I know, how to try it, thank you very much. But you don't answer my question -- are you trying to say, XFS, JFS, etc. are somehow more reliable than FFS with SoftUpdates enabled? Yes, or no?
If that's your claim (yes), than you will have to offer references.
If it is not (no), than what is your point? The article is about comparing modern filesystems, and FFS with SoftUpdates definetly qualifies, even if it is based on an old technology, which is, by itself, slower than without the enhancement.
Is there anything like EyeToy for anything but the PlayStation2? IMHO, this is the greatest entertainment device ever, and just might put most aerobics instructors out of business -- you play with your entire body and an hour or two provide quite a workout...
When you turn off the speed enhancements, and mount a filesystem like you would when you're doing something important (i.e. mail spools mounted sync), XFS, JFS, and Reiser would totally trounce FFS. No contest.
Everything runs slower, "when you turn off the speed enhancements". Is your point, FFS with SoftUpdates is somehow less reliable than XFS, JFS, or Reiser and should not be used for anything important, while either of those can be used?
YMMV. My mother's luggage got stuck in Frankfurt (Lufthansa's main hub) for 3 days. When they delivered it to her home in Boston, on of the bags was 10 pounds lighter! After three ignored phone calls to Lufthansa's office in Boston's airport (Logan) and a two month correspondence, she got a $50 gift certificate for their inflight duty free -- for about $150 worth of stuff stolen by them.
I bet, there are more dangerous hazardous materials being transported regularly. All this "nuke stuff" just has so much "name recognition", totally unqualified people's opinions suddenly start to matter. The downside of democracy...
None of the dangers you describe will lead to a nuclear explosion. The airplane, or the canon-round will certainly explode, and so might the truck's fuel tank, but the cargo will not. It is depleated nuclear material. And even if it was not, causing a nuclear fission is really difficult. A mere nearby explosion is not enough -- although people, exposed to the stuff (the firefighters), will quickly die...
Why is not there a simple button on each table in each restaurant of more than 5 tables: "Excuse me, waiter, I need something".
The cheapest thing to add, it would remove the irritation of having to catch the waiter's eye, and allow the waiter to know, everyone is fine without constantly looking at all tables.
Airplanes had this for years, but I'm only aware of one restaurant, where such a system is in use.
They have arrested him, but, evidently, later released. Says in this
article:
All the teenager's computers were confiscated by police but the suspect himself was not in custody, [Spokesman for Lower Saxony police Frank] Federau said.
Second question, what could I use that much processing power on my wrist for?
Reliable and personalized weather prediction? Speech generation and recognition? Carry personal and global archives with you -- with quick searches. Detailed mapping of the surrounding area. Laser/hologram generated games, shows, and other entertaintment pointed at your eyes with quality sound aimed into your ears (so as not to disturb others)? Audio and video communication with anyone on the planet (and beyond)?
And last, but not least, the spare cycles can still be donated to SETI@Home, protein folding, and other worthy projects of choice -- those will always be able to use more...
Because those would have to survive liftoff and be light enough for there being enough fuel to accelerate and slow down the whole thing?
Even if possible at all, adding them to the probe would, likely, have costed more than a few dozens of new helicopters...
It is considered likely, that the results of the mission will survive the impact of the landing -- catching it in mid-air just adds some more protection. At a reasonable price.
Yes. I was not clear. I meant to say, Martha was not an insider. Merely acting on insider's information by a non-insider is not in itself a crime in US (it is in some other countries).
Oh, sure! Martha Stewart is facing possible jail time, but Bill Gates merely pays a fine! Maybe my wife is right...
Yeah! I held up a bank and got 12 years, but he drove 20mph over the limit and all he got is a fine?? Mere slap on the wrist! How unfair!
Bill Gates' "crime" is merely failing to report a perfectly proper transaction on time. Marth Stewart used inside information (not in itself a crime in US) and then conspired to cover it up. She may have been a "woman-champion", which is why your wife may sympathize, but her crime is of much bigger scale, than this one.
Actually, all Microsoft requested, was for them to inform me, offering a file named Windows_Source.zip was likely illegal -- by forwarding the Microsoft's letter to me.
But SpeakEasy.net -- the celebrated "geek friendly" (you can run servers) ISP -- shut me down -- without even checking, if MS' allegations were true (I removed the file the day before MS sent their letter to SpeakEasy)!
Trouble was, I was on vacation, so it lasted for a week... They gave me credit for the whole week after I cleared it upon coming back, but I am still fuming.

From FreeBSD, that is... Would be nice to see that compared to Linux' FS-es. As in this earlier benchmark (PDF).

Is universally successfull, 100% law enforcement desireable?
See the man-pages.
There was not nuclear explosion in Chernobil...
So, make that two restaurants...

So, even the Slashdot editors don't RTFA anymore?
How is using a human expert worse than a recording device? Next time Mitnick may be invited to hunt an anti-something activist.
The question is much bigger -- is universal, 100% law enforcement desired?
Why post as an AC, if you are signing your name anyway?
5 is two times smaller than 10. 7 is one time smaller than 7. No?
A heat-problem is not a "given". Modern PDAs are quite powerful, but don't run too hot, for example.
I'd say, trusting Microsoft to run half a million computers in a company (even if the real number is a thousand times smaller) is stupid.

It is -- when done while under oath. Just ask Bill Clinton.

You don't argue, it was intended to be so hijackable by the authors and/or the Mozilla project, do you?
Mozilla's feedback agent (and, perhaps, some other modules), while certainly NOT spyware, fits her/his definition...
