Does Cheat Engine effect your computer at all?
Yes and no. If you set some of the options such as Kernel Mode and Stealth Mode, then it does change a value or adds something to the registry the same way that any other kernel debugger would. So to begin with, Cheat Engine *does not* change your computer at all, but if you *want* it to, you can. its safe cuz its popcorn kernel lol stpid
What is reentrant kernel?
A reentrant kernel enables processes to give away the CPU while in kernel mode ,not hindering other processes from also entering kernel mode. A typical use is IO wait. The processes wants to read a file..It calls a kernel function for this. Inside the kernel function,the disk controller is asked for the data . Getting the data will take some time & the function is blocked during that time. With an reentrant kernel,the scheduler will assign CPU to another process until an interrupt from disk controller indicates that the data is available and our thread can be resumed . This process can still access IO,like user input
What is the difference between context switching and mode switching?
Context means ,in terms of computers, the status of various general purpose registers having some process specific data values and even some other structures dependent on computer hardware,i.e. PCB etc. Now what context switch means ,""switching from one status of registers set to another status of registers set."" This context may be of a process or thread etc. Now when we are talking about any type of context switching,,it means we are requesting the KERNEL to save the current context anywhere,and fetch the next context for us.. It requires a mode switch between user mode to kernel mode, so that required switching may be performed in right order.... Isn't it simple ,,or what.
Some CPU's provide for more than two modes of operation. What are two possible uses of these multiple modes?
Although most systems only distinguish between user and kernel modes, some CPUs have supported multiple modes. Multiple modes could be used to provide a finer-grained security policy. For example, rather than distinguishing between just user and kernelmode, you could distinguish between different types of user mode. Perhaps users belonging to the same group could execute each other's code. The machine would go into a specified mode when one of these users was running code. When the machine was in this mode, a member of the group could run code belonging to anyone else in the group. Another possibility would be to provide different distinctions within kernel code. For example, a specific mode could allow USB device drivers to run. This would mean that USB devices could be serviced without having to switch to kernel mode, thereby essentially allowing USB device drivers to run in a quasi-user/kernel mode.

Is it possible to be in 'limited access mode' for contributing too much?
No, unless your contributions were full of crudity or nonsense or cyberbullying, or in some other way violated the Terms of Use of the site.
How do you enter in rescu mode in Linux?
This is largely dependent on what "init" is being used. Generally they all will recognize the number "1" apppended on the kernel command line to mean "rescue mode" or, more accurately, "single user mode." Some inits simply use 1 as a mapping for the actual runlevel involved.
What are different types of kernel?
Basically, there are three types of kernel: - Monolithic Kernel- Micro Kernel- ExoKernel Monolithic:As the name itself suggests, the kernel has every services like, FS Management, MM, Process Management, etc. in the kernel space. It does not run as a separate process. So, as you guess, there is no context switching, when you ask for a service. But, the probability of a monolithic kernel getting struck is more. Because, if there is a bug in the kernel itself, nothing can rescue it. Linux and Windows are good examples of Monolithic kernel. Linux, being a monolithic kernel, you can insert modules into the kernel dynamically using insmod command. Micro Kernel:Micro kernel runs all the services as a daemon in the user space. So, if a problem occurs in any of the service, the kernel will be able to decide what to do next. But, you pay-off the time to switch to a service in this type of kernel. Micro kernels are some what difficult to design and build than the monolithic kernel. There are always a discussion over the internet, talking about the advantage and disadvantages of monolithic and micro kernel. Exo Kernel:Exo kernel is not yet stabilized. It's under design and research. The user mode processes running in this type of kernel has the ability to access kernel resources like process tables, etc directly.
What is the difference between unixkernal and linuxkernal?
Linux kernel is an operating system that is distributed by open source software. It is based on Unix, but has some differences, some of which are in adding and removing features of the kernel, kernel threading, application support, and monolithic kernel approach.

What does mode mean in math terms?
the mode is the most common number for example 89,56,78,8,32,64,8 8 would be the mode you get it cause its the most common In math, mode means most used. So if you see a chart graph and you see some number that is the highest used, then that number would be the mode.
