> You must use maildirs, not mbox. Maildirs perform very well even on NFS, because there can be multiple simultaneous readers and writers. mbox requires locking.
Locking is obviously not an issue with mail. A mailbox is accessed by one user -- his owner -- and local delivery agent. Locks are fine here. There is indeed some concurrent access but as far as mail mostly sits idle in the file and waits it's not a problem.
Most current smartphones are way more expensive than basic PCs and perform an order of magnitude worse. They become cheaper but the process is even faster for PCs. And what's more, smartphones lack the most expensive part -- usable display!
Sony is actually a huge player in the digital photo market. For example, they produce almost all sensors. Canon & Fuji use their own sensors, while Nikon, Konica-Minolta, Pentax and all the other brands use Sony sensors almost exclusively.
I used several Sony DCs and they are very good. Way above your average Powershots or Coolpixen. But of course Canon & Nikon make unsurpassed SLRs. Sony doesn't even try to compete with them here. They lack competence in doing SLR cameras and they confirm that by making such things as R1 mentioned in TFA.
Looks like they apply auto-levels to each frame. That shouldn't affect performance a lot, btw. It is really a work-around for bad rendering. They could fix low dynamic range earlier in the output pipeline.
This is VERY interesting. Shared secret encapsulated in email address! Wow. It of course could be also one-time (deleted after whitelisting the first correspondent).
I wish your startup success! I'd probably consider contributing if you were open source.
It sometimes gets quite ridiculous. E.g. I maintain the maradns port in FreeBSD Ports collection. And I cannot get subscribed to maradns mailing list because all.ru addresses are strictly banned from accessing the list.
This presumes that 150,000,000 russians are spammers and cuts them off with one line in config. Cool.
Have you ever written an abuse complain to a russian ISP?
Most of them are well aware of this very problem - being blacklisted by a major RBL usually means quite a problem for them. They try to react ASAP. I know because I once worked for a hosting provider in Moscow.
On the contrary, imagine an american ISP getting a complain from Russia. Hm. I wonder whether it would even be taken seriously. Connection to Russia is not important for this american ISP usually and being blacklisted in Russia is no threat for their business.
So, do not please presume ignorance and incompetence without trying yourself. Please.
One of the problems directly connected to SPAM or better to AntiSPAM measures is that the global email connectivity is severely damaged. Many sysadmins are enabling blind filtering on national IP ranges. And which networks end up in the blacklists most of the time? You name it: chinese, african and eastern european.
While such measures do really help they also hurt. I'm from Russia and it's getting harder and harder to reach out for my colleagues and friends throughout the world. Mails just mysteriously disappear on the way and I cannot do anything but validate each message via IM or GMail. And what if I address a mailing-list? Or a business partner who neither uses IM nor likes to receive emails from free webmail providers?
More and more of our hosting companies (they usually provide email services too) suddenly find themselves in different RBLs and you know how HARD is to change a hoster.
One way is to find a relay outside Russia but those industrious SpamAssassin installations on the Net will check all the relays that the email passed through and figure out that the very first is in Russia. Ahh..
Most of my friends are at about $3000 per year. What makes you think that we don't care about downloaded simpsons?:)
I'll buy a desktop for $300, get online for $10 a month and be better without this stinking locked matchbox pretending to be a computer.
This was a reality check for you.
The only interesting use for this box is "tinkering" but the system does not allow it. AMD will fail at this project (as will Microsoft with XP Starter Edition). This is absurd.
In fact cookies were designed with such nasty things in mind. No, that's not mathematically possible cause browsers use strong hashes to protect cookies from modification.
Here in Russia a text-content banner network(russian resource) recently emerged. Yes, they deliver pieces of html into their clients' pages.
This is just to show that forbidding cookies alongside gifs is NOT a good way out of the problem. In fact any http-url can deliver a cookie with it. Remember how many tags have SRC attribute beside IMG.

Is there a way to order the anniversary t-shirt not from ThinkGeek? Because unfortunately TG does not ship to some countries, e.g., Russia.
D2 is completely useless on a PDA or phone.
Please, leave old system as an option for ever. Please.

We use mboxes for our 10^7 users. Indexed mboxes are OK.
Maildir sucks badly at such scales. Why? Try accessing 100000 files at once or just having 10000000000 files lying around.

This issue is almost one year old. The page under link was last modified in April.

FreeBSD portalfs, mentioned in the TFA, is a user-mode filesystem.
It will. Trust me. I'm from Russia.
Really. This is quite obviously a job that one would like to get some money for. Such rewritings aren't usually doing well on pure enthusiasm.
I wish I were a student, yes.
Why isn't Web a gopher with images?

Hello, just in case your are not joking. I'm from Moscow, Russia. We are having one of the warmest winters in recent 50 or so years rigth now. JFYI.
:) Hm, but seriously, Russia's much warmer in recent years. Don't know about China.
My pet polar bear left for Spizbergen just yesterday

Isn't "$12 million dollar" like the infamous "CD disk"?
