I'm in XP Professional x64 now and by default it changes filenames only in Explorer. Does Vista index network shares? (My big gripe with Desktop search for XP)
Too vague a dinner plate is a circle from a particular vantage. As is a sphere from any vantage. As is a cylinder from a particular vantage. Thus, I declare that the earth is really a cylinder of unknown depth as it realigns itself at the speed of thought to always remain at the circle-appearing perspective to the observer.
Do we have to loose coastal Florida or New York City before they admit there's a problem?
I haven't been pedantic in a while, so:
1. Incorrect use of loose.
2. You can't lose Florida coastline, unless it recedes to above Florida's northernmost border.
3. unless #2 happens, the Florida coastline has merely changed.
I don't think you can do that in windows. Never used swap on my audio workstation (only 1G of memory), but I have 2 G in my windows machine and It still uses the pagefile.
What does NFS have to do with anything? We are talking about UNIX not one of many Network File Systems.
NFS is a SERVICE. In the same way that CIFS is the Windows analogue. We are talking about file permissions not outdated file networking.
OSX uses HFS+ as it's preferred file system. Windows NT4+ uses NTFS. Notice I did not mention NFS. Unix does not use NFS in the OS any more than Windows has a CIFS partition.
Perhaps it was a typo, but apples to apples please.
Now that we have that out of the way. allow me to elaborate on my previous post.
A group is a CONTAINER for USERS. A shamoo bottle is a container. A FedEx truck is a container. how you layer them is irrelevant to the operating system.
a nifty tidbit from said article: "Tiger also does away with the 16-group limit from Panther and earlier versions of Mac OS X. Now a user can belong to any number of groups. More interestingly, groups can be nested, creating a hierarchy of groups. For example, the "staff" group could encompass all employees, while the "managers" group could be a subset of "staff," and "executives" could be a subset of "managers," and so on."
Please get your facts straight.
So back to you original post, what "standard" Unix Filesystem were you referring to. From what I understand, you choose the filesystem to meet the needs. The fact that you can use a specialized filesystem when you need to is a strength if you ask me.
Hell, use UFS for some stuff, Ext* for other stuff, HFS(+) for still others. How many Filesystems can Windows use? 4 out of the box? (Fat, Fat32, NTFS, CIFS)
That is a semantic issue, not a technical one. If joe, bob and lisa are a part of group A, and ricky,fido, and rachel are a part of group B.
group C can easily contain joe, lisa, bob, ricky, fido, and rachel. It's a matter of assigning the users to the proper group. ther is no need to assign more than one group to a file. Groups are a collection of users. Whether the group has 40 users or 4, there is no rule that says users can't fit into a several differing groups at the same time.
Multiple groups for a resource sounds like laziness, not a "feature".
What can you do in windows that you can't do with chmod? I'm not trolling. I can't think of something allowed under NTFS permissions NOT allowed by the chmod range 0000 thru 1777.
agreed. I use Linux quite a bit. Used Slack 7-10, RH 7-9 FC3-5, Mandrake 8-2005, Suse9,10, a few gentoos, etc. Even built some from scratch. Currently running Fedora Core 5 with the CCRMA low latency kernel for audio work. When you have work to get done and need to add an app quickly, yum is quite painless. It would be nice if it could './configure && make && make install' as well and resolve THOSE dependencies. (still can't get lmms to compile)
Granted I haven't used rpm itself in quite awhile. last 2 distros were gentoo and mandrake.
We could do a scientific experiment. Nuke Here: +33 20' 24.00", +44 23' 24.00" with a couple Megatons and see how far into the arctic the particulates get.
A device that would display on the dashboard whether your car is sufficiently far back from the car in front by taking into account the speed of you, of the car in front and based on your driving history(displayed reaction time(trainable?))and calculate the required stop time based on your vehicle's published stopping distance.
bonus points for image rec and know the car in front's published stopping distance.
Turning a girl away because she likes PS3 may be a good thing. If she doesn't already have said console, she may expect you to buy it for her as a tribute. (Diamond earrings are cheaper)
It's not really up to the consumers. Unfortunately. Linux needs:
Quickbooks (not Gnucash)
World of Warcraft
Photoshop (not Gimp)
MS-Office (or OpenOffice with 100% interoperability and renamed symlinks with "Word" substituting "Write" etc.)
an IE clone that LOOKS ans ACTS the same as IE (including the bad stuff)
etc.
etc.
Users are used to Windows. They are used to the programs that they use in Windows. Why should they change? they don't buy Windows, they buy a computer...with Windows.
If they got a Linspire machine or whatever, they would be mad when the kid's game that came in the box of Life Ceral they bought yesterday doesn't work.
The DEVELOPERS need to make the switch before anyone else can.

We shall se how she deals with OSX.
We just need a control group....
