You surely could use this meta-data to make folders? It is simply a feature that you can or may not want to use.
It would almost certanly have work that way for backward compatabilty. Consider haveing a webserver on a Mac with this file system. The URL is going to have to conform to the current spec.
How the hell is MS going to make something superior in 3-5? By doing what they always do, buying a company / product that does something that they can sell.
I would think that the distro's are much more likley to be hurt than the Linus' project.
The FOSS projects that run on Linux and other kernels will most likey get a boost when it becomes easier to port their software to another group of customers.
Pinnacle has a video input device that converts analog video to firewire and iMovie sees it just fine. I just set this up for a friend. The device is just slightly smaller than the mini but I wonder if it could be used. Movie Box
There seems to be a bunch of carping on this thread about large files and the "Super Slashdot Effect". Why not set up a torrent server for these poor links and let the poster and the readers actually get what they want?
I have been checking out PBX's and phone systems for a while and I manage a couple of them right now.
The real cost of the phone systems are in the desksets which vary in features and cost but in a medium small office the PBX is a small percentage of the cost.
Consider a 30 station setup with 8 lines. The 30 phones would be somewhere between 6000 - 12000 depending on model. (you probably would not do elcheapo $75 ebay phones).
The {insert brand name here} PBX would be more but the asterisk would be probably $2000 (including cards). And then, no matter what system you choose, comes the programing, which should be about the same no matter what.
The thing that asterisk provides is the ability for everyone to use it. It is also exteremly accessable.
To get into this game? Their product line seems like it covers everything from virus protection to speed improvments to firewall stuff. And now very late (even after Microsoft) they release a "beta" version?
This will be one of the last gasps for air from the dieing corpse. Media delivery, content, and useage is dramaticly changing. The old line will fail and the new will emerge.
However, this is not new news. But it is on all the new and old media, including this one.
The big question, and the new news, is how these giants re-invent them selves and become the new giants, and whether or not they are able to. That is the real story.
I had a group on meetup.com and last month they anounced monthly charges for the group organizer. I promptly droped my membership and said goodbuy to the group (it was not working out anyway).
But seriously a monthly fee for recieving what many other (most other) sites provide for free, is a great way to shutdown an active site. I think that making plees to the users to make a donation or offer new services at a premium price, is way better than charging for what was once free. Just bad business.
I like a GUI when I have not worked with the program set in CLI recently. I tend to have to wear many hats and am horid at taking (and reading my own) notes. So a GUI lets me get the job done when I have forgoten the commands and their @ARGV.
If I have recent knowledge of the program sets operation then I like a CLI. Also I find that when I am learning a system CLI tends to expose the isues that I have wrong and the error messages are right in your face so you tend to get to the bottom of the problem.
Anyway I think that there is a time and a place for both interfaces and I like software that has both, and it is even better when there are a couple of GUI's to choose from.
I download music from etree and other free archive sites like nugs.net and I like to pull ISO images of fedora and knopix and other free ISO images. Then I am constantly dragging home a freind's computer to fix/update/patch/de-spyware. Plus there are those fun little movies.....
Anyway, unless the get into the content and where I got it from, which is definitely an invasion of privacy, what distinguishes me from a pirate?
Sorry ISP, I actually use the bandwith said I could and AFAIK I try to do so within the rules. Do not rat me out to Music Industry which I have supported for 25+ years. I actually have fond memories of records, 45 + 33 1/3, tapes, & CD's, but the new stuff fresh from the artist is way better.
But I still say FUCK Bush. If he thought that the privite sector would pay for it then the next thing we know is everything would go privite and then it would become worn out. People would loose interest and the sexy stuff would get funded, basic stuff that is not sexy (or beyond Jow Sixpack's vision) would not get funded.
In many respects we already do. If you have a any assortment of modern tech gear you are close to what a supercomputer would have been a few years ago.
I have a 2 notebooks, a dual processor linux machine, an iMac and a TiVo. All networked and could be turned into a number cruncher with out much difficulty.
Granted it does not compare to any modern supercomputer but it is close to 1996 >$200,000 computer.
Perhaps they should be more direct and reference a Linux distribution, like Ubantu, Fedora Core, Knopix, etc...
But it really depends on the audience. Most people equate things quite differently than the/. crowd and you have to first get their attention, only then can you start to educate them.
Sort of.... But coupled with an ssh or httpd exploit then you have real damage. However, I could see some poorly writen loops and the first experiments with fork bringing down the house. But none of us would do that would we....

How much does that thing cost???

I have limited Firefox's memory considerably with this:e mcache
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#oth_m
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 16000);
I don't know of such a setting in IE but maybe there is some registry key that needs adding or tweeking.
Just turn it on to your favorite channel and leave it on for a day. Viola - the selections that you like at your command.
However, I am sure that they would hobble it some way so that you can not snag the music. But mayne not.
Does Sirius extend outside of US borders? I thought that either XM or Sirius was only good in either the states or North America.
My guess is that there are too many moving parts in trackballs to use in a gamepad as those are designed for durability and decreased cost.
Not if you have a satelite box like DirecTv or Dish like I have.

A version of Xgrid for win32 and linux would be awesome.

Work on software that can't crash?
Sure I'm not the first to post that question....

I think that one huge reason that people switched from IE to Firefox was spyware and the problems in security.
So Office would have to have some really big problems (not that it does not) to drive the masses to OO.o
Another big thing is probably the size difference in the downloads. 60+ mg vs 6.
locate is way better than sherlock, search, whatever...
