    You seem to forgot who developed big part of Wifi standards. It was CSIRO - Australian entity.

    Cleancache was just recently posted to LKML: Cleancache [PATCH 0/7] (was Transcendent Memory): overview.

  3. Re:Seriously, this is a casting nightmare on Joss Whedon To Direct The Avengers · · Score: 1

    And GPS unit can be quickly paired using Bluetooth.

  5. Re:...Or an arms race on SSD Price Drops Signaling End of Spinning Media? · · Score: 1

    Well, we already have standard for onboard flash connector - it's just a matter of implementation in mainstream. Serious business already uses flash modules without SATA interposer. Just google for images of Oracle F5100 Array.

  6. Re:Cool on Intel's Core i7-980X Six-Core Benchmarked · · Score: 1

    AMD is just about to ship 12-core Magny Cours to customers. That's a beast!

  7. Re:Linus on Which Linux For Non-Techie Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    You are mistaken. Linux Torvalds uses Fedora Linux.

  8. Re:Summary is wrong; idea is worthless on De-Anonymizing Social Network Users · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The whole site and paper looks like an attempt at marketing Xing. I never heard of this site before, now it's on the news.

  9. Re:Unfortunately, applications still behind the cu on IPv4 Free Pool Drops Below 10%, 1.0.0.0/8 Allocated · · Score: 1

    IPv6 for NFS is available since Linux 2.6.30, according to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NFSClientIPv6

  10. Already used on desktop on Trying To Bust JavaScript Out of the Browser · · Score: 1

    Gnome-shell, which will be GNOME 3.0 main UI, is written in JavaScript and works pretty well. JS is capable of much more than flashy web site.

  11. Re:When crossing the road on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    At least in London there are very helpful (and crucial for surviving) paintings on crossings. They literally state "look right" or "look left".

  12. Re:Great work! on Fedora 12 Released · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Being cutting edge is what I like in Fedora. As for some kernel backports -- among them are btrfs backports. Those are changes which weren't even written when .31 was released. But those changes and fixes are quite important and I'm happy that Josef merged them in .31 shipped by Fedora.

  13. Re:The straight dope on Apple Discontinues ZFS Project · · Score: 1

    Uhm, are you feeling OK? Btrfs is in Linux kernel, it is constantly being ,,released'' -- repositiories are wide open for everyone at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-unstable.git;a=summary . Look into the mailinglist, contributions are comming from many companies (Red Hat included). Sun aquisition have exactly zero effect on btrfs development.

    That said, as a ZFS fan, I'm dissapointed by Apple's move. Support in another high-profile operating system would be good for ZFS.

  14. Re:Bluetooth PAN tethering support in NetworkManag on Fedora 12 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Obviously, you are mistaken. If you do not see bluetooth PAN options, it may be: 1) BT PAN disabled/unavailable on your phone; 2) bug in NM -- google for fedora 12 network manager test day, it was tested back then.
    Also notice, that BT DUN (I think more popular than PAN) networking is coming to NM after release.

    You may be interested that Ubuntu isn't the best at PA integration.

  16. Re:Concept best applied as a shell/containment on First Moblin V2 Netbook Launches · · Score: 1

    Moblin UI draws heavily (dynamic workspaces, single windows, etc.) from GNOME Shell, which will be default in GNOME 3.0. Also, moblin packages were accepted in Fedora, so there will be Fedora Moblin Spin.
    You can have both now by installing F12.

  17. Re:Considering they're in RAID 0 on Start-up Claims SSD Achieves 180,000 IOPS · · Score: 1

    Intel X25-E delivers about 5000 IOPS. How you are going to match drive doing 9x more with RAID?

    Are you sure? My T400 (bought year ago) have VT switch in BIOS from day one. My earlier z61t hadn't, and required over a year of email exchange to get VT toggle in new BIOS.

  21. Re:might decrease the value of the warranty, thoug on Apple Working On Tech To Detect Purchasers' "Abuse" · · Score: 1

    Technical specification states what temperature and humidity levels are allowable for device. If someone use device outside spec, it his fault. If environment was humid enough to make LSI red, it was humid enough to cause damage to electronic circuits. Read the manual, don't use devices outside spec. If you think you environment is not suitable for device, don't buy.

  22. Re:Understatement on Why a Hard Disk Is a Better Bargain Than an SSD · · Score: 1

    Post like this shows why there should be more than +5 moderation on /.. I agree with you wholeheartly.

    Every now and then some idiot posts sequential read/write benchmarks and says SSD are not worth. If only this guy looked at IOPS... This number is relevant and clearly shows that SSD are worth every penny.

  23. Re:What I really want to know on Solid State Drives Tested With TRIM Support · · Score: 1

    In Linux TRIM commands are issued by ext4 and btrfs. Btrfs also have two SSD modes for allocator, but is not meant for production now. There are probably other linux filesystem issuing TRIM, as it's implemented few kernel releases ago.

    Enigma was broken by Polish cryptographers, not UK ones. British government isn't happy to announce that fact.

  25. Good FS on How To Store Internal Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    Store them in plastic boxes in sets. You don't want just RAID1, 5 or 6. You need filesystem which will actually correct errors as they appear. Use ZFS or btrfs.
