I would also recommend this more up to date talk embedded in this podcast which talks about how the use of GRUB2/GPLv3 is OK now and how different Linux distributions plan to handle secure boot (you should also download the slides):
And the value of bitcoins will drop like a brick when these get these devices get on the market ? And continue dropping until the price of running such a device is higher than the bitcoins it creates ?
You can use libeatmydata to disable the many fsyncs in dpkg which will obviously solve that problem, it might be smart to make a btrfs snapshot first. So if something bad does happen, you can go back to a working snapshot.
I could be wrong but, I think the bind9_dlz uses which uses samdb which is based on ldb which supports LDAP and tdb or sqlite3 as a backend.
If LDAP is supported, then I guess it doesn't matter, it can still use LDAP as the storage instead of a directory with files. Thus no replication.
I wouldn't be surprised if tdb also supports ctdb, which is clustered trivial database (it uses a cluster filesystem to store it on) thus it would also not need to replicate any files.
Yes, this is really cool. Opus really is the best of all and it's royalty free and had an open source implementation. Yes, it was partly done by Skype and the people from http://xiph.org/ thus it is BSD-licensed.

It isn't stupid, it is just buggy firmware. That's what is stupid.
Anyway... I use 64-bit Flash on Linux.
Actually, I don't think I have any 32-bit software installed on this 64-bit Linux machine.
But did it still work 3 versions of Word and Excel later ?
I think it didn't work so well, right ?
Maybe that is a reason people stopped doing it ?
Of course this wasn't an apples for apples comparison, there was no iPad ;-)
That's actually called: big.LITTLE :-)
Those won't be buying ARM that is for sure.
Because Windows RT does not support any of these things. Only the Intel version does.
That also means, if it's Bring-Your-Own-Device situation they'll be bringing the ARM-version.
This is going to be fun to watch.
I think he does claim certain people had success with spinrite with SSD.
Or maybe because we eat certain things these days our digestive system adapt to how to process the food we give it. Could that maybe be the reason ?
And I wouldn't be surprised if it is really hard for our digestive system to switch back to the previous mode.
Sorry, I meant to mention: solar thermal energy with molten salt storage.
We already have a plant in Spain which can provide 24/7 solar power. Well, on some days, very few days.
But you have to start somewhere.
"Fusion nuclear (when it comes online later this century)"
I'm afraid fusion is still always 50 years away, it was 10 years ago and it was the same 15 or maybe even 20 years ago.
Let's just say, it isn't a easy task.
It might happen, I hope it happends.
But the last few years budgets have been lowered for fusion.
How about hydropower and solar thermal energy ?
Wave power, maybe ?
I can see how interacting with other people is not really a problem, but what about research papers ?
Are there any interresting math or technical research papers from Russia published in Russian for example that people would want to be able to read ?
And the value of bitcoins will drop like a brick when these get these devices get on the market ? And continue dropping until the price of running such a device is higher than the bitcoins it creates ?
And there are Pirate Party members in some German states I believe ?
It depends on your needs.
Take for example the top500, if I'm not mistaken more than 50% of that uses Lustre as the filesystem. Which is obviously Linux based.
I think both Ceph ("inspired" by Lustre) and btrfs are interresting and I'm sure they'll be more than production ready next year.
Hopefully with bcache in the mainline kernel too.
The kernel doesn not support AD, you should look at Samba 4.
You can use libeatmydata to disable the many fsyncs in dpkg which will obviously solve that problem, it might be smart to make a btrfs snapshot first. So if something bad does happen, you can go back to a working snapshot.
Have considered Ceph ?

Active directory does not use SQL.
I don't think it's true (anymore).
As an example most of the networking research, like CoDel to fight Bufferbloat, is done and implemented first on Linux.
Same for ARM64, USB3 and other things, first implementation was in Linux.
Microsoft publishes the specifications of their protocols so other business and organisations can implement them, because the EU made them do so.
Firefox isn't more of an OS than any other browser, but of course there is also the Boot2Gecko / Firefox OS, now that is Firefox as an OS. :-)
You want to go back to an area where you need to install things as seperate downloads ? Similair to Real Audio player, Quicktime player and so on ?
Yes, this is really cool. Opus really is the best of all and it's royalty free and had an open source implementation. Yes, it was partly done by Skype and the people from http://xiph.org/ thus it is BSD-licensed.
What more could you want ?
