Actually XFS supports true 4096 sector size as well. For example you can format XFS onto a DVD-RAM (sector size= 2048) without trouble. So best for Linux would be if you can tell the drive not to lie about the sector size.
Usually RAM would use the power-of-two definitions and disks would use the power-of-ten definitions...
That would be disk larger then aprox. 1GB. Before disk hit the GB mark they too where measured power of 2 - which is the right way to do it - sector size if a power of 2 after all.
It is marketing which uses power-of-ten. And as an engineer this pisses me of big time. And that kibi/gibi stuff only means that we have given up fighting and submitted to those marketing lies.
I thought the point was to have a small sector size. With large sectors, say 4096K, a 1K file will actually take up the full 4096K.
Most file system already use a cluster size of 4096 (clustering 8 sectors). The only file system I know of which used sector=cluster size was IBM's HPFS.
So NO, we don't use size. Still I am wary of this emulation stuff. First the 4096 byte sector is broken down to 8 512 byte "virtual" sectors and then those 8 virtual are clustered to one cluster. Would it not be better to use an intelligent file system which can handle 4096 bytes sectors natively? Any file system which can be formatted onto a DVD-RAM should do.
They don't want the equivalent to a single player game that deletes your save if you die.
Strangely the Alternate Reality did precisely that and was quite successful. But then Character revival tools appeared quite quickly. Actually I wrote one of them;-) .
No the next language should be radically different and preferably be one which does not employ { and }. You learn from the differences not from the similarities.
Actually you should be able to set it per folder. I still have folders with only a few files where I prefer Icon view - especially if the Icon shows a preview of the content. And can be resized a little larger.
And guess what: It's precisely what the OS X Finder offers (as well as the dearly missed OS/2 workplace shell).
Stripping the DRM so you can use it on a different device than the manufacturer intended is a pretty clear cut and dried violation of the DMCA. Every single time you do it, you are facing a fine of $250,000 and jail time.
Not where I live. Here in Switzerland the disability organizations pushed a law which make cracking DRM for personal use legal.
Of course you are absolutely right. But do consider the whole thread here. A boss who orders you to add spyware to the application you work on is most likely not the kind of boss who will take no for an answer.
Yes, A phone with specialised answer phone which would be nice:
"Sorry I do not which to receive calls from a caller who hides there phone number. You can leave a message with your phone number and I call you back!"
Of course there it must not ring at all for hidden caller ids.
Yes, that's the theory. In praxis somebody else might have failed and you have to fix the mess. And there will be lot's of break and return statements to make things even more interesting.:-)

Actually it makes me wonder if the virtual 512 sector stuff can be switched off. XFS for example handles lagers sectors sizes gracefully.
Virtual XP machines perhaps ;-)

Good posting. Put's it to the point.

And of course those lowbies might consider that being killed by a bunch 80+ for not apparent reason isn't fun either,
For a beginner I guess it might be better to start with the associate test. The programmer test is the biggest of the lot.

Sure, I won't disagree here. But then $desktop_linux_distro != $mobile_phone_linux_distro as well and yet some users will say there phone runs Linux.
A Linux without KDE or GNOME does not look like what you expect from a modern Linux to look like either.
Well, you could disable the Online content and start with a new character. But it is still annoying.
Use code blocks - you know code in pointy brackets - just like in html.
How about:
[someDictionary
setObject: someObject
forKey: aKey];
Damm!

You are aware that World of Warcraft uses BitTorrent to distribute the updates? So I welcome you to your new world a castrate.
If I had mod point I mod you up.

I don't think illegal robo callers will send there caller id.
Well we are in general agreement here :-)
