I've fscked a 12TB (mostly full) XFS volume with 2GB of RAM in ~10 minutes with the newer versions of xfsprogs. If its going that slow and taking that long, you're well past due for an update. They've made some really amazing improvements.
With a max volume size of 8TB, you'll never get to grow it too much. 8TB might sound really wicked for your desktop, but its small game for even small servers these days.
What's to stop a commercial vendor from putting evil code in? All it takes is one disgruntled employee and some poor review processes (which certainly isn't uncommon in smaller companies).
As a sibling has mentioned, most open source projects don't just allow everyone to commit changes all willy-nilly. Generally you send patches or pull requests in by email then the maintainers will review your changes. Eventually they might just give you the ability to commit directly (or they'll pull from your repository without extreme scrutiny in the DVCS world) if your code is consistently up to their standards.
The Novell distributed version will contain blobs for the Audio/Video codecs. Novell cannot distribute an open source codec for these even if Microsoft promised not to suit since a lot of the patents aren't owned by them either.
Fortunately you can easily swap out the blobs for FFMPEG if you're feeling risky (or live in a land where such patents aren't legally valid).
Using my handy killawatt, I tested how much power my desktop (not including accessories) draws while off, on and idle, on and under load, and in S3 suspend.
Off - 6 watts Idle - 140W (dropped from 152W after installing a tickless kernel) Loaded - 220W S3 - 8 watts
Ever since I ran that test, I put my machine into suspend at every opportunity. 140W is a lot of juice in the land of $0.18/kWh.
C# and VB.NET both have compilers that compile them down to the same byte-code you mean. VB and VB.NET don't share much in common besides some syntax similarities, its more a ploy to lure in VB programmers than anything.
The targeted POLICY is the weaker of the two most common policy. The other is strict which is a bit too harsh for most.
SELinux also has modes. The only one worth using in production is enforcing which actually enforces the rules. There's also permissive which logs when rules are violated but lets them happen anyway; this is good for development but obviously won't save you from a real attack.
Really to get proper look AND feel on multiple operating systems, you'll need to write a native front end for each. I'm yet to see a toolkit that does a GREAT job at this (although Qt does pretty good).
Something power6 derived anyways. Apple always wanted their chips with the Alitvec instructions which weren't part of any of the other power series. They also didn't want to pay a whole lot for these custom chips which they order in relatively small quantity. Its little wonder IBM didn't rush to get them new CPUs, they're probably happy Apple is just leaving them alone.
Or who voted no perhaps because the bill wasn't proposed by someone in their party. Not to say they don't stand for freedom etc, just offering another very real possibility.
Don't suppose you've ever heard of advanced technologies like differential or incremental backups. Or if those are out of your reach, rsync would work well provided the mentioned backups are not encrypted.
He priced out _Redhat_. If there's a problem with any of the software that comes with Redhat, you call Redhat and they will solve your problem.
Nope. The ext3 driver cannot mount ext4 volumes after extents have been enabled.

Unlike JavaFX however, they both actually managed to get a release out into the world.

Which is why Microsoft has that free addon for MS office 2000+ that allows you to read and write MSOOXML. And no, I really do hate Microsoft.
I'm sure Xorg and KDE4 are high on their priority list for their web servers.

Ever pull the Atari/Vectrex/Nintendo out of the basement to relive some memories?
Not to mention if the game happens to be for your XBox360 you could find yourself missing that first owner bonus sooner than you think!
The big difference in this case is that it affects how you *use* the software.
Many OSI approved licenses affect how you may redistribute the software, but none of them AFAIK limit how you may use or alter it.

NTFS which has legendary shadow copy
What!? NTFS shadow copy sucks.
MAPI is the native protocol for Outlook/Exchange. As a drop-in replacement to Exchange that supports MAPI, you shouldn't need a plug-in.
US manufactures don't bring small Diesels to the US because they're just plain evil.
Japanese manufactures don't bring small Diesels to the US because they're not practical/marketable.
Biased much?

I've been reading about this for months. Its not exactly top secret.

Many of the sysadmins and networking folks I've met deserve to be lumped into that category.
Mono/GTK#?

Care to explain? I've found PostgreSQL's partitioning to work quite well for every situation I've run into.

Which is why a big portion of the offer isn't cash, its MSFT funny money.
