Why would it take hours to decode transmissions from Curiosity rover via MRO?
This video clip by NASA says that data from Curiosity relayed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) would be stored for a few hours, then transmitted to Earth (apparently taking about 14 minutes), after which it would take hours for engineers to decode the data.
Prevent anomalies caused by signal propagation time
In electrical engineering class we learned that signal lines are not ideal, so it takes time for the signal to reach the other end of the cable, and if we doesn’t take this into account, it can lead to crazy phenomenons like:
Difference between Signal/Slot and DataBusPattern
I’m just trying to figure out what makes the Signal/Slot (Pattern?). Wikipedia tells me not so much and calls it an implementation of the ObserverPattern* while I would think it has much more resemblance to the DataBusPattern**.

Proper way of handling EINTR in libraries
What is the recommended etiquette when it comes to EINTR in libraries?
Best way to signal all child processes to terminate using C
I have been assigned the task of designing a simple web server using C in my UNIX & C class. The webserver listens and forks when a successful connection is made so that multiple clients may be served at once. The child process then handles the transaction between client and server. I am now required to implement code that handles signals, specifically SIGTERM and SIGQUIT.
