    Ok, there it is (well, the tar-file and patches are still being up-loaded, but should be there soon).

    NTFS, XFS, FAT and CIFS updates. IDE cache-flush at shutdown fixes. ppc, sparc, s390 and ARM updates (and a few x86-64 fixes).

    Holler if I missed anything,

    Fair enough. :-)

    Excellent karma you got there btw.

  9. Re:Dont some on Morphing Plane Wings for Efficient Flights · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sorry to break your analogy but what has a liquid robot to do with a wing changing shape?

    The wing is bendable for getting a better airflow and a certain lift-force at a certain airspeed. This is far more efficient than the flaps that are used today bacause it has far less turbulance. Lots of fuell can be saved.

    And yup. You can fold the wings of an F14 closer to the airplane's body for less resistance. Ofcourse this is 'physical', just like the bending.

    Yup, good concept from a sellers point of view.

    Yeah, that airflow might really get your hand cold and stiff.

    No seriously. Most of us get RSI in our wrist. But if we cool our fingers we might get RSI there also.

  15. Not the computer on People Feel Loyalty To Computers · · Score: 1

    "People given the option of a range of PCs tended to have favourites, with some even prepared to wait in line to use a particular machine."

    This might have nothing to do with the computer.

    People in my class always took the computers where they could sit with their back to the walls. This way people couldn't peek at their screen without them noticing. This position also gives some seconds to close screens when a teacher enters the room. Also this position gives you less reflection .

    The software is equal on all computers, at least in a CITRIX-like environment.

  16. Consistency on People Feel Loyalty To Computers · · Score: 1


    It also reflected people's love of consistency, they said.

    Don't you just hate the lack of consistency of some software. Like crashes that seem to be arbitrary.

  17. Subpoena: for stupid people like me on IBM Subpoenas Several Companies in SCO Case · · Score: 5, Informative

    What about other codecs?

    Is it like a 'co-processor' that does certain calculations used for MPEG faster? That might make it useful for other codecs too.

    Or am I totally wrong?

    I can understand using lead-free fuel is rendable.

    The Earth became covered in a thin layer of lead, and lead is toxic to many living things (including humans).

    But don't you think the amount of lead in a motherboard is nihil?
