I would never consider XFS for a normal system, because is keeps a unusual big amount of data in the ram, so an unusual big amount of data can get lost. This can easily become 4GB if you have the spare ram.
I tried JFS for some years, and I could not notice a speed improvement over ReiserFS3 (although there most certainly was one). The thing I could notice was that the recovery was not very good and I lost data in strange ways. (Like in normal usage.) I hope that i was a bug in the driver and got fixed. But there was not much activity or support for it at that time. (~2005)
So I ditched it and went back to ReiserFS3. I'm quite happy with it because I did not run into problems.
One important point is to use SMART, so you can distinguish file system errors from hard disk errors, and throw oud HDs early enoug, even if yu don't have much money. 250GB of lost data is worth MUCH more than the 35 that the disk costs. (I would have to shoot myself it the data went away. For real!)
Well. First, most AVIs you see today are a hack to make them work. The original format had indeed flaws. Additionally it can't go over 2GB.
Then, Matroska can do as much streams as you want. 4 video streams (eg. stereoscopic view from two perspectives), 5 audio streams (eg. different languages), 20 subtitle streams (translations), chapters, streamability (AVI is not made to be streamed [eg. over the net]), cover picture and text included, being aware of other parts of a set, and of the right order to play them, and much more. All this is possible with Matroska. (As many internal streams as you like of course!) Additionally it's a kind of binary XML (EBML), so you can add other tags, contents and so on. I wrote a parser for it myself. In JavaScript (!), as a client-server stream for a WebApp. So it's easy to implement.
I could not think of a better container format. Which makes other formats "flawed" (missing those features) in my eyes.:)
Men think primarily with the logical part. Women primarily with the emotional part.
So if you say something to a women, it does not matter so much what it means, as what emotions it carries. If she tells you something, listen to the emotions that it carries too.
That way you are going to intuitively understand each other. Of course you can also expect her to do the translation work instead of you. But in a discussion, often the emotions are too heated for her to be able to focus on the logic. Be nice and switch to emotional communication, and all will be fine.
One result of this is, that women like to enjoy every emotion there is. Sometimes they want to argue, just for the feeling of it. Or cry while watching a movie, just to feel that emotion. It's fun to them. And I must admit, playing with your own emotions and training them like that, starts to be fun for me too. I see it like a sport in emotional power. That way it can be manly too. (It's a *sport*!;)
I hope this helps you. I certainly opened my eyes.
And every time... I do not care. Because I am right. No matter if they praise me or hate me. In fact, analyzing their characters would even prove me right.
It's a sad day, when even on Slashdot, people start to think, an extreme criminal like Microsoft is...just... "Ok". Or worse: That they are not bad.
Read up the history. The number of crook tactics. The destruction of companys, technologies and freedoms that we love. The MS people changing seats with government people. The insults that they call products. Not a single Idea coming from them, but instead semi-legally copied from others without giving credit. Internal letters about the "Microsoft way" of destroying other companies and FUD tactics.
If you still thing one single word in my GP is wrong or not worth mentioning, then you're either retarded, or ignorant asshole. I'm sorry, but being blind of reality is normally a feature that only ignorant assholes (like creationists) possess.
DivX is a CODEC (enCOder+DECoder) for the MPEG4 video format. You can play DivX encoded videos with every MPEG4-compatible decoder. Every other information is only deliberate disinformation by DivX Inc. to sell you their trash.
But why would you use such an outdated and non-free codec in the first place, when there are enough alternatives. There are x264, XviD, Theora as video encoders, Matroska and Ogg as containers, Vorbis, MP3 and too many other formats and encoders to count for audio.
And nowadays eveybody who watches downloaded films has those on his disk anyway (except maybe for Theora and the Ogg DirectVideo demuxer).
Everybody knows that they voted this trash that they call a "standard", because Microsoft bought them. And everybody knows that they are doing this for the same reason. It does not even matter if it is Microsoft. This is the behavior of someone who has no soul and would sell his mother for a dollar.
When you try to destroy openness and someone blocks you, you fail. When you then scream that the others want to destroy openness, that's an epic fail.
OMG! I LOVE you, Firefox!:D I had AdBlock Plus enabled. And I will leave it that way, never knowing how much ads are there. Sorry Roland. No cookie for you.
You thought the same thing as I did. There's nothing special about 380 km/h for a train. Even at constant speed. The only variable that's slowing things down for regular operation, are rail tracks that are not made fore that speed. But there are tracks that are (eg. where they tested the trains). Just not on all tracks, because that would cost a buttload of money.
"Government" by *some* people... is inherently flawed and doomed to fail in the long run. The reason for this is the conflict of interests between the leader's personal interests and the interests of the people he has to lead. It only works, as long as there are common interests, as in any relationship. But because of the basic nature of humanity - whether you deny it or not -, to work for the own propagation*, those that became leaders, did so to gain more resources via power. Which means: Less resources for the rest.
So to get a working government, you either have to put masochists up, who - because of some behavioral disorder - put themselves below the people, or you create an open system that lets the people themselves decide. This is what metagovernment.org tries to do, although they are still far from the more advanced model I'm developing. But we'll see...
___ * Which is why you exist. Because your parents could get the resources to propagate. Nowadays you have to count the mental resources and propagation too. Also nowadays, you begin to get into bigger resource conflicts, that were not there some millennia ago. So nowadays, this conflict or interests becomes more and more visible. Prepare for some hefty civil wars as soon as food problems reach the "western" states.

Slashdot Mirror
...as soon as they allowed others to block sites from bugmenot.
They killed the point of using them.
Nowadays more and more sites are blocked on bugmenot.
So much in fact that I uninstalled the Firefox* add-on.
Does anyone know an alternative?
Preferably one that's offshore and will not bow to any idiot sending them a complaint.
* The Firefox spell checker does not know the word "Firefox"? WTF? ;)

This question has long been solved.

Definitely someone from the extended twitter family.
...and the thousands of satellites in orbit.
Troll?
Have you moderators lost your humor, or has twitter got some modpoints?
Listen: With a behaviour like that, you're no better than twitter.
Or is that some american racism-related overreaction? That would be even more horrible.

I second that.

Guess what: Germany is one of - if not THE - largest exporter in the world.
Even much stuff from China in fact belongs to German firms.
Get some perspective!
Yes it is.

The term you meant is "corporate feudalism". Complete with bondslaves, millitary and a strict hierarchy.
"Industrial feudalism" could fit it too.
This reminds me of something...

Hey, my work IS sex, you insensitive clod!
P.S.: Now it's your turn to imagine, how's I'm getting out of this again... :D
Unfortunately you can also bet that China (as all other governments) are going to use it to select "acceptable" viewpoints only.
There, fixed that for ya.

In Haskell, there is the command "fold" (foldr or foldl) for this. What's so special about this?
Haskell has "map", "filter", "zip" "reverse" and whatnot...
(... why must I think of Missy Elliott songs now?)
...the more you wear it down by using it. (eg. bigger files, more files used.)
Isn't that the whole point of a bigger drive?
...that they will be worn out in 0.1 seconds? (If typical wear-out numbers apply.)
I'll pass, and rather go with something reliable... ...now where did I put my chisel?
What...?
You...are... Stallman??
That would explain a *lot*. :D
P.S.: In German, "Stallmann" means "barn man". But in Germany, when you think of a barn, you think of cows/pigs, manure and dirt. :)))
