It's not all that tough to write a program to read ext2. I had a disk get corrupted once and Norton Disk Doctor said nothing was salvagable at all. So I wrote a simple program to do bios calls to read the disk one sector at a time. Bios calls don't care what type of file system is on the disk. The calling program has to figure out whether they are looking at a dir or file or whatever. It wouldn't have taken much to have the program also write using bios calls. The simplest way to write an infected file would be to look for a known file that is larger than the one you want to write, then just overwrite the existing one.
About a year ago (before Caldera bought SCO) I went to the SCO download site and downloaded a module that allowed running of Linux apps on SCO OS5 and Unixware. This is sorta old news. I ended up installing a second box running Linux. Given logins on both boxes, most of the users use the SCO box for stuff that could be done on either box. Most of the admin stuff moved to the Linux box (DNS, apache, fax).
ksh has filename completion and searchable history. Since use it in vi mode the command for completion is escape then backslash. Tab would be better except when you are trying to type a tab on the command line.
The search command is escape then "/" then the search word. Slash by itself again will find the next hit.
I can't do: sed 's/[tab]//' in bash but can in ksh but other than that bash is nice.
I've almost never see the FPATH variable mentioned by ksh users but as a programer/scripter it's one of my favorite features. Would you discuss the reasoning behind it?
Its flamebait because you were starting an OS war thread instead of discussing Korn shell issues.
Yes windows sucks, yes I don't like to use it either but this is about Korn shell not windows. Perhaps it should have been better modded offtopic instead.
The logging/watching of emails has nothing to do with democracy. Democracy is a form of government where people vote to decide what happens. Snooping by government may be a violation of privacy and a violation of personal rights but in no streach of imagionation is this a violation of democracy.

What I mean: in six months or so, could Microsoft point the finger to Wine, or WVWare (was MsWordView)
or OpenOffice, etc., and say they used their stolen intellectual property to improve compatiblity with
Windows/Office, and thus the projects are to be suspended until clarity is made by a judging court?
Unless they offer some proof then they would just be opening themselves up to a slander suit.
For a web server, I thought it would be interesting if the OS
were run on a ram disk. chroot to the ram and if
a cracker got it and modified files, it wouldn't
be difficult at all to fix.
Could even have lids just reboot the box on
signs of trouble

There are very few compilers that will produce com files. Assemblers will of course but how many script kiddies can do assembler? And good old Turbo Pascal 3.0 would. I can't think of any others that will make a com program.
What you are discribing sounds a lot like ssl authenication. Public and private keys authenticated by a third party. I'd love to have a credit card that worked that way.
This means that other media could use/. comments under the fair use clause but that/. editors could not. So Microsoft could include any comments they wished in their press releases but JK couldn't include counter examples in his press release. How odd.
The general public doesn't always see the good AI engines. I know of one that out runs most AI by a factor of 10,000 to 1 - using same hardware. They just used a completely different paradime for their AI analysis. I think they are still treated as a "munition" by the US gov.
One of the most missing features in pdksh is the FPATH variable. All my tested/debugged functions go into files that the FPATH points to. Then any script I write can use any of those functions by just calling them as if they were included in the script. Saves a lot of time having when writting scripts.
I had the problem also and it corrected itself when I started using a ergonomic keyboard. If you get an ergonomic be sure to read the instructions since it's not intuitive how they are best used.
Most states also require that you pay taxes on goods purchased from out of state. Now most people ignore this requirement either because they don't know about it or (as in my case) delibertly ignored.
Turbo Basic came out after TP3 and Turbo Prolog. The copyright was sold back to the origional author and was released under the name Power Basic. Last I saw, it was at ver 3. Very nice compiler if you like basic.

Hmmmm. 11,000 divided by 4 is 5500? My calculator suggests it's closer to 2750 per foot.

5) they also accept a higher shock/vibration load that real disks. Very good for moving vehicles (ie airplanes)
We need to spam them for their own good. We should also spam them with a make money at home email so they can afford a real ISP....

Why can't the US drop it's paranoid fear of government and implement such a system?
For starters
the UK encryption key laws
the UK ISP laws
the UK ownership of guns laws

This has been done already. The most common change (I think) is to swap the positions of the knights with the bishops. Changes the game significantly.
