From what is sounds like, the problems of a SSD device warrant a differently designed file system.
There already exist a number of file system implementations designed specifically flash such as JFFS, JFFS2 and YAFFS. (I'm sure there are others I have not bumped into yet...)
The Bears and Elk up in canada cant hold down shift, so using any punctuation in the password will protect the computers from the majority of the animals.
An old friend tells a similar one about learning a thing or two about neural nets... they thought it could detect tanks from the air, when in reality it told you if the photo was taken on a clear or cloudy day. Pure myth... but fun nonetheless
Note how your interesting explanation hasn't been modded up? You should added some 'foam at the mouth' reactionary stuff about the ISPs turning of the interwebs, and possibly a little 'conspiracy theory', in the first paragraph,then you'd have been modded up.

Doesn't this sort of go without saying? Surely this comment could be applied to 95% of the comments in 95% of the stories?
There's no way that BT's protocol could be as sophisticated as TCP, given its 30+ years of development.
Most people don't appreciate how amazingly well TCP's flow control works in terms of maximizing link utilization in a way that is fair to all network users. We really don't need is an arms race of new, greedier protocols.
All you've done here is demonstrate how little you know about UDP and TCP and bittorrent. I have always been rather uncomfortable with at TCP based implementation since UDP should be far more efficient for this application. TCP is just a sign of laziness on the part of the implementor.
The summary writes that the regulations are making things worse for the consumer. I beg to disagree. Unsafe public transportation is worse than expensive public transportation, and there is a compelling public policy reason for regulating public transportation for safety's sake- regulations that Pickup Pal did not abide by.
Thank you pointing this out, I was about to do the same. What our cousins to the south are not aware of are the recent events that have led up to this legislation including a rather spectacular traffic accident involving a badly maintained mini-van that was purported to be part of an informal car pool but was in fact nothing other than one of many vehicles run by a black-market bus company.
Because people want to relate to their president or vice-president. People don't like to feel stupid, and making stupidity the norm is a very effective way of not getting confronted with your own stupidity quite as often.
(partially tongue in cheek) That seems to be true of republicans, but the democrats and some 52% of voters don't seem to be afraid of electing someone who is clearly smarter than average.
When I hire someone to do a job I want them to BE qualified.
But... having dated lawyers in the past I guess I'm not easily intimidated...:-)
How were they giving it away in the first place? If you go to Sun's website and try to download Star Office normally, it's $70. So how was Google able to give it away for free, and why isn't "sun wanted cash" a possible explanation for Google dropping the product?
Don't bring logic into this, that way leads only to madness.
Most people are not running for office. Most people can't handle double entry book-keeping either, but they're not accountants. When I hire someone to develop software I expect a certain amount of professional knowledge, why would you expect less of a President or Vice-President?
Well, its a problem if you are both security conscious AND stupid.... oh how I wish that was a much smaller intersection than it actually is....
Yes... but we're talking here about a level of stupidity that would preclude the incredibly small demographic that would be smart enough to start telnetd in the first place.

N.B. There's an IBM Devworks article discussing flash file systems for linux.
A proper functional spec does describe the problem.
Or so I'm told, I've never actually seen one.
I've seen the spectrum of quality... sadly most tend towards the completely useless.
40. Premarital Saxaphoning
I'm shocked! SHOCKED!
I find most Slackware users to be the most knowledgeable Linux users I come across usually.
Because you have to be to get it running and be productive... Slackware is for those who know what their sins are.
Use a strong root password, DUH.
The Bears and Elk up in canada cant hold down shift, so using any punctuation in the password will protect the computers from the majority of the animals.
The beavers however can... bloody hacks.
"Ubuntu ate my computer" is a great phrase. I've got to figure out how to work it into daily conversation ;-)
How about "Edubuntu ate my homework." ?
By using Slack, everyone around you will know that your kung-fu is the best kung-fu.
Using Srack gives not the kung-fu. Disciprine... come from within.
This one has grasped the Tao of Linux, pray that we do not grow to fear him in time.
Those that don't understand java are doomed to repeat it.
Given that Java started as a poor re-implementation of other VM based OO languages that just makes me want to weep.
um...a dictionary?
*WHOOSH*
There is no such thing as a bogus fact.

While flying supplies into the outback, we were shot down by the kangaroos anti-aircraft fire.
Gotta love that story.

Of course this is Utah, so it might look better after the blast.
Yeah... I was thinking that this was an all around win/win.
In other words, SCO is a zombie. It can't be killed by normal litigation. Argh, kill it with fire! Do it now!
Nuke it from orbit! It's the only way to be sure...

The full paper will be published in Scientific America once it has completed peer review.
You've never actually read Scientific American have you?
and CUSA, whose mandate is to get Carleton into the mainstream press for being stupid at least once every two years
I most venomously object to this underestimation of CUSA... the mandate is to be as stupid as possible as often as possible!

won't give a flying piece of monkey poo.
I'm voting for "flying monkey poo" for the slashdot meme for winter 2008/2009

I'm sure most people don't know what the Bush Doctrine, read a paper, or could name a supreme court decision they agreed with, or have any clue about international relations.

You bend fiber just right
Well if we're talking about a LAN, at this point your physical security has already been compromised and all bets are off.
or is anything worth protecting worth using CAT5 on?
The truly paranoid use fiber. Google "TEMPEST security" for hours of fun. (Tinfoil hat is optional.)
Well, its a problem if you are both security conscious AND stupid.... oh how I wish that was a much smaller intersection than it actually is....
Yes... but we're talking here about a level of stupidity that would preclude the incredibly small demographic that would be smart enough to start telnetd in the first place.
