No. And I wasn't trying to be excessively sarcastic there either (+3 insightful, -1 troll). My only point was that since ext4 doesn't really exist yet, it is a bit premature to start comparing it with other filesystems. Sure there are currently ideas and patches to get the ball rolling. But AFAIK it is far from a working new/different filesystem. And who knows what it will look like when it finally gets called ext4 (vs ext3-dev).
Then again, I'm pretty sarcastic.:)

I was wondering about something similar. I was once told that the material used in jet engine turbine blades is actually grown as a single crystal (all atomic bonds as opposed to molecular?) and is therefore very strong.
Safari is based on the HTML library used in Konqueror, not on Konq itself. KOffice is separate from Konqueror. Konq. can view KOffice files by embedding (KParts?) objects.
So no, I don't think so.
That said, Apple could/should at least support ODF in the Preview app. if not in Pages.
Well, I don't want to get into an argument here, but I have watched lots of pros, and all the big hitters have a huge hip turn through impact. And a moderate one away from the ball in the backswing. I'm not sure what you mean by 'waddling', but if you mean swaying as opposed to turning, then I would agree.
I try to turn my shoulders at least 90 degrees and hips about 45 at the top of the backswing. At impact my hips are about 15 degrees past the starting point and my shoulders square to the target line. Everything is facing the target in the follow through.
Yup. Do that and you'll hit your driver 100 yards straight down the middle every time. Although you also could develop a nasty hook.
Now, if you want to hit it long, get your lower body active and generate more power. They key is not to try to hit it with your hands (or the club head), but turn your core (hips, shoulders) and let your arms and the club swing as you said. But if you're not driving this with your lower body then you are not gonna hit it very far.
Nope, it is aerodynamics. The Bernoulli effect I believe, same as an airplane wing.
Backspin makes the air on top move faster than the air on the bottom - relative to the direction of ball flight I think. Faster air has less pressure than slower air and generates lift.
I also think it generates less drag, but I don't remember why.
Partial side-spin creates hooks and slices. So less spin overall creates less hook/slice, but in some cases less distance.
For a club like a driver, backspin can actually cause a loss of distance, because the ball ends up with a trajectory that is too steep, and you get no roll at the end of the flight.
Nirvana is a ball/club combination with low spin off a driver and high spin off a wedge or other short club.
Walk, carry the damn bag, swing hard. It's a sport. I'm tired and sweaty after 18 holes and ~6600 yards/meters. If you ride in a cart, smoke cigars and drink beer, it's just a game.

Ummm...zfs exists, ext4 doesn't. Yet.
Yeah, I remember MY first day. That was the good old day. *sigh*
You mean Human Influenced climate change? Right?
Don't confuse hydra with hydro. I mean hydrocephaly is bad, but Nine Heads would be cool! Eat your heart out Zaphod Beeblebrox!

Make a sword out of that.

I don't know about that, but if you're driving with your wedge then you're playing the game wrong.
Hmmm, I keep track of my golf scores on my PowerMac, running Linux. I must suck.
