"The Echo Maker" novel by Richard Powers

The story

Richard Powers's novel, The Echo Maker (2006), tells the story of Mark Schluter, a young man of 27 who is nearly killed in an accident with his truck. He recovers but seems to be suffering from Capgras, a condition in which the patient believes that some of his loved ones have been replaced by doubles. Mark thinks his sister Karin has been replaced by someone who looks exactly like Karin, but he is certain she is only a robot or a stand-in. He calls her Kopy Karin and Karbon Karin. The evolution of the syndrome is far from positive. The condition seems to spread. Mark begins to believe it is not just Karin who has been replaced. His dog, his house, his old town and some of his best friends all seem to be replaced by stand ins.

Issue : INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel [SOLVED] !!

Issue : INIT: no more processes left in this runlevel

This is one of the issues i had for several months, i couldn't find any specific information about it and never had time to trace it in order to find a solution. But today i managed to fix it by reading many threads and articles and then tracing it from the beginning , since i'm not the only one with this problem i decided to share it.

I used CentOS 5.3 for this tutorial , but it might be still useful even if you're using a Debian based distribution.

As you might have already noticed most of my blog posts and tweets are related to Linux. Unfortunately not everyone knows about Linux so i guess it's time to introduce it.

CentOS/RHEL5 does not detect some onboard network cards +Videos

CentOS's kernel is a very old kernel comparing to many other distributions. The reason is stability but some times it gets annoying.

For example today i wanted to upgrade CentOS 5.2 server at work to 5.3. to make this process as trouble free as possible i cloned the server into another computer but once it booted , i noticed that it doesn't detect new computer's on board network card! and it was impossible to do the upgrade without Internet.
