IIRC, multisession CDs automatically handle what unionfs does. Each new session is essentially a diff between the previous session and the current state. (Not a binary diff, though. Modified files are typically re-added whole.)
I'd assume it depends on how you use it. Fill it with MP3s and videos, and it'll fill quickly. If you don't do much with large data sets, I doubt the average user would see it fill all that fast.
Best-case scenario? Your.bash_history accounts for most of the session changes.
When I saw it in Linux Journal (or was it Linux Magazine? Not sure...), I tried to get Xen. I went to their website, but couldn't find a download link.
Of course, now that I've seen it on Slashdot, it's a cinch to find. (Go figure...)
From how I understand it, WinFS will actually be a layer of abstraction above whatever underlying filesystem (FAT32/NTFS) the system is running on. It won't be a new filesystem at all. It holds metadata about each file and makes it easier and faster to find things. Much like the aforementioned Beagle project.
You mean like that FindFast program I had to keep killing in Win95 because it caused my games to skip?
As it stands, at least in the environment I've lived in, parents are at least partly culpable for things I've done. I see this as an attempt by parents to offload some liability.
It's been too long since my electronics courses. You're right, multiple taps would work fine. But where's he going to get an appropriate transformer?
Also, a fuse on the primary would work fine for drawing too much from the wall, but what about the individual components in the device? Those have current limits, too, and you'd probably want a fuse for each output voltage.
I guess part of what I was trying to get at was, the OP says he's got above-average soldering skills, but that doesn't necessarily mean he has sufficient skills to plan the schematic and safe implementation of the device he wants.
Can I build one with my marginally above average soldering and electrical schematic skills? Have any of you found a better way to eliminate these blocky plug-hogs?
Sure, but you'd need a transformer with multiple sets of windings, one for each voltage you want to put out, and one for your line input... But you're not likely to find one that fits your exact needs.
Nevermind concerns about drawing too much current from your device, and failing gracefully.
I do it in order to get a kernel finely tuned to my needs and interests.
However, the most important advantage to compiling my own kernel is that I can optimize it for my CPU.
Some distributions (many? most? I don't know.) have their kernel compiled for the 386. While they'll still get a speed boost from modern CPUs' higher clockspeeds, they miss out on extra features like mmx, sse and 3DNow!, compiler optimizations for pipeline types and counts, etc.
They're not talking about hanging the things out of car windows. A 12V adapter would be better for that, anyway.
Instead, they're expecting that typical environmental wind, especially that found on coasts, will work well enough. The idea is to ease communications access to areas without convenient electricity. (Mountain climbing, anyone?)
What's that got to do with video games? Last I knew, 3DSMax was used for producing models and videos, not dynamic scene composition ala HL2 or Doom III.
With raytracing and similar per-pixel rendering systems, for example, you can easily divide your rendering job between as many threads as you care to. With poly-based rendering, the CPU's work doesn't divide the same way.
That's not to say it's not divisible, though. Rather, concepts and techniques behind dividing it haven't seen enough attention to have developed into mature technologies.
I wonder if one could argue that having a massive headwound impared one's ability to understand the document, and, perhaps, made it impossible for you to give any sort of reasoned consent in the first place.
I wouldn't limit defrag requirements to FAT32. I run the defrag utility for NTFS on my XP box with some regularity. (Typically after filling and emptying the drive.)

Luckily, I've done alright with cheap dress shoes for a few years now, though I'm about due for a new pair.
You just made me double-check the date.
Nope, not April 1st.
"Can someone recommend an open-source software tool that assists me in selecting shoes?"
Try:
perl -e 'print "Go with the cheap ones.\n"'

How do you know what my pulse would be?

Gah.

Microsoft's lawyer can turn around and point out that Windows came on the PC in the first place.

Good point, though; I'll likely use it in debating with other people.

Someone needs to file a return suit for wrongful prosecution. (Or harassment. Or disturbing their peace. Or whatever it is. IANAL)
I'd like to see a judge order the MPAA or RIAA to take better care in filtering out false positives before clogging the courts.
They developed a turbine that could conceivably work on any mobile form. I would assume satellite phones fall under that catagory.
There's a link to the related press release on the MPAA's website.
Forget minutes, my abs extend for 180 degrees!

If you have a couple working "worthless" 1.4GHz Athlons, drop me an email; I'll gladly pay for shipping.
Different kind of rendering, I suspect.

We've got computer hardware in our home basement, including the computer hardware in my bedroom. (Yes, I'm 21 and live in my parents' basement. :)
Since the ceiling is 8' at the bottom of the trusses, we use sound-absorbing drop-ceiling, while running cable through the holes in the trusses.
The only downside we've hit is it's difficult to have nice-looking flourescent lighting when the light has three truss shadows to a tube.
