To the second question, the namespace of SQL is much more complex than a filesystem hierarchy can handle. If you don't believe me, you haven't done enough SQL work.
If you want a filesystem that is really a database back-end and works as fast as one, try using ReiserFS and reading the docs, especially v4.
I'm sure the average flight data recorder box could easily survive the actual number of Gs you'd be able to throw at it with a vehicle (and that's significantly less than 80 times the force of gravity).
You do realize that surgeons in some hospitals are now initialling the part of the patient's body requiring surgery, detailing the surgical procedure in shorthand and then double-checking all the info before surgery in the OR because of the number of mistakes made?
You do realize this is *without* Windows managing to screw up the patient database and getting the information wrong.
There are numerous horror stories of getting the wrong transplant, the wrong knee fixed, etc. already. The computers that maintain that data often run Windows now. At the very least, the client machines do.
The original poster mentionned that they may be well spread out.
You'd need to find two galaxies colliding in the area of space where the antimatter galaxies meet the normal galaxies if they were half and half.

I was thinking a lot of the same things when I saw this power supply (and that Antec's NeoPower looks like a better design, personally).
I've been a big fan of Elan Vital's power supplies for a long time (also available under an american distributor for direct purchase -- see the AMS Mercury EVR-4607 if you want a gorgeous redundant power supply for ATX cases).
They have active PFC, high efficiencies, good clean power, lots of fans, not terribly loud, and very large connectors internally (low resistance, good connections). On top of that, they're very compact. I've got a client running the above EVR-4607 very happily and another running the redundant power supply built into their S50 server case.
Sorry though, they don't glow in the dark or have windows. But the EVR-4607 does have a removable side panel to upgrade or replace its internal ciruitry.
Linux is further than Windows 95 ever was at most of those things; the big difference is installed user base and OEM support. With users, companies *would* make Linux versions of games. Not emulated, but native versions. The XBox didn't exist one year, the next it has users, then people write games for it. Get it?
I'd say 50% of the Linux problem with desktop computing is that *most* of us Linux-on-the-desktop users don't buy hardware from well-known OEMs like Dell, Compaq, etc. We build our own machines and the fact that we'd like Linux to be distributed by those OEMs is irrelevant to them.
Blu-Ray is actually designed to be a rewritable format from the get-go. I'm sure anti-piracy features are built-in as well, but I doubt size is one of them unlike the physical dimensions of a GameCube disc.
Years ago I was on the Gnome GUI mailing list and posted numerous statements along the lines of "advanced users should be allowed to do what they want to do in the GUI" and "beginning users shouldn't be confronted with things they don't need or care about".
I even diagrammed (invented?) a launch program that, when you double-clicked a file, would give you a list of choices of what to do with it. Who's using that feature now? Microsoft.
The Gnome development team has a problem -- they don't care about non code-developping persons' opinions. If you don't write the code, you don't get a say. That argument may hold in a kernel worldview, but in a GUI world where the decisions you make affect a majority proportion of your users who are not developpers, it just doesn't hold water.
That said, Gnome is becomming more user-friendly, but still pretty good at avoiding suggestion.
For what its worth, I'd already found that but thanks -- I was actually refering to that *version* of Nautilus -- it had several other features that are now missing.
Also worth pointing out is that there's no good reason why I shouldn't get that nice info screen *and* my tree view.
But for other peoples' ideas on how to browse files, make sure you check out what Raster's working on these days (looks great):
You should consider explaining that BitTorrent is an FTP-replacement type package and provide some links to (for example) RedHat ISOs being available via BitTorrent.
Personally (having worked at an ISP), a contract stating that you can't trade Copyright material to which you have no rights is more useful than a general no-P2P rule.
If I bid $150 for 1000 shares it doesn't mean I want 1000 shares. It means I'm willing to spend $150000 on Google stock at $150 a share.
If I get those shares for $110 a share, I'll take my $40000 that I saved and spend it on more shares if possible; I was willing to spend $150000, remember?
There are commercial graphics accelerators for Windows that work very well -- commercially developped PCI and AGP video drivers that are more well-written than the stock ones from the manufacturer. See SciTech for more info... and no, I don't work for them:)
PS, they do the same thing for Linux XFree86 drivers as well.
What I find most interesting about american history is that the right to bear arms is partly in existance to allow the common man to rebel against their leadership should the leadership be corrupt, etc. as they did against England.
However, you'd better be successful the first time; the Secret Service are hired to specifically keep you from attempting or succeeding in such an attempt.
Being canadian, I see no need for weapons; I just elect an irrational liar on purpose every four years, sit back and criticize his decisions.
Ditto; I give out slightly customized versions of my address on websites and whatnot so I can track where my spam is coming from. Other than that, I want my potential clients to be able to reach me easily.
Slashdot Mirror
You might want to look at this slashdot story about the subject, or as it mentions, this FAQ about the Newton OS (yes, the Apple Newton).
The Newton was very revolutionary in file storage; read and weep.

I'm sure the average flight data recorder box could easily survive the actual number of Gs you'd be able to throw at it with a vehicle (and that's significantly less than 80 times the force of gravity).
See some info on flight data recorders, and note the impact tolerance; 3400Gs/6.5ms.
More importantly, the download site itself now says:
Select any of these torrent links to begin downloading:
* Windows XP Service Pack 2
(other torrent files removed after take-down notice from microsoft.)
Get over it.
PS, don't bother modding me down; I already chose "No Karma Bonus" myself.
You're a moron ... no offence ;-)

I bought a 386SX-20 with an IIT math coprocessor in 1990 I believe it was; paid about $2100 canadian.

I loved the old Nautilus version I had that had viewer modes -- with a tree option on the left much like the old Finder views.
I miss that Nautilus... I want it back
Why don't you just start a BitTorrent download on that server and leave it running? That way you can help out all the BitTorrent users automatically.
What I find most interesting about american history is that the right to bear arms is partly in existance to allow the common man to rebel against their leadership should the leadership be corrupt, etc. as they did against England.

Not if you use the "collapse" option. Adblock then removes the item and rerenders without it.
That's funny, adblock kept me from noticing that bug.
Or you can be like me and rent DVDs until HD-DVDs are available, *then* start purchasing.
I'd be quite happy to pre-order several movies on an HDTV resolution DVD format.
There's nothing preventing Microsoft from selling the GNU tools for Linux tomorrow.
They'd have to allow for source access as well as binary, but that doesn't matter much now does it?

I wouldn't deal with a company that sued its own users as SCO has. Especially for the reasons they've done it.
