Rebirth of the Tech Madman

All kinds of forums in the original spatiotemporal Internet era can be traced back to the current bbs in terms of function and technology, and they can even form an independent front-end application package product, which is distributed to users of similar scales despite different purposes. , And most of the differentiated requirements can be solved in a centralized configuration file.

The pbbs that Zheru is still testing has reached such a point. Tang Huan also recommended this system to James Brady, the White House spokesperson who came to the Acupuncture Department of Baozang Hospital for physiotherapy.

Because in the assassination of Reagan a few months ago, James Brady was hit by a bullet in the head and eventually paralyzed, so although he still remains as the White House spokesperson, the actual work is done by deputy. To be done.

From a splendid presidential mouthpiece to a nominal display, James Brady’s psychological gap is not difficult to imagine.

Tang Huan, who has been in Silicon Valley recently, specially brought James Brady from San Francisco to the Philosopher R&D Center in Cupertino, and let him observe the operation of pbbs with his own eyes.

Limited by the current level of network and hardware development, pbbs' functions are naturally unpretentious. For example, it only supports text, and even if each post can cover 10,000 floors, its resource expenditure is not worth the loss.

Of course, there are no alternatives. Correspondingly, you can use codes to arrange the knowing graphics, create themes for the posts, and so on.

Therefore, the pbbs performance that James Brady saw is very exciting, and the "general" comment, only Tang Huan who knows the extent of the future network development can be qualified to speak out.

Although pbbs now only serves computer technology, it is precisely because of this that it needs to adjust the boring atmosphere, and its social page is extremely lively.

Unlike the bbs platform built by technology enthusiasts and groups that have become pioneers due to various external factors, pbbs is known for its professionalism as soon as it debuts. In addition to the use of mature and advanced supporting hardware and software, it also rents many communication lines to the local tyrants. This alone makes other bbs inferior.

It can be said that pbbs has become an important gathering center for people attracted by the emerging bbs culture.

Naturally. The famous feature of the virtual world is reflected, that is, on the Internet, it is impossible to judge whether the person typing on the keyboard at the end of the terminal is a human or a dog, and everyone can say that it is unscrupulous.

Just like the recent incident of Chinese-American rich man Tang Huan being caught in a public opinion storm, he has been exposed to the mystery of the people, no matter what the nouveau riche deserves. I still sympathize with ethnic minorities that are always prone to encounter invisible ceilings, and they are all targeted. After all, network fees are still very expensive, and cherishing the gold-rich id is the instinctive consensus in the initial stage of bbs development.

Among them, there are many so-called people of insight who have helped Tang Huan to deal with this crisis of public opinion. The spoofs often lead to blockbuster discussions, and even more violent people scold Tang Huan for fools. This is what bbs showed. One of the characteristics of non-professional grassroots media communication.

James Brady received his bachelor of political science from the University of Illinois in 1962. He began to serve government departments, and since 1973, he has been an assistant to senior ministerial officials.

In other words, the boss moves his mouth and his subordinates run and break his legs are used to describe him.

Because of these pragmatic work experiences, James Brady didn’t need Tang Huan’s to point out, and he discovered the value of bbs—this is a new type of mass media, and although he can’t show his face to the public, he can be behind the scenes. Operate this tool.

"Is this product available for sale?" James Brady asked with piercing eyes. "Perhaps. The White House Press Office is suitable for this system."

"Although it is still being tested, it is already of great practical value." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "As the first customer, I can give this system as a gift. But the hardware has to pay for it."

"That's it." James Brady pointed to the pbbs-exclusive philosopher's mark on the display. "How long will it take for this information to be changed into words corresponding to the White House."

"This product uses our original centralized configuration, and even after it is sent to the White House, it is too late to adjust." Tang Huan replied confidently.

Anxious to prove that he still had "use value" instead of a white-collar pension, James Brady returned to Washington, despite his wife's objections. Asking Reagan for advice, I found a new high-tech tool for communicating people’s sentiments. If the White House Press Office uses this tool, it will definitely have good results.

In the original time and space, during his eight-year presidency, Reagan kept the tragic reminder of Chi Yu’s fire at the city gate bearing the title of White House spokesperson. Regardless of the purpose, there was not necessarily a hint of guilt in it.

Regardless of whether this guess is reliable, Reagan immediately agreed to James Brady's suggestion and gave the other party full responsibility.

Therefore, when the "X-Files" repeatedly mentioned bbs, it has quietly entered the White House.

Waiting for a wider range of media personnel to connect to the most recommended pbbs through personal computers and modems has fallen behind.

However, their accident is not small, the original virtual space can also be so lively.

The clues claimed can be found here, such as public information on the daily operations of the Shennong Foundation.

Many of them were dazzled, and like a lost lamb, they were abducted and taken into the world of mud games.

Soon, the directors of various media jumped and scolded whether AT&T’s system had a problem, and why the number on the bill suddenly became so large. It seems that you are right to split it up.

No, the black heart of this company must be explained to the public.

As a result, unknowingly, the media's criticism of Tang Huan was replaced by discussions about various products of the company under his name, and even sought after. The lawsuit between Tang Huan and the "San Francisco Observer" has been mentioned from time to time as to which stage it has progressed.

…

Tang Huan has left the fearless stage of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. In his current capacity, he is like porcelain, and he must know how to better protect himself.

For those innocent attacks, it is not good to go shirtless and go to the front line in person, and it is not good to act rashly if there are problems. In short, there are a lot of constraints, and the best way to resolve the problem is to make it intangible.

Not so high-end is not enough to convince allies and fear opponents.

With the help of eager to break a **** road in the media field, he slapped the Washington Post hard. After crushing the "Washington Post" and "San Francisco Observer" reports, Tang Huan decided to completely destroy the "San Francisco Observer".

This grievance is so obvious, there is no need to cover it up, just appeal to the law directly.

Piff was angry, and the blood splattered five steps. Why bother to be a dignified capitalist, and billionaires have the prefix of Chinese descent, does not mean that anyone can provoke it.

It happens to also consolidate the public opinion support of the San Francisco base camp. Otherwise, the newspapers on my own site will swear by the nose, which is really good to say.

However, Regis McKenna presented Tang Huan with a problem, "Since you disdain to respond to doubts about your integrity, you have to take action to make a statement and fight back. The falsification of academic qualifications is the most critical point. , You might as well continue to study for Ph.D. Let everyone shut up."

Hearing this suggestion, Tang Huan grinned bitterly at the time. Gein took care of both work and study. It was really hard work that made him retreat. He insisted on his master's degree, and it was entirely for the purpose of dealing with his aunt.

What's more, for Tang Huan, the higher academic title is just an embellishment, and his achievements no longer need to be used to prove it.

But Regis McKenna was very analytical and listened to persuasion to eat a full meal. I specifically hired a public relations consultant, isn't it just for him to check for deficiencies.

For convenience, Tang Huan directly chose Stanford University in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Zheru has set up a special advisory organization to recruit well-known computer experts and scholars. So I know a lot about professors from various universities.

Regis McKenna's suggestion was to find a non-Chinese mentor, and the result was to pick and choose-Donald Venkonus.

Before this person visited China in 1977, he took a Chinese name, Gartner, and won the Turing Award as early as 1974.

Comprehensive consideration of academic status. As well as the recognition of the cultural differences between the East and the West, Tang Huan realized that Gartner was indeed a good choice, so he determined it.

The next steps to find the recommendation letter and so on are not a problem at all for Tang Huan. After a streamlined operation, everything is done.

Gartner is an interesting person. It can be said that he is a hacker with the two elements he needs: a tireless pursuit of technology and an obsession with music.

Gartner had dealt with Tang Huan before, and he clearly stated that he liked this text processing software because it made him a lot more convenient when he wrote the book ""-"The Art of Computer Programming".

In addition, Gartner was also very interested in the desktop publishing system launched by Tang Huan, and even started to develop a font design system called the font design system.

It can be said that Gartner and Tang Huan have a kind of like-mindedness. Therefore, this relationship between mentor and apprentice was established very smoothly and quickly. After three times, Tang Huan officially became Gartner’s subordinates. PhD student.

Immediately afterwards, Gartner arranged a task for Tang Huan-an opening speech, to answer his master's thesis on operating systems for those interested.

From a simple sense of perception, the operating system is also some files that are called by the cpu from the disk into the memory, but it controls all hardware resources, which makes it special.

Whether an operating system is advanced or not depends on many aspects, such as how memory is used, especially in a multitasking environment. If it performs well, it makes full use of hardware resources. If it performs poorly, improper resource allocation can cause system crashes.

However, it is often difficult to balance the robustness and efficiency of the system, and a reasonable balance of compromise must be found.

This is like a busy road section. If a car does not follow the rules and is jammed, it may not only not be fast, but it will also cause traffic jams for everyone.

If a fence is placed between the lanes to isolate the lanes from each other, then all the cars will be able to drive in their own lanes without interfering with the operation of other lanes. Even if something goes wrong, the harm is only Confined in the lane, will not cause the entire road to be paralyzed.

But if the vehicle really needs to change lanes, it will have to wait for the next intersection, which will undoubtedly increase the time cost and reduce the efficiency.

For example, Microsoft's ms-, its own memory space and the memory space of the application program are not isolated from each other. If the application program is designed improperly and a problem occurs and crashes, then the ms- will also be affected, and the entire system will be affected. It crashed.

It provides this isolation mechanism, which greatly reduces the possibility of crashes.

In addition to the choice of whether or not there is such isolation between operating systems and applications, similar phenomena also exist within operating systems. After all, the functions provided by operating systems will only increase, and modular design is a natural choice.

If the isolation mechanism inside the operating system is used improperly, it is extremely easy to reduce the execution efficiency of the system.

Therefore, the modularization of the operating system is also a subject worthy of careful discussion. From this, three concepts have emerged around the operating system kernel:-micro kernel,-macro kernel, and-mixed kernel.

Tang Huan’s master’s degree thesis discussed such topics, especially his practical experience, namely, the operating systems used by Fangyuan Computer and Xiaobawang game consoles, as well as the operating systems that are being developed and tested for Yipeng/Server/ Workstation operating system Vientiane/.

Nowadays, the most successful general-purpose high-end operating system is from Bell Labs. Some of its features that are only used for servers have become the focus of research.

Tang Huan’s exposition in the thesis made people who care about this field a bright spot, but many readers felt that it had reservations, so they had a speech task assigned by Gartner.

When Tang Huan came to the scene, he found that many people had a close relationship with him, but a few of them made him a playful smile, "I said why I urged me so enthusiastically, it turned out to be waiting to absorb the experience. , So I can start a company and start a business."
