    Finally! A PICK-like filesystem.
    Having worked with PICK database-like OS
    I found it's much easier and better to have
    data in database than in hierarchical structuure
    of files.
    Who in sane condition will put 10 real folders
    one into another?! Like in Russian Matryoshka,
    but folders?! The folders model has no real equivalent in office work.

    If you want to see what happens when we will NOT eat

    1) People put too much value too suffering and less

    They just should use a little amount of
    black powder to get them. :)

  23. Re:How? on Military Healthcare Data Stolen · · Score: 2

    When people say "the data on the computer should be encrypted" I usually reply "with what?"
    You cannot just encrypt the data, you can only
    encrypt a data with a key.
    Storing key on the same computer with the data
    is a waste of time and money, it's the same situation as storing the key from your apartment
    under the rug at the apartment's door.
    Of course some data can be mangled by MD5ng or
    SHAing (hashing) it -
    a good read about this (and related) technique is at Translucent Databases,
    but technically it's not an encryption.

    I have Corel PhotoPaint on Linux since 1999.

    In Mandrake 9.0 there is no real interface issues. Try it!
    In fact unexperienced users find it much more intuitive than Win2000, for example.
