... You can boot Linux either from a floppy or from the hard disk. ... When booting Linux from a floppy disk, the boot sector contains code that just reads the first few hundred blocks (depending on the actual kernel size, of course) to a predetermined place in memory. On a Linux boot floppy, there is no filesystem, the kernel is just stored in consecutive sectors, since this simplifies the boot process. ... For example, when I boot, I it looks like this: љ љ љ љ LILO boot: Loading linux. ...

... Credit: WMAP Science Team , NASA Explanation: The above sky map tells us the universe is 13.7 billion years old -- but how? At first look, one only sees the microwave glow of gas from our Milky Way Galaxy, coded red, and a spotty pattern of microwaves emitted from the early universe , coded in gray. The gray cosmic microwave background is light that used to bounce around randomly but came directly to us when the expanding universe became cool enough for nearly transparent atoms to form. ...

... Things are actually worse than just physical and virtual addresses. The aha1542 is a bus-master device, and [a patch posted to the linux-kernel list] makes the driver give the controller the physical address of the buffers, which is correct on x86, because all bus master devices see the physical memory mappings directly. ... CPU untranslated. This is the "physical" address, ie physical address 0 is what the CPU sees when it drives zeroes on the memory bus. CPU translated address. ...

... Your main research interests concern neutral hydrogen. ... That means that there must be enormous quantities of gas lying around, waiting for the chance to collapse under its own weight into lumps and form stars and galaxies. If we could actually observe this gas, as it moves around and assembles itself into lumps, we would be directly observing the process of galaxy formation. ... Optical astronomers seem to think that they can observe galaxy formation by taking optical images. ... In galaxies. ...

The Sun's corona . ... For instance, short "plumes" rising from the polar regions of the Sun look very much like field lines coming out of the end of a bar magnet, and they therefore suggest that the Sun, in addition to the intense fields of sunspots, also has a global magnetic field like the Earth's. Arches above the . Sun's surface . ... It is brightest near sunspots, whose arched field lines apparently hamper the outflow of solar wind which carries away energy and helps cool the corona. ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... MRAO Telescopes . AMI . ... This is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) telelescope with a difference, in that it is designed to survey the sky looking for galaxy clusters by means of the ?shadows? they cast against the CMB. This shadowing, the so-called SZ effect, is a remarkable phenomenon because it is independent of redshift, allowing AMI to find clusters which are so far away that their own emission would be too faint to detect ? ...
