    None of those have significant marketshare.

    Except Darwin, under the hood of the fruity OS. It's just that many Mac users don't even know it's there.

    It kinda works for me on Leopard (PPC Mac), but it refuses to mount read/write ext3 filesystems with the dir_index feature. So, just read-only for me.

    You just didn't mention the magic word MS calls this feature: USN journal

    Try the command fsutil usn to play around with it. Of course, it's pretty useless if there's no app relying on it. (but very useful if there is, like for backups as parent said).

    I'm not sure, but OS X might have something similar in HFS+, and use it for Time Machine and also Spotlight (know quickly which files were changed and reindex them).

  15. Re:ext2? on Real-World Benchmarks of Ext4 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In fact, journaling is a performance breaker in pretty much every i/o intensive scenario, such as database servers. Ext2 is still the preferred choice on servers here.

    Ext2 itself is kind of a performance breaker :)

    Don't get me wrong, I like ext2/3, I use only ext3 on all my machines and other machines I install, it's the only Linux fs I really trust. (back then when Suse defaulted to install reiserfs, I always changed that :) But we have to admit that it's not the best-performing fs on Linux.

    And to continue that, why the f*** should Gnome or gvfs take care of browsing the fuckin Windows network? Gnome is a GUI or desktop environment or whatever, why the fuck should it touch the network? And then, accessing files from the network via this avesome gvfs thing makes it really braindead. If the user wants to access a file, just mount it ffs, that's why we have cifs support in the kernel.

    OWA in IE: There is an option on the login page that says:

    Client (what's this?hide explanation)
    [ ] Premium
    The premium client provides all Outlook Web Access features.

    [ ] Basic
    The basic client provides fewer features than the premium client but offers faster performance. Use the basic client if you're on a slow connection.

    OWA in other browsers: there's no such option. You'll get the Basic stuff, obviously.

  20. Re:Interesting, but nothing really new on Google Chrome Tops Browser Speed Tests · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Using ad-blocker is simply stealing. And yes I do call it stealing because you are incurring a cost on the content provider without compensating them. Its no different from stealing at a store with poor security.

    So, is using links/lynx/w3m stealing too? Is turning off images in Firefox and not installing flash stealing too?
