It needs it because it's a filesystem driver. Somewhere along the chain, LUFS needs it too.
BTW, if you really want to play with good ideas for kernel modules, get the cryptoAPI patches and compile openSSL to use them (which requires more patches, IIRC).
The / syntax makes more sense to me when I'm running from the CLI. It also double checks for me that I have my class structure setup properly indirectly, which has always drove me nuts. Partially nessicary, I guess.

As an earlier poster pointed out, emacs is a lisp engine.
Heh, if you look back, I was the one who pointed that out.:)
Lisp, as far as I know, is interpreted.
Lisp is byte-compiled in most cases because that's what makes the most sense. Lisp is a/very/ dynamic language in all senses of the term. I'm stepping into my boundaries when it comes to languages, but I don't think there is a language that cannot be compiled to native code (although java is proving to be an interesting example), and Lisp is no exception to that. There are compilers out there.
That said, I am pretty new to the lisp world and my comments should not be taken as doctrine.
Emacs as an OS is a joke. Emacs Lisp is not nearly as powerful as real lisp... But it's startling to know what it is capable of.
I use vi in the shell. Emacs is for "real" work.
(all opinions herein are not flamebait -- they are just opinions. shower.)
Actually as I understand it (I'm not an (X)Emacs developer, so some correction may be in order), only the core - terminal handling, X, etc and the lisp interpreter are done in C. The rest is done entirely in lisp.
That's why, if you really take a look at how *big* emacs is by itself, it's small.:)
Heh, I went to the page, started to write, and realized two things:
1) They're not going to listen to e-mail. The last time I wrote my congressman I wrote them a letter. I was 19. I got a hand written letter back. Whether or not he did it himself, probably not, it was a nice gesture -- someone out there wasted a good deal of time replying to me in a very personal fashion. I think the same respect should be returned in kind. Your message will mean more if you take the 10-20 minutes to write that letter (I'm a slow hand-writer:) and send it off.
2) I don't vote. Why should I care now? Perhaps the reason that I should vote is for bills like this, but then again, I just don't care. Open Source in government is nice -- but frankly, if it's not the right product, it shouldn't be used.
I would rather see them use Sun or IBM than use Open Source. If only for the support contracts.
I guess my point is, is that I caught myself being a sheep and not analyzing the situation properly, at least to my own feelings. Please make sure those of you who read this do not do the same. Thank you.:)
This sounds like the reputation that "Dear Raed" got.
There are a lot of people out there who can verify things about his trials and tribulations in Iraq. It's a very interesting blog, and the fact that it's apparently real makes it all that much more interesting.
Probably the one thing that got me "hooked" on half life was that it didn't feel like the story was being told to me, more like I was part of the story.
To the parent of this parent, I suggest you replay the game and spend more time exploring, catching the sights and sounds of the game. Talk to Barney (the cop) or the Scientists a few times and see what he has to say.
The guy has an absolutely un-photogenic face, bad teeth, and in the northwest to many is heralded as "the only good thing to ever come out of microsoft". About the only thing he's done that might anger people is piss off Eddie Vedder, but we all know how easy that is to do.
And while you all sit here in front of your computers, dreaming about all the great things you can do...
He's actually doing them.
Not that it requires money to do the great things you want to. Woz is a perfect example of that, but he's no GQ cover model, either.
I don't disagree with you on this at all -- I clearly stated that in my post.
It's the people and the circumstances that bother me. We've been crying about electronic privacy (despite telephones) ever since the early 80's, and *now* they're going to "give" it to us? Doubtful.
Poindexter is a convicted government criminal that got a presidential pardon. Take a guess who did it (It wasn't Bill Clinton, although he gave his fair share of his own). People are comparing Kelly to mitnick... This is the guy you compare to mitnick.

Let me get this straight, being perfect is the only way to avoid 'blackmarks'?
You don't write much code, do you?
When the code is open, security holes are going to be more visible.

on my machine, it's smaller than vim
Emacs is a lisp engine.
To call it an editor would be like, well, calling redhat a kernel.
Dragonball -- great. Anime is rarely as wacky and wild as this.
Dragonball Z -- some grunting, made up for with cool fighting.
Dragonball GT -- ok, things are getting weird. Grunting is obscene. Toriyama hopefully has no part in this.
The one after that (is it still GT, the one they're showing on CN now?) -- WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?!
Knowing most people think the whole series sucks because Cartoon Network calls the whole thing "Dragonball Z" -- Priceless.
Disney == Kids.
:) kids as disney that creates this.
Don't like it, don't watch what they release, regardless of what it is.
It's just as much the parents that want 2 hours of semi-quiet (yes, they are more quiet in the theater
Is this the same Chaos from the early 90's? Does anyone know? IIRC they were based out of germany, and published a few "engineering" guides.

All polacks do. Well, traditionally named ones, at least.
My grandmother's maiden name, Wroblewski, is also a city. I know nothing of it, however. I just know it exists.

Maybe you should use a fricking dictionary before you try to play the asshole.
Well, that's because programming in perl and understanding perl are two completely different things. :)

You consider RtCW above this?
Sure, it's a nice game, but the single player was nowhere near the level of interaction of Deus Ex or Half-Life.
RtCW is a nice MP game, but the SP wasn't that great, IMO.
Also, Grey Matter software did RtCW, and iD just "guided them".
My wife plays Counter-Strike, because she's good at it and there's a lot of social factor regarding it.
However, showing her quake, etc, she does a good job, but never gets into those games. She'd rather play the sims or something else.
I think you're referring to Div :)
All I can say is that I'm glad someone got to it before I did. :)
Tourism == Taxes == City Projects.
If I had that much money I wouldn't dump it into a pit like mass transit either.
I rode the MAX in portland for 3 years. I only paid when I felt "guilty".
Define "real museum", or alternatively, realize when a good thing is hitting you in the face instead of hiding behind your overvalued protective gear.
I think it's hilarious personally.
