If you can keep the disk spun down without loosing changes there is now reason that you can do this in user space but not kernel space. Infact its the same ammount of work, but kernel space is already setup to fix the huge problem of concurrency, that userspace almost always fails at. Also managing the disk with a properly tuned vfs layer will happen seemlessly each application would reap the benefits. Not to mention protecting the flash for those few lock files that always forget about.
In other news film star Robin Williams brought a law suit against Microsoft for stealing his act. He was qouted to say 'As any one can see they stole this so called innovation directly out of my improve in the block buster film Good Morning Vietnam!' It should be noted that Mr Williams was refering to his raiod monologue where a miltary intelligance officer is impresonalted as saying 'Well we go into the jungle and we ask them if they are the enemy, if they say yes we shoot them'
I was just using it as an example while laptop_mode seems like a good step, the granularty sucks. The VFS should not have one big nob, but rather a nob on each device.
perfect, its like I think it and they have already written support for it. Personally I would have rathered it be more tuneable via the VFS layer. In stead of the boolean aggressive caching, on off (laptop mode on|off) I would want to setup this on a per volume granlarity. So HDs can be setup with normal behavior, while flash disks can have agressive caching decressing total writes and keeping them alive longer. Also I would like to be able to tune the VFS layer so that the fs cache for the normal drives get flushed for space first. Really all of these ops need to be per device settings. Also it would be cool if these settings were tied to the device like in the superblock or somethng, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
memory, daemon, spin up disk, cronjob ? jebus your cool. It only took you about 10 seconds to revinvent a shitty vfs layer in userspace. Shouldnt we just be able to tune the VFS for aggressive cacheing and let that spin up and down the disk as needed. I dont want to get into the softupdates Vs. journel issue, but really thats what you want.
Bah, this story should read, 'Real, Honest to goodness Female a FBSD user, weds, reducing available femal freebsd user pool to 0". By the way, if its lower power you want check out the Via mini-itx boards. The Eden chips go up to 1Ghz are 17cm x 17cm and use passive cooling. Plus they have hardware enabled RNG and AES acceleration that should improve security and preformance with things like ipsec.
I think this post should read 'Chenney aids in undisclosed bunker listen to XM' I mean if you work in a concreat bunker is XM really the first thing you need? I have never been one to demand a window office, but hey if you work in a cave you have to accept some challenges. That said, why not just hookup the usb tuner at home.. and then rebroadcast that over shoutcast or something and pick it up at work. Guess what no extra charges.. cept the badwidth..and as we have already pointed out you pay that anyways.
This is insane. Why should you waste bandwidth for online radio? when they have (had) a usb adapter that could tune the same radio they are beaming into your home and head? Yes.. I should have to pay for isp bandwidth and radio service.. instead of just radio service.. ugh.
Wasnt there a SDL demo of split video? As I recall most graphics packages use split video support as a dog and pony show. Heres hoping it doesnt look like a donky show!
enablers! Thats like saying well if your a heroine addict getting off heronine is hard and people wont like it. So if a heronie addict cant afford heroine we should just give it to them. To mix metaphores, methadone is available in the form of Citrix. Long story short, stop being a junky
Wasnt their a story several months ago where someone was shiping 4way xtermainls all homed on a single pentium? I mean XP supporting only 2users seems rather weak when they have 4way X machines using extra video cards and usb kb/mouse.
KDE and GNOME are not single packages. They are combinations of smaller packages. Waving the KDE and GNOE flags dont make your point, OpenOffice.Org might, but thats really just a statment against code bloat office suites
OK check out http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/updates/91 _i386.html turns out suse already is patch rpms. As for your 'CDs worth of updates, I say PFFFT' Digging into those directories we can see the updates include the New RPM, the PATCH rpm and instructions in both English and German. Example
It looks like the total updates would be about half of that CD. And that would be full replacement RPMS. The patches seem to be only slighty smaller. And these are replacements RPMS for ALL possible installed packeges. Suse like most distros ships everything in rpms, but none installs all of them. I mean how many people install every Database, Every Development toolchain (that gnu ada compiler rocken your world?), Every desktop gui.. no one. Just as most people you have taken a small data point and whipped it into a full misunderstading. Statistics Lie, and Liers use Statistics. My Stat proff told me that, still true.
As soon as binary diffs get hacked into RPM then it might happen. binary diffs of one rpm to another later version wont really work as binary diffs are only small when they are produced on uncompressed, unecrypted data. The real issue is that linux doesnt really need binary diffs. Linux distros already have fine grain packages ( lots of little packegs not a few bigs ones). Security updates usally just require a one or very few packegs to be updated. Binary diffs only really make sense when you have huge packages that require a whole new package for upgrade. I bet the average RPM is about the same size as the minium binary diff from MS.
This interfrience crap needs to go. If people are allowed to carry devices on airplanes that enable them to crash the plane due to negelent or bad intentions I suggest the TSA needs to consficate the trouble some devices during flight operations. BUT guess what this is all crap.. if the planets align, the sun spots hit and we get are in a ION storm, thne you migth be able to slightly confuse the ILS systsem that were phased out in the 70's. The real reason they want tell us to turn off the cellphones is as you hope between cells at 300mph they really freak out and waste bandwidth during negations, you leave a trial contexts that need to be cleand up later. But as we saw three years ago, it wasnt the cell phones crashing planes into buildings, infact they seemed to work just fine during flight operations. If RF is so dangerous they should wrap the passenger compartment with copper mesh,ground it.. and watch the RF fall to nothing. But guess what they will never remove take your cell phone during travel becouse its really not a problem. And they wont protoect the plane from RF becouse in reality all of those devices that we are told we must turn off dont emit enough RF to cause any problems. Its obvoius if finger nail clippers are band becouse they are so dangerous...but cell phones and laptops that produce RF that can bring down the plain.. well those we just ask you nicely to turn off at the right times.
We need to fight this BS. IF we allow these morons to slap us down now they will claim presdent later. We need the EFF to publish when its ok and when its not to connecto a public wifi basestation. If you set up an open basestation and allow anyone to connect and dont event attempt to any security (ala wep) then you have asked people to come take part in your bandwidth give away. If you dont want to allow me acess.. ignore my 2.4Ghz signal. My radio is FCC compliant (unfortunailty) so the pigs can ge stuffed. wifi is unregulated.. if your under power they dont get a vote! Its up to them to protect their network.. not you to avoid it!
It just plays a static move of search requests. Thats weak. It should find a phone via bluetooth dial to the internet, update the search request list and then display in real time. Bonus points if it hacks the any available phone to use a data source. How kick ass would it be to walk up to somone.. notice their phone starts to dial.. see your belt buckle update.. and then walk away.

Lets start taking bets on how long it will take to hack up a ptsn gateway. This migtht force private VOIP into critical mass?
yes I work in alviso!
