No, I was thinking more along the lines of when(/if) META-data becomes big, and you'd get further throughtput by having it on its own drives, so as to speed things up.
By all the three examples I provided, I tried to "account" for both speed and reliability, even though it's only a vague theory..
--No wonder (_real_)things keep standing still for fscking 10 years at the time, and only Disney features are implemented; people turn down theories just as snappy as they turn down webdesigns (50ms, or whatever)..
With everyone and their parrot talking about RAID these days, it would've been fun if some sort of dual array would work as ONE filesystem; where one(++) redunant set took care of the balancing/tree'ing, etc., (separately,) and the other(s) kept the actual files. If there was _yet_ another set (a ++third), with the relevant META-information belonging to the files, you would imagine it to be a step forward to what is now, well; I can, anyway..
Does stuff like SATA-2 ("virtual" or not) bump up transfers or not in a setup such as this, or is that only applicable to read drives, so to speak?..Doesn't seem to stand clear wether there's SATA2 involved here.
Yeah, you're also supposed to be able to change the (desired; not always in-effect) priority of individual files related to any torrent, or so they say..
.."They" should try to i[nv/mplem]ent Scalable (Vector?) Graphics for both 3d and 2d content in games, so that there would only be one graphic file to load for any resolution(s).
Perhaps it would even be possible to "limit" the scalability to _only_ the few (two/three, etc.) resolution schemes that are actually used, so as to not waste space with SVG's that bear resolutions that are outside the actual frame of display-usage (or only cache _only_ the size(s) that _are_ being used)..
Yeah; easy to say for someone not into coding/graphics, but the idea seems nice, -if it saves some space-, IMHO..
Slackware 10 runs nicely on an old Pentium 75mhz, with 40mb's of RAM, and 3gb HDD.. -The onboard Cirrus Logic (1mb version) graphics card even allows for 800x600@16bit, if you stick with either wmaker, bbox or fluxbox (I'm on WindowMaker, btw).
Naturally, the original chipset BIOS clips the HDD at 2gb, but I installed using a PCI hdd controller (/dev/hde), and changed back the entries in/etc/fstab to read "/dev/hda" once I'd moved the disk back onto the internal HDD bus, using a "rescue" disk and pico..
Just set/boot to be within the DOS size-limit (20mb is fine/overkill), and it'll boot up fine, using "all" three gigabytes.. =)
I mean, do software developers usually keep to this standard, or is it more like them cutting some slack due to numerous distros not adhering to it?
What if those releasing the libs/support files (QT/GTK2, etc.) _only_ allowed you to use them for free, _IF_ the end product adhered to LSB specs.? --It'd force developers to be less sloppy, and some form of unity might come sooner than expected..
Yes, an arrogant idea, but just read it as an "what-if" -kind of thing.
If The L.A. Times knew what they were talking about, they'd know better than blaming/. -readers, as they (we) are the least likely clientele to reduce ourselves to that kind of activity.
My guess is, that L.A. Times just lost some-short-of a million "subscribers", so to say..
...I believe now is the time, -again-, for the re-surfacing of 'Green Hornet' and 'Kato'...
--Seems rather descriptive for what features are therein; you could even make *KABLAAM!* and *POW!* -extensions for each popup/spammail blocked; to think of the endless skin posibilities too!
I think the 'nerd definition' is tagged (by girls/ non techies) like this; _He's_ (*/the "nerd" is) working with something we wouldn't normally "cheer", if IT WASNT for the cash he's raking in, or; _this_ (*/what he is doing) is desirable only because he's loaded on dough (..due to endulging in it..)..
So, "nerd" could be "(whatever) something we do not understand/grasp, BUT the fact that he's got 'means' "settles it"(tm) into something sustainable.
OR; the things he does would (automatically) be candidate for ridicule, if it weren't for his calveskin wallet (or its guts)..
Microsoft should get to work on making another MS-branded browser to cover over the IE -fiasco; one that would be secure, at that. --They could just aswell set up a semi-OSS project (at worst) that "battled" gecko, and make people forget IE, for MS's benefit above all..
If after this, they still need IE installed, it should be sandboxed-in (i.e. hindered in outbound tasks 100%, excluding wupdate.ms.com specific stuff,) and that would be that..
If they succeed in besting the browser-alternatives visible per today, -fine-, if they make the new browser inferior; fine too..
What if (tm) someone made a card that looked just like a bona-fide card, _only_ that this 'magic' card could 'scoop up' the magnetic -debris (if any; I'm talking way out of line here) that normal cards leave behind in the readers; I'm sure something must be torn off, (cards wear to the render of uselessness, due to 'hard usage',) and among that "something", there's bound to be magnetic information, or?...
Well let's say this 'scooper card' stores all the random magnetism stuck to the card-reader -slot, and the 'magician' goes home to sort out the coherent bits, -if any-, to use them for fraudalent endaevours.. --Could something along these lines technically happen?... I mean, if the scooper card had some sort of magnet, or absorbator, whatever..?
You're correct about the ~~40mb, _however_; the amount of RAM you choose to use for the browser cache bumps this up, if set to 'auto' on high-RAM systems, or set high in general. I've only been up to ~~70mb or so (win32), so far, I guess mileage is the factor here, anyway.
In WinRAR, the RAR-version is decided by what "features" you use while creating the archive. On a normal archive, the version is either 2.7 or 2.9; I can't remember.. --AFAIK, the version goes up if you embed NTFS metainfo and such; so most people end up making version 2.7/9 -archives, anyway. (Optimizing compression and stuff assumably bumps the version, but many go with the default..)

Why don't Microsoft stick a "Mediaplayer.torrent" on the desktop of those WinXP-N -distros? Heh; yeah, right..
NVU is avaiable for win32 and linux, and should be sufficient for your task..

You're legit. The parent was just a bastard.
So.. If I set up subdomains that read like "eatmytacobell.dom.ain", and "just.do.it", I'll be charged for SPURming?

Does this mean you can run MAC-OSX in QEMU even on x86/intel processors?
