"Phillips says that Tux2 offers Linux users the chief advantage of a journaling
filesystem (namely, keeping files safe in the event of a system crash) but
without a journal, and does so more efficiently."
"Linux lacks a commercial quality Journaling File System. This means that in the
event of a system failure (such as a power outage) data loss or corruption is
possible. In any event, the system must check the integrity of the file system
during system restart, a process that will likely consume an extended amount of
time, especially on large volumes and may require manual intervention to
reconstruct the file system."
I wonder what Microsoft will say if Tux2 takes off?
Slashdot Mirror
keyless keyboard...
This that anything like a bandwithless server?
Here's a little "how to" put it on a web page for those that care. (requires php)
1. Create the file vote.sh in your root web dir
2. chmod it 755
3. add the following code to your web page:
<?
//show current florida vote
system('./vote.sh > vote.txt');
include("vote.txt");
?>
Note: This is quick and dirty and probably not the safest way to do it.
I would be surprized if there ever is a Linux
version. Netzero makes their money from the
banner ad rotator.
How long do you think it would take to "fix"
that peskey add rotator thing in Linux?

I wonder how much grant money it took to figure that out....
"Free (as in beer) posters. (You just have to figure out how to get past their poorly coded form validation to order one...). "
What does Tripwire get for open sourcing their
product?
20,000 free poster orders from leeching slashdoters! Shame on you!
(Of course I went and ordered my free poster before bitching about it...)
just a guess but they are probably using Litestep as well.it would be the easiest way to get the screen shots in director.

120bps is pretty impressive.

Thanks for reminding me... I forgot one.
6. Furby MUD server
"Once Furby has been hacked, my goal is to give it a Java API allowing the device to become a general Java engine."
You know what's coming next...
1. Furby Webserver
2. Furby Home based mail server
(see earlier story)
3. Furby Quake engine
4. Furby running Linux
...and finally
5. The BeoFurby Custer
AAHHHHH!

"but with no clearly defined streets
in the sky, you couldn't exactly do red lights and stuff like we do now"
You don't need traffic lights. People flying
in differnt directions would just fly at differnt
alitutes.

North 2000'

South 500'
Of course this would not help tried to land...
From the Microsoft website:
"Linux lacks a commercial quality Journaling File System. This means that in the event of a system failure (such as a power outage) data loss or corruption is possible. In any event, the system must check the integrity of the file system during system restart, a process that will likely consume an extended amount of time, especially on large volumes and may require manual intervention to reconstruct the file system."
I wonder what Microsoft will say if Tux2 takes off?
"If we patented these methods of world destruction, could the human race survive forever?"
No, But if we patented "1 click" world distruction then the world would be safe for at least 5 to 7
years while the legal battle ensued.
