Why could it not be setup such that so long as an Acceptable format was uploaded (DOC, ODT, WPD, etc) could be parsed into an XHTML 1.0 Compliant article.
One of the ways Microsoft prevents common sense, open solutions from developing is by clinging to baroque proprietary formats, withholding documentation, and various other caprices to prevent competitors from interoperating with its monopoly standards (Office, Windows). In addition, Microsoft indulges in whatever dirty tricks are necessary to suppress open document standards and their adoption.
Someone else lazily, and deliberately, equates "the progressive Left" with "those who would install Communism in America".
What an anachronistic piece of buffoonery, all too familiar from the lunatic fringe of the Right.
Can't you keep on-message? One year it's Terrorism is the Ultimate Enemy of Civilisation and Freedom. Now in 2009 we're, laughably, back to the Red Menace. What's it going to be next year? The Moors? Oh right. It's always open season on the Moors...
Now if you can just find sleeper cells of Arab Communists you'll be in freaking Wingnut Heaven. Stay tuned to FOX folks, you heard it here first.
Murder rates in the Brazilian backwater states are astronomical.
Watch the movie Manda Bala for more background on how far corruption permeates the state political systems (although current President Lula seems to be slowly driving it from the Federal system - which is perhaps the only reason that accountability is possible in cases like Souza's).
All that won't be news to most people: Crime, corruption, drugs, guns, murder in tropical states. But less known are the causes and effects. The roots of the problem are not infrequently traced to the First World, in the form of cheap cash crops (in the Amazon region), and obviously drugs (more visibly in other South American countries). But the effects are even more tragic: Environmental and social destruction on an incredible scale.
It seems that, despite (or rather, because of) Murdoch's strangehold on your media, most people really don't understand the megabadness of Murdoch.
I know, I know, soooo 20th Century... so I'll boil it down for you geeks: You know the Jedi Emperor? Murdoch doesn't just look like that guy - in the cast of malignities afflicting the planet, he *is* that guy.
Google for more. You'll be surprised what you didn't know about old Rupe.
But again, most cases of ZFS pool loss where some believe a scavenger may have saved them, may actually have been solved by more aggressive rollback (I believe work is being done on this).
The point of ZFS is it is *end-to-end*. Any part of the chain can silently introduce errors. Even if you believe "most likely an error will be in the memory buffer written by my application", I do not see how you can extrapolate that "checksumming file blocks is pointless."
Can you not imagine other failure modes? Even leaving aside unlikely (but possible) silent failures such as "wrote correct data to the wrong sector," what happens in an ordinary powerfail when only half of a mirror has been written? Ordinary RAID systems have absolutely no recourse. ZFS does.
Checksumming is of great protective value. You can verify this by following the ZFS mailing list. Silent write failures are more frequent than you might guess (for example, an often-reported cause is marginal power supplies).

Anyone too stupid to realise that the WHOLE POINT of SharePoint was always total lock-in, deserves what they get.
Touché. And guess which ruling cabal just lost one election they didn't plan to lose. This only gets uglier from here...

Hint: The biggest dangers to Americans have nothing to do with terrorism.
..and the sooner people learn that, the better. Studying ZFS' design reveals a great deal about what RAID simply cannot achieve.
In other news, stalking wild predators "may be signaling at least their lack of active intent to" eat you.
Gullible much?

"Truth is that in many markets it's now a grand choice of Intel, Intel and Intel."
Which helps explain why AMD has an antitrust suit against Intel.
Why compare 2 Intel products? Where's the comparison with AMD, or - in a perfect world - low-power, high-threads SPARC?
Intel == destructive monopoly, quit playing into their hands. Up next: Worthless comparisons of Vista and W7...
This is the first outage I've heard of
It is not the first prolonged Gmail outage.
Bart did it. Those Zen monks were just stupid, weren't they!
Violate my soundmark on one hand face-palming. This suit is plain batshit ridiculous.

IBM had the SHARE organisation since 1955.
In other words, the open source philosophy has been part of IBM's DNA since before most of us were born.
Don't encourage him. :/
So why post as AC? Come out of the closet!

Dashboard widgets, Dashcode IDE.
And then, after infecting Australia with the tabloid poison, he went on to destroy journalism in the UK, and the rest of the world. What a hero.
Long day...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
No prior art here. OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Not even Jabber or XMPP, let alone SMTP. And those are just what immediately come to mind.
I'd rephrase that. It eliminates the common cases where you'd need fsck on a conventional filesystem.
ZFS' design makes consistency failure extremely unlikely. I understand why they claim it doesn't need fsck ("always consistent on disk"). There is controversy over whether there should be a scavenging tool. Some people want one for peace of mind.
But again, most cases of ZFS pool loss where some believe a scavenger may have saved them, may actually have been solved by more aggressive rollback (I believe work is being done on this).
Anyone interested in this issue should follow the ZFS mailing list.
