A proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID controller) is a generic control loop feedback mechanism widely used in industrial control systems. A PID controller attempts to correct the error between a measured process variable and a desired setpoint by calculating and then outputting a corrective action that can adjust the process accordingly.

What is the best OS in the world?
Because users nowadays have different requirements of their computers, different OSs appeal to different users.... each OS has its strong points and weak points.
A lot of what influences a user is not so much the OS itself, but how their favourite applications interact with the OS - if they are even available for it. Many applications designed for MacOS doen't run pn Windows, and vice-versa.
So, for every 100 users you ask you will get a different proportion of answers.
Ask 100 Graphic Designers and you'll get a preponderance of Mac fans
Ask 100 Nerds and you'll probably be told Linux as it is open-source
Ask 100 Accountants and you'll probably be told Windows

What command can you use to determine whether you are using a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Linux?
Usually, 'uname -m' will return the name of the architecture you are using. Depending on the distribution, however, it may print the highest ISA that your processor supports, not necessarily the one you actually have installed (ie. if you run the 32-bit version, like "i386", it will return "x86_64").
If the system is a 64-bit system, uname should return one of the following:
Other results are 32-bit.

How do you install Linux on a PlayStation 3?
There are several Linux distros that can be installed on a PlayStation 3, including Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, and Yellow Dog Linux. Each of these distros have slightly different methods of installation, and a single question could not adequately explain the intricacies of installing all of them. Below are related questions that deal with a specific distro.
If you update to the newest firmware V3.21 you are no longer allowed to install another operating system on the PS3.

What countries use defense diplomacy?
Defence diplomacy as an organizing concept originated with Western defence establishments, especially the UK Ministry of Defence, in the early post-Cold War period. It is generally understood as the peaceful application of different defence resources, including ship visits, military exercises, training and capacity-building as well as high-level interaction (e.g. at the Secretary/Minister of Defence level). Many countries employ defence diplomacy in support of their overall foreign policy; trying to build defence relationships that can further their current aims or that can be called upon in a crisis.
Today, aspects of defence diplomacy are employed by countries with very different philosophies and intentions -- China uses defence diplomacy, as do Russia, India, Brazil and of course major Western/NATO powers (USA, UK, Canada, Australia).
Defence diplomacy is distinct from "gunboat diplomacy", which is more intended to intimidate than to build relationships.
Why Linux is the best operating system?
Linux is the generic name for a UNIX-like operating system that can be used on a wide range of devices from supercomputers to wristwatches. The Linux kernel is released under an open source license, so anyone can read and modify its code. It has been modified to run on a large variety of electronics. Although estimates suggest it is used on only 0.5-2% of all personal computers,[8] it has been widely adopted for use in servers and embedded systems[12][13] (such as cell phones). Linux has superseded Unix in most places[which?], and is used on the 10 most powerful supercomputers in the world[14].
The GNU project is a mass collaboration of programmers who seek to create a completely free and open operating system that was similar to Unix but with completely original code. It was started in 1983 by Richard Stallman, and is responsible for many of the parts of most Linux variants. For this reason, Linux is often called GNU/Linux. Thousands of pieces of software for virtually every operating system are licensed under the GNU General Public License. Meanwhile, the Linux kernel began as a side project of Linus Torvalds, a university student from Finland. In 1991, Torvalds began work on it, and posted information about his project on a newsgroup for computer students and programmers. He received a wave of support and volunteers who ended up creating a full-fledged kernel. Programmers from GNU took notice, and members of both projects worked to integrate the finished GNU parts into the Linux kernel in order to create a full-fledged operating system.

How do you recover your password in SUSE Linux?
have a look @ http://en.opensuse.org/Recover_Root_Password
you will need a install media (boot CD or DVD) for the (open-)SUSE version you want to recover the root password from
in fact, RECOVERING is not the right word, here; the only way to recover it is to have it written down somewhere or someone else remembering it (still); otherwise, you are down to RESETTING the root password.
boot the system from the install media by choosing RESCUE (type F2 / F3 / F4 / F5 in the boot menu to see which option does that; Linux rescue is a good bet).
once finished booting, you have to make your server / workstation's root partition the current root;
1st determine which is the root partition of your server;
$> ls -l /dev/sd*
will show you all (e-)sata and usb devices and the partitions thereon. some newer motherboard also show ATA disks here; otherwise you will get list of ATA devices with
$> ls -l /dev/hd*
for other devices like (external) RAID, if you don't know which device it is, start the install (just hit the enter key without typing in Linux rescue) and choose ADVANCED partitioning. this will show you all the available disks & there partition.
once you know which partition is the root, follow «CD/DVD Recovery Mode» from above link
