  1. Same problem, different approach on Cross-OS File System That Sucks Less? · · Score: 1

    I had the same problems a few people above mentioned. But since memory requirements are rising and rising I now bought a ATX casing, added 5 hard discs to a Raid 5 (approx. 2.5TB).

    More information:

    • OS: Gentoo Linux
    • Windows/OS X shares: Samba
    • Linux shares: NFS

    Surely, not the cheapest approach, but I think something like this will last longer (more space, does not "die" when the original machine becomes obsolete) than a normal shared disk and I can also use it as a print server, bittorrent client and so on.

    Cheers!

  4. Accuse Gmail! on Email Worse Than Marijuana For Intelligence? · · Score: 1

    Gmail and some other firms are providing huge mailboxes to make people more stupid and take over the world! Yeah. That's their masterplan to take over the world.

    Oh! No! Wait. According to this Slashdot story the just providing many space for big databases.

    Dammed. I just burnt my keyboard with my cigarette. (I should not write so much email's)

    You mean java is slow?
    Yes. Sometimes it is.

    But hey! With such a codename it MUST be much faster ;)

  6. The look and feel of Swing. on New Desktop Features Of Next Java · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah! This is really something that should be made better.
    Always when I use some Swing based applications I'm remembered that the times of ugly GUI's aren't over yet.

    Well. That will maybe right.

    But what is after this wave of attention? I'm sure that the Bitkeeper promotion team has lost its best example for a successful project.

  8. Do this change something? on Tridgell Reveals Bitkeeper Secrets · · Score: 1

    I don't think that this changes much in open source development. Linus has made his decision and i think that this isn't that good for bitkeeper. Many companies are using bitkeeper because linux is/was managed with this tool. Well. We'll see. But well done Andrew. Better than reverse engeneering it in the hard way and "ripping" the secrets out...

  9. What GIT Means. on Torvalds Unveils New Linux Control System · · Score: 4, Informative
    Linus definition of GIT:
    "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronounciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
  10. I thought... on Torvalds Unveils New Linux Control System · · Score: 1

    .. that this desicion was made a few days before. not today? mh. ok. well. i think that git's way to manage source is nice. but in my opinion a (better) frontend must be coded. the actual version is really strange to handle. what are your experiences with that tool?
