OK, I thought the Abrams could go over 50. I stand corrected. And yes, I was ignoring bumper heights just for simplicity.
The only point I was making is that the heavier vehicle will not be decelerated as much as the lighter vehicle. The parent to my post said that the weight doesn't matter.
Agreed. I was talking about "safer for the occupant", not "safer for the other guy".
"Buying a car with the idea of plowing through other cars is an offensive tactic," Yeah, but buying a heavy car with the idea of surviving a crash caused by a wreckless driver in a relatively light car isn't offensive at all, it's defensive. It's all in how you drive the thing. What really gets me is the people in little cars who think nothing of pulling out right in front of a large truck and assume that the truck can stop as quickly as they can.
Well, some would ask why anyone would put oracle on an fs of any type. But if you do put it on an fs, as many do, where's the problem in using metadata journaling?
As for a full data journal, yeah it's a big waste for oracle. But simpler databases which don't keep transaction journals could benefit from the fact that reiserfs4 not only journals data, but (via a userspace api) can guarantee atomicity.
Not bullshit. The parent said the weight doesn't matter so I gave an example where everything was equal except for the weight. The kinetic energy of a yugo going 50 is nothing compared to the energy of the tank going the same speed.
Take two equally heavy cars and put a crumple zone on the front of only one of them, then crash them head-on at equal speeds. Now who wins? It's a draw. The cars "share" the crumple zone.
I'm not saying that crumple zones aren't crucial, but to say that weight doesn't matter is ludicrous.
"Larger cars are safer than smaller cars not because they weigh more, but because they have more room to let the car crumple to absorb the energy created by a collision."
We could test that theory. You drive a Yugo and I'll give you the crumple "advantage" by driving an M1 Abrams tank. We'll drive into each other head-on each going 50.
I think you're exaggerating the difficulty of learning to use a new groupware client. There are office workers out there who used to use typewriters and mechanical accounting machines. Most of them adapted just fine to ascii terminals, faxes, email and spreadsheets.
Integrating apps with proprietary sw is as difficult as the proprietor wants it to be. Look at the hoops the Samba project has had to jump through. It would appear that in some parts of the world they've reached a critical mass where compatibility with MS doesn't matter any more. If MS wants to get in this game, maybe they should write the adapter or, heaven forbid, open up their formats and protocols.
Are you saying that MS gets a crash report for non-MS apps and that Gates is taking the blame for those crashes? Or are you saying that Windows is stable but MS apps crash a lot?

But those giant bastards have infringed so many of our individual rights that I don't care. They may be able to scare some people away from sharing on the Net at large, but it ain't gonna solve their problems. They're gonna have to find a way to surcharge photons and electrons if they expect to get what they see as their fair profit. DVD burners and VPNs will keep copying alive.
We need copyright reform. Copyright have a direct effect on everyone, but benefit only a few. The scumbags have proved that those laws can be changed, so let's change 'em again. Let's change 'em big.

"Linux filesystems do not become fragmented?" Yes, under certain usage patterns, they can become fragmented.
"Or fragmentation does not have an adverse effect on Linux filesystems?" It does.
But defragging ext2 is almost never needed because it allocates blocks intelligently. FAT (no idea about NTFS) was just stupid about allocation and that's why so many people think it's necessary to defrag.
And defragging is risky. It's much safer to do a dump/restore.
Several reasons. Here are a couple. It takes less time for the heads to seek from the inside to the outsideof the platter. Smaller platters can be spun at higher rpms without flying apart.

"Hey, what X terminal software do you use? I've used several X servers for windows, but there always seem to be nasty technical issues." Most stuff sucks on windows. Exceed was pretty good though, better than many other remote guis.
"We're choosing sides now? I'm just nitpicking your claim that X allows you access to a lot of "heterogeneous" systems."
Choosing sides? You named this thread "terminate the terminal" and spewed some ridiculous nonsense about why X is obsolete. You should have been modded troll, but you weren't. If you want to pick nits, go somewhere else. I said that X is valuable in heterogeneous environments and I stand by that statement. Your own claim that X is a part of your own set of apps just validates what I said.
Then you go on to say how Citrix, a thin client doesn't work very well. Why are you telling me this? And that a faster network would help? Well it wouldn't hurt. And that given a preference you would choose to have the computer at the desktop. I'm speechless.
Or in the context of 9/11 (which is obviously the impetus for this change), "guy who can fell tall building with a single boxcutter". What high tech measures could have been used to prevent those attacks? Oh, I dunno...maybe CLOSING THE COCKPIT DOOR!
I think the security experts need to learn the 80/20 rule.

"X can't possibly help you access a Windows system. Windows applications just don't know how to talk to an X server. "
We use X to access *nix systems from Windows. But there's no reason that a Windows app can't be implemented as an X client just as some Mac apps are.
"This solution sucks up a lot of network bandwidth, but I guess modern networks have a lot to spare."
Now it sounds like you're arguing my side. Yeah, thin client often does suck up a lot of bandwitdh, not to mention cpu cycles for encoding/decoding. X will often use much less bandwidth/CPU. For example, just clicking a checkbox causes a significant redraw with a vnc/citrix client, but only a couple light messages with X.
