Welcome to Ottawa. Some people say the night life sucks, but what do they know. I moved here in 1984 after I got my doctorate from Waterloo, and I just love it. Welcome.
Personally, I'm waiting for a major class action suit against Microsoft about their alleged reliability. What's the possibility of launching a class action against them for holding back software development for 15 years?
One hundred and fifty years ago, the Anglican Church demanded a a new translation of it's Bible because, it claimed, there were at least 30000 errors in it. They never got it. There are still people who are not Catholic. Shame. The Vulgate contains no errors. The same thing is happening in the Linux movement. People from windows environements expecting windows environments from Linux. So, Windows has 65K+ bugs. Good! Don't expect Linux to solve them. In fact, when you all come storming to Linux, check your windows bagage at the door. We don't want it.
I myself am not into science fiction, or fiction of any sort at all. I'm into historical accounts, both past present and future. That's why I prefer Star Trek; both the the television series' and the books. So, no to science fiction, yes to future history.
What gives these guys the right to give out any sort of certification at all? Who are these guys? What are their credentials? As for the Virtual "University"... I think the quotes say it all. I didn't go through more than 11 years in two universities and go through a very rigourous process to be awarded my doctorate for nothing. I doubt that these people are certified to do anything.
Really. There is never an excuse to use any Microsoft product whatsoever. Unless, of course you want to end up in Hell!
I don't see your problem. fsck is a very smark programme and whatever fixes it does genereally does not destroy anything. In may case, I designed a system that is running in an environment that is subject to power failures. When it comes back on line it generally reports only a new missing blocks and i-nodes. My software is smart enough to know how to this sort of thing.
As for your particular application, if you need the data to be on the disc as soon as it is written, youn programmes can always call sync(). Not only is it a command, but it is part of the interface library.

They even think they invented to Turing Machine.
As far as CP/M goes, they can have it! OOps! We've got it...MSDOS, WINDOWS.... et al.
I agree totally with this comment. I am a consultant offering my Linux expertise to anyone who will pay. In short: I make a living from Open Source.
I don't make a lot...yet....but I expect to move into Bill Gates' mansion any day now.

Thanx for your 'observation.' I too went and investigated the claims and was nearly driven to sending them a nasty letter!
These days, after may years in the Unix 'wilderness' I've come to the conclusion that there are always better strategies.
Dell will get theirs. Unless they repent, of course.
