  2. ipod sucks for jogggers on Rumors of Mini iPods · · Score: 1
    Hi run 3-4 times a week, 3-6 miles each time, I don't take my ipod with me anymore.

    • Once it's played all teh songs in the cache it freezes up. The HDD cant handle reading while bouncing up and down. You have to walk for a few steps while it sloops up the next 32MB.
    • It's too heavy to run comfortably with.
    • Wouldnt bet it doing the ipod any good either

  8. A few other nice XFS features on XFS Merged into Linux 2.4 · · Score: 5, Informative
    ...no one has mentioned yet:
    (from http://www.sgi.com/software/xfs/overview.html)

    Guaranteed Rate I/O
    XFS is the only file system available that provides a guaranteed rate I/O system, which allows applications to reserve specific bandwidth to or from the file system. The file system can determine the available bandwidth and guarantee that a requested level of performance is met for a given time. This functionality is critical for media delivery systems such as video-on-demand or data acquisition.

    Expanded Dump Capabilities
    Unlike traditional file systems, which must be dismounted to guarantee a consistent dump image, you can dump an XFS file system while it is being used. The XFS dump utility, XFSdump, can dump an entire filesystem, a directory tree, or specific files. XFSdump is restartable, which allows a large dump to be spread over an extended period of time or to be resumed after a system restart.

  21. mod_rewrite is your friend on Microsoft Fires Mac Fan For Blog Photo · · Score: 1
    One way to give yourself limited protection is to use Apache's mod_rewrite function to send visitors from your corporate net to a dull page using a configuration entry like this:


    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REMOTE_HOST} ^1\.2\.3\.4$
    RewriteRule ^/$ /blank.html

    If you have Apache set up properly you can use domain names instead of IP Address ranges
