On my Windows 8 system, one of my external hard drives got 100% full. Now I can't delete anything - it says that the destination does not exist. Perhaps it is talking about the recycle bin. I've tried moving some files to another disc, but it says the same thing. I went to the command line prompt and tried to delete there, but it didn't actually delete. Is there a way to delete some files in a situation like this? Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 03:24, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
For some reason, Google is indexing some content of Wikisource as Wikipedia content, see this. I have faced it before too. Any idea? -- Tito Dutta ( talk) 20:56, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi! In the article deterministic algorithm we say, that threads can cause race conditions, which is a non-deterministic behavior. Or is it a misunderstanding? I'm no native speaker... :-) I have a liltle problem with that claim and in de:WP they couldnt solve my problem: I cannot believe, that a bunch of concurrent, deterministic algorithms transform into a non-deterministic algorithm (in the sense of the formal definition given in the article). E. g.: In a deterministic computing machine M the concurrent algorithms A1 and A2 each load data object O to register X, increment X, write X to O and halt; in my understanding this cannot ever produce more than one sequence of states (e. g. M starts up with 2 identical cores, which each use the same clock and memory without any caching or locking, so that they will behave as if there was only one core, if there wasnt the extra boredom+heat - esp. after the halt instruction). But nobody wants to believe me... *sob* :-) Could somebody explain me, where my example becomes non-deterministic? Is it possibly a homonym thing? Thx. Bye. -- Homer Landskirty ( talk) 21:00, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
