And where do you store the table that tells you 0/0/1 is mapped to 37/6/9? It doesn't matter how often you remap things, at some point you have to store a lookup table.
But a hard drive needs a FAT or something similar, which is generally going to live in one spot on the disk-- you're going to hit the max writes on that segment fairly quickly.
Not sure why this is crap. The first book was reviewed here last year, so the sequel is certainly newsworthy. I enjoyed the first one but did not know there was a sequel... isn't that the point of a news site?
Weirdo pedophile types will find them anywhere. Even without the book leading people to her page, pedophiles still would've found the pictures. When you create a web site you have to assume that all kinds of people will see it.
As for traffic-- if you post it, you have to be willing to deal with the traffic that comes. Being posted on slashdot today probably brought her more traffic than all the traffic the book itself did.
But Katie J is also being stupid with her whole "I can't use my domain blah blah blah" crap. How can she not mention her baby on her page because people are coming there? The whole point to the web is that it is PUBLIC and people will come and go. So people are reading, now she has to take everything down? Stupid.
Maybe if Yahoo spent some time developing a better client instead of wasting it trying to keep the third parties off, they wouldn't have this problem to begin with.
The reason is that accidents aren't caused by speed, they're caused by stupidity. People weaving in and out of traffic because someone won't get out of the left lane is what leads to accidents.
Look at the Autobahn. "Drive right" is the fundamental rule there, and things are significantly safer (although the fact that driver education is much more extensive than in the US also plays a role).

In Virginia, failure to yield the passing lane, regardless of speed, is illegal. Unfortunately, it's not enforced as often as it should be.

But the Texas Hold'em that all these tournaments use has no skill involved in the play of the cards-- it's dumb luck.
There is a lot of skill in the betting & bluffing side, but that's not really mathematical skill, it's more a social skill.
You're right, but I would rather they mandate "use the original locks" rather than "use expensive locks we sponsored" when the end result is the same-- a key they have access to.
Come on... American Tourister hard-sided luggage has used the same key for 40 years! Most soft-sided luggage comes with those cheap locks that open with a stupid key, and they're ALL the same.
I lock my luggage more for the guarantee that it won't come open when being handled than the security.
There is simply no reason the TSA couldn't get the keys for the main styles of suitcase locks currently in use. Four or five keys would open probably 95% of luggage.
This is just a way for a company to make money solving something that shouldn't be a problem to begin with.
Yes! iChat and the official Yahoo client (which I try not to run but it's the only Yahoo client that supports cameras) both do this, and it's annoying!
Fire and the official AIM client use HTML... much better.

My university (Virginia Tech) DOES block e-mail from coming to me. I've had arguments with them before about this-- IMHO, there is NO excuse for a spam filter to block a legitimate e-mail.
I can always delete spam, but I can never recover a lost e-mail that I didn't even know existed.
Definitely agree. I have the Brenthaven Professional 12 Shoulder bag for my 12" PowerBook and I wouldn't trust it to anything else-- much much better than any of the other bags I've seen.
I see ESR supporting software freedom, free speech, AND the right to own guns. I'm not his biggest fan either but his political beliefs lean much more to the libertarian side than most open source advocates, and I see that as a good thing.
They probably won't waste time suing, but with number portability up and running now, how long will it be before your old provider refuses to port your number until you pay the early termination fee?
This is part of what's wrong with our legal system these days. The contract I signed _clearly_ stated that it would auto-extend and it was clearly explained to me by the seller as well. If you sign it, then you should have to live by it. As stupid as auto-extending contracts are, they are still clearly defined and people need to learn to live with something they agree to.

Their OS X client sucks, so I just won't use them anymore. Do these people not understand that people use things like Trillian because they're BETTER?

No, he's a vocal libertarian. Try reading his web page.
Great, but this article is about ESR, a vocal libertarian.
