    Good point

  2. Re:But what are the weekday numbers like? on Google Chrome Becomes World's No. 1 Browser · · Score: 0

    I don't know how relevant this argument is since now it's possible to install Chrome on the local profile of a Windows computer and you can use a "portable" version of Firefox for non privileged users. I am currently writing this at work using Chrome in a locked down environment. Internet Explorer cannot really be forced any more.

    Having one filesystem across multiple drives IS possible. Hardlinks spanning multiple filesystems is not.

    funwithBSD is 100% correct about hard links it is quite clear that nobody is referring to Windows.

    Unfortunately I agree. I used to love Android when it was at version 2.x but I have since been using an iPhone (provided by my employer). Now that I have seen all the malware floating around the Android Market, I don't think I will go back. I'm not anti-Google. I use a lot of Google services and I'm not one of those privacy concerned people. But I do care about installed crap software on my devices whether it be a phone of a computer.

  11. Re:ZFS v31+ at last? on Solaris 11 Released · · Score: 1

    And yet we still don't have a single open cross platform filesystem. Sadly ntfs and vfat are the only filesystems that will work on all modern OSs.

    Don't worry. I'm young and I couldn't figure out how to turn the damned thing off either. I just pulled the virtual plug on it and never looked back.
