You "'Strailians" have no idea how sexy (attractive) that place looks from here. Given the chance, I'd just camp out forever a bit East of Perth and wait for rain. Sydney sounds nice too, but deserts appeal (imagine a Canuck winter).
From what I understand, Microsoft did write portions of NT in x86 assembly in the old days to make it not crawl, and that was one of the things that caused less portability b/w the different NTs.
Who fsckin' cares? Zzzzzzz... Boring.

Nice troll.
You need to raise your standards. That was pathetic.

You're an idiot. Those are features, dummy. Educate yourself. You're seriously lacking $clue.

I don't think he's our saviour. I do think he's just another guy. I think he had a bright idea and he's doing his best to run with it. I haven't seen him do much that I'd consider "evil" (and I'm fairly picky in that area). To my mind, so far, so good.
I think it would be seriously cool, on many levels, if Australia's PM was Julian Assange. I hope he enjoys the ride.
When will the nightmare that is Linux audio be comprehensively solved?
You're kidding, right? It was a decade ago when I last had any difficulty with audio (because I didn't know what I was doing). What, are you trying to get umpteen thousand sound using apps to play together nicely?
Wow. Am I out of the loop, or what? We're up to ext*4* now? I'm still using (happily) ext2. Yeah, I've heard of btrfs, but why change if what you're using works? Journaling makes sense for servers; not so much for personal boxes.
Firefox ran especially poorly on btrfs. I was told this is because Firefox does lots of syncs, and btrfs had very poor performance on syncs.
Firefox runs poorly because the web's driven by Flash and essentially unusable without Ad Block Plus. Or, maybe you ought to try going back to ext2. Newer's not always better, or maybe newer's for hardware that you don't own.
I always figured that was some religious war where they finally gave the Muslims the back 40 just to go away.
My recollection is the Indians were bending over backwards to attempt to accomodate the Muslim side, but the latter were having none of it. Perhaps they'd just run out of patience suffering under the British. I can respect that. Perfidious Albion's got a lot to apologize for (they were vicious brutes in so damned many ways). Then you end up with the mess of millions of people moving to "their" new country from wherever they happened to be when the starter pistol went off.
I also often puzzled over the fact that not even Bangladeshi's could stand Pakistan. That says something there, what I'm not sure.
By the way, I've no irons in that fire. I've had good friends from both camps, and known jerks from both camps as well. I look forward to learning more about both. I also look forward to hearing that the whole subcontinent has decided to stop shooting at each other.:-| Yankee, go home, please and thank you.
Jolly good point watching that one "sober" this time. Pip pip.
Er, what? And do people really still say "pip pip"?!?
Here is a fact, the two women reported the rape MONTH before the controversy was even started. Then the serial rapist used the controversy as an excuse no to stand trial.
Your so-called "facts" leave much to be desired. "Serial rapist"?!? For consensual sex? After it all blew up in his face, he asked the prosecutor if he was free to go, and they said yes. He left. Then the second prosecutor started the current situation. Now, he's just trying to avoid being crucified by a stupid Swedish definition of rape. Yo girls, IT'S ALRIGHT TO SAY NO. Really. Honest! Say no if you want to! REALLY, damnit!
You are an imbecile.
But since idiots around the world believe whatever piece of human trash there is as long as they say something bad about the US
Poor baby. Do you feel the same way about Daniel Ellsberg and Thomas Drake?
I don't. I think it's all BS. The original prosecutor dropped it. Then another (more political) one picked it up again, and there you are.
Was it consensual sex? Yes. Were they forced into bed with him? No. Are condoms unbreakable? No. Is he a pariah in the eyes of some powerful nations' governments? Yes. Were he just some ordinary, run of the mill guy, would this be happening to him? Crucify him!
So, if that's the way it works these days, let's break it again! Get into the spirit of things. Welcome to the 21st Century. Nihilists on every street corner and poisonous critters infesting our dreams.
What a world this is.:-| You people (not you personally) just keep on astonishing me. "Don't. Stop! No. Don't stop!!!"
One senate seat doesn't seem like all that much...
This is a country that was settled by criminals as a prison colony. Just imagine Assange as Prime Minister! The US' and UK's head would explode. China and India and Pakistan would have a conniption fit. Damn, that would be entertaining!
Go Julian!:-)
It'd also be very entertaining to see the US Marines go up against the local wildlife. Australia has more poisonous critters than anywhere else on the planet. Not that I wish bad things to happen to the Marines (I like 'em), but still funny as hell to imagine it.
If the user intended to communicate, and they had any amount of competence, their intent would be clear (barring language difficulties), yes? If they intended otherwise (ie., show off, humiliate, or abuse), that too should be clear, oui?
So if doesn't get to this, it's a failure.
I suspect English is not your first language, correct? Yet I think I understand you. It takes two to communicate. Someone yesterday offered the example of two people in a bar. You smile at her, she smiles back. Request to send, clear to send,... Great analogy.:-)
Never got a failured joke?
QED (there I go using that dead language again!). Was that supposed to be funny? I don't know.
This thread started with someone lessening value to some other's failure to comunicate -on the premise that as long as the intend is achieved is all well and good.
Yes, and we all need to accept there are limitations inhibiting all of our attempts (sending and receiving). I suck at most languages other than English. I'm more than willing to try my damndest to understand others' less than stellar attempts to communicate in the one language I do know well. You all enrich me with your every attempt. Thank you.
I just pointed out that's not so easy goal...
Not everything *has* to be complicated. Humans are not computers. We can screw up a lot communicating without anything going BOOM. Computers, not so much. They're way more fragile. In a computer, that's a good thing. It's not a good thing in human to human communication.
It's after noon and I ought to be watching baseball, yet here I am wasting my day playing philosophy with geeks on the other side of the planet. Gahd, what a life.:-|

Ick.
I must be getting old.
You and me, both. I remember 0.96, or sumfin.
One really nice thing about ext4 vs. previous versions is the dreaded 20 minute fsck every 40th or so boot only takes about 10-20 seconds now.
I composed a *brilliant* reply to your post, including fdisk -l output and lots of other thoughtful commentary, then /.'s lameness filter kicked in.
Sorry. Complain to the management.
Censorship? "We are helping!" # a la "Reboot"
tl;dr: My boxes boot in less than a minute, but they don't contain TB size drives.
Now you sound like a Russian expatriate.
I was hinting at the legendary Vodka addiction, BTW, in case that didn't come through in translation to Cyrillic. :-)
Ah. You're saying I sound like I'm drunk. Well, you may be right, dependant upon the time of day or day of week, and !@#$ you too.
I think I'm supposed to finish this off with something witty and self-effacing, but I'm at a loss ATM. Okay, I'll try anyway.
Cheers. Cheap Scotch! Your Mom's fat and fugly! Sigh.
Vodka is a vile spirit, suited only to Russians, or to be used heavily mixed with Clamato. Ptui! :-P

Consensual sex according to the rapist ..... with a woman who said NO. Only a complete imbecile thinks that is consensual sex.
You must be Swedish. "So, here we are, in bed, and we're both naked. We've already (earlier) fucked each other ragged. Do you want to have sex?"
RAPE!
I mean, come on. No one but the Swedish legal system thinks that's plausible.
BTW, I will NOT be vacationing in Sweden in the forseeable future, despite the respect I have for that country otherwise.

Release the data and let the general public draw their own conclusions.
Like to the New York Times, The Guardian, and der Spiegel? Oh, he did! Huh.

I don't. I think it's all BS. The original prosecutor dropped it. Then another (more political) one picked it up again, and there you are.

It depends on the intended goal of the user.
