It's part of a Intel/Microsoft-led conspiracy to maintain their respective business models.
Microsoft, and other software excreters write bigger, fatter, slower code in order for Intel (and AMD, ATI, nVidia) to be able to sell bigger, faster, more wasteful processors to make those software excretions look good. After all, what would be the incentive to buy new hardware if the software vendors came out with smaller, faster code that ran better on existing hardware? You can call it a symbiotic/parasitic relationship designed to suck you dry of your hard earned money.
Don't bother with the tin foil hat comebacks. I told people the whole "New Economy" and Internet fad thing a few years ago was full of it - no one believed me. Now they do...
Today the Internet is nothing but a bunch of web sites with advertising, pop-ups, spam, worms, viruses, theft (of music, movies and software) and loads of crap.
I moved my domains off of Network Solutions years ago. Ever since they went to that stupid web-based UI and we ended up with 100 accounts to manage 100 domains - frickin' frackin' fsckin' idiots!!!
I finally got HDTV through the local cable company a couple of weeks ago. All of, or most of, the 'new' shows are broadcast in HD format. The image is awesome. All I ever watch now are the HD channels. Lord of the Rings, FotR on HDTMN was a treat. Of course, couple of nights ago, the HD box crapped out and they are supposed to come by and fix it tomorrow...:-(
Er, ahm, I just don't get it... Why would I want a filesystem to be like this? How would it "open up a whole new world of information availability"? Mebbe me wee brain doesn't get pablum-based marketing speak. Someone please clarify... How would, or why would, this change the way I store and retrieve my documents, photos, etc.? Would the computer somehow read my mind and keep things organized for me? Or would I still have to type in document, photo, etc. names and keep them organized in categories like Proposals, Invoices, Grand Canyon Rafting Trip, etc.? I already do this using folders, etc. Or is this all much like eye candy that the Longhorn (cowpies!) UI is supposed to have?
No you Linux dweeb, they sent all 1's pointed head to tail, one after the other. 1's aren't as fat as 0's and thus slip right down the middle of the fibre without bonking off the edges.
