I guess that grabbing Time-Warner wouldn't be bad though. Googling through CNN would be the best thing since sliced bread. If I had an RSS feed of news stories that I found interesting, I'd be thrilled.
I wouldn't call this evil... I would call this, reducing the stock price so new investors can get a piece... Didn't they see what happened to Time-Warner? Hasn't Time-Warner been rueing purchasing AOL since about 6 months after they did so?
You, sir, are 100% correct. Not only are you 100% correct, but I've been trolling around these boards since this thing began seeing if ANYBODY would ever hit on this.
That is the ONLY thing that these guys have the power to do. I'll see no disruption in service. Period, end of story. The only thing that will happen is... just about nothing.
Anybody who thinks that this will make "The Internet fall apart" has no clue how the Internet works.
To those posters saying that the EU will mandate that ISPs change their DNS servers to point to the EU's ones... you're discounting the fact that businesses will just point their DNS servers wherever they please.
My prediction is that I won't even be inconvenienced for a day with this. I'm not going to say whether or not the EU is right on this one... but I will say that this approach is ineffective at best (and hostile... if I were an American politician, I'd make sure that this NEVER happened because of the approach that's been taken).
No. You can throw around trivia. The US funded ARPANet and the development of the IP protocols. That's all that there is to it. These guys want a couple of American servers. How about I go and steal a couple of computers from your country, and we'll call it even.
The US built the Internet with US funds. If the EU seriously wants to run the show, they don't have to be jerks about it. What exactly do they want control of again?
Domain name registration? Start your own registrar. Get everyone to use your alternate DNS servers. Compete. Protocols? Build your own network, or get some seats in a standards body.
Seriously, making an international issue of this is stupid. It screams "we're jealous, we want control." Build another network. "But we can't." Fine, then don't. I don't care, just don't try to force your agenda on us.
People act like the Internet is some sort of revolutionary battleground. A new frontier. The Internet is... a really big computer network. Internetworking is cool. The Internet is cool. Is building another one silly? Perhaps, but this is still worse.

There's no need to end IP law, there's just a reason to regard the fact that a 14 year old girl with a copy of gnutella isn't doing billions of dollars in damage to the industry, justifying them mercilessly jackhammering her.
All of that aside, we're talking about the same industry that brought us CD price fixing, and has been hashing out manufactured garbage and expecting us to buy it since at least the 1950's. They tell you that their product is good, and you listen (or, more accurately, people like that 14 year old girl listen, which is the entire market segment that they need in order to make a profit).
Why would you go to the video store to rent a DVD if you had a set-top box that allowed you to download the movie from a central location and have it immediately?
IE, something akin to pay-per-view, with a better interface whereby you could just download any movie you wanted that ever existed. $5-10 a pop and it's downloaded to a hard drive on your box. It sounds like a winner to me, even if it is locked down with heinous DRM.
Maybe we should start detonating H-bombs above ground again to see if we can learn something new from that ?
It might be fun actually. I think that we should to atmospheric nuclear tests on big holidays. It could be like fireworks, only much more entertaining.
Yeah, we just changed servers. I should updated it.
Wow, you know what you're talking about. Thank goodness someone in this discussion does.
I should have figured when you started pointing to links to papers (I mention the same ones in another post actually), and knew your way around citeseer.
I get a bit frazzled whenever someone posts anything of significance to Slashdot. A bunch of people with little knowledge on the topic tend to chime in. Kudos on chiming in and actually being educated about the material at hand:-D I wish more folks like you would post here.
Oh yeah, fsck runs much more quickly on log structured filesystems than on conventional filesystems. Journaling has its own overheads, if you're going to jump onto that track.
I think that the big difference is that Harvey Danger has had major recording deals in the past. They've been on national tours with major record labels. On the other hand, I've never heard of Landline.
Jay M. Tenenbaum gave a talk at AAAI-05 on the Semantic Web, asking people working in Artificial Intelligence to take a more active interest in its development. In his view, the idea is to provide systems with the type of data that would be exceptionally good for artificially intelligent systems to work with, but that without the support of the AI community, we would never arrive at that.

Uhmm, if n = 0, that is not true.
a^0 = 1
b^0 = 1
c^0 = 1
1 != 2
So, I would submit that that might be true for all nonzero values of n.
What can I say? People will do stupid things, but I still won't notice a disruption in service.
Oh, wait.

Ok... so, is Google evil now?

If "very involved" means "marrying the project manager," then you're right.
Not a problem. It's impressive that a second year UG would even know what a log filesystem is. I didn't learn what one was until grad school.
I was sort of assuming that one had these already. DVD players were expensive once too you know.

I don't have tv, so I'll assume that I just missed the media storm around this.
Was there one? This is linked off of p2pnet. Did anybody mention this in any forum that "the public" will even notice?

Oh, rather, we changed servers, and when we changed servers, I changed my user name. And s/updated/update/g.
Yeah, we just changed servers. I should updated it.

There are tons of follow-up papers. I think that I've read 4 this semester where someone used some form of log file system.
Is... they're still around.
Oh yeah, fsck runs much more quickly on log structured filesystems than on conventional filesystems. Journaling has its own overheads, if you're going to jump onto that track.
I don't believe that garbage collection is the major performance issue with Java. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not.
Please refer to this post for a couple papers on log file systems.
Ideally a cleaner will go in, after which it will be nice and clippy to read as well.

Whatever you say boss.
Actually.
Log file systems are faster, safer, and just better. Period.
