Actually leaving/boot as ext2 is a pretty good idea. When/boot is ReiserFS you have to remount the file system with the notail option before you copy stuff to/boot. Your way prevents you from screwing up and forgetting to do this.

It's pretty easy to upgrade to ReiserFS assuming you have enough free space. Take a look at man resize2fs. Just use resize2fs to make a new partition and copy everything to the new partition. Then make the old partition into a reiserfs partition and copy everything back (though you have to make sure you mount the ReiserFS partition with the notail option to copy/boot correctly). You also have to make sure it is mounted notail any other time you copy stuff to the/boot. I'm guessing that future versions of LILO will remove this requirement.

It was Petain who caved in to the Germans. Other people kept fighting the Germans after the surrender. Surely you must have heard of the French resistance lead by Charles Degaulle.
If I recall correctly, the French heavily fortified the border with Germany, but the Germans went through Belgium, again (apparently Belgium is a road). Whoever decided not to fortify the border with Belgium was as much of a twit as Petain was. Though, if the border with Belgium was fortified, the Germans probably would have attacked somewhere else, or attacked by sea or something.

I'm willing to argue that Blackjack is a game of skill. Skilled players can gain an advantage over the house. Interestingly enough, Blackjack is the game with the worst odds if you don't know what you're doing.

I have always insisted on describing circles, spheres, etc. by their radius. Perhaps then, they described it the correct way and it has a 10" radius. That would be quite a large skillet.

If some tyrant decided to use this there would be too much potential for the virus to escape the bounds of the targeted nation and eventually come back to the tyrant's nation. Especially since it seems to be heavily vaccine resistant. Apparently this stuff spreads quickly (since the lab's entire mouse population was infected in under nine days) and kills quickly. For biological weapons it would be best to use something that spreads more slowly and preferably something you have a vaccine for but the enemy doesn't.

Infinite Monkey doesn't quite make sense. Infinite how? Infinitely large? I suppose that you mean one among an infinitely large group of monkeys. Or do you mean that you possess all of the same qualities as an infinite number of monkeys somehow compressed into a single monkey? My head is spinning.

TeX is great and it will continue even after MathML is accepted. However, I am very glad to see MathML since a way of displaying mathematical expressions in web pages without images is something that I have wanted for a long time.
I suppose that we could just have a tag that allows TeX formatted stuff to be used, but I think its best that web pages use something that is consistent with HTML's idioms.

The one thing I want to see between now and 2.6/3.0 is ReiserFS replacing ext2. From what I've seen so far, ReiserFS is much better than ext3 will be. I don't know much about Tux2, but it seems to me that everything Tux2 offers is already being shown by ReiserFS. I do know that ReiserFS has great performance and Tux2 would have to do a lot to outdo it. I say screw compatibility with ext2. I can always backup and reinstall or copy my files to a new partition. If ext3 or Tux2 ends up being the standard just because its easy to convert your partition to them I'll be really pissed off.

I've seen X at 250% of my 128MB of memory (according to top any way). No swap usage is reported either. I have 64MB of RAM on my video card so that alone can't explain it. I've heard that shared memory can be counted more than once, perhaps that's it.

I was thinking the other way around. If they patented Red-Green color blindness, shouldn't that make them responsible for it. Everyone with Red-Green color blindness could file a class action lawsuit for reducing their quality of vision (this would be a form of bodily harm).

Or at least I think it was a couple of years ago. I was with some people in a McDonald's on a school trip. There was an old man who brought one with him and was going around showing it to people. When I first saw it I thought it was pretty dopey, but when he came and showed it to us, though I hate to admit it, it made me laugh a bit. I'm not the type who usually laughs at this kind of thing. Once when required to write a story or essay with the title "Anything Can Happen" I wrote a story in which ended with the protagonist being killed by a falling bullet which was fired at the beginning of the story. From that you should be able to see how far talking fish are from my notion of what is funny. I think this shows that such a gadget can be somewhat amusing if used in moderation.

Yes, more instructions per cycle, but the race between Athlon and Pentium is pushing x86 performance higher than Intel ever expected. So, for all
but the most memory intensive operations, the x86 may be able to win out over Itanium just based on clockspeed. The expectations of the Itanium
haven't been increased to reflect market conditions.
I would say that's unlikely. An Alpha will outperform a higher clockspeed x86 chip. It's more than just more instructions per cycle. 64 bit instructions help just about everything. I haven't looked at the spec for the instruction set, but I'm guessing that Intel has dumped a lot of the crap that the x86 instruction set had. There are instructions for BCDs in the x86 instruction set. Does anyone use them these days? Not likely. Even if they were used they would probably be slower since Intel's strategy lately has been to optimize the simpler instructions in imitation of the RISC architecture. Optimized code uses a bunch of little instructions rather than one slower equivalent instruction. However, the other instructions are just dead weight. Getting rid of the crap leaves more chip real estate for optimizing the simpler, more general purpose instructions.
