Lustre on ZFS is a mumuchch better option due to ZFSs inherent capability superiorty over XFS.
I can tell you with a high degree of confidence that ZFS is a poor option for Lustre compared to its traditional backends, Ext3 and Ext4. One simple reason: ZFS has about half the transaction throughput.
Like every piece of software Oracle is involved in, ZFS is a big fat patent trap. Not only that, but ZFS is a lot slower than Ext3 and Ext4, and probably Btrfs[1] as well. There is absolutely no benefit to using ZFS as an object storage target, there is only the certainty of legal problems.
[1] Oracle is involved with Btrfs too, so exercise due caution.
From franhofer's site: "If you are an end user and would like to use the Fraunhofer mp3 encoder or decoder, please use Apple iTunes or Windows Media which integrate the Fraunhofer mp3 software. Please note, that although mp3 was developed at Fraunhofer IIS, we do not sell any mp3 products to end users and do not provide end user support for mp3 devices and software."
Here is what I think of Fraunhofer's behavior in this matter: they subverted publicly funded research and became a patent troll on the internet using a submarine patent (look it up, exactly what Fraunhofer did). Did the Royal Society ever do anything remotely like that? Suppose Newton had done it with his newly discovered differential calculus? Whatever good Fraunhofer has done, they have besmirched their reputation as a learned society and descended to the level of a lowly patent troll. Sorry, but it's true. I'm sorry if some people find it uncomfortable to think of it in those terms, but Fraunhofer has done a disservice to society in this matter.
Exactly what I was thinking, however in my case it is about being abused by Sony's support policy re its defective first generation machines. They could put out the most amazing console in recorded history and I don't care, it isn't work the pain, wasted time and humiliation. By the way I used to be a big PS3 booster.
I get about four days with my G2 if I'm not making videos or watching videos or using map navigation and so on, just making a normal number of calls and browsing occasionally. Watching videos it lasts about 5 hours, which could be improved but its not a big issue. Call me satisfied with battery performance, though any improvement would be welcome.
It's not a law, it was just an exemption to the DMCA. read more. And it only covers you and your phone, not the people that write the tools you use.
And the exception is only temporary. With a few years of 20 20 hindsight, we can now see that DMCA has not yielded real benefits to anybody but lawyers, thugs and would be monopolists. DMCA is not a law, it is pure evil.
Users should be free to download any app from any website, and install it on their Macs or PC or Phones.
Where do you think botnets come from? Users who download and install software from websites that they shouldn't but they aren't smart enough to know the difference, or skilled enough to notice the data usage spikes.
But why does that only seem to happen to Windows users?
You really don't want that kind of power on limited bandwidth cell networks. Remember the average person is an idiot.
Is that why you feel comfortable posting your logical fallacy?
You don't change the OS on your TV or radio for a reason.
If I could change the OS on my TV, I would. It has a USB port that I'd like to be able to use for other things. Of course I'd have to have most of the base functionality. I'd sure like to add wake-on-signal...
My TV is running Linux, how about yours? I found out about this because LG thoughtfully included a copy of the GPL at the end of their user manual. (I would definitely buy LG again.) It's very likely this Linux is upgradeable, i.e., hackable, which might be fun.
It would be very strange indeed if, in year 2020, radio is using this codec and television is using this codec and cable is using this codec and DVRs are using this codec and Blurays are using this codec...... but the internet did not. The web would be the odd man out.
All the applications you mentioned are watching the sun go down except for the web, as is evidenced by declining participation hours for all of them including Bluray if you compare it to its predecessor DVD (this is really a self inflicted wound). I don't know about you, but I don't even receive TV in my house and I missed it exactly once this year: wanted to see the ball drop in Times square. Next year I'll be sure to arrange an internet feed for that, I don't doubt I could have this year if I'd thought of it before quarter to 12. Bottom line is, it doesn't make sense to talk about odd man out when comparing to buggy whip industries.
Did you actually check the definition yourself? From Wikipedia:
Patent troll is a pejorative term used for a person or company that enforces its patents against one or more alleged infringers in a manner considered unduly aggressive or opportunistic, often with no intention to manufacture or market the patented invention.
If you've ever followed the history of audio compression in software codecs AND hardware ASIC's...
You should consider taking your own advice.
it's pretty obvious Fraunhofer was -directly responsible- for the most significant developments of the past decade!
That is a wild exaggeration. And what about the decade before, and the decade before that? As I see it, Fraunhofer hired a researcher how had been working at a University on audio compression since 1977, and patented his work. Patent troll.
Original layer 2 and layer 3 methods and patents,
I will grant that they are responsible for a number of patents. Building on the work of others. The fundamental research was not done by Fraunhofer. More importantly, if they had charged royalties for MP3 before it became a standard, nobody would have used MP3 since it is not terribly difficult to devise a discrete cosign transformation method that performs just as well and for which one does not need to pay money to a... patent troll.
Trolls??? Uh, not so much dude!
Your rhetoric does not make Fraunhofer any less of a patent troll, though I suppose it might play well to the gullible.
Ah, Fraunhofer the MP3 trolls back for another kick at the can. A silver lining: if not for them the excellent Ogg Vorbis might never have been created. Come to think of it, if not for Bell Labs then we would likely never have had Linux. Maybe there is a purpose for every piece of slime in the woods, no matter how bad it smells.
Ballmer should take a cue and do his own exit before the board does this for him. Douche at the wheel is not a good sign of a company preparing to take over another market segment that they fail in consistantly.
I think Ballmer is doing an excellent job of doing to Microsoft what should be done to it and should just keep doing it as long as possible.
in this world, with their actual size and other limitations I'd estimate they could probably reach matching performance with frglx for one generation of cards in 50 years.
Mesa GL 2.1 is already quite kickass, with a very capable shading language and plenty of extensions covering most of the advantages of OGL 3/4. The main improvement I'd like to see is geometry shaders, which are getting close.

Lose every tie to ZFS. Every. Single. One.
Right now.

Is microsoft becoming more evil by the day?
However evil this latest stunt may be, its also an own goal and as far as I'm concerned, Microsoft is welcome to score as many own goals as it wants.

you mean a whole host of different phones built by a whole host of different OEMs finally caught up to one OEM?
More like, open caught up to and passed closed.
Then please inform us, dear Coward, about all the MP3 products Fraunhofer sells besides patent license.

Speeding up the PS4 could cause it to jump the gun...
Sony can speed up the PS4 all they want, it doesn't matter to me, they burned me too badly with the PS3.
Sony's cameras descend from video camera lineage, Canon's descend from, um, cameras. Guess which kind of camera I prefer to own.
Could always consider dropping the price to something resembling the cost of duplication + reasonable markup. But oh no, they would rather die.

Just another of the many ways in which Paypal is evil.

MySpace has developers? What do they do?!
Same as they did before they went there from Yahoo.

Ha ha, I'll make a note of that claim.
My guess is, no effect on OpenGL per se. The migration to Gallium drivers is the one to watch.
Mesa GL 2.1 is already quite kickass, with a very capable shading language and plenty of extensions covering most of the advantages of OGL 3/4. The main improvement I'd like to see is geometry shaders, which are getting close.
