Is this ever going to replace ext4? The ext series of file systems are 'good enough' for most people, so unless it has some epic benchmarks I can't imagine a huge rush to reformat.
Maybe that's what drives file system programmers insane. The knowledge that for the most part, it's going nowhere. FAT12 is still in use, for Christ's sake.
To clarify; no court case was involved, no real legal threats were made. Your analogy is completely ridiculous, being slow in complying with a code disclosure clause and, erm "running an illegal FTP server" are so dissimilar as to be ludicrous.
I'm not entirely sure you understand how reality works. The code was based on the GPL; the code was released. Somehow, Microsoft is _still_ a villain. I don't get it.
I agree. This has been a terrible set of articles which makes the community as a whole look like a bunch of irrational, immature children. Microsoft finally did what Slashdot has been demanding they do for years, and somehow this too is a 'bad thing'. This is worse than the articles complaining that IE6 was finally being put down.
Apple's devices are also virtually 100% secure, just like OS X. Having a device that has an unproven security record lie and say it is an iPhone or iPod (which neither of which has had a malware issue since their inception) is a disservice to Apple's users, so it's completely understandable why Apple would put the kibosh on the matter for good.
Why wouldn't they? "Oh hey, we have the option to stop fake traffic being spammed through our network untraceably. Hmm, better not turn it on, who knows what might happen?!"
"A UK organisation is threatening an American with legal action over uploading images that are public domain in the US to an American server â" unambiguously, in established US law, not a copyright violation of any sort. I wonder how the case will go. "
Well done for completely glossing over that the images themselves are British, located in Britain. Thanks too for the strong implication that US law is the only law.
It's always fun when you meet a stereotype.

"remove" vs "innate", eh?

I reckon this is some very nice humour.
