Remember that XFS is a fairly maure journeling FS, compared to Reiserfs which started for Linux.
I've been playing with XFS (in Wolverine), and XFS rocks!

Grumble... damn slashcode mangled my URLs... grumble...... here's the rant again, with proper URLs..
Those of you who think India is a novice at this stuff, take note of the following.
There is only 1 major company out there today which sells high quality satellite imagery, and that is Space Imaging. News organizations, governments, your favorite dictator, etc. buy hi-res imagery from them. Now, did you know that 4 of the 7 satellites used by Space Imaging are Indian satellites? Betcha didn't know that, didja! Don't believe me? Check it out for yourself.
India may be poor, Third World(tm), etc. etc. but it is making progress. Accept it, and we'll all get along just fine. No point wetting your bed at the sight of Indian rockets blasting off into space.

TiVo is legally correct when they say that they are not selling any private data. They are not. The files that get uploaded from your TiVo every night do not contain any identifying information (I'm talking about the files that monitor the remote keypresses, etc.).
But there is a catch here. TiVo uses UUNET dialup access to upload their files. If I were an advertising company, I would head straight to UUNET and get their caller-ID logs. Remember, UUNET has not given any privacy assurances, and neither has TiVo said anything about third parties (in this case, the advertisers and UUNET) being bound by their "privacy guarantee".
OK, now why does this bother me? Because I'm not getting compensated for this! Heck, if these advertising companies wanted my viewing habits (down to my favorite show, PBR), they should compensate me for this. Otherwise, I'm not willing to part with this information!
