My understanding is that a lot of the weirdness is that there may be no such thing as a photon, that is, what we call a photon is the em field interacting with matter(electrons really), in transit there is no such thing as a "single ph

no, but b in bpf stands for Berkeley, so the interface originated from bsd. bpf is a virtual machine to process network packets in kernel space. So it is sort of like the low level assembly language of network processing. It is entirely pos

Iptables suffers from the common "it's a command line program so we are going to use getopt to parse it" I find the getopt style... tolerable at best for short commands. But for long expressions in a dsl(like find or iptables

What I like about the linux desktop is that it does not have to be this super heavy "and the kitchen sink" environment. There is a lot of freedom to be found here. Some would say almost too much. For example, I am a sys-admin, not
