the fsck that comes with Mac OS can't even repair certain cases of the "Invalid Node Structure" errors (some third party products averaging about $100 each claim to handle those cases). Really Apple should either make their shit fixable or get a more modern file system
scary news for you, writing into NTFS from LInux is still not reliable and not all features have been reverse engineered. Especially true with NTFS 6 (vista/win7) which is only partially supported by Linux ntfs-3g. If you value your data, use a different solution.
not my experience at all, seen some companies have major data center deployment train wrecks of j2ee apps because of windows development environment completely different from mainframe or big Unix iron. From directory structure and file naming, to permissions and ownership, to date/time....the list goes on and on. Developers need to understand and work on the target platforms, and any java developer for "big iron" that can only function on a windows box is fit only to be cut up for chum.
a lot of companies who bought Sparc also are begging. And Alpha, for that matter, some major financial and municipal operations still on that platform.
we have centuries of supply of phosphate too but the avoiding a peak in about 100 years is simply a matter of recycling instead of wasting it. Longer term, the element phosphorous itself is not rare, 0.1% of crust of the earth, but it energy intensive to extract the element and build the chemicals we need.
It is clear from the 2nd derivative of world population that we'll peak with 8.5 billion somewhere around 2075, and then world population will shrink. We do indeed have centuries of fossil fuel supply.
I don't think it's too much about any particular president, fascism just needs mega corporations with government in its pocket. Obama is continuing the Bush/Cheney agenda just fine, because it's the marching orders.
War gains power, profit, and political coin for those in charge and for their lackeys. The USA will have war without end, what voters want is irrelevant.
not seeing a lot of encouraging things there, pal. more oracle acquisitions including Berkeley DB and MySQL, and they've fucked at least one of those up.
the sad truth is we have centuries of supply of fossil fuel. I don't give a shit about global warming, but do care about pollution including ocean acidification. plenty of smart ways to get our power, no shortage of energy on this world.
you're wrong, Texans also have long guns and some other things, and that is sufficient as U.S. finds out but does not learn over and over and over in Afghanistan, Iraq, Viet Nam, Korea.
Texas receives less federal benefit than it pays. cut out the middle man, as they say.
Texas allows illegal to come and work, what additional new border patrol is needed?
no, california can't stand on its own, imports a third of it's electricity and 90% of it's water. Funny 20% of it's electricity comes from two nuke plants, if Californians were smart they'd build a few more of those things and be energy and water independent (yes, a nuke plant can make fresh water). but instead they waste money and real estate on low energy density "solutions" that don't produce much power and aren't really that "green" anyway.
had to look it up, the decay feeding the heat is largely from things such as Uranium-238 with half-life 4.5 billion years and thorium-232 with 14.1 billion year half-life. Holy crap, that's going to last a while. Some scientists think there's a chance the Earth *might* escape being boiled away by the expanding Sun, but even then the Sun will die long, long before the internal heat of the earth gives out. truly an energy source with a cosmic timescale. If we fail at colonizing space because interstellar travel turns out to be too hard, maybe our descendants can just move the earth outward as the Sun expands, and finally burrow into the ground when the sun dies or pump the heat up to enclosed habitats.

that's funny, because whatever distribution of OS you are using makes much use of them. So you are using them and benefiting from them.

Censorship is what a government does. The people shutting the evil mouths of those in government is not censorship
how's that democracy working out for the Utouchables? hardly get beaten or raped at all, much, compared to fifty years ago?
NO, we're talking about people in government. The should be MADE to shut up.

please explain how a dirt farmer, disgruntled with a foreign invader, and picking up (small) arms, 10,000 miles away, is a "terrorist".
you know, with that kind of logic you're *really* going to be confused by our War on Terror and our War on Drugs.
we have the flavor of fascism with corporatism, historically it can be with or without

just another mega-corporate bitch. jokes on you.

only the non-chosen will die right before this Christmas/Kwanzaa/Hannukah 2012. The chosen will save a bundle on gifts.

there have been flying cars for decades. they're called private planes. yes, you have to be a pilot to own or operate one, which is reasonable.

that's a water heater. it runs on natural gas or electricity from a utility. sorry.

ha! outside of Sun acquisitions, what has Oracle contributed to open source?
