Binary Hole Issue #2

Welcome to the second issue of Binary Hole. In this edition, we have several tasty articles for your viewing pleasure. First up, we have an interesting article about the mainstream media, and how they enjoy skewing the truth for fun and profit.

Next up, we have a helpful article on how to choose a shell account. It gets down to the nitty gritty. There are many options available, depending on your needs. This one is a must read if your thinking about getting one.

We also have a guide for employers jumping on the bandwagon and hiring hackers to work for them. This guide will hopefully enlighten them on proper care and feeding of their hackers. It might be a good idea to print that one out and drop on someones desk at your company. ;)

Then there is the in depth guide on IRQ's and Interrupt. The first few paragraphs will give you a brief explanation. Further in you'll learn more than you ever wanted to know about them, different types, etc.

Next we have an in depth article about DMA's, what they are, what they do, why, as well as the different speeds. Again, if you just want a simple answer, read the first couple paragraphs. If you're into fine details, read the entire thing.

And of course, we have our usual GPF and /dev/null sections for your viewing pleasure. Laugh until your sides hurt.
