  1. Re:Rebel + Muvo on Seeking a Decent Digital SLR Camera for Beginners? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Be careful with the Muvo drive swap. It looks like Creative is now using microdrives that only work in ATA mode. The owner of Digital Photography Review has just run into this problem recently. Here's the thread.

    "David and Goliath" with Ashton Kutcher?

    See, now I've got this whole "That 70's Show" scene
    with Hyde and Kelso going through my head.

    "Goliath" Kelso runs off screaming "Ow! My eye!" at the end, right?

  3. Re:tpctl for thinkpads on Getting Better Battery Life w/ Linux? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Apmiser works really well on my X24. I usually get between three and four hours on a charge, as long as I don't "emerge" and compile any huge Gentoo source packages while it's unplugged.

  4. Re:Stable on ResierFS In Latest 2.4.1 Prepatches · · Score: 2
    After a BAD crash while experimenting with Utah-GLX last summer, I migrated my main box onto reiserfs (about 20GB worth of filesystems so far). I haven't had a single problem with it yet. I've only run it with the 2.2/2.3 kernels, so I can't really comment on interactions with 2.4.0 yet.

    Here's a testimonial from namesys web site that helped to convince me:

    http://ftp.sourceforge.net/ has 850GB storage, half of which is reiserfs, half is ext2. Both filesystems have been running flawlessly for > 4 months of production (actually longer, but wasn't reiserfs before). That server pushes between 15Mbit and 50Mbit/sec, and pulls/syncs about 2-5Mbit/sec, 24x7.

    reiserfs also powers the CVS tree filesystem for cvs-mirror.mozilla.org (also tokyojoe.sourceforge.net), which is the one and only anonymous CVS checkout point for mozilla. That server has run flawlessly under very heavy load since its birth.
