It's nice to hear you had a good experience with PayPal. I've only rarely used it, but I was recently pointed to Paypal Warning.
The page lists all sorts of articles with negative comments about Paypal. Apparently it has gotten a 3 out of 7 on Reseller Ratings (where everything is scored by customers). They also have a Paypal Wall of Shame with "unedited horror stories".
The thing that grabbed my attention the most, however, was the following on the front page:
WARNING:
Your Paypal account can be frozen at any time, without advance notice leaving you without your money for weeks (if not forever), and there isn't much you can do about it.
Of course we'll have a lot of posts here talking about the issues of backwards compatiblity, ext3's offerings, etc, so we migh as well get those out of the way now.
From what I understand, ext3fs is just ext2 with journaling support, so in the (somewhat rare) event of a system crash you don't have to go through a time-consuming fsck during the next boot. Results in better data protection and more uptime.
If an ext3fs enabled kernel on an ext3 partition needs to go back to a previous kernel for some reason, or say, you forget to compile ext3 into a kernel, any ext2 kernel will still be able to read/write to an ext3 partition, as long as it was cleanly unmounted with the ext3 kernel.
Why not push ReiserFS, XFS, etc? It seems that most of these are not very well proven yet. ext2 is tried and true, kernel support is good, and the new revision adds journaling, so why not stick with ext3?
AFAIK, these are some of the most FAQs about ext3. I wonder how often they'll show up below...
Even if this was to be used to "simulate" a cluster, even that would be fairly useful to some people. If you want to learn to write programs optimized for clustered systems, yet don't have enough capital to be able to access one easily, what can you do?
Well, for one, you can now setup a virtual cluster to test out your apps...
I think we can agree that outlook has always been pretty bleak...
As the well known/. sig goes, '"Outlook not so good." Wow, this 8-ball knows everything! I'll ask about exchange server next!'
Slashdot Mirror
a woody with 0.9.5?! i wonder what will happen when it finally hits 1.0...
Now see, if they had just followed Knuth's example, they wouldn't have this "1.0 Stable Milestone" problem!
So, Moz team, when will we see version 0.9.9.3.1415...?
And because there's only a journal as an addition, you can remount as ext2 after a clean unmount and everything will still work fine.
You're both wrong, it stands for United Pot Smokers!
Fuckers destroyed 4 of my monitors in a row..
Should that say "2.4.6 or 2.4.12+?
I see you're forgetting the 3-foot wing that'll go on its ass, as well as the "body kit" to make it look "sporty".
Exactly! Look, at doodie for example. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay a penny to look at that page.
Well, a CueCat with, umm, force feedback would work... yeah..
Let's have some fun.. who can guess which show this was in?
Nerd 2: Or we can watch Ms. Johnson shower..
Nerd 1: And you call yourself a scientist!
POOF!
You are now a troll butt.

Any thoughts, folks?

You apparently don't remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
If people really want to be UNIX admins, they can go and get something _else_ removed...
Blatant whoring link here for both of the videos.
I take no responsibility for any emotional damage you suffer from these videos.
I'm sure Ballmer does not have a "publicity" bug-- it looks more like ebola or something, and he's not afraid to go out in public with it.

$1.75 is better than $0.
Hell yes, it can get you over 20 minutes on 1-800-collect!
I pity the foo that waits till the stock is delisted!
Damn straight we can associate!
Just think, if you're not paying for Playboy/Spice/etc, and you're seeing porn, what can it be...?
Well, what else-- FOX!
As Marge Simpson once put it, "We hardly noticed, but the Fox network has turned into a hardcore porn channel!"
And how about some info on the linux version?
I've been looking at mirrors, but haven't found it yet. Is the linux test 2 even out yet, or is a date set for it?
Ah, since we're on the subject, perhaps you can tell me:
What the hell is the point of this?
or perhaps 5318008?
and, of course, the root of all evil is c:\windows
outlook for future sales is even bleaker.
