Besides, rumour has it reiserfs is a real killer file system
It sure is!
If by 'killer filesystem' you mean it will kill your files...
(ie after an unclean shutdown you can find all sorts of files have been spliced together in interesting ways, movie files with bits of text file in them, text files with bits of binary files in them, that sort of thing).
Well, 'under the hood' of OS X, it's really just Unix. As long as you have a decent knowledge of how Unix/BSD works, and a familiarity with a CLI, you can figure most everything else out.
Most everything... how about mount points? There appears to be an/etc/fstab which does nothing at all.
User and group management appears to be similar. I heard that it inherited this from Next, NeXT, NexT or however thats capitalised nowadays, but that this is changing in Leopard.
This is one thing that many of my PC-using friends complain about with respect to OS X
You are not kidding.
Most of the people I've ever met who were doing OSX support work have been little more than 'power users'.
I have, actually, yet to meet *anyone* who has anything like the level of 'under the hood' knowledge of OSX that even 'power users' of Linux or Windows have.
For my own part, I'd love to learn more about OSX and how things really work under the hood but so far have found very little info. I got 'the missing manual' but thats just 'how to be a power user'.
The second relates to the collection or possession of information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism."
Now whether that second charge requires the information to be being used to prepare for an apparent act of terrorism or not I don't know.
No, in the UK it is an offense to possess *any* information that *may* be useful in preparation of an act of terrorism.
This includes but is not limited to an A-Z map book of any UK city, any telephone books, the electoral roll, timetables for any public transport, tourist maps, signs indicating the location of public toilets and other amenities.
In short, all forms of knowledge are illegal in the UK.
A paravirtualised domU does not need a boot loader and does not even have access to its own kernel. Which is nice because you can give it an unmodular kernel which is more secure in as much as a user on that domU cannot load their own (potentially exploiting) kernel modules.
Its only an HVM domU that would need a boot loader and its own kernel.
I've read through TFA and the Xen mailing list and I can't see anything that says whether this affects both paravirtualised *and* HVM or just one or the other...?
In the case of paravirtualised, why on earth would the creating the domU even *look* for a/boot/grub/grub.conf in the domU filesystem?? Makes no sense at all.
Wait a minute... Moses and Jesus are different people? Now I'm confused. Next you'll be telling me the the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are, in fact, three entirely different entities...
This is the debian *STABLE* branch. In testing I imagine they would do it quickly...well, within a week.
Sure, and if you want to put up with the possibility that, eg, trying to use tab-completion will cause your shell to dump core then, by all means, use testing.
'Stable' cannot, in the real-world really mean 'nothing changes except security updates'. The world does not work like that, as this demonstrates.
If we were stuck on a gold or silver standard, we'd be in real trouble: there just isn't that much gold or silver around to make a a very good currency.
As I understand it, there is enough gold and silver out in the asteroids, even near-earth ones, to make gold and silver pretty well worthless should even one of them be mined.

Oh I got it all right.

I just thought I'd rub it in for those Reiser fan-boys out there

If you're a linux user, you probably don't care all that much - you keep your important data on your linux (ext3/reiserfs/whatever) partitions/drives.
Important data? On reiserfs?

Actually caused by strong feelings of insecurity. The secure don't need to attack to try to constantly prove their superiority.
Awesome.
You have just neatly explained for me almost all world-PvP activity in World of Warcraft.
Thank You.
Politics kills more people than crop failures.
Indeed.
Guns don't kill people, bombs don't kill people; politics kills people.

It certainly wasn't 'the finest available' though...
It would be better to say that there is little difference in salary; 'bias' has negative connotations of unfairness.
Hello??
Gender bias in salary is, somehow, not unfair?
The '80s called. They want their bias back.
So how, exactly, is this *not* organized crime?
Give a man a nuke and you give him a bargaining chip.
Teach a man to build his own nukes and you lose your monopoly on global terror.
The servers may actually be in Europe (or on an the Seyshelles where you can do diddly squat about them).
The Seychelles? What can you do about them?
You can encourage global warming and sea level rise. They better hope they have watertight server rooms...
Fight spam; warm the world!
Hah you just hate our freedom!
a Limited User account on XP are you vulnerable to this?
Can you run Adobe reader as a limited account on XP? I thought it would need power user priviledges at the very least...

Unfortunately the script runs within dom0, which is where the issue comes in
And so dom0 gets to run a script against content in a file in domU...
My God thats just insane and is *asking* for trouble!!!
What *moron* thought this would be a Good Idea???

What if my email CONTAINS video?! What then internet man?
Then your mail server admin takes you out back for a quiet chat and you are never seen nor heard of again.
Yep, I wrote to my MP about it, she said she agreed with me but all the other party drone MPs voted for it anyway.
And I bet that those 'other party drone MPs' all said the same thing to the people that wrote to them about it.
Have you actually used Debian testing? Or Debian at all?
Debian sysadmin for the last 6 years.
I've seen bad things happen to people foolish enough to install testing on systems they actually had to rely on.
but Moses parted the Red Sea not Jesus.
Wait a minute... Moses and Jesus are different people? Now I'm confused. Next you'll be telling me the the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are, in fact, three entirely different entities...

Well, i don't think it is necessary to elevate the viewing of a female avatars in an MMORPG to the level of porno, but OK. :P
The female night elf avatar in WoW has a 'joke' line something like:
"Ok I'm dancing again. Are your friends happy now?"
So, yeah...
I have no idea where you were going wit that and it is really fucked up. You may want to seek some counseling.
You didn't get the lyrical reference; these are the words from a piece by the band "King Missile" and yes it is really fucked up.
However, the *perception* it outlines regarding porno and the viewing of it is relevent here.
