Experimental rocket R-1A . To mature mass and operating characteristics of rocket R-1, its designers proposed to use an integral fuel tank and a warhead separated from the rocket at the ascent phase completion. In this case, only the ascent phase appeared to be rated for the launch vehicle and considerably more favorable regarding mechanical and thermal loads as compared to the atmospheric portion of the descent phase of the flight trajectory. ...

Below is a set of newsgroup posts made by an engineer from DEC in response to queries about how to modify DEC's Digital Unix OS for more heavily loaded web sites. ... Our experience (running such Web servers as altavista.digital.com and www.digital.com ) is that there is one important kernel tuning knob to adjust in order to get good performance on V3.2C. You need to patch the kernel global variable "somaxconn" (use dbx -k to do this) from its default value of 8 to something much larger. ...
