

Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here. As far as performing the experiment I fell short as the discs I got to play the burnt linux image did not work as I had thought they would.

Based on the data collected:

• was your hypothesis correct? Not available.
• was your hypothesis not applicable? Yes, it was not applicable.
• is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis) Not available
• what shortcomings might there be in your experiment? The main shortcoming was that I did not have the proper discs to play the burnt disc.
• what shortcomings might there be in your data? Not available

What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made. Always make sure you have the right tools for the job. If not you will most certainly crash and burn. I am however going to keep working on this project as I have wanted to make this happen for some time now.

What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? (An old experiment but could be useful to the right reader) Is my leptop crashing due to a problem with the memory or a problem with the memory slots.

Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment. After googling the beep code that the laptop was creating the Dell tech page claimed it to be a memory error. (This is where I began when I first had the problem)

Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment. No idea really as it could be either or.. but let's hope a memory issue and not the slot because it is an easier fix. State your rationale. No real rationale, just hope that it is something simple.

How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment? There are 2 memory slots and 2 sticks of memory. I will (did) remove one stick and test it in either slot and then switch the sticks and test each slot.

Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here. For data purposes there will be slots 1 and 2 and there will be memory sticks A and B. With memory stick A in slot 1 it would no boot. With memory stick A in slot 2 it booted. With memory stick B in slot 1 it would not boot. with memory stick B in slot 2 it booted fine.

Based on the data collected:

• was your hypothesis correct? No
• was your hypothesis not applicable? No
• is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis)No, there is certainly a problem with the memory slot.
• what shortcomings might there be in your experiment? There aren't really any shortcomings, it seems pretty concrete that a memory slot is bad.
• what shortcomings might there be in your data? Same as before there were only 4 combinations I could possibly test for this data and I tried all 4 of these combinations.

What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made. I can conclude that there is certainly a problem with memory slot 1. Both sticks of memory worked in slot 2 but did not work in slot 1. Another conclusion, don't buy a Dell….

What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? Do battery's (specifically laptop) develop a memory if not properly taken care of.

Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment. From most of what I read this true, if a battery is not properly trained when the unit is new and is not fully drained approximately once a month then it will develop a 'memory' and will die premature.

Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment. I believe that the battery will develop a memory.

State your rationale. I found much documentation on the internets of this being a very real deal.

How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment? I have my laptop that I drained when I got it brand new and every month I let the battery fully drain. My mother recently got a laptop and knows nothing of this so she has never let it drain. Her laptop has not been used as much as mine but the battery has never been drained either. So for the experiment I will take my laptop (steal her laptop) and see how long each one takes to drain. Then I will compare these numbers to the advertized numbers for them.

Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here. My laptop drained on minimum performance (battery saver mode) in 6 hours 45 minutes. It advertizes 7.5 hours which is fairly close. The other laptop (Toshiba) fell 2 full hours short of its advertized length and this laptop is much newer than mine.

Based on the data collected:

• was your hypothesis correct? Yes
• was your hypothesis not applicable? No
• is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis) Yes, even though proper care is taken of my battery it still fell somewhat short of the advertized battery length.
• what shortcomings might there be in your experiment? The laptops are different brands and were purchased at different times.
• what shortcomings might there be in your data? The data could be off because I am not 100% certain the other laptop has enver drained fully… but I've never seen it off of the charger so I believe it's a fair assumption.

What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made. Battery's most certainly develop a memory if the proper care has not been taken of them. Drain your battery regularly once a month.

These are security measures placed on files in order to limit the access of them to one single user or program at a time.

This is the memory that is dedicated or being occupied to the user of the computer.

The kernel is what controls the physical components of the computer and the space is the memory that is occupied by the kernel.

File access is the means of the OS in how it deals with open, read, write, lseek and close.

File is an abstract way to show how a file is being accessed.

The memory that is temporarily saved by the user to ensure memory for their resources.

A request from a program to the Kernel of the OS. Requests may include hardware services or creating and accessing new processes.

Regular file: The normal files that the user commonly creates and edits. Also the files that are found using the 'ls -a' command with no other special characters.

Directory: A list of files in a file.

Symbolic Link: A representation of another file that gives a text based directory listing as to where the file is.

Named Pipe: Connect the output of one process to the input of another.

Socket: A file that lets two processes communicate.

Device File: The method of how hardware devices on the system are handled. They are also treated as a form of file called a device file.

Bit masks allow a set of bits to be either turned on or off using the AND operator.

This is a permissions setting on an executable. It allows a user or set of users to temporarily have admin privileges while not normally having these privileges.

AN inode itself stores all the information about a file except its name and data. A data block is a set of inodes placed together.

A directory is a virtual folder. A folder may contain more folders or data. This is the object oriented way in which files are virtually stored.

Links are what place the file system of a computer together. If you have a file inside of a folder then that folder links to that file. There are also symbolic links also known as shortcuts. They are files that reference another file that executes.

Also planning an install of Linux on a PS2. If all goes well and by some streak of luck I can ge t a hold of many PS2s then there could be an army… hmmmm…

Success will be measured by the usableness (←– thats a real word) of the PS2 as a Linux OS. If it won't install and crashes and burns then it was a failure.

What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? What effect will installing a windows partition after installing a linux partition will have? I wonder this because when I did this same install a few years back i could not access the linux partition.

Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment. http://ultimateedition.info/ This is the open source version of linux that I used for the experiment. I prefer this version that is based on Ubuntu as it comes with lots of eye candy. And we all love eye candy :)

Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment. I believe it will be the same as before. (but fingers crossed)

State your rationale.

How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment? I began by backing up the contents of my hdd (usually a good way to start.) Then I'm just going ahead and doing both of the installs beginning with the linux install and continuing to a windows install.

Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here. Basically what is happening is the Windows install is covering up the linux partition and masking it. As to why it is doing this I am not sure but it is surely pissing me off. Hopefully more thorough research later will give a solution.

Based on the data collected:

• was your hypothesis correct? Yes
• was your hypothesis not applicable? No
• is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis) There is more going on in the background but I am not exactly sure what it is.
• what shortcomings might there be in your experiment? Maybe it only happens on this computer.
• what shortcomings might there be in your data? Testing with more than one computer would give better results.

What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made. I can ascertain that Windows is greedy and wants to take over any installations on your system that are not also windows.

What is the question you'd like to pose for experimentation? What is wrong with the alienFX colors on my laptop? To clarify my laptop has built in LED lighting and recently it stopped working. It is frozen on one color setting (the one I had it set to before it stopped working) and will not budge from that. Also I can not disable the lights so they are always on.

Collect information and resources (such as URLs of web resources), and comment on knowledge obtained that you think will provide useful background information to aid in performing the experiment. The information I got from the Dell help page (as you can imagine) was not useful whatsoever. It basically told me to call their tech support and they'd send someone. as far as forums of people with the same problems it reads that removing the battery and hitting the power button to doa hard reset may fix the problem.

Based on what you've read with respect to your original posed question, what do you think will be the result of your experiment (ie an educated guess based on the facts known). This is done before actually performing the experiment. I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else and believe that doing the hard reset will fix the LED lighting.

State your rationale. I believe this will work because it doesn't seem that there could be another problem. If it was a hardware problem then you would think that the lights wouldn't turn on at all.

How are you going to test your hypothesis? What is the structure of your experiment? I'm going to simply do what everyone else was saying to do and take the battery out and then hold in the power button for a few seconds.

Perform your experiment, and collect/document the results here. After doing this the lights flashed on reboot and turned back on but they were still the same color as they were set to before the experiment. After going in to the settings and trying to change them they still stayed on the same colors.

Based on the data collected:

• was your hypothesis correct? No
• was your hypothesis not applicable? No
• is there more going on than you originally thought? (shortcomings in hypothesis) There is certainly a lot more going on because if a hard reset will not work and the lights still turn on then I don't know what could possibly be causing this to happen.
• what shortcomings might there be in your experiment? I don't believe there are shortcomings in exactly what I did but there could be shortcomings in that I didn't try enough to get the lights to work. In example maybe reinstalling the actual program that allows you to change the lights would do the trick.
• what shortcomings might there be in your data? Once again I don't believe there are shortcomings in the data. I did the experiment and the lights did not change colors.

What can you ascertain based on the experiment performed and data collected? Document your findings here; make a statement as to any discoveries you've made. Even though the lights are turning on there must be some kind of hardware issue on hand. As to what extent I'm not sure is the problem, but it does piss me off that I'm going to have to call Dell support and deal with them.

A device file is a driver that simply appears and operates as a regular file.

Race conditions are an actual flaw in the electrical processing where the output of the execution is based o something else. For instance the output could be dependent on the internal clock of the computer.

An atomic operation is one which appears to operate instantaneously and separate from all of the other processes at the time.

This is a method of computing where the computer receives pieces of a file and displays them before it receives the entire file. In such a case that the computer receives the data faster than it can display it then it must save the excess data in a buffer.

Bloclking is where in coding a line of code must be executed before the next line of code in a sequential order. Non-blocking allows a programmer to decide when a certain line of code is to be executed and is set up to be executed when lines of code after that line are executed.

This is the consistency of data from and to a source. It is commonly used for back up on external drives.

These are flags that are used in multi-tasking systems. They are set up as variables that can lock a resource until a process can can read and decide what to do with it next. A resource could be a printer, disk drive or even memory.

This is a form of input where other processes can continue before the transmission has completed.

This is memory that can be accessed by multiple programs at the same time.

This is a series of computer linked together in a network all working together to achieve a common goal.

This is the end point in a internet-protocol based network.

These are a continuation of a non-named pipe and are usually used in inter-process communication. It also depends on the system and does not close when the process closes like a regular pipe. It must be manually deleted when no longer needed.
