EXT2FS does not have much problem with file fragmentation. Like most Unix filesystems, it automatically reuses all empty space and tries to keep files/directories together.
XFS does look interesting, and it should at least reduce restart time.
Notice that on a server you can reduce file system updates by putting files which are rarely updated on read-only filesystems which are separate from the often-updated ones, reducing the partitions which need to be checked.
Of course, maybe you should also start by considering how much better anything else is when compared to what you're presently using. NT needs defragmentation, and crashes often enough that restart time and disk recovery are great concerns.
Some people are racing to orbit, to be the first stop to space. Some people are racing to the moon, where there are convenient solid surfaces to fasten things which like vacuum or low gravity. Some people are racing to be first to mine an asteroid, while driving accounting experts nuts trying to figure out what the market price for gold might be with double the supply. Some people are just racing to get some of our eggs out of this basket.
"After the auction is over, the game will start being sold for about $80 a cartridge."
Suppose the game will never be sold if we keep bidding up the auctioned cartridge indefinitely? But we individually don't have an infinite amount of money...
Well, you can't buy hardware and then donate. I know one project with plenty of development hardware that will need specialized hardware (GPS is the most recognizable example) for later development. And sometimes buying programmer time is needed more than hardware.
Good point. There can be taxes on gifts. The situation is more complicated in various countries, and I know the USA gift tax is complicated by gifts over $10,000 and international gifts. Depending on how the money is given, the donor and/or recipient may have tax consequences (taxes or deductions).
There already are several open source development coordination sites. Browse those and see if one of the existing sites or projects tickles your fancy.
And since the beam is not restricted by having to create a photographic mask, each chip on a wafer can be different. Memory areas could be customized ROMs with the latest OS and serial numbers burned in the hardware.
And better yet, the entire wafer becomes a customized circuitry area. Design processor and memory modules and have them splattered across the entire wafer with assorted bus circuits, with each wafer different based upon customer demands. (Yup, you'd better design those modules to work despite some of them not working due to production failures...)
He is referring to the difference between the present optical method (like flashing an entire slide image on a screen) versus scanning the electron beam across the area (like painting a TV picture with a beam, but with many more dots). Flashing an image with all the chips across the entire silicon wafer is much faster than having a delicate electron beam scanning back and forth through each of the millions of chip features..for all the chips on the wafer.
Surprise. The Authentication method "Windows NT Challenge/Response" sends an encrypted challenge to the browser. A nonstandard browser just sits there...until you notice your CPU is busy and the flickering messages in the status line. More examples on Deja news by searching for "Netscape MS proxy problem".
An MS plugin for Netscape exists, if you're running Netscape on a system which is compatible with the plugin.
Yes, as long as we have control of Galileo we may as well prevent contamination. But Earth has been leaking stuff for a long time, so the neighborhood is already contaminated. Let's not be messy, but we also won't be surprised if nearby life is related to us.
We already know that Mars had water, so it's already in doubt as to whether Mars or Earth started contaminating the neighborhood first...or maybe we got contaminated from Europa, if it cooled from red-hot iron first.
First of all, Earth bacteria survived three years on the Moon. So we know it already happened. Earth bacteria can survive in space.
I don't really want a bacteria which survives that environment back on Earth, but it does not matter much. Earth bacteria get blown off the top of the atmosphere all the time. Gravity pulls some to the Moon or Sun, while the solar wind tends to push them away from the Sun. Some will hit rocks and get carried in random directions, including back to Earth.
It doesn't matter how small the probabilities. Some bacteria has probably already survived a round trip back to us. And if Galileo is ever recovered, it will be in a society with so much space travel taking place that we'll have a lot of life wandering in and out of space.
Actually I was thinking about the possibility of altering a single cell in the lab, growing it, and implanting it. Such as GM bone marrow transplants, liver, pancreas, and stem cells. And other ones as we learn to keep more of them alive in vitro or create them from stem cells.
Summary: The document is analyzed and a few unusual words are selected. These are used in a signature which is either put in links (within the anchor tag) or in a URL like this:
The advantage of putting it in the URL is that bookmarks may work. Implementation can be in server or client and there are advantages to both methods. If it's in a noninformative client then you might not be aware of redirection (unless the wrong page is retrieved and it is obvious).
I'm sure ICANN considered such things, and I'm sure they realized they have to take great care in creating new TLDs.
This proposal shows a certain mindset. Mr. Love didn't suggest any.love or.like, nor.support,.repair, or.meeting. There's also no.heaven or.limbo, much less.karma. Also no.facts,.analysis,.news, and.truth. (I can see uses for all those TLDs, as well as the multiple meanings in my phrasing)
Nice. I wonder if there's a power-control jack so my car's computer can upload scheduled audio to it overnight. I see the USB interface mentioned, but don't know if it will like being ON 24 hours a day...
They think this will let them introduce DNA into a cell? Good. It will be nice to be able to do genetic engineering without having to use a virus to penetrate the cell.

The "related links" box has too much stuff, as if an anchor termination was missed.
The SNL opinion-debating piece was in turn a spoof of the "Point-Counterpoint" head-to-head opinions on the "60 Minutes" TV news magazine.

And yes, we can go to Mars, right now. We just prefer to not build, and use, an Orion drive.

Oh, they can tell which way your head is turned, if you're making eye contact, and whether you are interested. See IBM's "BlueEyes" technology.
The father of nanotechnology spoke in 1959 of etching with reversed electron microscope. He also refers to us in the year 2000 looking back...

Actually, even Exchange Server has problems if not running on same server as IIS.

Yes, you'd need a gene-splicing DNA configuration. At least without the cell-piercing part of a virus package the GM DNA would not be infectious.

Don't forget the MS Proxy security setting that makes it only work with IE.

Look more carefully at that 404 message. It's a joke.

Well, public libraries are under the control of the state.
