  1. Re:Ubuntu 9.10? on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They employ the main developer of ext2, ext3 and ext4.

    He probably knows a lot about it.

  2. Re:XFS performance highly variable on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 1

    This doesn't matter to Google. Google wants to keep as much data as possible. ;-)

  3. Re:It's Not Hans on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 1

    Actually people are still working on getting it in mainline and they are making progress, although slowly if I'm not mistaken.

  4. Re:Btrfs? on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 1

    If they choose for the ext-family upgrade path, btrfs is also still possible in the future. You can even do an inplace upgrade from ext2, 3 (and probably 4, but I didn't see it in the text where I read about this feature) to btrfs.

    Not that it matters, I'm fairly sure they don't do inplace upgrades. Atleast with ext4, if you want to benefit the most from performance and features, if I remember correctly, you should do a new filesystem, not an inplace upgrade.

  5. Re:Use of commas. on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 1

    I always thought that punctuation like a ',' is (among other things) like a pause in speech. If you look at it like that, you can add a ',' anywhere you want to pause. You can pause before the 'and'.

  6. Re:Time for a backup? on Google Switching To EXT4 Filesystem · · Score: 1

    Their is the problem, I don't trust anyone with my data.

  7. Re:HTML5 for the win? Sorry, that's not a codec. on YouTube Revamp Imminent? · · Score: 1

    100% in mine. I also have a TV based on Linux and DVB-player based on Linux and carnavigation-device based on Linux and a mobile-phone based on Linux (N900 from Nokia uses Maemo and is based on Debian actually). Most of the websites I visit are running on Linux.

    So from my point of view I think Linux is doing pretty good marketshare wise.

  8. Re:Only management is fooled on What To Expect From Windows 7 SP1 · · Score: 1

    Let me guess the company that sold your company the database program doesn't even exist anymore ?

    So no one has the source.

  9. Re:One person's myth is another person's fact. on Myths About Code Comments · · Score: 1

    I have a feeling he creates lots of classes, probably so many classes you can't even see the forest anymore.

    Please, keep it simple.

    I use geany with PHP and VC-plugin for git. Works very well as well.

  11. Re:A Linux Bios on Preventing My Hosting Provider From Rooting My Server? · · Score: 1

    Having your hardware tied to your encryption always just sounds like a bad idea to me. What happends when something dies ? You loose the data. While it's always good to have a backup, you will/could still loose your lastest version of the data.

  12. Re:If they do this.. on Preventing My Hosting Provider From Rooting My Server? · · Score: 1

    I work at a colo, we sell half-racks (which have seperate locks/keys) for colo (no smaller), everything else is dedicated/managed (read: our hardware, no hands-on for the customers)

    Almost sounds like you are in a feedback-loop with the purity test. How low can you go. ;-)

  15. Re:Better fix it somehow on Helping Perl Packagers Package Perl · · Score: 4, Informative

    Please, have a look at dh-make-perl. The Debian (and thus Ubuntu) way isn't really that bad.

    # apt-get install dh-make-perl ; dh-make-perl --cpan Your::CPAN::Package --install

  16. Re:IE6? Really? on Firefox 3.5 Now the Most Popular Browser Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Atleast the standard defines more about it, which is can only be a good thing.

    Actually with coLinux that might work (if you would want to create a Linux-plugin for Firefox on Windows)

    I also 'like' how we introduced a whole new word in the now-current languages to go with all kinds practices that came with it: apartheid

    Also I'm still wondering why the Dutch police needs as many inquries for telephone-numbers and IP-addresses, etc.

    Just lookup CIOT on the RIPE-website.

  20. Re:Of course being in China, on Microsoft Steals Code From Microblogging Startup · · Score: 1

    I don't agree.

    China has many political prisoners. Many of those also have a death penalty.

    Some say, that these prisoners are only still kept because their organs are worth money.

    They wait until some rich guy from Europe or the US needs a new organ and then they shoot the prisoner in the head and use his organs in a transplant-procedure.

    I think that's a different scale (quality if you like)

  21. Re:Of course being in China, on Microsoft Steals Code From Microblogging Startup · · Score: 1

    It's even more stupid than that.

    Some say, even though the US-citizens and organisations are buying from the Chinese, their is more money flowing in the direction of the US instead of China.

    Think about that one.

  22. Re:Open source software and govt's on French Military Contributes To Thunderbird 3 · · Score: 1

    First of all, access to the source, doesn't mean they can do their own build. Thet are not allowed to do so, or don't receive instructions how to. So they can't check if the binaries they are running at the right one.

    What you also need is good file-formats, something Microsoft doesn't deliver on. Their may now be a spec for a number of Microsoft Office file formats, but geez, have you looked at some of the pictures showing the spec ?

    Only difference is, the start up of Microsoft Office is better.

  24. Re:It means a lot when Defense systems move over on French Military Contributes To Thunderbird 3 · · Score: 1

    I don't think they learned their lessons. We sitll see security reports of code in Windows 7/Windows 2008 which have: "also affected windows 2000, windows xp", etc. So it's still the same code and their haven't been any good changes. I don't think they are doing a good job.
