When I got a Nextel phone i didn't get the text messaging service. Next thing I know I get couple ad type text messages from Nextel, when I got the bill I was charged $0.25 for each! They said I hadn't asked to have text message ads blocked, I said why would I ask, I wasn't paying for the text messaging option and thus couldn't recieve messages anyway from what I understood. They credited me the charges and put the block on.
ntfs: point, click, drool.
ext2/3: fsck, the little report at the end tells you but it's not detailed
reiserfs: [waves hand] this is not the fragmentation you are looking for
Another bonus is, I don't risk losing file system integrity if there's a power failure.
bullshit. NTFS is sudo-journaled not true journaled and uses a file which is just as suseptable to bitrot (term used loosely) as the rest of the disk, uses "blocks", and can certainly loose integrity.
we have a machine here that has a PC based controler that runs NT4 with NTFS, there's a flag you can set to disble the "dirty bit" check on boot so that no matter what NT won't check the disk on bootup. They do this because it's not uncomon for their target users, machinists, to turn off the PC with the big red E-Stop button and the long chkdsk process anoys them. So after a couple power outages and failure of the too-small UPS they installed the system started refusing to boot due to a loss of file system integrity. yes, machinists are more anoyed at waiting for a chkdsk than the machine being down for a couple days because of a failed system. Go figure.
Yes, NTFS chkdsk's on boot, and NEEDS to be to hold integrety. It even makes those lovely FOUND.### files that fat32+scandisk does.
being the IT guy for a shop that makes tooling for printing presses, I can attest that the biggest problems will indeed be dirt. In order to hold the kinds of tolerences needed there has to be pressure on the gears between the support roll and the print cylinder to keep them aligned. pressure generates heat, which can be counteracted with "cold guns", and most importantly wear. liberal amounts of grease are usualy used reduce wear, and grease is messy. Servo drives can probably be used instead, but now cost goes up. Belt drives are another option, but belts stretch and blow your tolerances.
But tolerance capabilities alone, rotory is more than capable. With 1600 pixels at 17" wide (aproximate from a 19" CRT) is.01 inches per pixel. We target.005 for our manufacturing and tolerate.015 for most orders but our higher end machines are easily capable of.00005 with expensive enough cutting bits. The no-so-expensive bits we use can actully grow by up to.0002 from heat and rotational distortion from spinning 10,000 rpm, measured with lasers of course:)
so, people that use linux don't listen to music? or don't buy music?
that's like, "there's no good business case for advertising smokes and booze to teens because they can't buy them anyway", opps...
or "there's no good business case for advertising anything to kids because they don't have income".. ever seen a cereal ad? it's not for the money makers...
Marketing is a tricky thing, and they already have iTunes on 2 very different windowing system, how hard can it be to add a 3rd?
you can even plug a single button mac usb mouse into a PC and it will work, though with no right click options...
and the short cord on the apple pro mouse makes it REALLY hard to use
The Sony job only plays its own format.
blind? it says right on the page (amongst the kanji) atrac mp3 and wma
Same thing my Clie says, and I don't have to use sony's crap tools to load it, google a bit and you can find where to store the files on the memory stick and just about any mp3 will play just fine, DRM or not.
something is missing from these tests that I've informaly tested myself before.
I'd like to see what this guys scores are after using the HD for a couple months. Let a little fragmentation in then see what they do. ReiserFS will hold up much better in the long run. I used xfs ONCE, after a month my PC was slower than a year old never defraged install of NT4. used a spare HD to migrate to reiser and no probs 2 years later.
And for the whinners complaining of power loss, get a battery! best $100 i ever spent.
IIRC, the AMD 64 runs native 32-bit faster than even higher clocked AMD XP's, not to mention P4's, in several tests. So you get better performance now and with a future OS upgrade even better performance without spending more on hardware.

never read Pentium 4: In Depth?
Sure, Intel fixed some the blatent design flaws eventualy, but it still only works as good as it does becuase of huge-Mhz inflating-heat producing pipeline The P4 is a poor design from the start.
P3-t's OTOH...
Not sure what old skool drives you're using but the FDB drives are super quite, and not much more expensive than the others. The Seagate 120GB FDB drive I have is definatly the quietest moving part in my PC. I can't even hear it churning over the fan noise that's rated at a mere 28dB!
I have an HDD activity light, I don't need to hear the drive... blinky lights are MUCH cooler than some grindy, clicky, whirly sounds anyway.

... just not in the "stable" release
uh, says right there in the first line "Santa Monica, Calif. and Brussels, Belgium (October 13th, 2003)"
not so funny once you read the article, France already nominated... and it seems that for some reason the US supports blowing up Japan over France...

in the next web the Internet searches YOU!
without the death spiral!
and easier to type too!
surfing on lava... really. it was lame in Spy Kids 3D, better with lightsabres? i don't think so.
stop laughing at me, i have kids.
n/t means no text... duh
so why are you reading this

sorry to be the voice of knowing wtf you're blabbing about, but a high gain directional attenna will reach much much further than 100m.
