  1. Reiser v4 on 'Storage' to Replace Traditional Filesystems? · · Score: 1

    Isn't ReiserFS going to address the same feature set, but from the other direction, with balanced B-Trees?

  2. Re:Ahh, teletypes. on Wiring A Vintage Teletype To The Internet · · Score: 2, Informative
    I used a lot of antiquated equipment back when, well, before it was antiquated. Including, but not limited to, a teletype and a 300 baud modem.


    The Computer Museum in Boston closed several years ago, but apparently their hardware went to the Computer History Museum.

  3. Process Control on Will Humanoid Robots Take All the Jobs by 2050? · · Score: 1

    Its one of the harded things to get right. Simple operations, at least to a human, are very difficult for automated systems. We're very close to having the data sensory equipment for such robots, but we're still not there in terms of control software.

    There have been plenty of robots performing complex tests, but they have problems with real world situations. And no, I don't think the US Navy's attempt to run a frigate with an NT server counts!

  4. Being bought on Saving the Net · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This is a frequent criticism of Modern Democracy. For the moment we'll hold aside the fact that Ancient Democracy was available only to property-holding males (something the republicans I'm sure would love to bring back). Ancient Democracy was not about getting paid, in salary or in kind; in was civic duty.

    Modern Democracy, at least as practiced in the USA, is all about money. And as has been said about corruption, "...follow the money." Why don't american politicians finally prove that they're not the lords of a corrupt system, but the leaders of a just system and ban soft money.
