Right now MSCD is just a time-limited preview, intended to support downloads of select Microsoft beta releases (e.g. Visual Studio 2008). If this test goes well, Microsoft will probably start using MSCD for all their large downloads. How do you feel about subsidizing Microsoft's bandwidth costs?
You're right this part of the summary is crap.
If you use MSCD from behind a corporate firewall, you may be unable to download content, and may adversely affect other clients' ability to download content.
This from the article, is a whole bunch more realistic. My bad.
Yes we use WSUS, but just one instance of bittorrent can cause problems for certain sections of the lan. Now if this were implemented through some stupid service pack who's to say whether or not all of our workstations don't become little craptastic update servers. I guess my basic point here is that M$ will not put a single public patch server on our network, period.
at my work bittorrent basically will saturate the network depending on the popularity of the files, usable bandwidth dies, and the PCs are effectively turned into torrent bots. If that suddenly happened to every machine on the network (thinking SPx), I would be f*cking livid.
Ooh, just remembered something, if I reboot from LFS to LFS it wouldn't happen, same with rebooting from Suse to Suse, it was a weird problem, I just assumed that each OS was corrupting the dirty bit of the other OS. The error was always "file system hasn't been checked in 90+ days...", so maybe it wasn't corrupting the dirty bit so much as each OS was using a different date format(?) for the last time the fs was checked.
first off, I was just informed that my issue was specific to my situation. second I read elsewhere here that ext3 is backwards compatible treating your ext3 partition like it was an ext2, of course this does not include journaling so it is not much (any?) better than vfat, but it should work.
It's been a while, but I was dual booting between LFS 6.0 and Suse Linux 10.0, it happened on switching between either operating system, so booting to Suse was slow as well as booting to LFS, about the only thing I can think of that might interrupt things would be chrooting into the LFS partition from Suse, which I did almost every time. I'd be interested in any other ideas though, thanks for the info.
Don't know about you, but when I multi/dual boot I typically have a partition in vfat that I like to call "mailbox" and I make sure everything can see it. I'm pretty sure he is talking about having a mailbox that doesn't suck.
I've run ext2 between two installs of linux and it sucks! there's a bit somewhere that gets flipped stating that the file system needs to be checked for integrity, it seems like it gets flipped every time you boot a different OS, so it takes a looong time verifying the integrity of the data whenever you boot to the other OS.
I don't even understand why Apple would do this. As it is you can't use multiple computers running iTunes and realplayer (and other software) simply don't use the drm(); function. Currently if you plug your iPod into another computer for use with another instance of iTunes you get:
Are you sure you want to sync this iPod with this computer, you will lose your entire Music DB?
()Yes ()No
This patent would require a "are you sure you want to brick your ipod?" - pointless.
dual license, then you could try to slip it through. Especially, if the open code were pulled down (maybe even edited drastically), or just flat out deleted.
Personally my least favorite word in the English language is "but".
Go clean your room please.
but I'm hungry/thirsty/tired..., but I didn't make the mess..., and so on.
Nevermind, I was pretty confused about your stance on things. As soon as I read tapecutter's "feedback loop" statement it clicked. Parents ascribe all kinds of ability to their children where it just doesn't exist yet. It's a matter of survival and both the children and the parents have a vested interest in the outcome. I'm sure many people barely realize that love is a survival mechanism, much less realize how it affects their daily lives from that perspective.
so are you saying a child of the tick-clik-ick tribe of some obscure place will find it easier calling their father's tick-tak-teekee-leekee-do as opposed to dada, because that's what they hear all the time? I'm sorry but dada, mama, and papa, are words that are designed for babies to learn. I taught my kids to talk very fluently at a fairly young age (dumb thing to do btw:) ) and the basis of their learning was that if they learned to pronounce their vowels (through imitation) they would quickly learn words, as they had already learned about 40% of the sounds in the spoken English language. If I had spent that whole time whistling at them then sure they would have learned how to whistle but it would have taken a hell of a long time.
it's NOT clockwork--it's electronic transistors with mechanical gates, as noted in the parent.
I didn't rta, barely rts, but I was reading the discussion and thinking to myself "Self, can you imagine how unbelievably sluggishly slow a mechanical computer would be?", I'm kinda thinking it would take around 20 years to boot vista, but that's just off the top of my head.
He is also changing the "overall goals of the organization".
That is a brilliant observation, and brings to light the fact that both traditional political parties would logically oppose what is being done to our country. If a large portion of them weren't convinced that Bush is/was a traditional republican defending our nation from bogeymen.

Well I have a full-time job, and if M$ version is as network intensive as bittorrent is I'm going to be pissed especially if we have no other options.
Yep, it's a superset of "no"

though, journaling in ext3 fixes this and ext3 drivers can't be far behind ext2.

I'm not so sure you even read the summary. Course it's 10am on saturday so I don't blame you.

Actually, I really wouldn't mind a new computer.
except it seems that every time M$ tries to "hug" the community, it just gets bigger, then a couple of years later M$ comes back arms wide open again.

As a capitalist I think I see a profit opportunity in this situation.

That's because you are not a scientist. Peer review is far more effective than elections, it's just really damn slow.
