    Since when has New Zealand been a federation?

  2. Re:In Tune... on Maori Legend of Man-Eating Birds is True · · Score: 0

    What value of "native" exactly would you count as "native"? They're as native to New Zealand as any humans are to anywhere except maybe the rift valley, ie., a distinct subpopulation that has developed solely in a certain place. Your link just explains their ancestry - you won't find M

    The difference here is that, with music, there's no point is calling your album the "next Jimi Hendrix" album (unless you just want to be ridiculed by people), because music is essentially stand-alone.

    Although, "finishing" unfinished classical works (Schubert's 8th, Mahler's 10th, Puccini's Turandot etc.) is a popular musicological pursuit, which could be said to be fairly similar.

    Apologies, I misunderstood your point.

  11. Re:What Has Changed? on How Big Should My Swap Partition Be? · · Score: 2, Informative

    The kernel could be made more efficient, and *many* drivers made simpler, if the whole concept of "page fault" ceased to exist.

    Page Faults are not about swap, they're about Virtual Memory - which a different (though related) thing. You should read up some more.
