The current version of NTFS (the predominant file system within Windows 2000 and XP), does not handle full-fledged journaling; change-journal logs note alterations to files but can't provide enough information to reverse them. Microsoft won't be offering full-fledged journaling until it releases the next major version of Windows which is expected in 2005. That version will include file system technology that Microsoft is developing as part of its "Yukon" SQL Server database, Microsoft has said.

there is a difference between code optimization and having a printer driver bluescreen your system. You go do your real work using your server as a workstation, and have fun. Maybe you can have Micosoft rewrite their protected memory to give you better fps with the icon shadows on the desktop. Or maybe write a journalled filesystem or something.
The underlying NT is quite well-designed (originally by David Cutler of VMS, amongst others, as I believe), and a reasonably flexible system upon which to develop applications. Microsoft's not going to give it up any time soon. It's what's run on top that's wrong with Windows.
Umm, having a printer driver crash an NT server is flawed design from the get-go. Having an unhandled exception fall through successive rings all the way past ring 0 is a flaw. Intermingling kernel and userspace through anything but deliberate and well defined interfaces is bad design!
But doesn't the CLR merely turn the byte-code into machine code? Maybe I'm oversimplifying things here, but I would assume that those could be compiled as well, the same way any #INCLUDE statement would do it. The benefit to this would be able to compile the same source using a mono compiler, and get the benefits of Mono, but where it isn't needed, just compile it to native lang.
As long as things don't fork (big if here), we should be fine.
First, release a C# compiler for linux. If you can get developers to user C# that compiles to native code so that it's not dependant on the CLR, then you can introduce the cross-platform aspects of it.
If you want a free (as in beer) corporate networking environment, then a lot of work has to go into linux. Where is the answer to Microsoft's Active Directory? Kerberos and Pam OpenLDAP? Ever set that up? It's different for every distro and it's dicey at best. Screw up your PAM files, and you're in a whole whack of trouble. NIS has been discounted as generally insecure. There is no NIS+ server for linux. The only thing that comes close (and beats the hell out of it too) is Novell's e-directory, but this is going to steer your distro choices. We need a clear, defined network transport, network authentication, and profile management tool, that allows multiple networks to be configured, a different form of network transport (based on user privelidge, not machine) and while we're at it, a graphical infrastructure that we can define services that will run on a server and use x-forwarding. If you have a strange app that needs a million dependancies that the workstations don't need, just compile it on the server, put a link in the gui, and the clients will query the servers for a list of applications, and then run the whole thing over an ssh tunnel, without having to type your password over again.
Give me that, and make it easy to install, and I'll convert 50 desktops tomorrow.
Just as anecdotal evidence, Video games have become popular and chic at about the time both parents went to work, leaving these children at home to raise themselves. Without guidelines and supervision, these children grew up into a 'Lord of the Flies' society. They make their own society based upon their life experiences, which are few. They do not learn the difference of right and wrong, only that the strong and fast make it to the next round.
As mommy and daddy dearest buy lots of luxury items to combat the guilt of not being around with their now combined six figure salary, they teach their young a very important lesson: Stuff is free. Binding that with their other life experiences, including the strong make it to the next round, and when a guy calls you a l053r, you go out of your way to make his gaming experience a lot less enjoyable, coupled with the fact that there is no punishment for rude behaviour (How's that guy going to kick your ass physically, when he doesn't even know where you live?) then what you've done is create a breeding ground for social miscreants. And these miscreants do not have the social skills that other violent parasites who festered in the hate inducing, parent screaming sports-culture have. At least Jocks have had their asses handed to them physically once or twice.
It's not the violence of the video game that causes it, it's the lack of life experience and extended boundaries that allow already mentally unstable psychopaths to flourish until they are old enough to do some damage, or to scrape up enough money to buy a gun.
You can blame video games all you want. You can blame the parents all you want. You can blame bullying all you want. You can even blame pornography. It is not any one of those that make a killer, but a random combination of factors that press upon a child until it twists his reality, presses on his psyche, and warps his view of the world. Removing one factor may break the chain, but it also creates room for the other factors to press harder and harder.
And if people cannot see this, if the "psycologists" (a bunch of fucking quacks that couldn't make it through Jungian theory) cannot see this, if society cannot see this, then, I fear, that all is lost. We have become an irrational, reactionary, backwards society, far from enlightenment.
Journalists sources are most definitely NOT protected. Journalists do not have a legal right to obstruct justice.
It's been a long standing tradition, but there is no federal law concerning it. This has all been explained due to the outing of a CIA operative by a republican schill.
I think that with all of their developer apis, etc., we will see Microsoft the way it should have been.
I don't particularly care how they integrate all of their disparate information stores, but if they continue to give us access to the information (and nout just access to the presentation of the information) then they can take the little chunk of my soul that has not been whithered by cynicism and mstrust for organizations.
And if you think that I'm a nut, I know a guy who would fill 50 gallon drums with chicken shit and hay to form compressed methane to burn for cooking fuel and light. I've never tried it. Personally I can't stand chickens, and I'd have no need for it if I can generate enough electricity to cook with.
Think of it all as one of those crank-up radios on steroids. Maybe I'll get one of those 4-wheeled Segway's that were on here a while back/ and become totally self-reliant.
Give them the razor, sell them the blades comes to mind (and is a good source for a pun). If IBM kicks its fabs into full production, starts putting their power chips into millions of devices, and really nails the world on the whole 'digital convergence' crap, Microsoft's $2000 Tivo will be nothing.
How far could you push a generic box? Linux is a router, is a tivo, is a phone system, is a PC, is a whatever you dream up. Sell a platform for it, do what Dodge did with the K-car, and sit back and count the cash.
Maybe that's why they teamed up with Sony for the PS3?/random speculation
The engine will not auto start, as the flywheel has to turn , which it will not if you have removed the alternator belt. But the headlights would be a good indication of when you would have enough juice to start.
If you haven't removed the alternator belt, you'd have a better chance of crank-starting the engine than you would charging the battery (i.e. very little chance). And you have to replace the alternator belt otherwise you won't make it very far.
Interestingly enough, you could use an alternator as an electrical turbine connected to a UPS to generate your own power (or two if your UPS is 24 volt). Windmills, hydroelectric dams, all powered by junk. If you wanted to go even further, you could even build a power supply that made use of the 12 volts, and split it into 12, 5, and 3.3 volt rails and run your PC. Your monitor would be a little trickier, but an LCD screen should be straightforward to get the proper voltages.
I guess it's time for me to grab some industrial-strength alternators and give this a shot. Too bad I don't live on a stream.
The starter motor takes a lot of juice to turn over the engine, somewhere in the neighbourhood of 200 Amps. Unless you're really good, there is no way you're going to be able to turn that alternator as fast as your engine can. I would say that a minimum of ten minutes would be needed to get enough juice into the battery to start. Newer alternators have the regulator circuits built into them, so you could theoretically rig up a bicycle to do it, if you had tools to remove the alternator, and a spare bicycle. But if you're going to carry all that for just such an emergency, just throw an old marine battery in your trunk. Marine batteries last a long time, and give out the same cranking amps until they are dead.
The alternator only has one belt on it. Most of the time there is a tensioner that will allow you to slide the belt off without cutting it (in the event of a single serpintine belt), but this belt has to be replaced to run the car, as it runs the water pump. Older vehicles have two belts, one that runs the power steering and water pump, one that runs the alternator and A/C. You can safely cut that one off, charge the battery, then replace it with the pantyhose. Just remember, you're going to have to spin that alternator like Lance Armstrong, but ten minutes at high RPM should work.
I'll give you a hint; spin the alternator really fast with the ignition key on. Pantyhose work wonders for a makeshift engine belt, but are difficult to explain to the wife when she finds them wadded up in your glovebox.

Suprisingly it works for a variety of situations.
You can turn them off in your preferences.
but skip the DRM part. Or if you want to release the specs for the DRM part, by all means...
Sounds like you need a kick in the boxen.
Let the h4X0rs have their word, it makes it easy to filter resumes.
