All sorts of random things:
- Project 1 has been graded and the testcases are on Blackboard.
- The regrade policy for projects is on the policies page. I would suggest giving it a read.
- The updated longrun.c is on the project 2 page.

Project 2 is now available. For this project you are allowed to work with a partner if you would like. Decide your partners before class on Tuesday, you'll need to tell me your choice then.
Also, the html version of the Minix source code that I showed in class is now available. Check the homework page for the link.

I've modified the late work policy. Each student can extend two separate assignments up to one day each. (You cannot extend one assignment two days.) I've also remove the 10% penalty. Here are some examples:
Valid Usage #1: Ahmed decides that he needs more time on Project 1. He decides to use one of his late days, so he simply turns in on Blackboard one day late. He can do this same thing one more time for a different project.
Valid Usage #2: Aisha has her Project 1 finished, and so doesn't use a late day. She turns in on time, and can use her late days for two future projects.
Invalid Usage: Ahmed decides that he needs two additional days for Project 1, so he tries to turn after 36 hours. He finds that the submission link is not available anymore, and he is not allowed to submit. He cries himself to sleep that night because he got a 0 on Project 1. (You can only extend an individual project by up to one day.)

I've added another piece of example code to the examples page. I've also cleaned up the code in the other examples a bit and gotten rid of the annoying "warning: exit undefined" error by #include'ing stdlib.h

It has come to my attention the VMWare is not working properly for a number of you, and I can't figure out why. So, I have updated the Project 0 page with a new set of instructions that make use of QEMU (another virtualization program). If the VMWare instructions aren't working for you, please try the QEMU ones.
Also, yesterday's code example from lecture are in the examples section.
