Looking back to the old benchmark on a slow CPU with JFS, the reading od 1398 100k files took just under a second, 200 times faster than next "competitor".
This is transfer rate of 140Mbyte/s, some 20 times faster than my current 5200rpm Maxtor and Quantum drives.

Effect of cashing? Why only on JFS?
Quite opposite. The kids will learn the value of not being monitored, and won't grow lethargic to future attempt of control.
BUT! Notice substatial difference.
Parents care for their children, because they love them. Govenrment will never love you or your children. They might love your money and servility. While govs are obliged to serve for the money they are getting from us, the dark side of some causes them slipping to tendencies to use power and entrusted money to extort more money and assume more power for their own benefit and prosperity.
Even aside from this aspect, while I finance you, you are answerable for what you are doing no matter how often and using which means I check you - whether you are my child or government official.
If you fail and misuse my money (for lunch that I did not authorize or for government control spying on me), it's up to me what I'll do. If you are my kid, I will perhaps still finance you, just cause you are MY kid. If you are government official, time to stop financing you and get somebody more honest in replacement.
Because, honestly, we will still love our kids but we will ever hardly love such government.

The IPv4 shortage has many dire implications. I would hope that I have a right to have my personal mail server and my personal web server and ftp server. I feel quite uncomfortable with my personal stuff being kept anywhere outside my locked house. With current IPv4 is is not always possible. Assingning dynamic IP became the norm and static IP are either unbearably expensive, or even prohibited in residential areas.
Owners of the static IP ranges seem to be the king of internet universe, that can dictate price, conditions and force you to run your server off their premisses (for a fee).
Can somebody post details, how bad can be the censorship implications ov IPv6? I think, that the contents tags ccould be actually bogus, so that contents-based censorship might become ineffective.
How difficult would it be to stop a packets on the border? How many paths out of the country are there?
That study seems to show, that the exponenital nature as well as bulk of the code comes mainly from drivers. Some subsystms, e.g. FS seems to have actually decreasing LOC.
Shortly, supported hardware grows exponentially.
Notice, that if the hardware driver development grew linearly, the cumulative amount of drivers would be quadratic. Since the rate of adding hardware drivers is probably a little bit faster than linear, the curve seems to be quadratic to exponetial.
This is far from being signs of bloat disease. This is actually quite healthy grow.

The best solution I could come up with is not be one dedicated conference SW, but rather set of capabilities that enable to place any X client application into a conference , e.g. gimp, dia, wordprocessor or local webcam and its display.
1. The first step would be to generate equivalent of HP SharedX.
This would allow to redirect an X-window not only to one X server, but to broadcast it to multiple X-terminals. This would be already workable solution, provided that there is a interface longing out all but one terminal at the time for keyboard/mouse input.
2. The second step would be to multithread the conference enabled application, so that every mouse and keyboard could have its current position and could concurrently draw, paint, write text and do some limited commands.
3. The third part would be to add voice input/output to the X protocol exchange. This is already a problem: You can play a game on a remote computer, but how do you get your sound back home?
Are some people working on this problem?
4. Mixing sounds. Currently under linux it is mostly exclusive, although some sound mixing software exists. Conference audio needs to make two or three preferred speakers audible and suppress the noise from other places.
5. Adding some moderator control pannel, so that he can suppress some participants that shout while other are speaking or otherwise disturb the conference.
I gess, that he did not mean to say that the link is broken. He means, that while the mail claims, that there are comparisons of XFS to other journaling FS, which is worong. It compares another journaling fs (ReiserFS) with non-jurnaling ext2fs, instead.
Heat: Straight (non semiconducting) carbon nanotubes conduct heat way better than copper or any other conventional conductor. Moreover, Carbon nanotubes can withstand way higher temperatures than silicon.
Yield: This problem grows with number of transistors with little effect imposed by the way you stack them. >
Interference: Is I believe the problem that is actually solved with carbon nanotubes. It appears that natively they conduct well along the tube and isolate in perpendicular direction.
With current planar layout of siicon chips, the wiring becomes a real problem. With spatial chips, wiring problems will be still there but will enter into different dimension.
For instance 2-d 256MBit 0.15um RAM uses about some 8x9mm space, out of which 75% is wires.
3D 256Mbit RAM would on the same technology would
take up 0.5x0.5x0.125mm. In other terms, 8x9x4mm 3D RAM would have 1TBit capacity. This needs 37-bit address to be byte-addressable.
Carbon structures can withstand way higher
temperatures than silicon.
Probably carbon nanotube will generate less heat for the same performance, because it moves lower charges via better conductors on a shorter distance. Hoowever since your processor is only part of your lapop and your processing requirements will increase, and your laptop will only get thinner, not smaller (for the screen size), it will dissipate perhaps only half of current energy.
The carbon nanotubes will get much hotter, just because they can. Probably the CPU core will easily be able to reach betwern 400 and 600 dec C.
That can be efectively distributed using carbon nanotube heatsink, so there will be no burrning hot spots on your laptop.
BTW, that is another applicatin of carbon nanotubes - very effective heatsinks. What conducts electricity efficiently often conduct also heat wery well. Heatsinks were will be probably the first carbon nanotube techology in your laptop.

Perhaps you meant communist state. Communism is not anarchism and the state remains Communist's tool. According Marx state is "Organized violence of the governing class exercised on the other class(es)." and Communism is just the same with owrkers as the governing class.
And this violence was (and is) dully implemented in all the Communist states. There was no abuse of a nice Communist theory, just planned, carefull implementation. If you claim to know Communist Manifesto and State and Revolution, read them again and add to your reading Marx's Capital. It seems to be written with nicer words than the reality, but it's all there. I'm surprised that somebody's mainstreame media nformation can be in this case less misleading than reading the originals.
Your Previous posts refers to the true Communism as per K. Marx. However, that was not stateless at all. K. Marx would never agree.
Definition of state according K.Marx:
"State is an organized form of violence of the governing class against the governed class"
adding that, in case of Communism the governing class is the worker's class.
That's all. No service to the nation, no responisble stewardship over subjects/citizens, no ideals. Just violence. That's what the communism really was, is and will be - sorry, but just as projected by K. Marx.
The planned bloodshed and other "difficulties", that's all right, that is as per both Marx and Lenin. Not Hitler - he was bad, all right, but was prommising world domination without bloodshed.
The other subject on Capitalism wining over reactionary royalty and feudalism by progrssive arguments is not quite right either.
Depending on the monarch, some monarchies were worse and some were rather better - like Austria/Germany. And if not for the World War I. "argument", the people could not be really persueaded that capitalism of even democracy was better. Actually, Germany was much worse off and in crisis between wars in deep democratic capitalism, and the same democracy brought Hitler as a "solution" in fair elections.
