  1. Re:Why? on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Won't Fit On a CD · · Score: 1

    Yeah, why do we bother extending instruction sets - it's not like we care about efficiency - power, or otherwise, these days. With all due respect, FUCK YOU SIR. VLC does it the right way, supporting every possible CPU at it's optimum. BTW, I don't hate PA - I run FC15 FFS, it's just that it could use improvement.

    That is configuration dependent. FC15 handles it gracefuly.

    Or, as in my case, overclock mind and body, and start building defences like the project plan is Great Wall v2.0. The result is one hell of a bent conciousness (seriously, I almost fell in love with an AI once), very well defended, very fast and very, very, sickeningly abstract thinking (think (Futamura projections and construction calculus) while (watering the flowers at school, (because the math teacher asked me))). And a lot of painful lonelyness and unvented sexuality (most fetishes and perversions are quite familiar, I've been through them as phases). No, it's not the same as most of you would think - you guys most probably started looking for girls ~13, I was horny like a pack of rabbits at age 9, it took me a couple of months to get into hard core porn. I'm a few months short of 18, one boring intercourse under my belt, and with a drawer filled with perscription and not so persrciption drugs to cope with it all. And I'm in love with my therapist... (Well, I guess many would fall, if just for her looks, but I've seen much more and fallen much harder.)

    That would be reimplementing CSD as in HP-UX.

    Implement symlink virtual filesystem. Loopmount XML conf file to get symlink tree. Done.

  10. Re:/bin, /sbin had their functions on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 1

    /proc and /sys are more than devices. they go in /system along with /dev. /tmp is system global - users have their own, but the system also gets one - mouch more secure. /var has much more than logs - it stays where it is. Maybe include /tmp. /root is optional. /usr is UNIX Shared Resources. User folders are not UNIX components. Put them in /var if you must. /media and /mnt are mountpoints for ejectable media. Goes to special folder in /tmp (temporary mount point, get it?). /shared already exists in FSHS. It's called /pub.

  11. Re:/bin, /sbin had their functions on Fedora Aims To Simplify Linux Filesystem · · Score: 1

    I wish the vfs layer supported Context Sensitive Directories, like HP-UX. And parametric symlink files with env variable binding like Domain/OS.

    If only we could manage disk volumes logically, instead of partitioning them geometrically. OTOH, LVM has sucky admin tools, IMHO.

    Dual mode phones have been presented. Frequency is even less of an issue. It's mostly DSP code and an extra capacitor or two. Otherwise, I agree.

    Removing the floppy? It was on it's way out, anyway. Firewire? The same thing they are practically killing off, with no good reason, as we speak? Retina display? The one with the defects? Multi-touch is an old concept, as far as touchpads go. Pointing device gestures - even more so. Wasn't it Amazon that pressured Apple into the DRM free market? (I may be wrong here.)
