"Hash collisions happen all the time."
Really? A 512bit hash collides "all the time"?
We have systems generating tens to hundreds of thousands of 128bit GUIDs all the time for years, and don't have issues colliding. How is a 512bit hash supposed to collide regularly short of identical data?
Adjustable cost password hashing is plain silly. Let the end user tack on an extra 1-3 chars to make their password secure. Give me a hash that run in one clock cycle, because a good password will still be safe, even with 100ghz graphene cpus.
I pay $210/month, but I got 6 lines, unlimited minutes, nation wide roaming, best coverage in the mid-west(I get 4-5 bars where many AT&T/Verizon get no service), unlimited text/pic/video messaging, insurance on every line, and wife has a 2.5GB data plan with $10/1GB overage, and all non-smart phones cost $0.01 every 18 months.
Maybe you should do some reading into how money works. The only thing stopping BC from taking off is not enough people using it. I'm not saying they should, but there is nothing theoretical wrong with BC, just practical limitations.
"Only survives as long as people think it has value." - Sounds like Gold, and every other type of money ever and will be.
Money only has value because we collectively think it has value. Otherwise show me a law of physics that backs up your assumption that certain money has a certain value.
The banks are more to blame only because it was their professional duty to not do what they did. But yes, it's for the most part, just as much the 99% as it is the 1%.
Actually, this reminds me of a similar problem. Crossing guards have actually increased the amount of accidents between children and vehicles. It seems children have lost the ability to cross roads by themselves and motorists have learned to identify crossing guards and not children. Because of this, accidents during school times have decreased, but overall accident have increased.
but in practice there is a large set of labor that humanity needs in order to survive, and that basically nobody wants to do
I guess people who do this work should get paid more. Lots of demand, little supply
There is also the issue of most people basically having the same skills as everyone else, driving the wages down for huge categories of labor, confining most people to poverty.
I guess these people should find some other specialties. Again, supply and demand.
In a reasonably "free market", supply and demand should fix your job related issues.
Big name artists are the only ones who make real money via incumbent publishers because of leverage. The smaller artists tend to only break-even, even when they gross millions as a whole. RIAA affiliates have something like an 90%+ overhead and the artists have to pay for their own travel/etc. Artists literally make pennies on the dollar, which mostly goes back to the publisher.

And all of my sites suddenly don't work.
The point is I should be able to browse the full-featured web without slowdowns. I shouldn't have to disable 90% of the "features" of a web-page because of latency sensitive loading. What you're suggesting is a bandaid to the problem.

I know I tend to play Devil's advocate in an almost trollish way, but it invokes great responses like your's and bluefoxlucid. It seems if you don't get people defensive on the internet, they tend to ignore your posts and don't reply with potentially great stuff.
Anyway, I didn't know about LVM and it looks quite "great". One question I have about it is that it supports allowing a volume to have a RAID1 style backing. If some of the data got silently corrupted in one of the mirrors, how would EXT4 decide which data to choose and how would it fix it or does LVM do this?
The biggest logical issue I've seen with separating volume managers from the FS is that the two typically don't communicate. This lack of communication hurts the overall resiliency. Not to say the FS and volume manager couldn't communicate via an API or something.
So "baby boomers" aren't real? Ohh thank God, I thought there was a "generation" with lots of extra births.
Even though you won't find "generations" based on birth dates, you will find people with-in a given age range, will have some common pop-culture commonality. They tend to define their child-hoods fairly similarly.
Almost every corp has some amount of jobs over seas as you have to compete globally, but some corps move jobs over seas not to compete globally, but locally.
Most of Intel's current plants, new plants, and research jobs are in the USA. Might as well start talking about how the NFL is off-shoring jobs.
Then don't browse sites with the "like" button. In order for the like button to work on a website, you must first authenticate. To make this transparent, it's done via a cookie and the site must also authenticate.
From that info, FB gets to see which account you are and which site you've loaded. FB created this feature, end users love it, and web devel are using it. FB does not force this on anyone.
I'm not saying this is the "best" way, but this is how it's done at my work.
The devs have worked with the admins to script/automate the installs. The Devs do test installs against their VM images, but the final live install is done by the admins. This also works as a conduit to keep admins up-to-date as to how the software works.
One of the big issues is for our admins to be able to debug basic issues. The admins also give a lot of feedback to the devs on how things seem to be running live.

Another fun one is heat patterns of your body. Even among genetically identical twins, they will have different heat distribution.

Ditto, but not as long because I'm young and only semi-recently gotten a 401k. Averaging awesome returns.

Let me translate that.

Any transactional FS(ZFS/BTRFS) shouldn't need fsck. You always start from the last commited transaction or snapshot.
Can you add randomly sized disks to EXT4 and transparently grow the volume? Yeah, didn't think so.
I'm not saying EXT4 is "bad", I'm just saying BTRFS has A LOT more useful features, just less tested and has some trade-offs.
Think high latency connections, like 3G/Satellite where a 3-way handshake is expensive.
