Robinson Crusoe.
Damn, but they knew how to do spoilers back then, the original was published as:
The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pyrates.
Curious how well it performs on mobile systems (laptops, tablets, phones,...) vs. current filesystems (e.g., EXT)? In particular, does battery usage suffer significantly? Are CPU/RAM requirements higher?
Hah! My phone uses btrfs, how insane is that!

Uber is doing a terrific job – but it has to play by the rules
Change the rules.
And the way to do that is by passing the appropriate laws and regulations, not by breaking the existing rules. In a democratic society, rather than a libertarian fantasy, that implies getting people to agree with you, not just doing what you want.
This is all irrelevant. If Uber don't like the law they should lobby to get the law changed. They don't get to say "we don't like the law, so we'll just break it".
That only worked because there were so many of them (and we needed them as potential cannon fodder against soviets).
If your boss (not superior military officer) orders you in writing to break a law you have exactly zero chance of getting off with the "only obeying orders" defense.
(Anyway, that's such old hat, the one that works today is the "I was only giving orders" defense).
And the idea of a supreme troll like you accusing people of "parrot[ing] mindless slogans" makes me laugh.
Barstewart is not my sockpuppet. (My actual sockpuppet is taking a rest as slashdot is so close to brain death as to be no fun any more). I'm not Lennart, I'm considerably older than him (and much less German).
Systemd has some fundamental problems with its architecture, such as its use of binary logging
How is binary logging a "fundamental problem with its architecture"? Any half competent programmer could replace journald with something that logged to a text file in about half a days work.
It has also caused many problems for many users, including computers that don't boot fully, which is among the worst possible software problems.
Which is something that never happened with sysvinit. (Hint -- I've been using sysvinit since SVR3 in 1989).
So when GNOME 3 depends on systemd, it makes GNOME 3 unusable for a great many people. These aren't just any people, too. They're the most talented, valuable and intelligent users. They're the ones who can contribute the most to GNOME and its community.
But, somehow, these "most talented, valuable and intelligent users" are unable to contribute the one thing that would make GNOME 3 independant of systemd -- a working replacement for logind.
The GNOME project only hurts itself by excluding the best possible users, especially when it does so thanks to unnecessary ties to unnecessary and unwanted software like systemd.
If those "ties" were unnecessary they should be easy to undo, right?
Like I said, the quality of the trolls is dropping rapidly.

I know, don't reply to an AC but... what part of the Pacific ocean do you think Europe borders?
French Polynesia, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna and Clipperton Island.
Want to know what bits of the EU are in North America? South America? The Indian Ocean?
Me! Me!
If your data is important you'd be mad to use anything other than raid10.
Amazing.
I've done the same thing with ext3. (ext3 on lvm on mdadm).
Why would a filesystem need to do this stuff, it's the job of the raid or volume manager layer.
No, but Sun are on record as having chosen CDDL primarily because it was GPL-incompatible.

Why are you arguing with yourself, uid 666? Are you insane?
Now I only have to wait for it to appear in Debian stable ...
BTW, in case you didn't already know, slashdot runs on perl5 ...
Is that supposed to be a plus or a minus?
The easy way to do it is to use a different browser when you want to comment on a topic you've modded. Avoids losing mod points by accident.
It's an european vs american problem.
Garrett is Irish.
fact since Matthew Garrett is 22
Garret got his PhD in 2010. I doubt he is 22 years old.
They don't get to say "we don't like the law, so we'll just break it".
They don't legally get to, but in many cases they are making it work.
Yes, many criminals adopt this attitude.
It doesn't mean that they aren't criminals.
Change the rules.

Are you a bank robber, perchance?

Never bet against the laws of thermodynamics or Fred Brooks.
If you want to say nigger, say nigger, you racist piece of shit.
The only thing "wrong" with MSF is that being nicer people than me they'd probably help you if you needed it.

You are not replying to my post.
The claim was, if you had your orders in writing you'd be ok.
That is not true if the orders are to commit a crime.
Yes, he was.
my task was to implement tax calculation code in javascript, so it would update on the page immediately.
If, in order to achieve that task he needs to write a library, he writes the library. He doesn't bitch "somebody else hasn't done my job".
Oh, great. If you have it in writing you can say "I was just obeying orders". In a fucking German accent.
That'll go down well.
Not fair bringing facts to a trollfest.
(And, as it happens I'm one of those popcon reporting Gnome3 on Debian users).

Weak troll -- gnome doesn't log to syslog, does log to journal.
