Good to know that this is hitting mainstream so soon.
Also, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for GRUB to worry about *any* journalling that it can ignore. Does GRUB typically write anything to disk after one runs grub-setup or the equivalent sequence of GRUB shell commands?

The XBOX2 DVD drive behaviour boggles my mind. Why the hell don't any game programmers ever spin or slow that fucker down? It's loud at full speed! Try playing Burnout Paradise, or Beautiful Katamari. Pause the game and walk away for a few minutes. Notice that the drive is still spinning away. Moreover, start up a game. Let it sit at the game's main menu. Why is that disk spinning at full speed (or at all)? [0]
<offtopic rant>
[0] I can guess why they don't slow down the drive... the devs probably want "minimum response time to user input". I'd rather have a quieter living room, thankyouverymuch.
Sounds like you have a knack for picking terribly short-sighted doctors. We will all age and grow sick. A good doctor will keep seeing -and curing- you until the day that you die.
The goal of "maximizing capital investments" is sometimes best served by not giving your company the reputation of a back-stabbing, iron fisted, totalitarian thug.:)
It's not FUD. TFA effectively says: "Do you have telnet or SSH on your router w/ a weak password? Is that telnet or SSH port exposed to the internet? Well we've seen folks get root through those means and deploy MIPS shellcode to do nasty things to your router."
That is very calm, very certain, and very undoubtable.:)
I thought that karl.auerbach was saying "HTTP knows how to easily traverse NAT. Because of this, new applications are using it for all their data transportation needs."
In response to this, I said "TF2 over HTTP would not be very performant, IMO."
No they don't belong in the system directory because your program wants version 10.2.27 of the library and some other program wants version 23.4.61.
IIUC, Side-by-Side assemblies help here. Also, one could take a page from *nix and add the version number of a given DLL to its filename. Too bad about the lack of mainstream support for NTFS junction points, tho. That would save *everyone* heaps of trouble when deploying binary-compatible updates to shared libs.
"End-to-end" means that for each machine on the network, it has one or more globally-reachable addresses. AIUI, A machine's firewall configuration doesn't have anything to do with how it hangs off of the network.:)
Like any fear, if you expose yourself to it enough, eventually it loses it's power over you.
What is there to fear? The conclusion is inevitable. Everybody dies. There's no escaping it. There's nothing that you can do about it. Fearing such a thing makes no sense at all.
How many of us physically secure *all* of our hardware when we're done using it? Hell, how many of us do this when we leave the house? Not many, I'd wager.
There are *far* easier ways to inject malicious devices into our systems than this.
One of the massive historical problems folks need to solve is "vote selling", which is enabled whenever a voter can prove how they voted to someone else.
Doesn't any place that permits absentee ballots greatly weaken their resistance to vote selling?
Unless they're developing *for* Windows *on* Windows. I'm not saying that MSFT's Visual C++ is a better compiler, but it does WIN32 better than mingw does.
- It isn't standards compliant. When standards disintegrate the consumer pays.
Is there a standard for inline player control? If there isn't, how can this non-existent standard disintegrate? If there is, would you kindly point me to some dox?:)
Heh. Crank the volume up to max, lose the special earbuds, and get a 3.5" analog inline volume adapter. It's almost as if you've hired your own DJ and radio station!
The topic at hand isn't "Inline non-standard [0] volume/playback controls suck." We already know this. Bearing that in mind, I don't see how you've done anything more than restating beelsebob's point.:)
I have not put it through the ringer with other tests...
It's wringer. You put things through a wringer to squeeze the water out of them. This is very stressful. If the item in question isn't clothing, and isn't strong, it's likely to break. If it's a person, it's likely to punch the shit out of you when you're done.

Grub2 (1.9.6) is in the Gentoo Portage tree and currently masked. That means that it's still dangerous. :)

Nice picture.
What's the difference between "Collection Year" and "Data Year" mentioned here http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/glance/tables/viortrdtab.htm ?
Tho, IIRC, GRUB doesn't currently grok EXT4 filesystems, so -as of the time of this writing- you can't make an EXT4-formatted device your boot device.
A database management system is nothing but a fancy filesystem with structured files
And some databases come with their own built-in filesystem drivers!

HTTP/HTTPS is becoming the new transport.
I imagine that a Team Fortress 2 server will perform poorly when shoved through HTTP.

You can't stop the signal, nobody can.
My international army of backhoes, fishing trawlers, and Tesla coils disagrees.
