Never mind that Microsoft has been promising its "innovative" native database/filesystem (copying an idea from IBM's hugely successful OS/400) for more than ten years now.
Oh, so creating a new filesystem because everyone else is isn't posing at all, is it?
Hubble is a great telescope, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, ground based telescopes now are able to get around the distortion of the atmosphere to obtain even better images of the stars than Hubble ever could. I'd hate to see Hubble go, but as long as NASA keeps supporting doomed projects such as the ISS, I think we are going to be saying goodbye soon.
Within five minutes after I posted that, it was given a -1, despite the fact there was a spam two posts below it that was completely off-topic. Isn't the mod system great?

--I don't know much about fighter planes but didn't the F-14 Tomcat (or something like that) have this ability to change its wingspan from being outward during regular flight and coming inwards during dog-fighting for more maneuverability?
Around Mach 1, the F-14 sweeps it's wings in to reduce stability and lessen the drag. It extends them at lower speeds for maneuverability and lift, and for dogfighting.

Linux doesn't *need* a new filesystem to keep up with windows.
If they don't need one, why are they talking about making one?
You Linux users are just jealous that us Windows users don't have a 4GB file limitation. :D

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

From the article: "He was 84."

I wonder if they have ever heard of variable geometry swing wings. They seem to work well on teh F-14, F-111, B-1B, MiG-23/27, etc.
